Government has the privilege of re-

Anticipating that the second loan

can be made $4,000, 900. 900.

been against the resumption Of this
ruthless war.
But Germany is not ruled in war
time by the civilian power. Hin
denburg at the time left for Amer
lea was at the head OF the general
staff, and Ludendcrff, who had been
chief of staff, had been made the
quartermaster general in order that
he might follow Hindenburg to gen
eral headquarters.
Hindenburg, shortly before his bat
tie Of the Mssurian lakes, was q gen.
eral living IN retirement at Han
over. Because he had for years spe-
cialized in the study OF this region,
he was suddenly called to the COM
mand Of the German army which was
opposing the Russian invasions.
Ludendorf, who had been colonel
of q regiment at the attack on Liege,
was sent with HIM as his chief OF
staff The success of Hindenburg IN
his campaign is too well known 20
require recapituIation here. He be-
came the popular idol OF Germany,
the one general-in fact, the one
man whom the people felt that they
could idolize. But shortly before my
trip to America IN idea was creep
ing through the mind of the German
people leading them to believe that
Hindenburg was but the front and
that the brains OF the combination
had been furnished b. Ludendorff.
Many Germans in a position to

The pro-alIy faction of the Costa

at a session to determine what steps
to take in the German situation. OF

about this dinner and about what was
what 1 said as an expression Of
friendliness, and only Reventlow
claimed that by referring to the mem
bers of the government I was inter
fering in the internal affairs of Ger
many. The speeches, and in fact,
this dinner, constituted a last desper-
ate attempt to preserve friendly re-
Iations. Both the reasonable men
present and knew almost to GER
tainty that return to ruthless sub
marine war had been decided on, and
that only some lucky chance could
prevent the military, backed by the
made public opinion, from insisting
on a defiance of international law
and the laws OF humanity.
The day after the dinner the chan
cellor sent for me and expressed ap-
prevail of what I had said; he thank
ed me for II, ami on the surface IL
seemed as II everything was merry
as a marriage bell" Unfortunately.
I am afraid that all this was only
on the surface, and, perhaps, the or
ders to the submarine commanders
to recommence ruthless war had been
given on the day preceding this love
feast.
MIseaneeptIon OF Presidents
"Mandnte.y
The Germans believed that Presi-
dent Wilson had been elected with q
mandate to keep out of war at any
cost, and that America could be In
suited, flouted and Inundated with
impunity.
Even before this dinner we had
begun to get rumors OF the resump-
ton OF ruthless submarine war. With
in a few days was cabling to the
department information based, not
upon absolute facts. but upon reports
which seemed reliable and which had
been collected through the able ef-
forts OF our very. capable naval at
tache, Commander Gherardi.
And this information was confirm
ed by the hints given to me by Vari-
Gus influential Germans.
Again and again, after January 0,
was assured by Zimmerman and
others in the foreign office that moth
ing of the kind was contemplated.
Now, were the German moves In
the direction of peace sincere or not?

mann; Won der Busche, formerly
German minister in the Argentine,
who had equal rank with Stumm in

peace to the President, were SIN
