sen Zeitung, Berlln’e leading financial
organ, seizes upon' the' dinner given
to Ambassador Gerard by the Anne-ri-
can Association of Commerce and
Trade as an opportunity to discuss
pence'-again. If declares -that the- ban-
quet had ulxusuail importance at the
pressed almost enthusiasm at the'
cordial relations existing between the
United States and Germany as it
finds them in' the expressions of the
speakers.
The Saturday evening papers- de.
clare that Germany will welcome
every support America may lend to
the peace movement, "so long as it
does not attempt to narrow or foil
the acquisition of a peace worthy of
Germany and the efforts of her fight-
ers."
lu its comment on this dinner the
Bocrsen Zeitung says that it is nat-
ural that Germany now looks differ-~
ently upon an America “which has
recovered from what may be termed
its carduse over its rich war gains,
than on an Aimerlca which Germany
Vllinly tried to arouse to a sympa-
thetic understanding on her situa-
tion.”
The papel' warns Americans how-
ever, that the'y must not expect the
German people- to be deeply grateful
for peace' efforts which. it says, are ac-
tually inspired by_Am‘erica’s own de-
sires and needs for peace."_

its delivery is about to be made at

As now finally t`ralned, the reply is
