Message of Bernstorn.
The following telegram from Count
Bernstorm to the Foreign ONCE in
Berlin was sent in September, 1915:
September Is. With reference to

embargo conference, in regard to
whose earlier fruitful cooperation DR..
Hale can give information, Is Just

Effects of Expose.
The publication OF the latest batch

here to produce these effects:

announcing to the foreign office that
he could influence the coming cleo

1t will definitely reveal to the Ger
man people the total disregard of
all law and international ethics on
the part OF the government which
they are beginning to distrust and
with whom President Wilson and the
allies refuse to discuss peace.
1t will reveal to certain neutrals
whose relations with Germany are
now quivering in the balance Just
how much faith they can put in the
words of the representatives Of the
German government.

with the Embargo conference and
similar organizations the necessity of
now proving their loyalty to the

Why We Are at War
From The New York Tribune)

President Wilson is beginning to
shift the emphasis in explaining why
we are at war. This Is wise There has
been too much transcendentalism in
previous explanations. Mr. Wilson has
insisted too exclusively on the altru-
istic aspect Of the war-so far. at
least. as our participation in it is con
cerned.
We are not fighting for territory or
trade We are fighting without any
desire TO improve our position in the
world at the expense of any other
nation To that extent our purposes
are unselfsh Yet 1t is misleading and
undoubtedly damper on national eff
fort to say that we are not fighting
as a matter of self-interest.
As a matter of fact we are in the
war because we were forced into It
in selfdefence We have taken up
arms to maintain national rights We
are fighting to protect ourselves
our homes. our property and the lives
OF our women and children. Our safe
ty and our welfare as a nation are
at stake. We are pouring out our
Treasure because, If we do not pour
II out the Kaiser may come across
the Atlantic and appropriate Il. If
Germany had defeated the Entente
Allies before our entry into the war,
we should have been her next victim.
If she defeats the Entente Alliance,
now that we have joined It, we. as
the richest Of the defeated nations,
shall have to play the major role in
indemnifying the victor for the costs
of the war
We have therefore on interest in
the present struggle which comes
closer home TO us than any well-in-
tentioned service of humanity or any
laudable crusade for the promotion Of
democracy Germany was not satisfied
10 allow us TO remain neutral. To re-
main neutral on German terms was
to mortgage. our future-to forfeit our
honor and self-respect. Germany mas
sacred our citizens-women children
and non-cOmbatants. She abrogated
our right TO use the high seas and
gave us an insulting warning that she
meant to annul any and all obligations
to us under international law which
might embarrass her or Obstruct her
In the attainment of her military ends.
She conspired to embroil us with
Mexico and Japan. She made war on
us long before we plucked up enough
courage to declare war on her. We
turned at last to fight her because
further liberation OF her aggression
had become impossible, not because
we deemed that the time had finally
arrived to vindicate humanity and
spread democracy.
In The Tribune's opinion the fight
ing spirit of the country can be more
successfully aroused by an insistence
on the concrete grievances which we

has carried on war by foul and for
hidden methods. She has murdered
women and children, ravaged invaded
territory. descended to infamles Whlcn
have been UNPARALLELED since the
period of the brutal religious wars
which followed the Reformation; she
has put herself beyond the pale OF
civilized fellowship
Yet she put herself beyond tnat
pale more than two years ego we
did not fight her then. We waited IN
til her savagery had been vented upon
us so plainly that there was no longer
any excuse for nonresistance. Let us
remember now that Germany is ready
and willing TO slaughter our women
and children. to torture our soldiers
with liquid fire, to waste our territory
and to make poems of any civilian
population which m1y fall into her
clutches. We are fighting Germany
because II we do not fight her and
conquer her she will wreak all her
bestiality on us. IL she ever succeeds
in dominating Europe with her Nit
teleuropa consolidation, she will soon
turn toward the Americas and fasten
her militaristic yoke on us.
We are glad to see the President
now presenting the concrete rather
than the abstract reasons which we
have for fighting Germany. We fight
her because we fear her-because we
have seen what she is capable Of do
ing in n world in which she aims at

people. of course. to see more Euro
pean states repubicanized, or liberal
lied in government by an infusion OF
the democratic spirit. But first OF all
we want TO be certain OF one result
at home. We want to be certain that
the United States is not going to be
Germanized. That is what our armies
will fight fora selfish aim. If any
body wants to ca it that, but an aim
/ which can be grasped instinctively by
every American, however remote his
interest may be in the political or ter
ritorial adjustments in Europe which
may follow Gernnny's defeat and
which may be necessary to secure the
fruits OF Allied victory.
Let us get down closer to the
thoughts and feelings of the masses II

at war. The war is now an American

Sir Douglas Hsig's Confidence in Victory

Hitherto General Haig's bulletins
have simply recorded facts without a
touch of eletion or any speculation
about the future. Sir John French's
dispatches had an atmosphere of
valor and reflected the traditions OF
the British army. He was of Irish
blood. and wrote, as he fought, with
imagination and spirit. He was in
clined to magnify in an eloquent way
what had been accomplished BY the
army. 10 was never depressed by the
Generals view of a check or reverse
When beaten the British army &C.
quilted itself gloriously, as in the re-
treat from Mons Sir John French
was no less sturdy with the pen than
with the sword.
Sir Douglas Haig is all Scotch, dour
in defeat, composed in the hour OF
success, always steady, inclined to
caution His bulletins have had no
atmosphere; matter of fact they have
understated achievement and avoided
vainglory. Haig has never lot himself
go. There has been nothing literary
in his dispatches, not a metaphor
anywhere He has never dipped his
