GERMAN-AMERICANS DISAPPOINT
FATHERLAND, SAY NEWSPAPERS
Teuton Press Says Their Attitude Has Been Weak and
Cowardly, Aiding Allies for Personal
Reasons
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copvrlqht, t)tt, bu .Veio Verfe rimes Co.
The Hague, June 8.
Oerman-Amerlcans are the objects of
tcorn and, derision and a source of much
disappointment expressed In the Ger
man press. v
The. Lokat-An2elger. commenting on
the dissolution ot theGer'ma'n-Amerlcan
Alliance, saya It is not surpriong to peo
ple wno snow tins race, and that after
the rupture wth Germany no one ex
paeted the members to take Germany's
side, but It might have been expected
thatbefore the breaking off of relations
they would have taken a more active
part in expressing sympathy with their
cornier ratneriana. The paper asserts
that the'li1 attitude 1ms been weak and
cowardly from the 'beginning In com
parison with that of the English, French
and Italians, and that'the German
Americans had contented themselves
wMth a comfcTtable, smug neutrality in
spite of their number, and men, Went
ov'er to the Allies last spring for rea
sons of personal Interest,
The paper remarks that in peace time
the Germans expected much from German-Americans,
but that this optimism
was based on German naive sentimental-
Ism concerning foreign pollcv. It com
ments sarcastically on tho many ban
quets held and mi the "hot air" about
loyalty ln the German press of America,
and points out that In many German
societies only Kngllsh Is spoken, as also
In German restaurants, since the people
are afraid to speak German.
Towordlce, Says Tageblatt
The Lokal-Anzeiger says it is little
wonder that these people are subjects
for wit and humor ln the American
cc-mlc papers, where It asserfs they
constantly figure.
The Tageblatt speaks of the "cow
ardice" of the German-Americans, and
quotes the New York Times of April 13
as stating that the German-American
Alliance wan dissolved In Philadelphia,
April 12, the funds being given to the
American Red Cross. The paper says
that this only shows Wilson's craze to
wipe out everything, German, and that
the Irish League is .undissolved, "and
they call this a fight fcT freedom."
The German press continues to make
propaganda out of the. treatment of neu
trals by "tartufe Wilson, the man of
big principles and little artifices.
America's dictator," as the Cologne
Gazette designates the President The
paper suggests that he reread his former
notes to neutrals after his recent treat
ment of Holland and Norway, but re
marks that he has wrltetn so much that
doubtless he no longer recollects what
he has said about neutrals It quotes
the Lusltanla note of 1915, and calls the
President the "humanity professor."
Calls America Tyrannies!
One object of the publications Is to
impress neutrals that America Is tyran
nical before bringing pressure to bear,
especially in the case of Holland, with""
which economic negotiations are still
pending. A condition which Germany
has forced on Holland Is the absolute
control of passenger lists for Dutch
CZECHS STRUCK DOWN
BY AUSTRIAN POLICE
Treatment at National Cele
bration at Prague described
as Ferocious
By JULIUS WEST
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Covvrloht, 19tt, bv New York Times Co,
Berne, June 8.
The Democrat, a dally paper published
at Delemont, contains what It sas is
the first coherent account yet published
of the national Czech celebrations which
took place at Prague on May 16. The
town was packed that day, not only
with Czechs, but with Innumerable dele
gations from other separate nationali
ties, including many of their principal
leaders. The Italian speakers received
an especially tumultuous welcome, owing
to tho recently concluded Italo-SIav
agreement, but what happened after
ward Is still doubtful, especially as re
gards numbers. The Austrian authori
ties attempted to disperse the demon
strators and arrested a number, officially
given as thirty-six, but this Is said to be
a ridiculous underestimate.
It appears that fighting between the
soldiers and police en one side and the
demonstrators on the other lasted sev
eral hours, and that other outbreaks oc
curred on the following days, when the
police found the walls decorated1 with
such inscriptions as "Hurrah for the
Entente" and "Long live Wilson.'
To. restore tranquillity the police have
Issued an order forbidding the Inhabi
tants to be out after 9 o'clock In the
evening, while all public places must
close not later than 8 o'clock,
"News from private sources allows us
to fill in the gaps in the Austro-German
press. The action of the police was not
directly provoked by the population, and
Is only explicable on the theory that it
took place in obedience to orders. It
was frightfully ferocious and claimed
thousands ot victims. The police agents
were not content with scattering the

were over sixty. Some, were destitute
Belgian refugees and Ave were Amer
ican children who had been at a con
vent school In Holland since the begin
ning of the war.
The article on the construction of
merchandise ships for use after the war
makes a condition that the Dutch shsll
hulld one German ship for every Dutch
ship built In return for material for the
ships. This does not meet opposition In
Holland, as it Is held to be In the In
terest of both nations
The Vosslsche Zeltung asserts that
Washington Is preoccupied with the
breaking off of diplomatic relations by
Cuba and Mexico, and that in reality
this demonstration by Osrranza Is di
rected against the Anflrlean Govern
ment. "
The paper says that the Cuba repre
sentative in Washington does not con
sider relations ruptured, but the Amer
ican political circles disregard this view.
