MAKES ATTACK
ON PRESIDENT
Brother of German Empress
INDUCES in Hate Spasm
on United States.
SAYS GERMANS
DETEST WILSON

= ONION, Eng. Feb. Duke
Ernst Gunther, Of Schleswig-
- Holstein, brother OF the Ger
man empress, has written an article
Of a most insolent and disgraceful
which he contributes to 'Nord und
Sud-" a periodical edited by the no.
torious Herr Ludwig Stein. It IS
mainly a ferocious attack on president
Wilson.
The duke cannot understand why
the most recent utterances Of presi-
dent Wilson have not been still more
severely eastigated in the German
press, and why they have not been
covered with the discredit they merit.
This president dares to express his
moral Indignation. about German con-
ditions, and to speak of the influence
which the German monarchy exer-
cises on other peoples. The most su-
perficial knowledge Of American con-
ditions tells ons that Russia is the
only country where corruption is on
par with the corruption in
America"

President Wilson, says the en-
press's brother, is a professor. and
must know all about Germany. He !
must know that its imperial suffrage
is more democratic than that of I
America, and that the reichstag is not I

lords. I do not believe that one in a /

pose before Germany as moral /

so huge country We might regard /
him as political mountebank." the /
duke says.
