Ambassador Gerards
-Four Years in Germany
A Review of Former Enjoys Remark
able Disclosures, Just Now Concluded,
in "The Philadelphia Public Ledger"

US that 100000 like Germans were
coming of military age annually. A
German victory, he says, will mean an
attack upon the United States. The
now famous Kaiser cable TO President
Wilson, written in the imperial hand
in Ambassador Gerard's presence
shortly after the outbreak Of war in
1914, was an explanation Of the out
break and of the invasion Of Belgium
at variance with Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg's statement.
The Kaiser wrote of Belgian neutral
ity (which had to be violated by Bel
gium on strategical grounds and ex-
planned further Of "news having been
received that France was preparing to
enter Belgium" The Kaiser here first
wrote the word "knowledge," then
crossed it out and wrote in the word
news
Depending again on second hand
knowledge, or "news," the Kaiser com
planned that "my cousin, the English
King, told my brother, Prince Henry,
who tells me" that England will re-
main neutral. These disclosures when
made here on August . created con-
sternatiOn in Germany and a ripple in
Westminster, where royal blunderings
were condemned. Mr.. Gerard tells how

that the Kaiser had written such
cablegram stultifying Won Bethman-
Hollweg, urged its suppression 'in
the interest of peace between Ger
many and the United States"

Events Before

Mr.. Gerard recounts the exchange of
diplomatic notes before the confiagrs-
tion was under way, and shows Ger

tool. Russia the bogie, and England the
entreator of peace. The American Am

the American army attache to the

drawal of these by President Wilson.
Bitter attacks upon America and upon
President Wilson were common in 1915.
The envoy tells of the romantic dis
covery by him through a pretty wom-
an of the message sent TO Germany by
the Austrian Ambassador, Dumba. who
represented Secretary of State Bryan

States were not to be taken literally,

Behind the scenes in 1915 there

as the adviser to the Kaiser in the mat

cooperation Of Germany even TO the
landing OF men and officers in Ireland
and the bombing Of English towns. Ae-
cording to the letter, Justice Cohalan
asked that a telegram 80 this effect"

Among the enterprises proved or in

credited representatives in a friendly
country were violation of the laws OF

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-There vii!

was nothing unexnected in either re-
sponse. although the Austrian note

that quality Of fetch worship which
nc Germans themselves call "schwar-

nay appropriately be rendered into
English by saying that he has "crush"
on al things German. Both directly
and indirectly this finds frequent ex-
preston in the Hearst publications:
directly in his professed pro-German-

representation of whatever nation

Open praise Of Germany he does not
indulge in so often now as formerly;
but there is plenty of direct evidence
bearing upon his loyal admiration Of
"Deutschtum" and all that it implies in
ruthless Imperialism. Take, for ex-
ample, this passage from his "Deutsches

many was imminent:
