Exponent of Hollwog's Poli

Checks Reaction Ammuni-

Rejoinder to U. S.
By CARL W. ACKERMAN
BERLIN. Juno X.
A strong editorial In tho Berliner Togo
blatt, a powerful exponent of tho German
Chancellor policies, waB expected today
to havo a most Importnnt Influence on the
Germnn-Amerlcan situation.
Tho Tngoblntt In thq first comprehensive
survoy 'ofMlio misunderstanding growing
out of tho sinking of tha Lusltnnla, ap
pealed to tho people both of Germany and
of America to view the situation sanely
ami not to bo misled by "Jingoes."
The. editorial, -It was the opinion, hero
today, will go a long way toward cnock
Ing n reaction which Is expected beforo
the next German reply Is sent to Wash
Infcton, "AMERICA MISINFORMED."
"Tho newspapers of America and Ger
many should employ to tho best advan
tage an exchange of notes clearing up the
earlier misunderstanding which Influenced
tho recent sentiment," said the Tagcblatt.
"It Is evident that America was badly
misinformed about Germany's attitude, as
Germany was about America's.
"It must not bo overlooked that mes
sages which have reached America that
Germany was Indifferent to tho possibili
ties of war with tho United States caused
an extremely bad feeling there. These
statements wero founded on silly and Irri
tating utterancrs which found no support
si,SJii'iS!i fSfffrefniffflrMff!MtH
"Tho statement was oven mnde that
Germany was willing to draw America
Into tho war. The German people and
tho German Government cannot too em
phatically nssert their earnest deslro to
maintain relations of tho utmost friendli
ness with tho United States through all
honorable means.
"Tho Gorman cause In America also'
has suffered by tho fact that tho utter
ances of German-American citizens In ths
United States against tho American Gov
ernment havo been falsely alleged to havo
been Inspired by tho Imperial Go-crn-ment,
Nothing Is further from the Ger
man mind. The small representation of
Germans In tho American Government
may bo considered another factor con
tributing to th'o misinterpretation of Ger
man sentiment In America.
AMMUNITION PROBLEM CRUX
"Tho present relations between the
two countries aro not so bad, and with
mutual efforts the situation may bo
clenred up and nn understanding ar
