BERNSTORFF ADVISES
GERMANY TO Be GOOD
TO UNITED STA TES

Berlin, July Count Won Bernstorff.
former ambassador to the United
States, in a new periodical, Getrue
Eckart, urged that "all our efforts will
be directed toward making our bust.
ness relations with the United States
the closest purposes
He declares that Germany must ex.
pect nothing from America politically,
"as the Americans are tired from a
political standpoint" This, he says,
is explainable by the fact that war
proved a disappointment for the Unit
ed States"
Won Bernstorff points out that the
Hanseatics, who always have been able
to get on with the Americans, have
succeeded in securing American as.
sistance to rebuild Germany's fleet"
and he believes this may develop into
some arrangement to obtain raw ma.
terials.
After emphasizing the necessity for
the Germans to work hard at recon-
struction, as they could only pay their
debts by labor, the former ambassador
foreshadows the possibility that Amer.
ican capital and German labor may
work together in Russia, as the Amer
leans have but little experience in Rus
sian friends, he says they might be
induced to enlist German cooperation
there.
Both Braun and Roomig decline 10

doll but admitted that they had come
here from Philadelphia with him.

he expected to produce Grover Berg

SENATOR HARDING RESTS
TODAY PREPARAT TORY To
.DELIVER|NG c HIS FORMAL
ACCEPTAN Ct TOMORROW

Marion Ohio, July 81. - Senator
Harding's speech Of acceptance, TO be
delivered here tomorrow is expected
by his close associates to give promi-
nencc to the foreign policy of Presi-
dent Wilson. the league Of nations in
such a way as to advance the cam
paign toward squarely joined issue
between the two political parties.
Those who know TIE mind Of the
presidential nominee declared their
confidence today that he would make
declaration squaring with the party
platform and the party record and
bridging successfully the Republican
differences of opinion, which threat.
ems split at Chicago.
The exact form of the declaration
was not revealed, but it was said au-
thorltatively that it would follow the
trend of the senator's recent state
ments on the subject, and would be
particularly militant in its opposition
to the Wilson policies to which the
Republican nominee regards the Demo
cratic party and candidates as pledged
unreservedly,
In addition to declaring unthinkable
the acceptance of the .,dgue OF the
president fashioned it. however, the
senator is expected TO press in direct
terms his belief that America should
not remain isolated and to take the
position that the wars sacrifices will
prove in vain unless there is estab-
| lished a new order with added secur-
| ity to peace and civilization.
| IL is a subject for speculation, how
far he will detail this portion or to
what extent he will clothe with prac-
| the Chicago platform for an interna-
tional peace tribunal.
1t is regarded as unlikely that the
nominee will enter into a detailed dis
cussion Of the league covenant or will
speak objectively Of reservations or
interpretations. He is expected rather
10 hold his utteranccs TO the broad
principles involved. hinging his argu-
ment to plea for American rather
than world ideals,
He is believed certain to couple with
this a declaration that the failure
of the United States to accept Mr..
Wilson's league will not be construed
al road as an evasion Of duty, but
viii be interpreted as arising from
devotion to the integrity Of the na-
ton.
In preparation for the notification
ceremonies tomorrow, of which his
acceptance speech will be Il part, Sfra-
| tor Harding arranged to spend most
Of today in rest and recreation.
