German View of War From Staats Zeitung New York
Staats Zeitung prints German response to British anti Germany propaganda. It cites German naval officers denying the toast Auf den Tag and calls the British label an invention and a calumny. Statements from Prince Henry Tirpitz Knorr and Baudis at length deny any such toast or belief in it. The piece argues neutral nations should see the myth as British fear and falsehood.
