Pan-German press, particularly the
Deutsche Zeitung, of being Influenced

By this was probably meant the son
of one of the former proprietors
called Simeon, who is an American liv-

Frankfurter Zeitung refused to pub
ish a letter from Prof Behrendsen
charging President Wilson with being
financially interested through his SON
in-law's connection with the Morgan
group.
The professor claims that Germany's
victory would mean Wilson's and Nor

reason for his anti-German attitude
