Count Won Bernstortt, German
Ambassador Holds War Was

Powers

New York, Aug. 24.-Vount Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador
to the United States. returned to his
post today on the steamer Nordam
and gave out one of the most author
atfve interviews yet expressed here
on Germany's attitude towards the
war. Germany is bound to win in
the end, he said; she is fighting be-
cause her cause is Just. He predict

gard the conflict in this light. Italy,
he believes, will not allow herself to
take sides against Germany.
From the Emperor to the lowest
unskilled workman in theh Father
land. Germany is united to defend
herself against the frivolous and un-
warranted attack of Jealous powers"
said he. The German people will
fight to finish and will be victor

continued, "the English cut the cable
to this neutral country for the sole
purpose OF preventing the truth from
coming here. There was no excuse
for that act except the desire to de-