It alleges that the commercial freedom
of Cuba is an American fiction, that
all Cuban measures against Mexico are
decided on In Washington and that the
American press Is now endeavoring to
prove that this Is a German Intrigue.
As your correspondent has already
pointed out, Germany Is counting on a
liberal exchange with Mexico Imme
diately after the war and Intends to
use Mexico as a dumping ground for
manufactured goods, hoping to receive
raw materials and foodstuffs In return,
charges 'Films Are "Faked"
The Vosaische-Zeltung also sa)s that
President Wilson has ordered a dim
representing Belgian atrocities ln order
to Incite a warlike spirit, and that the
pictures are designed and acted by
Americans, being a pure Invention.
The Wesser Zeltung comments on the
conference of American labor leaders
with French Socialists, saying that these
"full-blooded patriots were doubtless
chosen In the hope of convincing France,
according to the Wllsonian recipe, of
the high cultural mission of the Amer
ican people to shatter Germany" The
paper says that strange things hap
pened In Paris, and that the delegates
were monopolized by the French paci
fists, and remarks that It must have
been a hard blow for the wire-pullers
trying to arrange a brotherly meeting.
It suggests that probably the Amer
icans' lack of knowledge ot the French
language contributed to the confusion
and that, many speeches In French were
translated Into English and vice versa.
The paper saya that only when the
Americans were packing their' trunks
did the French Socialists ha've an oppor
tunity of conferring with them, but even
then the "Tower of Babel" prevented
any understanding between the French
and Americans.
The Zeltung draws satisfaction from
the assumption that the visit of the
American labor leaders failed In its
aim and that "the honorable patriots
who were supposed to Instill a warlike
spirit Into the Frencn Socialists became
disciples of peace by agreement." The
paper alleges that the Americans were
misted about the war and that the pad
fists told them the true state of affairs.

OF MINOR FIGHTS
Local Operations Nearly
Everywhere Result in '
Defeat of Enemy
FRONT IS MORE STORMY
No Sign Yet Found of Gen
eral Renewal of Offensive
by Germans
By G. H. PERRIS
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger"
CoptWpM, tit, bu Ktw York Timet Co.
With the Fr.nelt Armies, June I.
The front has become a little more
stormy since Wednesday, but there .in
as yet no sign of a general renews of
the German offensive and the local sc
tlone that have taken place present no
very exceptional feature.
Whether they be French. British or
American contingents, the Allied troops
seem to have had ttht best ot these
local operations.
To the south of the loop of the Olse.
between Gemplgny and Pontolse, a Ger
man sttempt to cross the river was
stopped, 100 prisoners being taken. Be
tween Moultn-Sous-Touvent and the
Alsne the French positions have been
Improved at several points.
The enemy has got Into the edge of
the Forest of Vlllers-Cotterets, vvest ot
Longpont, but is stopped at La Grille
farm.
Two Regiments Held Rack
Further south two regiments of the
Prussian Guard, the First and Second,
have been trying for four dajs without
success to capture the village and
promontory of Troesnes, at the con
fluence of the Oureq and the Sitvleres.
The First Guard Iteglment did take a
hill south of the village, but was driven
from It with heavy losses by a French
counter-attack.
Between this point and Chateau
Thierry, a French regiment and an
American battalion attacked early in
the morning from near Gandell to near
BourascheB, on a front of five mil's,
advancing the Allied line over half a
mile, and took 274 prisoners, Including
ten oftlcers.
The boche has been at his latest game
of what the French call Infiltration.
The dense, rigid waves of assault which
were the familiar and costly German
method ot attack seem to have been
abandoned In favor of widely deployed
lines, which must make progress as far
and rapidly as possible, leaving It to
their supports to reduce the groups that
continue to resist.
The enemy thus pushed south of the
villages of Cltgnon, Veullly, Gahdelu,
Busslares and Belleau, feeling his way
along the lines of least resistance and
hoping to consolidate his gains after
ward. Given the advantage of surprise
anc) superior numbers of men and guns,
this method Ms economical and may b
effective; but It Is useless en equal
terms against French soldiers.
true Many Machine Oont
Thursday the German artillery fire
was feeble. On the other hand, the
Allied advance to the edge of the vil
lages named encountered 'many machine
guns. South of'Bellcau, the Americans,
being temporarily checked by these ob
stacles, sent out a patrol, by which
some German gunners were killed and
one captured.
On the road from VIHe-en-Tardenols
to Ilhelms several attacks' were made on
French and British positions east of the
former town. but. except the hamlet of
Bllgny, all the ground lost was quickly
regained.
A broad hill west of Chateau-Thierry,
dominating the town and river from 4 SO
feet above, was captured by the French
early yesterday morning.
From here northwestward to Gandelu.
In the Cllgnon Valley, the Franco-American
line has been slightly advanced. On
the Tthelma side the British are again In
Bllgny.
