GERMANS STILL
HAVE GREAT FAITH

An Amsterdam dispatch dated May
says:
The German reichstag resumed its
session today. The president of the
chamber, DR.. Johannes Kaempf, in
opening his address, speaking of the
entry of the United States into the
war. said a new and mighty opponent
had Joined Germany's enemies. Presi-
dent Wilson in a message to Congress
April 2. he declared, said he was wag-
ing war in the interests of mankind
and on the ground of justice.
President Wilson, he continued had
ton, since he had not stirred a finger
to hinder England when England an
nounced her war of starvation against
Germany, a war in violation of all hui
man and international rights; Presi-
dent Wilson had lost his sight when
he rejected the German proposal to
secure the lives of Americans on
American vessels in certain routes,
which carried no contraband, and by
this rejection exposed his own CON-
patriots to danger and death.
Declares Germany's Freedom Menaced
president Wilson," said DR..
Kaempf, represents the German peo-
pie as without will of their own and
as having been driven into the war
by group of ambitious people, but he
tells nothing of the long years of en-
circlement and Vaccinations against
them; nothing of the enemies re-
Gently strongly expressed will to de-
stroy Germany.
THE German people rose in August,
1914, and still fight today to defend
their freedom. Independence and life.
President Wilson says he has no quar-
rel with the German people, for whom
he only entertains sympathy and
friendship.
President Wilson desired by his
message to SOW discord in Germany.
AS president of the German reichstag,
which is elected by the freest fran
chise in the world, declare that this
effort will come to naught; that it will
have no influence on the common
sense of our people. and that Presi.
dent Wilson will bite granite"
This remark evoked thunderous ap.
plause.
Loyal to Kaiserdom
with our truest hearts blood we
established the German kaiserdom,
and with our truest hearts blood we
shall fight for the kaiser and the
empire. Renewed applause) What
our forefathers fought for and longed
for, what we have achieved on the
battlefield will not perish even at
President Wilson's word of com.
mand.
I'VE decline all interference by a
foreign government In our internal al.
fairs. II all signs are not misleading
the decisive point of the worlds war
Is approaching. We see our death
defying troops withstanding the enc
my's assaults. Our U-boats will show
England how Germany can avenge heI
nefarious starvation war. We proved
recently our financial strength by q
sixth war loan. We adhere to our
firm belief in Germany's star and in a
peace which will secure for all time
the fatherland's happy development"
There was fresh outburst OF ap.
plause as DIR. Kaemph concluded, and
the chamber then proceeded to the
second reading of the budget.
