Unbelievable America.


In the chapter of Hugo Munsterberg' 8
unfinished autobiography, published in
the Century under the title, Twenty
i've Years, In America" the Harvard
professor tells some of the amusing
misconceptions of America current IN
Germany a quarter of q century ago.
The one, however, who brought me
nearest to America was the historian
Hoist" wrote Professor Mu. sterberg.
"In the lecture room his real life work
was silenced. Who would care to study
American history? But in the drawing
room he did not talk Of anything else;
America and America again. Sometimes
we had to listen to American stories
through whole dinner parties. I do re-
member that at my first Freiburg party
he reached his climax when he told the
fascinated company that he had been in
a hotel in New York where his room
had private bathroom in which he
could have hot bath at any hour of
the night. The lady next to me relieved
the dramatic tension by whispering, I
do not believe it. Well, no one be-
heved much Of what he heard concern-
ing America"

TEUTONS STRIVE TO
CONCILIATE MEXICO

Mexico City. June 81 Every posi-
bic pressure including financial Of
fers, is reported to have been brought
to bear by Germans and pro-Ger-
mans to stop the campaign of Ell Uni
yersal for the severance of relations
between Mexico and Germany.
The discussion of the campaign has
brought a renewal of charges that
pro-German papers are indirectly aid
ed in their campaign against the
United States by free print paper sup
piled by firms in the United States.
1t is known that 400 rolls of paper
were shipped by New York firm to
Vera Cruz in April and it Is charged
that La Opinion of We Cruz was
offered part of this shipment free if
it would take a pro-German stand,
The offer was refused and the ship
ment reached Mexico City.
Telegraphic news, written with the
obvious purpose Of misrepresentins
the United States, comes from New
York and apparently has no difficulty
in passing the censor.

Ayr -eau OF Toreign and Domestic Com
merce, Department of Commerce, be-
fore the annual convention of the Ma
ational Association of Credit Men at
Kansas City, Mo, Thursday morning.
June 21.)
There are three Fundamental rea-
sons why the subject of foreign crediis
should be upeimost in our minds to-
day: first, the tremendous growth OF
ours foreign markets and the nkel-
hood that many of these new markets
will be permanent; second, the enor-
NOUS destruction of capital now taking
place which for many years to come
will put a burden on the credit struct-
ures of world trade, and third, the
fact, that in this greatest and most
desperate war of all history. the ma
tons with which we are cooperating
are anxious to conserve their limited
supplies of gold, while many neutral
nations from whom they and we are
drawing supplies are either unable or
unwilling to continue to furnish these
supplies on the basis Of future pay
ment. Isl
These three causes of our intense
interest in foreign credits, appearing
to us daily in the form of an unend-
ing mass Of details with conditions
bound to grow worse before they grow
better. are destined to tax to the ut
mcst our powers Of wise decision.
The ways and means by which these
various and grave demands are to be
met, now that we have made the de-
cisioa to meet them, rests largely On
the gray matter of the credit man
from the foreign credit expert of the
small export firm, to the president
of the biggest banks and the highest
officers of the Treasury Department.
We know from the limited amount
Of news that trickles through from the
Central Powers that very ambitious
plans are being made to dominate the
worlds trade after the war. A speaker
at an Austrian meeting Of invited
manufacturers is quoted as stating
that plans have been perfected where
