KAHN'S LOYALTY
TOU. S. ANNOYS
GERMAN EDITOR

NEW YORK, April 2.-Commenting
on Otto H. Kahr's recent speech In
New York, in which he expressed his
disgust with present Germany, the
Frankfurter Zeitung writes:
lotto H. Kahn was, to our regret,
born in Germany, but fortunately has
been living for many years in the
United States. For good reasons he
had preferred to become an English
subject, which he was q short while
before the war. This does not pre-
vent him from, since a year ago,
preaching against Germany and the
Germans the holy war which we
Americans must wage for the liberia
ton Of the world from the German
and Prussian spirit.
His acquaintance with German af-
fairs does not prevent him from max
ing the Americans afraid or German
annexationist plans in the New World
and from telling his new countrymen
that nobody In the last thirty years
has had a greater influence on the
Germans than Nietzsche, with his say
ing that a good war remedies every
thing
'He who knows how this gentleman
Is looked upon in American circles
also knows that his war propaganda
Is not a matter OF conviction with
him, but of ambition. He has already
received his reward, in that shortly
after Americas entrance into the war
Il had been said OF him in the Lon
don Times that the Allies, especially
Great Britain. have had no frmer and
nobler friend than Mr.. Kahn"

CALL ON JAPANIS

army into the field against Germany.
Under the caption. Bring In japan

Iy says that AT the present time We
have an unrivaled opportunity to give
Hindenburg a surprise. IT is to bring
in Japan with her splendid<army of
1000 900 men.
S'Imagine the effect on. the German
population, who have been promised
an early peace as a result Of the west
ern offensive, iof an announcement
that the hrst of sixty Japanese dixi--
sions are astride the railway to Lake
Baikai. Japan has a great chance
to serve the cause of humanity.
"The Japanese divisions moving
along the Trans-Siberian railway now
are more valuable to the allied cause
than twenty divisions two months
later"
