Berlin Banker Here Thinks
Exhaustion Will End War

An officer of one OF the most I'M
nortant Berlin banks, who IS now IN
tbis CITY for a visit of indefinite length,
said Yesterday that he thought the war
in Europe would not be a long one, be-
cause exhaustion, If not great defeat
for one side or the other, would be sure
20 end it soon. Though he said that
he was here only on private business
and denied strongly that he had any
mission for the German government, he
would not permit either his own name
or that Of the institution he repre-
sents 20 be made public, saying that he
was not prepared 70 engage in contro-
versics which would otherwise be in
evitable.
II believe with Premier Asquith," he
said, that the war cannot last long.
There will be a great defeat for one
side or the other, and If not that, ex-
haustion A war cannot continue like
this, with thousands Of men being sac
riiced every day and millions Of dol
lars being poured out Beside this war
all others ere nothing. Comparisons
are useless. Il Is too tremendous 10
Keep up.
If il is 10 be exhaustion, Germany
can keep up as well as any of the
others. She Is in excellent financial
condition, and when left, in October
general business was improving IN a
satisfactory way"
Asked whether Germany was getting
many supplies through neutral coun-
tries, he said that she was doing excel.

Fatherland.

London, Nov. 12.-An American. who
returned TO London to-day from Ger
many, but who. because of business
reasons, asked to have his name un-
published. gave a graphic description
of present conditions there. He also
told of having seen the American Am
bassador. James W. Gerard, just pre-
vous TO Election Day, and when he
asked Mr.. Gerard how his Senatorial
campaign was going on the ambassador
told him he was completely in the dark
as TO his chances 1t was also said by
this American that Professor Hugo
Munsterburg's brother had been in
curing Of several Americans if it was
true that his brother had left Harvard
University. Speaking of conditions IN
Germany this American said:
"The confidence of the German has
not diminished in any particular since

war | visited many big cities and was
surprised to find 90 large proportion
of the men of military age not yet

tainly not the slightest indications OF
the success Of such policy at the pres
ent time.
MANY men have been working IN

doing such work, hut great emphasis
is placed on the value of the late tall

Germany was planted with fall prod

"Well," he said, we can always send
gold for our payments, either 20 the
United States or 70 the neutral coun-
tries of Europe. Germany is as well
supplied with gold as other countries"
In reply to another question, as 20
whether he was here on a mission for
the German government, he said: 1T IS
a natural supposition that ! am in this
country TO arrange for loan, or some
thing of the kind, because so much OF
that has gone on here lately. But the
supposition is wrong. Ny visit is mere
~ a private one. Besides, Germany Is
not so foolish as TO try TO make loan
here, knowing, as she does, the feeling
of the American people about such
loans. And Germany doesn't need a
loan, either.
IAN exaggerated idea prevails here"
he said further, regarding the amount
of Germany's holdings of American Sc
curities, and the extent 70 which my
country might liquidate, following a re-
sumption of business on the New lOrN
Stock Exchange. There was heavy
liquidation for German account in the
last month in which the stock exchanges
were open, and the holdings Of Ger
mans in American stocks are not heavy.
There might be some liquidation, but
the amount would not be great | am
sure it would be much less than some
of the estimates which | have heard
since my arrival here"

Treaty of Alliance Against
Russia Made Long Ago,
Says Diplomat.
KAISER'S MONEY SET
POVERTY PLEA ASIDE
Folly of Going to War Recog.
nized by Cabinet, but II
Could Not Be Avoided.
lBy Cable 70 The Trihune. ]

Athens, Nov. 12.-The "Embros" pub
fishes an interview with an exalted
diplomat explaining the circumstances
which compelled Turkey to stake her
existence as an empire by entering the
war as an ally of Germany. Turkey,
he says, knew that her participation
IN the war was an act of folly con-
trary TO her own interests, but she was
compelled TO make war by reason of
;he treaty of alliance concluded long
ago.
BY it Turkey bound herself to give
military and naval assistance to Ger
many If war was declared on her by
Russia, Germany entering into SINH
lar obligations toward Turkey. When
the war began there were strong diff
ferences of opinion in the Turkish Cab
met as TO whether in such dsadvan-
tageous circumstances Turkey was
bound to carry out her Obligations In
fact, Turkey represented TO Germany
that she had no money. that her army
was going through a period Of organ
ization and her fleet entirely power

Germany answered by advancing the

for the Turkish army and navy. The
diplomatist refers to the terms of a
telegram from Emperor Francis Joseph
to the Sultan, in which the Emperor
said that Turkey was compelled to
fight for her meaning, of
course, that Turkey was bound to take
the field under her solemn treaty OBJ
legations.
The diplomatist adds that the ex-
istence of the treaty was known to
Great Britain.
The story is regarded here as con-
tanning a certain improbability. On its
face it would appear to be an attempt
TO represent Turkey as more sinned
against than SHINING. and to prepare
the way for retreat with q severe cas-
tigation from what the majority of
the Turks must by now realize is a
,enseless adventure. The fact, how
ever, that the account appears in the
"Embros" and other leading organs Of
Greek public opinion which are not
normally inclined TO offer excuses for
Turkey makes it impossible to dismiss
i on this count.

ALLIES TO ATTEND
TO SOUTH AMERICA
Do Not Expect United States to
Take Part in Enforcing
Neutrality.

Washington, Nov. 12.-France and
Great Britain have warned Ecuador
and Colombia that violations Of neu-
trality by those countries will not be
tolerated.
The British and French Ambassa-
doris here have presented notes notify
ing the United States OF their repre-
sensations TO Ecuador and Colombia.
No request was made for action by
the United States. but the hope was
expressed that the American govern
ment would be able to impress on the
South American states the value Of
strict neutrality.
The two South American countries
are charged with having permitted
wireless messages 10 90 to German
ships and allowing the German feet
to coal in their territory.
II was pointed out al the British
Embassy that the notes communicated
20 the American government were
merely in accord with the usual Gus
tom Of Great Britain in. informing the
United States of her relations with
