does not help good relations between
the two countries. Envy is the
mother OF hate. and the envied and
returned German-American receives
only lip welcome in the village Of
his ancestors.
Caricatures OF Uncle Sam and OF
President Wilson were published In
all German papers. A caricaturo
representing our President releasing
the dove or peace with one hand while
he poured out munitions for the allies
with the other was the least unpleas-
ant.
As have said. from the 10th Of Au-
gust. 1914. to the 25th OF September,
1918, the Emperor continually refused
to receive me on the ground that he
would not receive the ambassador OF

OF Prince Max Of Baden. who had to

and In other countries. On one 90

helm. wife OF one of the Kaiser's sons,
with contribution OF money for her

she would personally receive eontri-

DR.. Jacobs, who was the CORES
pondent in Berlin of Musical America,
and who remained there until about
the 2oth OF April. 1917. was called to
the Kommandantur about the 18th OF
April, 1917, and subjected to a cross

animation he was asked II he knew

Joining. do not know, but during the
remainder Of his stay in Berlin he
was compelled to report twice a day
to the police, and was not allowed to
leave his house after s o'clock in the
evening. The question, however, put
to him shows the direct interest that
the German authorities took in the
existence OF this malodorous organ

1t appears that in some Of the cir
culars issued by the League of Truth
I was accused of giving American
passports to Englishmen in order to
enable them to leave the country.
After left Germany there was an
in the Reichstag about
this and Zimmerman was asked
about the charge, which, he said, he
had Investigated and found untrue.
In another chapter I have spoken
Of the subject OF the selling of arms
and supplies by America to the allies.
No German ever forgets this. The
question OF legality or treaties never
snters his mind, be only knows that
America supplies and munitions

Is q hate we must meet for long
years.
