KAISER'S DENTIST
TELLS Of GERMANY
Surprised at Freedom Accord
ed German Subjects in u.
S.-AmeriCa SC0rned.

NEW YRK. March 1.-The Ger
man press is carefully and adroitly
continuing to foster the idea among
the German people that America is
not really i'm earnest. about the war"
declared DR.. A. y. Davis today in
discussing the situation i'm Berlin as
he left X just over a month ago
Or. Davis, formerly Of Piqua, o., is
the American dentist who lived i'm
the German capital for I . years and
numbered Emperor William among
his patients.
Every effort is being made to
belittle America-even the highest
officials are attempting TO convey
the impression that Germany has
little 10 fear from the United States.
Practically nothing is printed coa-
corning America except the 'presi-
dents addresses on war aims AMI
the possible basis of a permanent
peace. Even these are treated by
the papers as if the president were
speaking as a sort of detached per
son whose interest was the welfare
of the world; not with the idea
that they represent the earnest de
termination of the American people
to see the war through to a success
ful conclusion.
Not until Germany begins to feel
the military pressure of the United
States will the people realize the
new conditions that confront them
Then, / predict the fostered enmity
toward England will be as nothing
TO the hatred that Will be poured
out by the inspired press against
America.
The American business men. who
took advantage of the nine months
treaty between the United States
and Germany TO wind up business
affairs as far as possible. were kept
under the closest surveillance by
the police
Surprised at Lenicncy Here.
The thing that has impressed me
most since my return to America
is the freedom we accord to Ger
man subjects over here. 1t seems
20 me as if no restrictions We're
placed on theG whatever. I'm Ger
many. every time some new regula-
ton was adopted regarding the
Americans the excuse was given that
the United States was treating Ger
mans harshly and there must be
some retaliation. You can imagine
my surprise to get home and find
German subjects free 10 travel about
the country at Will, just so they 10
not actually go within given dis
lance Of certain establishments.
and this. too. i'm the face of the
fact that not since the war started
has a single overt act been charged
AGAINST ar~American in Germany.
where as here i'm the United states
we have had TO put up with all sorts
of admitted crimes by German resi-
dents"
DR.. Davis said a German often
sive i'm the west had been freejv
talked about i'm Berlin since last
November.
MANY people have suggested 20
me that b. Germany really intended
am offensive she would not he talk
ine about il so much" he explained.
That is a wrong theory. We heard
about the italian offensive for
months before it began. The stories
got around i'm the same way and I
ann convinced Germany intends 20
strike several hard blows even =
she does rot have an idea Of def
nitely breaking the allied line"
