PRESIDENTS OFFER
SCORNED BY KAISER
Wilhelm Refused Seriously to
Consider Peril of lnterven-
ton by America
COMMITTEE IS AMAZED

Berlin, Oct. 24.-presidcnt Wilson'S
peace offer was matter Of little con-
Germ to the German emperor, accord
ing to evidence presented before the
subcommittee investigating the war.
Furthermore, Intervention Of rnc United
States apparently was not seriously
considered by the emperor.
The incident caused a sensation and
occurred during the examination OF
Count Won Bernstorff, formerly German
ambassador at Washington. The So
cialist deputy. Doctor Sinsheimcr,
turned toward Won Bcrnstorff and said
"The kaiser's telegram. to which you
refer. dated January 16. 1917. and
addressed TO Herr Zimmerman. foreign
secretary. says literally: His majesty
instructs me to thank you for your
communication. His majesty does not
care n bit about President Wilson S
offer. II breach with America cannot
be prevented, it cannot De helped.
Events are developing.
There was much excitement at the
hearing when the message was read.
DR.. Karl Heliferich the former vice
chancellor, whispered, nonsense. "
Doctor SinsheiYcr maintained that
the peace conditions sent to President
