AN UNWARRANTED DECEPTION |
In a phamplet printed in Berlin in
the English language by the "Bureau
lies Dutsehen Handelstages" or Bur
eau of German Commercial Exposi
tions and endorsed by the seal of the
Board of Trade of the E)uehy of
Brunswick and which is dated Berlin,
Nov. 12, 1914, it is claimed that in
establishing the blockade of the Ger
man coast, England was not intending
to injure the German nation so much
by the stoppage of supplies as it was
the Intention of that country to bring
about the ruin of Germany at the ex
pense of the neutral nations which
were ostensibly under English protec
tion The patnplet claims that this
was to he brought about not through
shutting off supplies to Germany but
"by preventing the transportation of
German productions on neutral ships.” i
Tlie article in this regard reads as
follows: “The English regulations
concerning contraband were intended
to injure German commerce through
neutral countries, by preventing the
transportation of German productions
on neutral ships " Thus it was seem
ingly not an attempt to starve the non
combatant population, but was rather
an attempt to prevent Germany from
profiting by the transportation of her
products to neutral countries. In
other words Germany was to he injur
ed not bv what couldn't get into Ger
many but hy preventing what Ger
many had produced from getting out
and reaching a market.
Now this lends an entirely new as
pect to affairs Here we have been
iobaring under the illusion that Eng
land with her customary callous cold
heartedness was trying to starve the
German people, when all the time she
was simply trying to choke off the
transportation and sale of German
products and. in order to bring about
this sinister result, compelled the ves
sels uf neutral nations to enter British
ports to be searched for contraband of
war thereby placing great restrictions
on the commerce of neutrals much to
their dettiment and disadvantage. Now,
‘this is a pretty state of affairs, and a
ftirther example of that perfidy of
England of which ivp have heard so
much. And. mind you, all the while
w* have been led by the plausable
sophistries of that “perfidious Albion”
into believing that England’s demand
that the commerce of neutrtJs enter
British ports to be searched, was for
I the purpose of preventing things that
might be of use to Germany in a war
like way from reaching their destina
tion. While this illuminating expose
I of the real methods by which Britain
has Imposed on the credulity of the
world will, no doubt, be sufficiently
startling to make us feel a thrill of
horror at Britain's shocking duplicity,
we will surely feel still further grieved
to hear that this conscienceless coun
try has been making use of the neu
tral nations, and incidentally ourselves,
In other underhanded and obscure
ways for we read: "The activity of the
German fleet, particularly the submar
ines. was a great menace to the British
fleet Therefore. England required all
* neutral ships, in the supposed interest
* of their own safety, to run fnto the
* harbors of Falmouth, I.ough Swllly and
Kirkwall, there to he searched for
contraband. In other words Englnnd
( commanded all neutral countries to
protect the British fleet.” Now the.e
you are again. “Perfidious Athlon." In
| deed! Here is Indeed absolute proof
that Rrltain has been loading us up
with nice smooth talk all for the pur
pose of using us to protect her own
interests and preserve that precious
fleet which she has all along been tell -
' ins ns could lick the everlasting stuff
' ins out of anything that roamed the
bloomin’ seas' Truly we are a gutll
nble people to stand for all that absurd
British gammon while she demands
that our ships enter her ports without
iter having to go out after them simply
’ because she is afraid that if she should
venture outside the safety of her har
bors the active German fleet, "and
particularly the submarines." will get
, them'
f It is clear as can be when one un
derstands just how ahe works it. if
she doesn't have to go out after the
commerce of neutrals hut can persuade
jthem to enter her ports by themselves
she thus avoids any risk to her over
rated warships and at the same time
dominates the ocean traffic of all na
' lions and also prevents Germany from
1 "transporting" her "productions on
lioutra! ships." Now of course this is
a matter that the I'nlted States should
bv all means look into. We have no
recourse, to he sure, but it is time that
We did something to enlighten the
British to the fact that we are “onto"
them at last. With the information
spread before us in this Illuminating
little pamphlet we can see most clearly
that England has heen imposing on us
oil the time in the most shameless
manner. Not only does she deceive us
into believing that she is trying to
starve Germany out as a measure of
war when in reality she Is trying to
stop us from getting the many German
products that »« so much desire and
which Germany is anxious to send to
us because she. like everyone else, no
doubt needs the money, but she also
bluffs us into sending our ships into
British ports in order to save them
from the Germany fleet and so forces
us to stand between herself and danger
all of which we should by no means
stand for if we are to preserve our
dignity nnd self respect as a people and
a nation. Such shameless conduct on
the part of England is a matter that
we should by no means overlook in any
•vent What’s the use of protesting on
every possible occasion and overlook
a wilful abuse of our friendship
through this deep deception on the
Part of Britain, especially when she
tries to make us believe that she is
acting in the interest of neutral na
tions when she tells us to come into
Port and let her search us at her
leisure The German statement also
tells us that Britain is incapable of
blockading the German ports on the
North and Baltic seas and what the
English blockade of the German ports
really consists of "is nothing more or
less than a blockade of the entire At
lantic Ocean in order to paralize the
navigation of all neutral states in
America and Europe."
it is further stated that America
should by no means allow the shame
less British deceivers to blockade New
York harbor with her ships and so
control our traffic, and by jingo! she
Is right. We have been imposed on
long enough and it Is truly time that
we should forever put an end to the
barefaced and lying Impositions of
Great Britain, who cannot be a friend
of either ourselves or other neutrals
or she wouldn’t treat us the way she
does. Such perfidy is beyond contem
plation nnd we should by all means let
her know at the first opportunity that
she can deceive us no more with her
Contemptible wiles for It Is plain that
her supposed blockade Is nothing but
a myth and that In her unwarranted
acts against neutral commerce she Is
not hurting Germany In the least and
it Is ourselves alone that are hurt by
her ruthless and high handed methods
That this Is so. Is explained In the
pamphlet which says: “A country j
which, like Germany, is economically j
Independent, cannot be injured by at-I
tempts at preventing others from doing
business. The neutrals have to bear
the brunt of the losses.” all of which
still further confirms our previous
opinion that we ought to do something'
or else quit our protesting altogether j

GERMANS
BOMBARD LIBAB
I'ETROGHAD, June 1. German na
val operations against the cities of the
Baltic provinces arc increasingly per
sistent. Many of the towns along the
extreme western const have been raid
ed by German destroyers' but the
enemy have generally been compelled
to retire after a short bombardment
because of the splendid defense of
fered by the Russian coastal forts and
coast defense submarines. Four Ger
man cruisers admittedly did much
damage at IJbau after an all night
bombardment which has set the city
on Arc In many places. All non-com
hatants have been ordered to leave
for the Interior In order to prevent un
necessary loss of life In case the enemy
surprlses any of the coast towns and
the only occupants are the defending
troops.
Announcements of the war authori
ties state that approximately fifty
thousand captured Austrian prisoners
have heen transported to the Siberian
prison camps within the past forty
flve days. T( is estimated that the var
ious prison camps now contain at least
a half million of the enemy.
