diets peace proposal was the occasion
OF a demonstratiuii oii the honrse there
yesterday. After speech by Herr
Fabrius, president of the chamber of
commerce, it was resolved to send the
following to the emperor:
Bremen merchants raise an indig-
nant protest against President Wilson'S
hypocritical reply to the note in which
he processes to combat the German
government in order to drive the
American people with whom Germany
never had a quarrel into war which
they regret.
"In this hour Bremen merchants
pledge themselves unalterabiy to your
majesty"
In his speech President Fabrius said
no other enemy utterance had invoked
such wrath in every German sheart as
President Wilson's note in which the
most sacred rights of the German ma
tion were assailed.
Another demonstration was held on
the Hamburg bourse where resolutions
similar to those approved in Bremen
were adopted.
