GERMANS SHOW FEAR

New Slogan "DoWn With Eng.

LONDON, April 5.-Telegraphing from
The Hague. the Excnange Telegraph's
correspondent says the German Ministry
Of Finance publishes the following letter,
written by Ernst Heinrich Haeckel. pro-
fessor Of zoology In the University OF
Jena. as propaganda for the sixth Ger

"Should England. who brought about

British peace and the destruction OF our

GermAnia. England is rightly called

us AS she has treated Ireland.
"I have known England for fifty years

GERMANS KEPT
In DARK ON US.
Important Parts of Presidents
War Message Stricken
Out by Censor.

CorENHAaEN, via London, April g.
The German public up to the present
time has had no opportunity to hear the
tull story Of the reasons leading up to
tho entry OF the United States In the
war. us only condensed and expurgated
versions Of President Wilson's message
appeared In German newspapers yester-
day under headings indicating that this
was practically the complete text
This In part is apparently due to the
fact that the first version of the speech
telegraphed from England TO neutral
countries OH the Continent on Tuesday
was sharply condensed, whole sections
having been eliminated. particularly
from the latter part Of the message.
But a comparison Of this tabloid ver-
sion as received in Denmark with that
published In Berlin shows that the Ger
man censors' pencils had been vigorously
employed to strike out references to the
conduct OF German agents. which con-
stitute one OF the main items OF Presi-
dent Wilson's indictment Of the auto
cratic German Government.
President Wilson's reference 10 the at
tempt to embroil Mexico against the
United States is deemed improper read
ing for Germans, nor are they allowed
to hear President Wilson's reasons for
the conviction that the autocratic Ger
man Government has not only no friend
ship for America but Is ready Ut any
opportunity to plot against It's security.
The reference to dynasty wars. too. Is
twisted into a shape which has aroused
indignant comment from every German
newspaper.
The full text of the message was re-
ceived In Copenhagen only to-day. and
reads almost like another document AS
compared with the earlier version. The
first part of the two versions Is sub
stantially the same, except for conden-
sations and the omission of non-essen-
tial matter. The second part has been
cut wholesale. The Presidents reason
ing on the inadvisability OF armed neu-
trality Is given incompletely. There is
no reference to the proposed financing
Of the Allies. and the paragraphs rela:-
ing to Russia arc dismissed in two sem
tences. Only tho hrierest summary IL
made In the German papers OF the con-
cluding paragra phs OF the message.

is, among other things. q tendency Of
people to go to revues and music halls
where the curtains do NOT drop.
1T is an indication of the restless

before the war If these people are to

have plays presented to them which

There nav be rapid changes of scene

To have the same setting from be
