An Admiral Of the Navy speak
ing the other noon before one of

able statement, as follows, "At the
time our fleet was before Manila
an Admiral of the German fleet
told Admiral Dewy that in fifteen
years from that date the Ger
mans would start another war.
And that in three weeks they
would occupy Paris, and after sub
iucating the French they would
conquer the British.
Following in that they would IN
wade the United States and after
taking New York and Washing
ton they would levy a heavy
sum Of money on the Nation.
The German Admiral also stat
led that they had no intention OF
keeping the United States, but
Just to teach us lesson and so
to speak put US in our place.
This is a record in our govern
ment archives. 1t was an ambiti-
Gus prgram but had it materilized
they might have bitten off more
than they could have chewed.
This in itself is evidence as to
who started the war, but we must
not hold a GRIEVANCE against the
common people Of Germany, who
Were misled by years of propagan-
da TO key them up to the crucial
point Of action that eliminated in
the World War.
Meanwhile the arch instigator,
