Situation Continually Ag-
gravated by Sinkings or
Other Episodes, Former
Envoy Tells Committee
Politics Blocked Peace
Mr.. Wilson Ready to Act
on Kaiser's Plea Only
for Campaign, He Asserts

BERLIN, Oct. % {o;- The Associated
Press) The examination Of Count Won
Bernstorf. former German Ambassador
at Washington, was resumed to-day by
the committee investigating the re-
sponslblllty of German officials for the
war. Former Chancellor Won Bethr-
mann Hollweg, DR.. Karl Helfferich and
Alfred Zimmerman were again pres
ent. Replying to one of the deputies
Count Won Bernstorff declared there
was one German-Amercan controversy
afte~ another throughout 1915 and even
until May 4, 1916.
EVERY time we thought We had at
tanned something" he said, "there was
another sinking or some other incident
tending to aggravate the position,
which rendered all negotiations in
American illusory."
In answer to a question asked by
Professor Schaefer the former ambas-
sador said: "American opinion was pri-
marily turned against Germany on ac-
count of Belgium. I have no doubt
that in any peace mediation the COM
plete restoration of Belgium would
lave been demanded in any circum-
stance"
Replying to the chairman he said ::
'If we had declared that we would not
annex Belgium President Wilson would
have regarded that as sufficient basis
for beginning his peace negotiations.
Count Won Bernstorff said that the
Presidential campaign in the United
States in the fall of 1916 prevented
President Wilson from mediatng be-
tween the Central Powers and the AL
lies.
Germany's readiness to accept
promptly the Presidents peace propos-
ais, Count Won Bernstorff said, was
demonstrated in a memorandum the
Kaiser sent to Colonel Edward NJ
House on October 8, 1916, which made
an impression in Washington.
Count Won Bernstortf said the docu-
ment referred to conversation be-
tween Emperor William and James W
Gerard, the American Ambassador, at
German General Headquarters at
Charleville, France, in which possbil-
ity of peace overtures by the United

she'll Monday, according to a dispatch
to the headquarters of the organization
here. None of the three officers en-
gagged in the relief work was hurt,
and the feeding of the children is to
proceed as before, according to that
dispatch. The Lettish Press Bureau,
however, says, according to Copen-
hagen dispatch, that the she'll which
struck the Offices OF the American Re-
lief Administration at Riga wounded
Chief of the Organization Orbison.
German artillery at Riga fired on
British warships at the mouth Of the
harbor on Sunday. according to a re-
port of the Lettish general staff,
transmitted from Copenhagen. On
Monday the British ships returned the
fire, shellne German positions near
the city. Riga is being bombardcd
by heavy German artillery, which is
using gas shells. Great damage has
been done in the city and many civil
ians have been killed or wounded.
Premier Ullman of the Lattish Re-
public, in a report telegraphed from
Riga, Sunday, asserts that German
troops in regular regimental organiza-
tions are being permitted to cross the
German frontier and participa in
hostilities against the Lettish army
He says furthermore that Major Bis
choff, the German officer who refused
to return with General Won der Goltz,
and whose trial by courtmartial was
ordered by the German authorities, is
in command of the operations against

passador Gerard before he sailed for
America on his vacation.
MIR. Wilson Declared Favorable
.., Count Bernstorff uttered an emphatic
es when mem ber OF the commits
SION asked him whether he understood
his instructions in the sense that he
was to influence or encourage Presi-
oene Wilson and Colonel House to
Hhoertake peace move in favor of
germany. He also answered afhrma-
tlveiy question whether President
wilson was ready to accede to these
wishes and institute a general action
lor peace even without possessing
Germanys concrete conditions for
peace.
The committee Of investigation con-
slsts OF two democratic members of the
National Assembly, two Majority So
clalist deputies and one each from the
Clerical, Conservative and Independent
Socialist parties.
Inc historical experts who will pass
on the evidence are Professors Moritz

author of several historical works, in
cludlng history of the modern world
and history of Germany.

Office are in possession of the com
mittee, and records from the Admiralty
