GERMANS ANGRY; THINK
AMERICA IS AIDING ALLIES
liEKl-JN, via The Hague.—German\
.s 1 ecoming wrought up over what it
be', ves to lie an anti-German attitude
of the people of the I’nited States.
The resentment lias erystalzed sud
denly about the semi-ottieial note ol
protest against the sale of munitions
of war to the allies by American manu
facturers published in the North Ger
man Gazette. Persons in high positions
have expressed themselves in terms ol
most bitter indignation at the alleged
display of friendliness for the allies by
Americans.
German newspapers for the first time
today gave public voice to this rising
feeling of resentment. The North Ger
man Gazette is generally recognized us
the organ of the German government.
The protest lodged in the note publish
ed in its columns and the open charge
that America is violating the spirit, if
rot the letter, of neutrality, by selling
inis and ammunition to Germany’s
enemies, met with the unanimous ap
proval of the German papers.
The radical newspapers took advan
tage of this publication to launch caus
tie attacks upon America's position In
the Buropean controversy. One paper
• failed the attention of its readers to the
! fact that Secretary of State Bryan’s
son-in-law is a colonel in the British
army and hinted that this fact might
jhave something to do with the refusal
j of the American government to put a
ban on the exportation "farms to Rng
t land and France.
Others called the purchase of war
munitions in America by allies a clever
scheme by which Germany's foes act
ually subsidized America.
I "Once Germany is convinced that
America is determined to continue sup
porting the allies against Germany, that
knowledge will leave deep traces, the
importance of which America can hard
ly afford to disregard," said one of the
radical organs
The Berliner Tageblattfg, adopting a
more conservative tone, warns America
that her reputation in affairs of politi
cal morals “is at stake for all future,"
and characterizes the seml-olfhal nob
as an appeal to America's sense of fair
play.
| l! is the belief of Americans here
| that tlie growth of this anti-American
, feeling in Germany at this tine- is dm
largely to the fact that the German
I press is dependent upon the London
newspapers for American news Lon
don newspapers naturally lose no op
portunities for calling to the attention
of tlie English public tiny alleged dis
play of friendliness by Americans to
ward the cause of the allies. Thes>
London reports, reprinted in Berlin
arouse ill feeling among the Germans
The seml-nffical statement published
in the North German Gazette pointed
"tit that while Germany could not pro
test that the sale by Americans of arms
and ammunition to the allies was a
violation of the principle of internat
ional law. "yet the trade in war ma
terial with England and Prance has as
sumed such dimensions as to jeopardize
tlie neutrality not only of the American
government but, indeed, of the Ameri
can nation.”

VESSEL BEING CONSTRUCTED
FOR KUSKOKWIM ROUTE
A letter just received from Duke 10.
Stubbs from a steamboat man now in
Seattle gives tin- information that the
Header Hrothers, the vessel which lias
been on the Seuttlc-Hethel run. has
made her last trip to the Koskokwitn,
and incloses a newspaper clipping re
garding the new steam schooner which
is being built for that run. It is as*
follows;
"Conctruction of a three-mast
schooner, costing $50,000, and especially
designated to meet the requirements of
tlie Seuttle-Kuskokwiin rivr route, was
definitely decided on recently by Capt.
t twar .1. Humphrey of Seattle and as
sociates. Xj. K. Geary, naval architect,
will draw the plans for the vessel,
which will be ready to depart from
Seattle May 15 on tier first voyage to
the North. Accommodations will be|
provided for forty first-class passengers!
while the cargo capacity will total 000
tons dead weight. She will make three
or four voyages between Seattle and
th Kuskokwim each season.
"The schooner will have a length of
HO feet and a beam of SOfeet. Iter
driMt will bo exceptionally shallow be
cause of the conditions that prevail in
the Koskokwitn district. The river and
the delta at its mouth are very shallow,
and it is a foregone conclusion that
the vessel will ground occasionally.
The shallow draft will offset Ibis pos
sibility to a large extent. At the same
time the plans call for the construction
of a vessel of powerful build, so that
she will run no risks of damage when
she touches bottom.
“As indicated, the schooner will en
gage in the passenger and freight ser
vice between Seattle and the Kuskok
wim. She will he equipped with engines
powerful enough to give her a speed
of nine knots, and in addition will have
a fairly large sail spread.
Humphrey and his associates have
had long experience in Alaska trans
portation and trading, and are well
qualified for making a. complete suc
cess of the venture. Trade r lations
between Seattle and the Kttsknkwimj
district hav shown a substantial devel-j
oiuncnt in recent years, and local met - !
fhants now have a good market there, j
