Won Bernsforff Has Confidence
in Success of German Army

OF before leaving" said Won Bern
storff, was won at Metz by the forces
under the Crown Prince"
AS to the part Japan might play
81 the war, the ambassador declared
the yellow men would undoubtedly
take Kiao-Chau. as they would far
outnumber the German defenders.
"By the end of the war; he said
Japan will have the supremacy of
'the Pacific She took advantage of
the present situation 10 strike the
blow which will result in the su-
premacy she had longed for for
years"
Count Won Bernstorff told an en-
tirely different story of forces attack
ing Liege than those reported in
news dispatches from Belgium
When the real story Of the at
tack upon .Licge is told" he said.
Americans will have "a far different
opinion Of German military methods.
The troops under General Won En-
mich attacking the forts number only
between 5000 and 5000 men. What
was expected TO require weeks was
accomplished in days. The taking
of Liege is one of the greatest mill
tary feats of modern times"
The ambassador says his wife was
now with the Red Cross at Munich.
His son is with the Emporor's guard.
But for the service for my country
in Washington, / would be on the
hattie line myself" Won Bernstorfi
said.

NEW YORK, Aug 24.-"From the
Emperor to the common laborer, the
nation is ready to defend itself
against this unwarranted attack and
/ have perfect confidence of victory" 4"
was the statement here today of
Count Johann Won Bernstorlf Ger
man ambassador TO the United States.
The ambassador arrived from Rot
terdam today on the liner Noordam,
and talked with the greatest freedom.
He plainly indicated that feeling as
a result of Japan's entrance into the
war is hitter
"The calling in Of the yellow men
shows that the allies are not very
confident of the outcome" the ambas-
sador declared. England, as the
Japanese ambassadors have. said, re-
quested Japan to enter the fight"
Won Bernstorn denounced the false
stories that have been circulated in
the United States as to the wounding
of the German Crown Prince and re
ports from the German army head
quarters. He said General Won EN-
mich. commanding the German troops
before Liege, had not committed sui
eide, but was still alive though suf-
fering from a wound in the leg
The Grown Prince was never at
Liege. the Ambassador declared. but
is in command of the army and for
tress at Metz.

Flour continues high, housewives
paying 81 and $3.50 a barrel. Some
wholesale firms look for further ad-
vances as exporting soon will be re-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-President
Wilson does not intend to drop his
governments ship purchase plan. He told
callers today that a wrong impression
concerning the proposal has been ere
ated in interested quarters. He did not
deny, however that the government
would drop its plan or modify il con-
siderahly ii private capital backed down
from its position that the government
guarantee the bonds issued by capital
lists. Just what course would be taken
if private capital should come to the
front and establish sufficient ships, he
declared, would depend largely ON the
discretion of the administration.
The President made it plain that he
saw no alternative for the government
unless private capital recedes from its
present position. The government fleet,
/ he pointed out, is intended largely to
develop trade not now developed. In
/ this respect. he said private enterprise
would be aided by the opening of new
fields, 'rhc bill. he figured. can he pass
