CHICAGO, August 24.—The Chicago Herald this morning i
publishes a story, which lias created a profound sensation, de- |
daring that Admiral von Tirpitz, former commander of the E
German high seas fleet, luis issued a manifesto urging that Ger- =
many make war against the l nited States. The admiral de- |
dares that the United States is hostile toward Germany, de- |
spite its professed neutrality. ITe eifes the instance of the t
American attitude toward the German submarine warfare.
The Herald declares that copies of this manifesto are in jt
the hands of the American state department and says its in- |
formation comes from undoubted authority.
