Professor Edmund Won Mach, former
incumbent Of the chair Of history OF arr
at Harvard University, set of bomb
q, approval in the ballroom OF the
Waldorf-Astoria when he declared las'
night that England would try Sir I'd

for treason and eventually send MIN
N the eallows. Several hundred Her,
man university graduates who ATTENDED
/ the monthly meeting OF the German
! University League there showed tnelr
annroval Of the speakers assertion py
enthusiastic braves.
"Sir Edward Grey has not only pc
trayed his own country, but ne mas
also lured Russia and France into TINS
| terrific slaughter" Professor Won Macn
asserted. at has been proved that he
deliberately misinformed the British
/ Cabinet. his King and Parliament. his
duplicity is gradually coming TO lehtS'
and it is significant TO learn through
/ British newspapers that recent EngIisn
estimatcs OF Sir Edward Grey, voiced
I before q meeting of the tutors OF Ox-
| ford University. were TO the effect that
( England ought to try him for treason
and will ultimately send him to the
gallows." H..
the French Yellow Book was the most
! accurate Of all the documents pertain
ing to the causes Of the war which the
belligerent nations have published, and
tried TO prove by comparison between
the French Yellow Book and the Brit-
/ ish Blue Book that Sir Edward Grey,
/ the author of the latter, deliberately
"doctored" the text of the Blue BOOK
"He used the same questionable CEN
sorship which has discredited the BRIT
| ish official war reports, not only with
the neutrals but with their own peo-
ple." he said. Secretary Grey did not
mention anything about the Russian
naval agreement, the records OF secret
missions and concerted measures with
the head Of the Belgian Secret Service
n week before the declaration of war,
and denied knowledge OF the contents
of the uttmatum Austria made upon
Servia."
Professor Won Mack paid a high
compliment to the enterprise and
/ thoroughness Of the American press IN
general and The New York Tribune in
particular for having unearthed and
published June Is the secret naval
/ agreement entered into between Eng
land and Russia earlier in the month.
England to this very day denies
| officially that such an agreement exist
ed before the war" the speaker told
/ his audience.
France and Russia are gradually
realizing the duplicty Of the British
/ foreign policies, and their hatred for
the British increases with every day
/ Other speakers were Max r. Helm
4 chairman Of the German University
/ Club. and o. J. Merkel, its secretary
who stated that the membership OF the
club. which is one of the most ex-
elusive German-American associations
has increased from 493, in March, to
$40.
Dr. Bernhard Dernburg explained TO
the University Club of Brooklyn last
night that official Germany had moth
ing TO do with the letter which ne
wrote a week ago to Portland, Me-, in
which he said that Germany is fight
ing for a neutralized free sea.
This letter was not put out as a
peace feeler. nor was il an indication
that Germany realizes that she Is beat
