"Despite the ttcmendoutf dangers of Hie inoinem. thN matter should very soon play a ver great part In public discussion ' Thus says the Ixikal An--elRrr In inferring to Interesting revela tions made by the r'rankfurter Zeltung regarding America and introduction of the unrestricted f-boat war. The Infor mation comes from "a quarter having close relations with Ucthmann-ltoll-weg." The article outlines the course of events thus: "On the dny following President "All. son's inefsage to the Senate on januarj 1'. of last vear. tne fresiucnt caueu the German ambassador.

"Despite this mespage. the American Government replied to the unrestricled L"-boat war bj breaking off dlplomatjc relations " Such Is the gist of the Frankfurter Zeltung's statement, which is put for ward with the alni of disproving the chiirgH of duplicity brouKht against the German Government. It will have little success In that direction and It has raised a storm of Indignation from tho democratic, press. S'oyeral-papers .are calling for a parliamentary Mwulry. Vorwoerts Is'.c.xcerdlnHly angry that the' 'unrestricted t'-boat warfare was "Introduced right In the middle of a fresh peace move, which President Wil son was undertaking, despite his previ ous failures. It Is liercby clearly proved that It was nothing but the unrestricted C-boat war which brought America Into tho war against lis. The responsibility must In tho ilrst place be carried by the Pan-German agitators, but also by the weak government of Methmahn irollweg. which allowed Itself : against Its better judgment to be driven along by tho Jingoes." i The Uerliner Tageblatt, too, ruses against the senseless politicians nnd Journalists who stirred up a popular movement in favor of the U-boat war. and who, the moment there was any hint of WiUon endeavoring to bring about an end of the war, rouEed the country In a stormjvcapipalgn of piotcsts against 'a Wilson peace.
