BERSTORFF ESSAYS
PART OF DEMOCRAT
BY FRANK J. TAYLoa


CUnited Press staff CORRESPONDENT J
BERLIN, Auril 10.-count Bern
storff has joined the ranks of the
Democrats. lie admits he has joined
the party and .the party admits he
has been taken into the fold, though
no statement came out officially.
Bernstorffs fluctuation into the
Democratic party came out in an un-
conscious and amusing way. In the
early days of the revolution, in De-
cember, he spoke of "the democrats"
and 1.-THE socialists
BY the end of January Bernstorff
spoke. unconsciously or otherwise, of
I'VE democrats" on INJURY he
stated he had joined the Democrats
and took part in their councils.
Joining the Democrats has re-es-
tablished Bernstorff soiidly with the
government. since the democrats are in
coalition with the majority Socialists.
Bernstorff is in good favor with
Germans generally, who appreciate
his ability. but are dubious as to tho
way his presence in the government
will be taken by the allied countries.
especially America.
There was a strong movement to
send him as a peace delegate, which
was held back only by apprehension
over his possible reception. For this
reason systematic inquiry was in
stituted among Americans and Eng
lishmen in Berlin as to how the count
would be received. Tine results
hardly strengthened his position.
Another means of "inquiring' was
the report sent out from Berlin and
then branded as a "misrake" that
Bcrnstorff had been appointed as q
peace delegate. The Germans watch
cd eagerly for the reaction from the
allied press.
