, Berlin, Aug. 16.-Mr. Andrew D. White the United States ambassador, made the following statement to the Associated Press representative:
 ''So far as I can see, the state of things between Germany and the United States remains satisfactory. Throughout the war the German government has treated us fairly and, so far from seeing any cause for complaint on part, it seems to me that the fairness of the German govern ments attitude requires recognition. With regard to their sending forces to the Philippines, that matter has already beensf fully. cleared up. There was noth- ing whatever in it to show i'll will toward the United States nor was there any pur- pose to interfere with our operations. .a"Vith regard to Germany reaching out after colonies or centers of influence in the far east I have never hesitated to avow myself as heartily in favor of such un- dertakngs
 T regard every establishment of such spheres of influence by great civiiizing powers, if they feel they can administer them without injury to their people, as a benefit to the world at large.
 Every part of the barbaric world
 
 enlightened power like Germany is a clear gain not only to Germany, but to the Unit ed States and to all other civilized powers
 Return of Peace
 "I rejoice in the return of peace and I believe that the conduct of the war with such amazing vigor and effect consid- ering Americas unpreparedness and the deeds of hers that marked it. will do much to bring back the old German feeling of respect for the United States.
 "A large proportion fthe Germans had come to regard the scum thrown to the surface during the ebulition of American activities as the entire contents of the cauldron. They had taken too seriously statements regarding American life made by sensational correspondents and had come to believe that American patriotism dead, that the men controlling our public affairs were wretchedly incompe- tent, that a contemptible Dollar Worship had destroyed all noble aspirations, that the capacity to conceive noble deeds had vanished and that all these qualities had yielded to the passion for money grabbing. Bt the Gernans are thoughtful and honest. and when they ponder the war now happily closed, they will find that the qualities displayed in the American civil war are today as active ever. Already the news papers in Germany are beginning to ralize this

 ''As to the public at large, if 1t ponders the subject, 1t can hardly fail to be struck with the desire of the United States to be fair and Just to Spain, even to be kindly and to avoid everything that can injure her pride and sensibility. Of course, there will be always current questions, some quite difficult, growing out of the com mercial, manufacturing and agricultural rivalry of the United States and Germany but I think the peace will leave us in a better frame of mind for dealing with E them in a manner satisfactory to both."
