Germany, before the war. treated the
American woman who came to her

the imperial court because the kaiser

commander in chief of the American army

direct the campaign of our army and navy
in time of war. Not so with the Kaiser, who
has studied military and naval science his
entire life and fatuously believes he knows
something about it.
"He is the supreme arbiter His chief OK
staff and his generals conceive the military

Won Bernstorff, is an aristocrat born, and
his induction into Office probably means a
return of the aristocratic tradition in the
German service. He has been the German
Ambassador to Copenhagen and is about
the only diplomat in Germany whose
course has been approved by practically all
the critics. In some quarters the appoint
ment is taken as reputation of the zim-
hermann policy, which helped bring the
United States into the war when the Ger
man intrigue with Mexico was discovered.
However, it is said that Count Brockdorff-
Rantzau will be prompt to recognize the
state of war with the United States, which
