Ambassador the Most Popular German Among Ger
mans in America To-day-Caused Change in
His Governments Submarine Policy.

Of the beginning Of the building up of
Industries. That this shall be the work
of the coming year is the sincere wish
of every German. We are peace lovers.
II is our natural heritage
All who know Count Won Bernstorf
are charmed with his personality. II
is a curious blend Of strength, amiabili-
ty. straigh and unotfending
reserve. He is not a student of books,
but a profound student Of men. The
study of human nature and its appli-
cation in practice are two Of his char
acteristic accomplishments. He is
rarely misled in his estimate Of peo-
pie.
Count Johann Won Bernstorf is the
fourth son of the late Count Albrecht
Won Bernstorff, contemporary and in
innate of Prince Won Bismarck, who
achieved distinction in serving his
country during the Napoleonic period
when the cauldron of European politics
was boiling merrily. Count Johann Won
Bernstorff was born in London, on No
vember Il, 1862, when his father was
German Ambassador TO the Court OF
St. James's. He was educated in Ores
den and entered the army in 1881,
serving with distinction in the first
regiment of artillery guards.
His only son, Count Guenther Won
Bernstorff, a young man in the early
twenties, entered the same regiment at
the beginning of the war as a volun-
teer private. He was wounded twice,
once in Flanders and once in East
Prussia. and recently was elevated to
the rank of lieutenant for distinctive
bravery" as his father declared with
a shining light of parental pride in his
steady gray eyes.
Promotion Was Rapid.
The present German Ambassador to
this country started on his diplomatic
career in 1889, when he was appointed
attache of the German Embassy IN
Constantinople. From Turkey he was
transferred to the Foreign once IN
Berlin. where he first came in personal
contact with Emperor William. From
that time his promotion was rapid. lie
served as Minister to Belgrade, Dres-
den. ST. Petersburg and Munich. lie
was made counsellor and first secretary
of the German Embassy in London, IN
1902. and in 1907 he was sent to Cairo
as German diplomatic agent.
In 1887 Count Won Bernstorf mar
ried Miss Jeanne Luckemeyer. of New
York. There are two children, the
daughter, Alexandra, being twenty
eight years old and the son, Guenther,
twenty-four years old.
Those who knoY the German Am
Eassador say he is very fond Of Ameri-
can customs and institutions. His de-
meanor is democratic and quite
"ArcricaniZed." He wears American
clothes and speaks American" Eng
lish without a trace OF accent. lie
knows how 10 treat Americans in an
easy. informal American manner. and
he is one of the few foreign officials
in this country who can make Jest,
ing remark in the American mood and
enter into the spirit of American
humor.
Count Won Bernstorff came to this
country as German Ambassador IN
1905. He is a baseball and tennis en-.
thusiast and the personal friend OF
many notable Americans in public ana
private life. He is coveted dancer
and popular after-dinner speaker and
we'll known in the best social circles OF
the world.

The most popular German among
Germans in America to-day is Coun,
Johann Heinrich Won Bernstorf, Ger
man Ambassador at Washington
Wherever Germans congregate to dis.
cuss the fortunes of war and kindred
subjects his name is mentioned. So
cially the count has always been as
prominent as he has been popular
But it is only within the last few
months that the rank and file of his
countrymen. as well as the AVERAGE
American, has become familiar with
Count Won Bernstorf and his work.
Work" is the proper word to de-
scribe the ambassadors activities Ac-
cording TO those who have been close
~ associated with him in solving the
many delicate problems which have
come up between GERMANY and the
United States since the beginning o!
the war. Count Won Bernstorf is a
tireless as well as a versatile worker.
During the period Immediately fol-
lowing the Lusitania catastrophe the
ambassador worked twenty hours a
day in a gigantic effort TO stem TIE
tide Of popular as well as official dis
approval Of Germany's submarine var
ware and to cement the broken pieces

velop into an irremediable breach be-
tween this country and Germany sald
an attache of the German Embassy
who has been closer to Count Won
Bernstorff. perhaps. than any other
ran during the crisis. The same dip
lomat is authority for the statement
that Count Won BernstOrf succeeded'
BY constant hSmmering and lnslstent
representations. in inducing the Ger
man Foreign Office TO realize and adapt
itself to the American viewpoint rela-
tive to Germany's submarine warfare
methods.
Tremendous Difficulties Overcome.
"Io one realizes the tremendous
amount of work which the ambassador
has ACCOMPLISHED" he continued
Everybody knows Of the results OF ms
1abors and generally approves OF MS
ocbievements But few persons realize
tho tremendous difficulties which the
smbassador had TO overcome in causing
a change Of policy in the submarine
warfare inaugurated by his govern
ment A small idea of these handlcaps
NAV be obtained by realizing now az
fcult il usually is to change ger,
mans mind, once it has been focusseu
on definite object. If one realizes
that Count Won Bernstortf succeeded IN
this difficult task at long distance as
il we're. one may appreciate IN way
what he has accomplished.
Those in the confidence OF Count Vo on
Bernstorff say that he has set himself

veritable floating hotel. C. & B. Line
Steamers leave either city every

ANDBEE" is attracting to the route
a vast number of travellers to enjoy the
delightful lake ride and, at the same
time. inspect her magnificent interior

The "SEEANDBEE" is the largest
and most costly passenger steamer

Whenever difficulties arise with
foreign nations, the lingo bursts out
IN wild demands for a fight. Just at
present he's holding forth at every
corner drug store and grocery in the
land, where the proprietor hasn't got

listen why the United States should
go to war and what this country
would do if it measured arms with an
enemy. When the time comes for
volunteers, the lingo will get a case
of charley-horse and won't be able to
march, so the quiet fellow who wasn't
so darned anxious about the war in
the first place, will have to shoulder
the musket and do the fighting.

CATS AND BIRDS.

In view. of the widespread move
ment to protect the birds the follow
ing from Joseph Dodson of 701 Sc
curity building, Chicago, ILL.,, will be
of interest to those of our readers
who are anxious to further the move
ment to protect the birds.
Cats destroy millions of native
birds in this country every year. Well
known authorities agree that cats kill
more birds than are killed by all other
animals combined. Native birds are
absolutely necessary to US as destroy
ers of insect life.
The cat is the greatest enemy of
our native birds. The evil work of
the cat is greater than most people
will believe possible. A cat-.in the
country or around a garden where
birds sometimes gather viii catch
from 80 to 100 song birds each year.
You who own cats won'y believe this,
but it is true, as | know from obser-
walton and from the testimony of other
students of bird life. The number OF
birds slaughtered Ivy one average
country cat is certainly as high as 90
