How the Germans regarded us In the period of the war with Spain is set j forth by Andrew D. White, ex-ambas sador to Germany, In his autobiogra- ; phy published by tlie Century com pany. j “On my settling down to the busi ness of the embassy (1897-1903),” he writes, “It appeared that the changes ; In public sentiment since my former stay as minister, 18 years before, were great Indeed. At that time German | feeling was decidedly friendly to the ^ United States. But all this was now changed. . . . During the Spanish , war It was especially virulent, their newspapers being full of statements and arguments to show that con-up- 1 tion was the main characteristic of our government, cowardice of our; army nud navy, and hypocrisy of our people. . . , Various newspapers In Germany charged our government with a wonderful assortment of high crimes and misdemeanors; but. hap pily, In their eagerness to cover us with obloquy, they frequently refuted! eacli other. “Thus they one day charged us vvlfli! having prepared long beforehand to crush Spain and to rob her of her West Indian possessions, and tlie next day they charged us with plunging Into war suddenly, recklessly, utterly care less of consequences. One moment they insisted that American sailors belonged to a deteriorated race of mongrels and could never stand against pure-blooded Spanish jailors; and the next moment, that we were crushing the noble navy of Spain by brute force. Various presses indulged In malignant prophecies; the Ameri cans would And Spain a very hard put to crack; Spanish soldiers would drive the American mongrels into the sea;| when Cervera got out his fleet the' American fleet would slink away; American ships, built under a regime of corruption, would be found fur-! nlshed with sham plating, sham guas ! and sham supplies of every sort. . .* J Against President McKinley every sort of iniquity was charged. One day he was an idiot; another day the most cunning of Intriguers; at one moment an overbearing tyrant anxious to rush into war; ut another a coward fearing war.” i BEDROOM FURNITURE IN BROWN MAHOGANY This beautiful and tasteful furniture which will grace the room and add to the comfort of its occupancy.
