Show NEW ATLANTIC CABLE. Will Run Direct From Germany to United States. London, Jan. 24. The Berlin correspondent corre-spondent of the Daily News says: A joint stock companv has been formed at Cologne, with a capital of 500,000, to lay a cable direct from Germany to the L'nited States. At the same time Wolf's telelegraph agency decided to establish a branch olllce in New York City. Evidently the "yellow press" campaign against Germany, which has caused great embitterment on both sides, has induced the German government gov-ernment to favor this project, by which it is hoped to exercise, a direct influence upon the public opinion in the United States. |
