BernStorH Relying On
u. S. to Put Germany On
Prosperity Basis Again

BERLIN, July 13-writing in to-
days issue of the Demokratische
Deutschland, Johann Bernstorff, for
mer German Ambassador to the Unit
ed States. expressed the hope that
favorable relations between Germany
and the United States. would soon be
restored.
Bernstorff warned that those rela-
lions would not be restored If Ger

He declared Germany must rely on
the United States for admission into
the League of Nations and to see that
German banks and commercial firms
obtained credit from the world.
Reviewing the course of the war,
Bernstprff stated that submarine war
had brought the United States into
the war. He said that even this
would not have projected America
into the war II 1t had not been for a
clique of militarists an the United
States. He said the civilians and pol
iticians had been overruled in the
war declaration by the militarfsts.
Bernstorff declared Germany had
relied too much on Mr.. Wilson to
secure peace. He argued that when
Mr.. Wilson came to Europe he came
under superior influences Of Euro
pean politics, and therefore he was
not able to accomplish the aims Of
his fourteen points.
"If he had insisted on the first
point he would have won with them
ALL" Bernstorff declared.
He said he believed Mr.. Wilson
carried home a conviction that he
had fully established his fourteen
points. He admitted that Germany
had furnished much Of the material
by which America had so quickly
prepared for war. when once she de-
cided to enter it. He declared the

March entered the Academy as the

two years, with resultant reorgani-

General March began his cam

General Scott was removed as Chief
