I HATRED OF D. S. TO BE FOSTERED ENJOYING THE SEASON AT A FAMOUS WINTEE RESORT. Tomer Kaiser's Dentist De clares Teutons Will Pour Wrath on the United States. New York, March 1. "The German press is carefully and adroitly con tinuing to foster the idea among the '' German people that America is not ' , really in earnest about the war," de ' clared Dr. A. N. Davis yesterday In " discussing the situation in Berlin as he left it just over a month ago. Dr. Davis, formerly of Piqua, 0., is the American dentist who lived in the German capital for 15 years and num ' bered Emperor William among his patients. r "Every effort is Seing made to be , little America even the highest of ficials are attempting to convey the impression that Germany has little to tear from the United States. Prac V tically nothing is printed concerning ' America except the president's ad- dresses on war aims and the possible basis of a permanent peace. May Practice Atrocities. "Not until Germany begins to feel the military pressure of the United " States will the people realize the new conditions that confront them. Then, I predict, the fostered enmity toward " England will be nothing to the hatred that will be poured out by the ; inspired press against America, i 'The American business men who took advantage of the nine months' treaty between the United States and Germany to wind up business affairs as far as possible were kept under the closest surveillance by the police at - all times and were not permitted to v leave the city without special per s mits. To go to a race meeting ten ' miles out of Berlin it is necessary to f apply for a permit at least a month 'in advance. ; Criticism Means JaQ. "The thing that has impressed me most since my return to America is ' the freedom we accord to German ' subjects over here. It seems to me 9, as if no restrictions were placed upon them whatever. In Germany every " time, some new regulation was adopt ' ed regarding the Americans the ex- ' cuse was given that the United States ' was treating Germans harshly and there must be some retaliation. Vou ' can imagine my surprise to get home - and find German subjects free to travel about the country at will, just so they do not actually go within a ; given distance of certain establish- ments. I "The slightest little thing will re f. suit in a curtailment of an American's r privileges. A friend of mine criti cised mildly an article in a Berlin , paper. He thought only friends were about. Next day he was sent for, ad v monished and required to report to 'the police twice daily and to remain in his quarters from 8 o'clock in the evMiinor until 6 in the morning vir tual confinement The most privi- 1 leged Americans must report to the Berlin oolice twice weekly and have t their papers stamped. These papers .show just what the bearer of tnem is permitted to do, what hours he - 5 must keep and where he is permitted to go." .. .- f Postof f ice Appointments v And Army Officers Relieved s Washineton.

Discovery of a bomb in the federal building has fur nished a mystery on which a number of government agents are working today. ' 1 ' , The bomb was found partly hidden under a pile of rubbish in one of the rooms occupied by lawyers in charge of the Industrial . Workers of the world prosecution. The bomb was a heavy steel cvlin der 12 inches long and about two inches in diamefer. A long fuse in , one end had not been ignited. v- Experts of - a powder company found the cylinder contained a num ber of metal slugs and an explosive powden . v They gave it as their opinion that ,the bomb was made in Europe and said its explosion would have wrecked the entire wing or tne tcdcrai puuaing. Bituminous Coal Output ' Shows Marked Decrease Washington, Feb. 28. Because of the car shortage and railroad conges tion, bituminous coal production in Tanuanr and februarr was some 3,000,000 tons below that in the cor responding months of .1917, the Na tional Coal association announced to day. The total lost output for the two months, the statement said, is estimated at 31,000,000 tons and the suggestion is made that passenger traffic on the eastern roads be further . rednced so that empty coal cars may be moved back to the mines. . "The entire country is still face to face with a serious coal shortage," said the announcement, "even a slight cold snap is all that is necessary to bring about a repetition of the suffer mg caused oy tne snortage oi diiu minous coal in January.' .

(Br AuoeUted FrM.) Washington, March 1. Further tes timony against the National German American alliance, charted with be ing an unpatriotic organization, was given the senate judiciary investicat ing subcommittee today by Henry C Campbell, assistant editor of the Mil- wauke Journal, who said he had made an investigation of the workings of the alliance, and into the activities and private opinions of some of its officers. The witness spoke particularly of Dr. C J. Hexamer of Fhiladebhia. a former president of the alliance, whose name has been mentioned in previous testimony. Says Government Failure, i "Dr. Hexamer has publicly said a great deal about preserving liberty in the United States and of maintaining the right of individuals," Mr. Camp bell said. "Yet in the office of the United States district attorney in Erie, Pa., on March 23, 1916, in a friendly discussion of judicial and gov ernmental matters, Dr. Hexamer stated: "This form of government is .a failure and the only correct form of government is a constitutional mon archy.' "He also said the legal system of uermany- was better than that of this country and held up the laws of Ger many as a model. He added that there was much more liberty under laws of Germany than under the laws of this country." Mr. Campbell gave the committee the names of five persons who he said had heard Dr. .Hexamer's statement. One of them has been summoned to testify. Telling the committee he believed the German-American alliance to be "the greatest internal menace we have in this country today," the witness referred to messages sent to members of congress by the Ohio branch just before the United States entered the war and cited other incidents to indi cate the character of work carried on by the organization. Since the United States went to war, he said, the alliance has been passive aid he did not believe the rank and file of the membership was aware of the real purposes of its ex istence. In Wisconsin, Mr. Campbell de clared, the' alliance controlled the school board, which adopted a rule assuming that all school children were desirous of entering the German classes unless they specifically asked to be excused. He said before the po litical national conventions in 1906 the Wisconsin alliance sent printed lists of candidates for delegates to the con ventions and in an explanatory note said stars appearing before the names of some indicated that those candi dates "were in accord with the ideas of Deutschland and if elected will act accordingly." Store Open Saturday Until 9 P.M. Valii plendid SOCIAL WORK OF GIRLS IS HIT BYJVDGE (Br AiMelatod rrm.) Chicago, Feb. 28. Society girl graduates of "Schools of Philanthropy,'' who enter the field of social service were as - sailed today in the report of Judge John Stelk, of the domes tic relations court . In a bold commentary on birth control. Judge Stelk also proclaimed the right of the poor and overburdened mother to guard against "Another mouth to feed" by the possession of the same knowledge, "that is given out every day to her sisters in the higher walks of life." Many of the young women enlisted in social work, he said, were actuated only by morbid curiosity, and he urged the abolition of the present sys tems of organized charities in favor of a system under which all the needy would become the direct wards of the state.
