GERMAN PEOPLE MIsLED.
Or Germany's Attitude on Submarine
Warfare Would Have Been Different.

Copenhagen, Wednesday, Oct. o.
George Bernhard, writing in the Berlin
Vossiche zeitung, says the submarine
warfare never would have been pro-
claimed If the German people had not
been deceived and misled
Discussing the peace steps taken at
Washington in 1916 and 1917 the writer
says:
III we had known President Wilson
had been continually requested TO act
as peace mediator and even that spe
Gifted conditions had been submitted.
our action would have been different.
Had we known that at the moment un.
restricted submarine warfare was de-
clared, President Wilson had agreed to
accept the role OF mediator, the German
people, in the great majority, never
would have tolerated policy which
brought upon them the reputation OF be-
ing double-tongued."
All this, says Bernard, goes far toward
making President Wilson's sharp words
understandable.
1T also explains Ambassador Gerard's
unmeasured speech, when one recalls
that the German government permitted
him to make a friendly address in the
presence of high officials at the very mo.
ment when the submarine campaign al.
ready was decided upon, he concluded
