GERMANS EXPECT WAR
A Cunning Suggestion.
(United Service, Copyright.)
Rotterdam, Feb 8
The authorities at Berlin regard the United States seizure of ships aa practically an act of war. German newspapers, including the Hemi-official Frankfort Gszette, prepare the public for war against America, which is regarded as certain. They nrge Americans to remain in Germany promising they will not be molested, if United States does not molest German Americans.
Germany is thus seeking a free hand for plotterp and spies. Tbe newspapers publish an efficLlly syndicated, anonymous article by a leading Socialist, Btating the sight of troops of German children going to school is sufficient to show what Germany is suffering. They are irreparably injured and condemned to frailty and tuberculosis by the English blockade.
