Of AMERICA
HAVE LITTLE EFFECT

dent Wilson broke relations with
Germany. That astonisI,ment came
because officials had recently been
assured by German-Americans In
the United States that President
wilson would not sever relations for
fear of q Gernan-Ame,iean upris-
ing. The same belief was held by
the German public.
When the embassy train left Rer-
lin Chancellor Won Bethmann-HoIweg
was admittedly downcast over the
situation and believed that America
wanted war with Germany. This
was also noticeable OF Foreign Sec
rotary Zimmerman when he received
the American correspondents short
~ before their departure from Ber-
lin. He likewise insisted that Pres
ident Wilson wants war with Ger
many and denied that Germany has
made any irrefutable promises in the
Sassex note.
Writing now from neutral Swiss
soil it is possible for the first time
to tell of developments which led
undersea war. Determination dates
back to November of last year. Then
Germany's internal affairs were at
the greatest crisis of all the war.
The socialists warned the govern
msnt that unless a move was made
for peace, the leaders would head
militant movement to bring about
place themselves. This came when
German people were destitute and
the time when the powerful land
owners, who control the food sup
plies. and industrial owners, who
control munitions, told the govern
ment that the only way to end the
war was by the unlimited submarine
campaign. These interests had al
ways been anti-American.
They succeeded in convincing
Quaitermaster Ludendorff, and
meanwhile the National liberals,
who would welcome war with Amer
lea, won over the foreign secretary
10 the unrestricted sub campaign.
The kaisers birthday conference ut
German headquarters On January -
did not include in its conference such
officials as the Minister of Interior
Igeifferich andn Minister of Colonies
Soif. known to be opposed to incit-
ing American intervention.
The speech made by the imperial
chancellor early in December where
he announced peace overtures COM
nlete!y won over the socialists ele-
meat to any course the chancellor
might advocate. In the same way
the kaiser's submarine blockade won
over the producers and the group of
industrial leaders to continuance
of hostilitics. The government peace
proposals united the German people
who believe firmly that they must
fight on i'm their own defense.
Everybody in Germany is working
night and day. The answer which
the entente returned to the peace
proposals 50 frightened Turkey that
