Without an authoritive opinion on

Berlin, NOV. 27.---Germany feels
in her conduct of the war she was
no more criminal than the allies:
that she is not seeking forgiveness
for herself or others, according to
Bernhard Dcrnburg.
In q remarkable open letter to
former Minister Puerrydon of Ar
gentina who is attending the league
of nations meeting, Dernburg stated
he could not condemn the sinking of
the Lusitania without disloyalty to
his country
Dernburg declared Germany is
willing to prove the measures and
means used by Germany during the
war were mother in proportion nor
kind, worse nor moro criminal than
those used by our adversaries. We
neither seek excuse nor ask forgive
ness from others for ourselves he
said.
Dernburg said the German people
were not so much hurt by the fl
nancial and economic stipulations of
the treaty as by the spirit with which
they were branded with the stigma
of moral unworthiness, destroying
at the outset the spirit of good will,
without which tho league cannot
survive"
