GERMAN THREATS.

UNHEARD OF TERRORS PROMISED. LONDON. Feb. S. Router’s correspondent at Amsterdam says that German press comments unanimously single out Great Britain as the enemy, and promise unheard-of terrors, which will “mortally hit the Island people.” The Dusseldorf newspaper General Anzeiger expresses the opinion that the value of unrestricted submarining is problematical, because there will be fewer sailings. Germany's welfare is the most urgent law. Neutrals do not matter. The Rhenische West-fa lisclio Zcitung expects that Dr, Wilson will warn American vessels not to enter the war 1 zone in the North Sea and the Mediterranean, which will have a grave effect on British greatness. The Berlin, correspondent of the Cologne Gazette states: “Should America join the Allies our weapon will become sharper. Neutrals must now show their true colors.” Reuter’s eorerspondent at Amsterdam says that the Reichstag -is debating; the speech of Dr von Bethmann Hollweg at a secret session. An article setni-officially inspired m the Austrian newspaper Fremdenblatt expresses the hope that the peace for which the world is longing will be brought nearer by the employment of the strongest means against the tijant of the roes.
