campaign in favor of the Allies, re-
quests editorially today that the gov
eminent declare a policy fof s'benevo-
lent neutrality toward the Allies as
soon as possible. The statement says
in part:
1T would be extremely dangerous
to adhere to strict neutrality, be-
cause we have to account for danger
Gus violation Of neutrality committed
against any of the combatants.
"If Mexico remains neutral for the
time being it should not remain i'm

.BERNSTORFF Is
AIDING FOES OF
The CHANCELLOR
Blames Hollweg for En-
trance of United States
Into the War

Washington, July 13-Count Won
Bernstorff, former German Ambassa-
dor to the United States, is factor
in the German governmental crisis, ac-
cording to reliable information receiv-
ed in official circles here He was
reported yesterday to be an anti-pan-
Germanist, and to be affiliated with
the moderates.
1t was related that when Count
Won Bernstorn returned to Germany
he experienced difficulty in seeing the
Emperor The Foreign Office block
ed his efforts, giving him assignments
which made it impossible for him to
make an appointment with the Kais-
ier. Finally, however, the returned
ambassador saw the emperor, but
what transpired has not been made
known.
The statement was made yester-
/ day, however, that since his first au-
dience with Emperor William. Count
Won Bernstorff's influence in German
politics has increase /. He was known
to be opposed to Foreign Minister
Zimmerman. and it was believed
that he was not in hearty sympathy
with, Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hou-
veg. He was originally sent to the
United States as ambassador by
Prince Won Buelow, who has been
mentioned as a possible successor to
Hollweg, and persons intimate with
the count during his residence in
Washington believe he is now working
for the elevation of the prince.
Count Won Bernstorf was repre-
scented as having taken the position
that he might have prevented this
entrance Of America Tito the war ii
he could have communicated with ths
Emperor. and to have intimated thai
the Chancellor had withheld from
the Emperor pertinent information
concerning the attitude of this coun-
try.
