 Statement Regarding
 Interview with BernstOrff
CALLS FEM DESERTERS
Former Ambassador Has Little Use for the Germans Livinq
 in America.

1 WASHINGTON. May 28.-Count von Bernstorff former German ambassa- ! dor to the United States, before the war spoke dispaTagingly of German citizens in this country, saying they had run away from their fatherland ] to avoid military service and were outlaws" according to statement made public by Senator Phelan of California.
 l The remarks attributed to Won ] Bernstorff. Senator Phelan explained, were made during an interview which he had with the ambassador ;. in Munich in 1913 in an effort to get :. Germany to participate in the Pan ama-Pacific Exposition. Phelan urg- i ed a German exhibit on the ground
 that Germans in the United States would be proud of it.
 He immediately resented that,
 said Senator Phelan in his state . ment
 . Much to my surprise he substan-
 tially said: Do not talk about those
 people. We do not care what they
 think or want They have deserted [ the fatherland. They have run away
 to avoid military duty They have
 been false to the old traditions
 They are outlaws
 That was the sentiment of the of. ficial Germany then, as I believe it
 is today. They regard those good
 people as outlaws, as men who have
 fled from their duty.
 q think our German-American citi-
 zens should know and understand
 the Prussian estimate of them and
 be confirmed in what I believe to be their sincere conviction that their
