JEERS AT THE IDEA
OF U. S. MILITARY AID
Maj. Moraht Says American Army
and Navy Offer No Danger
to Germany.
BY the Associated Press.

By the ASSoCiafed Press.
AMSTERDAM via London, April IL
The American army is held up to ridicule
by Maj. Moraht. writing in the Deutsche
Tages Zeitung, who jeers at the idea that
America can give any effective military
aid to the allies. Maj. Noraht says:
1.-The American army is no danger to
Germany. The civil war cost half mil
lion lives because neither side had a
trained army. Now. Wilson, forgetful of
history. is trying the same thing, but 1t
will be shown once more that bragga-
docio of his countrymen is in inverse ratio
to their fighting value"
Mai Moraht concludes with a sneer at
"shoddy American war material" con-
corning which. he says. the Russians
could tell tale.
The Vorwaerts says, ironically, that it
is now considered good form to Join the
anti-German world league. The socialist
organ declares that Brazil. Peru and
Chile. protesting to be preparing to fight
for humanity and civilization, are really
instigated by their material dependence
on New York, London and Paris and the
east, with which rich German transat-
lantic Communities can be attacked. It
urges, however, that "as the fruits of
many decades of pioneer work are at
stake. the menace should not be mini
mZed.
THE world league is becoming gro
tesque in size it concludes, ''Goliath
versus David!"
The Kreuz zeitung says: Thirteen
hundred millions of the worlds inhabi-
tants are fighting 10000, 900 Germans Let
the rest of the earth come as well, we will
