GERMANY HATESU us.

Former Ambassador PenfieId
Says Austria Has Little III
Feeling for America.
BERLIN RULES Vienna

That Germany hates tho United States
as she hates no other foe, but that this
hatred is not shared by Austria Hun
gary is the belief of Frederic Court
land Penfeld. former ambassador of the
United States to Austria-Hungary. The
former ambassador in a statement is
sued for publication today declares his
unqualified belief that the change of
tone of Austrian newspapers and tho
consequent creation of a sentiment Of
hostility to the United States was a d.
rect result Of propaganda directed from
Berlin. and that it was not due in any
measure to the Austrians, Hungarians
or Bohemians themselves.
'The hellish machine directed from
Berlin and Potsdam.' former Ambassa-
dor Penfield said in his statement, cor
rupted treacherous opportunfsts in Rus
sia. and there are evidences everywhere
of the mischievous work to further the
Prussian determination to impose its
military will upon the world.
1t was to me early apparent that Sc
cret cog in this machine was adjusted
to alter by degrees the friendliness OF
the subjects of Francis Joseph to a
feeling. first. of disapproval, and then
of boundless hatred for America"

Penf1eld says. "all remaining restraint
in the matter of abuse of America was
thrown to the winds. Hosts of the best
people of the capital deplored the hor-
ror, some going SO far as to call the

Austrian government believed the de-

In his statement Mr.. Penfield relates
his unremitting efforts to impress on
the members of the embassy staff the
necessity for maintaining absolute
