tag. one of the weekly newspapers
of Berlin. 1t was copied by a num-
Der of progressive newspapers
throughout the empire, but when the
attention Of the military and naval
authorities was called to this propa-
ganda an order was issued prohibit
ing any newspaper from making any
reference to the League to Enforce
Peace. The anti-Am erican editorial
writers were inspired to write brief
notices to the effect that the league
was In reality to be a league against
Germany supported by England and
the United States.
Throughout the summer and fail
there appeared In various newspaperA
including the influential Frankfurfef
Zeitung, inspired articles Abbout tho
possibilities Of anne1ing the industrial
centers and important harbors Of Bel
giurn. In Munich and Leips!c a book
by DIR. Schumacher, OF Bonn univer-
sity. was published. entitled Antwerp.
It's World Position and Importance for
Germany's Economic Life" Another
writer named Ulrich Rauscher wrote
a. number of newspaper and magazine
articles for the purpose Of showing
hat Germany would need Antwerp
after this war in order to success

and France in world commerce He
figured that the difference between the
cost OF transportation from the Rhine
valley Industrial cities to Antwerp and
the cost OF transportatitn from the
Rhine valley to Hamburg and Bremen
would be great enough to enable Ger
man products to be sold in America
for less money than products of Ger
manyS enemies.
These articles brought up the old
question Of the freedom of the seas"
Obviously. II the allies were to control
the seas after the war, as they had
during the war, Germany could make
no plans for the re-establishment of
her world commerce unless there were
some assurances that her merchant
fleet would be as free IN the high
seas AZ that OF any other nation. Dur
ing the war Germany had talked a
great deal about the freedom of the
seas. When the Lusitania was tor
pedoed Won Jagow said In an inter-
view that Germany was fighting for
the free seas and that by attacking
England's control Germany was act
ing in the interests of the whole world.
But Germany was really not sincere
in what she said about having the
seas free. What Germany really de-
sired was not freedom of the seas in
peace time. because the seas had been
free before the war. What Germany
wanted was free e in war time
freedom for her own merchant ships
to go from Germany to any port in
the world and return with everything
except absolute contrnband. Ger
many's object was to keep from build
ing a navy great enough to protect
her merchant fleet in order that she
mirht dev0ta all har a~perries to army
organisation. But the freedom OF the
seas was a popular phrase. Further
more, II explained to the German peo-
pie why their submarine warfare was
not inhuman because II was really
