Constant Leak Of News
An almost constant how OF inform
alton reaches Berlin direct from this
nation. as evidenced By the fact that
allied shipments carefully covered
and in some eases sent to Canada are
published m Berlin papers.
Two possible avenues OF communal
cation are open-nrst secret wire
lesses; second, embassies friendly to
Germany who have access to cables
and use Of code.
Mexico has a powerful wireless In
Tucatan. This has been known for
some time, though officials have al
ways said this was not Germany's
wireless base.
Thorough search Planned
However. q thorough search, more
drastic than ever before, will now be
undertaken.

Germany struck her first blow at
the United States. since the declara-
tion Of a state OF war by this Gov
eminent, when her submarines at
tackled the troop ships en- route to
France. Up TO that, Germany in Of
eiai statements for publication, had
refused to recognize America as an
enemy.
'Pained surprise" was feigned that
the United States should take bslli-
gerent action against Germany. The
Berlin government did not respond to
this Government's war declaration by
declaring war on the United States.
As q matter Of fact. there Is no formal
declaration Of war between the two

merely declared = state Of war to

New significance was seen today In
the comment of the German press on
the arrival Of the American troops in
France a. indicating the disappofnt-

Berlin at the failure Of the Supma-
rines to atop the American troop
ships.
Count Won Reventlow, one Of Amer

reports Of the American troops land

he did not believe soldiers had ar

"our case in the fewest words pos

it's citizens wherever they may be
on land or sea.

Reads Declaration.

Before he read the Declaration of
Independence. Col. Frederick c. Bryan,
past president OF the Sons OF the
American Revolution. said:
This was a declaration against Il
German-descended king on the throne
OF Great Britain, who like his kinsman
OF today. was trying TO destroy democ-
racy and self-sOvernment"
Secretary Daniels and Others ap-
plauded this statement,
Ambassador Spring-Rice smiled, and
It seemed he was not without some
sympathy for the sentiment expressed
by Colonel Bryan.
This is my prediction-in fifty
years there will be no crowned head
in any country on the face OF the
earth" was the interpolated prophecy
made by Speaker Clark during his
speech.
