GERMAN PAPERS
TELL PEOPLE US.
NOT in EARNEST
Every Effort Made to Belittle
This Country, He
Declares

New York. March 1.-The German
press is carefully and adroitly con-
tinuing to foster the idea among the
German people that America is not
really IN earnest about the war" de-
clared Dr.. A. n. Davis in discussing
the situation in Berlin as he left it
a month ago. pr. Davis, formerly of
Flqua, o., is the American dentist
who lived in the German capital for
fifteen years and numbered Emperor
William among his patients.
Every effort is being made to be-
little America-eyen the highest of
hcials are attempting to convey the
impression that Germany has little
to fear from the United States" Dr.
Davis continued: VIRTUALLY nothing
is printed concerning America except
the Presldents addresses on war
aims and the possible basis of a per-
manent peace. Even these are treat
ed by the papers as if the President
were speaking as sort of detached
person whose interest was the well
rare or the world not with the idea
they represent the earnest determi-
nation of the American people to see
lhe war through to successful end.
Americans Closely Watched
MOI until Germany begins to feel
the, military pressure of the United
states VIII the people realize the
rev conditions that confront them.
Then, l predict. the fostered enmity
toward England will be as nothing
to the hatred that will be poured out
by the inspired press against Amer
lea.
THE American businessmen 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
at all times and were not permitted
to leave the city without special per.
mits. To go to race meeting ter
miles out of Berlin it is necessary
to apply for a permit at least &
month in advance.
"The thing that has impressed mt
most since my return to America /!
the freedom we accord to German
subjects over here. 1t seems to m,
as if no restrictions are placed upor
them whatever. In Germany every
time some new regulation was adopt
ed regarding the Americans the ex
cuse was given that the United
States was treating Germans harshl,
and there must be some retaliation
Germany Restricts Own People
You can imagine my surprise t.
get home and find German subject
free to travel about the country a
will, just so they do not actually e,
within a given distance of certain
establishments.
And this, too, in the face of tn
fact that not since the war startet
has a single overt act been charge,
against an American in Germany
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-03-01

whereas here in the United States
we have had to put up with all sorts
of admitted crimes by German resi-
dents 1 have inquired regarding
this leniency toward Germans in the
United States and have been told the
country is too big and there are too
many Germans here to make it, feas-
ible to adopt the restrictive measures
in force in Germany.
II can assure you the. German gov
ernment would not be deferred by
the size of the task. The German
people themselves are restricted in
their movements, and no person is
allowed to travel without a special
identification pass, which may be de-
manded as many as five times during
a short journey"

of Thomasville, has discovered a
"wheatiess flour" for which he has

pearance of wheat flour. with a
light, creamy tint. Mr.. Crawford
states that it makes fine biscuits,
cakes and other like food, and those

Why did Andrew Kreinewski stand
for three hours behind a desk in the
offices of the exemption board?
IRE reason Andrew Kreinewski
stood for three. hours behind a desk
is because while he was being eX-
amined some one stole his pants.
