Count Reventlow, who is Admiral von Tirpitz's mouthpiece, writing in the Tages Zeitung, war-is German not to stop her anti-British hatred. Germany cannot accept the position of ruling the world alongside Britain, therefore she must break the strength of the island. Those refusing to hate England must he regarded with feelings of contempt and disgust. No other course is possible for true Germans. Encouraged by the reappearance of the Tages Zeitung, the Kreuz Zeitung vehemently insists that Germany must not recede from her standpoint in regard to submarine warfare. It would be pitiable pusillanimity, it asserts, even to consider the possibility of agreeing to America's demands on condition that the United States induces Britain to raise the blockade, as Britain's starvation plan has failed.
