I myself felt that nothing could
alter public opinion in Germany, in
spite of Won Tirpitz's fall, which had
4 taken place some time before; that
the advocates of ruthless submarine
warfare would win, and that to sat-
isfy them Germany would risk a
break with America.
/ was sitting in my office, in a
rather dazed and despairing state,
when Prof. Ludwig Stein, proprietor
Of magazine called North and South
and a writer of special articles on
Germany's foreign relations for the
Vossische Zeitung, under the name
Of 'Diplomaticus," called to see me.

ters.
DR.. Heckscher, a member of the
Reichstag, who must be classed
among the reasonable men of Ger
many, also advocated my speaking d.
rOetly to the Kaiser.
Invited to the Front.
A few days after this Won Jagow
called to see me at the embassy and
invited me to visit the Emperor at
the great general headquarters, but
he did not state why 1 vas asked. l
do not know to this day whether the
chancellor and those surrounding the
Emperor had determined on a tenn
porary settlement of the 5marine
question with the United States and
wished to put that settlement out as
Il were, under the protection Of the
Emperor, or whether the Emperor
was undecided and those in favor of
peace wished me to present to him
the American side of the question.
I incline to the latte view. Won
JAgow informed me that an officer
from the foreign office " ould accom-
pany me, and that / should be allowed

bassador ever travels In Germany.

Hard Winters Of Lonn Ann

tended by heavier snowfalls in their
childhood days than they are now?
The myth of the "old-fashloned win

proof of counting the hits and not

cold produce a more lasting impress
sion upon the mind than open, mild
weather. We remember the excep-

the normal weather. In some cases a
change of residence accounts for this
belief. Some parts Of the country
have a much heavier snowfall than
others. In any given locality the
