GERMAN EXPERT ON AMERICA

Herr Georg Barthelme, the former Washington correspondent of the "Cologne Gazette," who achieved a certain notoriety by hi' efforts to continue German diplomacy in America after the dismissal of Count Bemstorff, delivered a lecture recently in Cologne. It must have been an interesting lecture, to. judge by the following comment' in the "Cologne Gazette" :—

Herr Barthelme described to us how the sonsationnl-loving, and in many things childish, American people—which, although, according to the greatest part of its blood it ought to have stood by us, sees everything through British spectacles, and Bucks in the British spirit through the same mother tongjie-was systematically pushed into the war by the exclusively British domination of foreign policy. Wo saw cieariy the motive power in this unspeakably frivolous agitation—the disastrous activity of the Press, which wo were too sleepy or too honest to buy in due time (sic), the pressure of the dollar magnates who are bouud to England for 'better or worse, and finally that oily and hypocritical apostlo of international law, the "supermoralist" Woodiw Wilson, whose utter lack of truth was illustrated for us by unanswerable judgments from tho mouths of distinguished Americans. Herr Barthelmo also gave us a picture of tho way in which America is now conducting this frivolous war with ex port knowledge of which this utterly unmilitary oeople is capable. Everybody who heard him is convinced tLut Herr Barthelme is right in his conolusion; Wilson will bo the cheater chentcd.
