GERMANS DECLARE
THEY'RE SURPRISED
Officials Say They Can See No
Reason for U. S. to Adopt
Hostile Attitude.

BERLIN, April 4.-Officials here
said they could not see any reason
for Americas adopting a hostile atti-
tude toward Germany. They protest
ed that responsibility must rest with
the United States and that it does
not lie with Germany.
In the meantime 1t was asserted
Germany will treat Americans still
remaining in Germany just the same
as heretofore.
Berlin newspapers and public dis
cussion among Germans is divided be-
tween the American situation and the
franchise reform movement in Ger
many.
Agrees With Speech.
Leader Basserman. OF the Liberal
party, today wrote to Deputy Strese-
man. expressing agreement with the
latter's Reichstag speech for electoral
reforms, and especially favoring an
immediate change in the electoral
franchise in Prussia.
Commenting on French reports that
the Russian proletariat will only
meet Germany as a friend after abdi-
cation OF the Hohenzollerns. the So
cialist organ. Vorwaerts. today de-
clared editorially:
The German people alone have the
right to decide between monarchy and
a republic. We demand the same
right which we granted the Russians
to choose their own form of govern
ment.
Most Want Monarchy.
while the recent elections showed
a third of the entire vote~was that
cast by Social Democrats, it does not
prove that all this number are in
favor of republic. A majority want
a monarchy-although a democratic
monarchy.
Russian Socialism has not fulfilled
its mission unless IL helps the ap-
proach of peace by letting the Ger
man people know they may arrange
their own liberty. After this war
there will be no people in Europe un-
able to determine their own fate.
None will wish to return to the pres
ent dreadful situation"
