"It is true," says Dr. Meyer-Gerhard, "that the American press, with some laudable exceptions, .especially the German-American papers,' have not succeeded in remaining neutral, but the Influence of the press upon- public opinion is sometimes greatly overesti mated. Doubtless large sections of the American people are friendly to^ ward Germany, whose .efficient organi zation is daily winning friends and arousing Interest in things German. "One excellent effect of the war is upon German-Americans, who,' with out sacrifice of their loyalty, to their adopted-country,- have, shown strong, remembrance of their descent, their, education and. their culture. Beside them, on the other side of the oceans there are wide circles who sympathise wlthGermany." Alluding to the discussion over the ammunition ,question, Dr. Meyer-Ger^ "Germans often mistake large am munition orders for filled orders. To a large extent-such.'orders are chang ing big factories into ammunition works. This is regrettable, but the writer is convinced thst large parts of the American people disapprove of it. A popular vote would show a considerable majority against the practice. "Germans' -must discriminate be tween business men accepting orders and the great mass of the American people.

There is no real reason for antagon ism existing between them."
