Teuton Makes Rapid Attack Upon

American Women

American Women.
In the Vossische Zeitung OF Berlin,
Otto E'iabe hands il ~ the lnlaed
States as follows:
Perhaps in this war Of surprises.
none have been more disa%reeable
than those caused by the treacherOus
attitude of America. "The principal
reason is that the average German
knows little or nothing about Amer
lea and Americans. who have So
journed over yonder, and have had
ample experience of the Yankee
character, could not possibly have
been surprised at any Judas-like ac-
tion on the part Of that nation or
its official representatives.
In America a prison warder who
had kicked to death prisoner caught
attempting to escape, obtained from
a Judge permission to embalm the
mans corpse and to tour the country
with the mummy at Il charge of 81 to
each person to view it. in America
there lives Roosevelt, the man with
the teeth of prehistoric herbivorous
mammal; teeth which once seen are
never forgotten.
an America the swindler and the
cheat is hero. As regards Ameri-
can women, would have them neither
as sweethearts nor wives OF love
they are incapable. Rapacity and
willfulness are the keynotes to their
character.
