And the fact which fairly dumb Pounds us
IS, that it has only been SIX months since this
same Professor Woodrow Wilson was asking
all the European beligerents to explain what
they were fighting about; and was beneyo-
lently beseechlng them to compose their re-
grettable differences without victory for
either side"
It simply Supplies us to recall that it has
only been six months. since the Professor was
sweetly assuring the Kaiser, through Ambas-
sador Gerard, Of his distinguished considera-
ton and cordial regards
In the Berlin speech of Ambassador Ge-
rard, the German autocracy as warmly as
sured that, so long as Gerard friends" Beth
man Hollweg, Zimmerman, LudendorH,
tdlndenburg, Won Tirpitz, &C., remained in
power, there would be no rupture between
the German autOcracy and the American de
mocracy.
Alas, for the fallibility of ambassadorial
prophets
Mr.. Gerard's 'friends" are still in office in
Berlin. Chancellor Bethman- Hollweg is the
same old seven and six Dr. Zimmerman
presides at the Foreign Office. as usual: Lu-
dendorff, and Hindenburg, and Won Tirpitz
have undergone no observable alteration: the
Kaiser is still confident that he is the Junior
partner Of the Almighty; and German afro
cities are not a whit more atrOcous than they
had constantly and devilishly been for two
years, before Mr.. Ambassador Gerard assured
his atrocious German ''friends' that, if then
remained In office, there would be no dis
turbance of the friendly relatg-1s between
German autocracy and American democracy
Mr.. Ambassador Gerard, speaking to his
official Germail 3riends,@ on the night of
January 7th 1915> in Berlin, said
Never since the beginning Of the war have the
relations between Germany and the United States
been SO cordial / have brought back an
olive branch from the president-Or don't you
consider the presidents message olive branch?
Il personally am convinced that as long as
GermanyS fate is directed by such men my
friend, the chancellor, and DR.. Helferrich and Dr.
Solf; by Admirals Capelle minister of the
navy), HoItzendorn (head Of the naval general
staff and Won Mueller (naval adviser to the en-
peror), by Generals Won Hndenburg (chef Of the
general staff, and Luderorff (frst Quarter-master
generaD, and last but not least, by my friend
Zimmerman, the relations between the two coun-
tries are running risk"
"Germany's fate is still "directed by my
friend the Chancellor"
Germanys fate is still directed 'last. but
not least, by my friend Zimmermann."
But where's the olive branch?
