COUNT REVENTLOW’S OPINION.

A WARNING TO AMERICA.

(Received 9.5 a.m.) London, February 14

Apropos of the spirit with which Germany is likely to receive ithe Note, the Daily Mail prints the latest utterance of Count Reventlow as a contrast to the opinion of numerous Germans who maintain an inexplicable optimsim about America. The Count stated: “We always expected American protests and outbursts, and we must expect even more vehement and threatening outbursts. The United States should clearly understand that their indignities and threats are a waste of words. Bismarck once said that an appeal to fear finds no echo in the German heart. Least of all, is the case now, when military, political, and economic results and actions are being weighed and the die cast. The American press is apparently inquiring if Germany wants more enemies, and I desire to call the attention of the American Press to the fact that this tone is entirely out of place in dealing with the German people. I can imagine that this is not a threat, but it is in a measure the part the United tSates is capable of taking to intimidate Germany and persuade her to abandon or to modify the war against British trade off the BritishTrish coast.
