facts which poved that Ger many could not be starved into it breakdown; that, if the allies were counting on the blockade and the food and raw material shortage to win the war, they were doomed to bitter dis appointment; and, finally, that, if the allies did not make an early peace with Germany, something awful would soon happen to them.
 The second official interview tf2t Doctor Taylor and l had in Berlin, in February, was with Under Secretary of State von Braun. On this occasloi. he made us a notable little speech. in which he presented the irrefutaole facts which proved that Germanys breakdown was due, practically, en- tirely to her shortage in food and raw materials, and that unless something were done quickly to relieve the ex- isting terrible situation she would simply explode into revolution and bolshevist anarchy, and the allies would have to face the awful some thing that such catastrophe in mid Europe would entail.
 This illustrates one of the difficult ties which faced those who attempted to learn anything about Germanys condition before the debacle by listen- ing to German declarations about it and which faces those today who would try to know something of Germany's
 present condition by taking Ger man officials word for it.
 Official lying seems to be the great ! German national sport. Under Secre' i tary of State von Braun lied to the | German people and the world when h' made his reichstag speech. But tha
 has little importance for us now. Wha
 does have importance is, how mucl
 are he and the others lying now, whe1
 they pretend to reveal in all cando ! the German situation which mus largely determine the attitude and ac
 tion that the allies and America havt
 to take toward Germany now and fo | some time to come.
 With regard to this, I may say a once that 1 think Un6er Secretary vol 1 Braun lied less to us in Berlin in Feb
 iuary than he lied to the German peo pie and the world during the war. W

Least of all will she in this new born liberty all over the world fail to extend her hand of support and assist ance to those who have been made free.
 Discard lmperialistic Yokes
 q wonder if at this distance you can have any conception of the tragic in tensity of the feeling of those peoples in Europe who have just had yokes thrown off them. Have you reckoned up in your mind how many peoples, how many nations, were held unwil- lingly under the yoke of the Austro- Hungarian empire, under the yoke of Turkey. under the yoke of Germany?
 These yokes have been thrown off. These peoples breathe the air and look around to see new day dawn about them, and whenever they think of what is going to fill that day with action, they thing first of us. They think first of the friends who throughout the long years have spoken for them, who were privileged to declare that they came into the war to release them, who said that they would not make peace upon any other terms than their liberty and they have known that Americas pres ence in the war and in the conference was the guarantee of the result.

NEW PACIFIC FLEET FLOWS MAJESTICALLYI INTO HOME WATERS
Successfully Negotiates Pan ana Canal in Record
 Time - Will Proceed on Way to San Diego Today

ABOARD THE FLAGSHIP U. $. $. NEW MEXICO, Saturday. July 26. (By Wireless to the Associated Press) The Pacific fleet, under command of Admiral Rodman, tonight is floating ill Pacific waters.
 Six dreadnaughts, led by the flag. ship New Mexico, today successfully negotiated the Panama canal-the largest ships that have ever passed through this waterway. The average time of passage for each warship from Colon to Balboa was ten hours.
 This is the biggest event in the his tory of the canal" said Governor Chester Harding of the Canal zone.
 This afternoon Admiral Rodman wis tied President Perez of Panama, who congratulated the naval officer on his success in negotiating the canal Ap- proximately $500 sailors were given shore leave at Panama and the city to- night is celebrating the arrival of the fleet, which departs tomorrow for San Diego.
 The ships left their anchorage in Gatun lake at dawn this morning, pro- ceeding in pairs two hours apart.
 The New Mexico and Wyoming led the way followed by the New York and Texas. Mississippi and Arkansas.
 To Admiral Rodman was given the honor of directing the course of the first dreadnaught to make the trip. Through the reaches of Gatun lake the dreadnaught steamed at 13 knots an hour. On nearing the narrow con- fines of the Bas Opispo reach the speed was reduced to five knots an hour. The flagship accepted guidance from a tug to keep her nose out of the high banks of Culebra cut. The giant craft thread cd her way slowly through this sec ton.
 Three hours from Gatun lake, the flagship passed under the ominous shadow of Gold Hill, the backbone of the continent. where many slides have occurred. The warship then entered the locks at Pedro Miguel, where 600 sailors, given liberty, took a special train for Panama.
 Governor Harding and Rear Admiral Marhury Johnston of the Panama naval division came aboard as the flagship was being locked down 30 feet to the level of Miraflores lake.
 As the New Mexico eased her way into Miraflores lake, a great crowd col lected on the concreet locks and cheered. A salute of IT guns on the flagship was fired in honor of Governor Harding.
 Tt was no more trouble than putting through the canal a fleet of Great Lakes tugboats," said Admiral Rodman
