Captain Bairnsfather has hit the nail
squarely on the head. He has point
ed out the biggest blunder that can
be charged against Gcrmany's stupid
diplomacy. The blind men of Berlin
were convinced that the United States,
protected from the horrors Of war by
the broad Atlantic, would swallow
Prussian insults, close its eyes 20
PTussian atrocities and remain meeki@
neutral while American women ard
children were drowned by Pcussian
submarines, rather than plunge into
the flth, the degradation and the dam
gers of a world-conflict made unprec-
edentediy ''fgightfai" by poison gas.

resources Of German "Kultur." And
now the Prussians are hopelegsly be-
wildered when they see the soft, %

American characteristics which the
Germans do not understand and deeid-
