3. Public feeling generally was so aroused that the official _North German Gazette_ said at the end of a long editorial that the Kaiser favoured a "people's kingdom of Hohenzollern." The ammunition interests were among the first to express their satisfaction with America as an enemy. The _Rheinische Westfaelische Zeitung_, their official graphophone, said: "The real policy of America is now fully disclosed by the outbreak of the war. Now a flood of lies and insults, clothed in pious phraseology, will descend on us. This is a surprise only to those who have been reluctant to admit that America was our enemy from the beginning. The voice of America does not sound differently from that of any other enemy. They are all tarred with the same brush--those humanitarians and democrats who hurl the world into war and refuse peace." The _Lokal Anzeiger_, which is practically edited by the Foreign Office, said President Wilson's attempt to inveigle the German people into a revolt against the dynasty beats anything for sheer hypocrisy in the records of the world. "We must assume that President Wilson deliberately tells an untruth. Not the German Government but the German race, hates this Anglo-Saxon fanatic, who has stirred into flame the consuming hatred in America while prating friendship and sympathy for the German people." The _Lokal Anzeiger_ was right when it said the German people hated America. The _Lokal Anzeiger_ was one of the means the Government used to make the German people hate the United States. The _North German Gazette_, which prints only editorials dictated, or authorised by, the Secretary of State, said: "A certain phrase in President Wilson's speech must be especially pointed out. The President represents himself as the bearer of true freedom to our people who are engaged in a severe struggle for their existence and liberty. What slave soul does he believe exists in the German people when it thinks that it will allow its freedom to be meted out to them from without? The freedom which our enemies have in store for us we know sufficiently. "The German people, become clearsighted in war, and see in President Wilson's word nothing but an attempt to loosen the bonds between the people and princes of Germany so that we may become an easier prey for our enemies. We ourselves know that an important task remains to us to consolidate our external power and our freedom at home."
