THE RATION MOURNS AND IN-'

DIGNAfION CROWS.

MESSAGES FROM AMERICA.

New York, 'September JO.

'.' from Germany state that all Germany is in deepest mourning. The only news published consists of enormous lists of casualties. A sentiment abroad is that the great military staff has been badly deceived. Indignation among the masses is growing daily, and nothing but a titanic victory can restore public confidence and rehabilitate' the reputation of the Kaiser's military and political advisers. The country recognises thafc the Kaiser's invasion plans have been badly muddled, and that the raoidity of the Russian advance and the efficiency of the British fleet in destroying German trade were ignored. The newspapers were forbidden to mention the catalysis of German industries, or the successes of the Allies. The Kaiser is described as looking worn and haggard with the great disappointment. Practical war tests show that the possibilities of the Zeopv'.Ms as a destructive force were greatly exaggerated by the clique which profited by their construction. Many Germans believed that the United States won id scii-.o Canada, and also that Japan would side with Germany. OTHER SHORTAGES. London, September 10.
