DENIAL
DIPLOMATIC EVASION
German Ambassador Known to
Have Said War Would Fol.
low Break With y. S.

NEW YORK. Sept. l2.-Althougt
Count Won Bernstorff. the German am
bassadqr. has repudiated the inter
view which was credited to him yes.
ter6ay. In which he said war would
inevitably follow a breaking Of dip,
lomatic relations between Washing.
| ton and Berlin. 1t is known beyond
question that the denial was simply a
diplomatic fabrication"-a form OF
statement which has been brought
into use with Increasing frequenc,
i by Austrian and German diplomats oi
late.
The assertions made by the ambas
sador may be summarized as follows
That II the United States breaks
off diplomatic relations war will
follow within a few days Sub
marine commanders would have
their present orders not to sink
liners without warning revoked.
so that hostilities with this coun-
try would be inevitable.
Germany has conceded everything
to the United States, and there is
diplomatic victory has been won by
this country, the fruits OF which
would be lost by severing Of
diplomatic relations.
The sinking OF the Arabic was not
a violation Of either the letter or
the spirit Of the German assurance
| that liners would not be torpedoed
without warning.
If American opinion were not
colored by pro-British tendencies,
1t would realize that the only ques-
! tion In the Arabic case is one Of
I evidence. that the German evidence
Is the more credible, and that, in
| any event. question OF evidence
Is not OF sufficient Importance to
| justify step so serious as the
| breaking off Of diplomatic rela-
tions.
1t Is known absolutely that the am.
bassador did make utterance Of these
views in an informal conversation
What Is not known. Is whether they
were made public against his wishes
, or whether he wanted to sound a
