“ALL ENGLAN D’S FAULT.’

GERMAN SHIPBUILDER IN A DESPAIRING MOOD. HAMBURG, June 27. “There is no future for Ge:-111-Quiy.’ "This declaration was made by Herr Wallwicz, director of the Vulcan shipyards, in answer to my question regarding Germanq’s future, following the signing of the Peace Treaty. “We are dumbfounded over the terms that We have not been able tr: make any plans,” he said, “and such provisional orders as we had have been withdrawn by the shipowners, who are afraid that the -high cost or materials and wages will render pros~ parity impossible. We have no single new ship in the docks, and The only work being done is to repair those ships that the Entente is still waiting for, Unless we get raw mat_erials on credit and foreign loans, there is not the slightest chance of Germany ever boing able to pay her way.”

Herr W-allwicz, shaking" with anger, buttcnholed mo, and shouted at the top of his voice: “It."s- all Eng]and’s work. Clemenceau, who is the cleverost of the Big Four, only wanted to ruin eGrmali militarily, but England, in cold. blood, has ruined and still wants "to strangle Gemrany economically. As to Wilson, he is either the greatest crook Or a nachtwachter" (night_ watchman).
