cesses- An official dispatch fron
France today commenting on pessi-
mistic discussion in the German press
of events in the United States. quotes
the Volks zeitung as Follows:
"Mr Wilson hopes to succeed i'm
crushing the German elements. He
will succeed. The German press is al
ready nearly crushed out of existence
in America. The greater part of the
German schools are closed. The Ger
man associations are having to strip
themselves of all vestiges of German-
ism. 1t is a complete. debacle.
'It is unnecessary to be pessimistic
to realize that the consequences of
our European victories are in mea-
sure balanced by the sum total of the
losses we have suffered in America.
