"Blood and Iron" Rule Is
Blamed By Germans for
America Entering W..
unrestricted Submarine Warfare" and DominarH
Part Played by High War Lords, Keeping Public
In Ignorance, Forced Yanks Into Battles at Cost
Of German Victory, Report Asserts.

Berlin, July l9.-The report OF
the second subcommittee of the
committee OF investigation on Pres
ident Wilson'S peace efforts during
the winter of l9l6-l9l7, prepared by
Professor Sinsheimer. former So
cialist member of the reichstag,
draws the conclusion that President
Wilson's action made peace over
lures possible, but that the German
government, not availing itself of
them, instead took a stand for un-
restricted u-boat warfare.
The report, made available here
today, is signed by six members of
the different political parties. 1t is
d grave indictment of the German
military dictators.
The report shows haw the eco
nomists of Won Bethmann Hol-
wegg's civil government, even DR..
Karl Hefferich, then minister of
finance, did not believe unrestricted
u-boat warfare could insure victory.
AS the gravest mistake the reports
mention that Americas resources
were underestimated. The report
says it was argued the submarines
would prevent transportation of
American troops IF there were
any" 1t further declares that the
submarines failed to terrorize suffi-
GENTLY neutral shipping, that no suf-
ficient attention was paid to the
anti u-boat measures of Germany's
enemies and that when America en-
tered the war = military authorities
failed to make adequate provision
for its inevitable lengthy protrac-
ton.
Public Misled.
That the German public was
grossly misled is further charge in
the report. which implies that al
though the economic experts gave
adhesion to unrestricted u-boat war
fare at the behest of the military
leaders. experts were rabid party
men and did not include really first
class authorities.
In fact, the report says, mo ar
guments against u-boat war were
being placed" before the reichstag.
The report mentions the withhold
ing from the public knowledge ef
conditions presented by Haniel Won

IIaimhausen, formerly chancellor oi
the German embassy at Washing
ton: DR.. Franz Won Pappen, former
military attache to the embassy, and
DR.. Heinrich F. Albert, former
commercial attache to the embassy
viii being familiar with the Ameri-
can situation warned against unre-
stricted u-boat warfare. The report
mentions notably Won Pappen's
message to General Erich Won Fal-
kenhayn, former chief of the Ger
man staff, IF you fail to keep the
United States out you have lost the
war"
Real Cause of Collapse.
Capitulation of the civil govern
ments misgivings as to what now
has proved to be the mistaken policy
of frightfulness and the fact that the
reichstag was kept in ignorance OF
the real situation, according to the
report, caused Germany's collapse.
The historical blame of Ger
many's political defeat is' the re-
port continues. that on the vital
question of Germany's existence i,
allowed to happen that which in its
conviction was pernicious to the
country. The blame of the military
leadership is that, knowing unre-
stricted u-boat warfare would in
cvitably entail Americas entry, it
played the card"
Appended to the ma jjority report
is a document giving marginal Won
Holtzendorff, then head of the Ger
man naval general staff, in which
the latter suggested refusal to the
proposal by the American embassa-
dor at Vienna that to avoid enbroil-
mcnt, American ships going to Eng
land should not be torpedoed. The
Kaiser wrote:
He Can Have 1t.
Il agree to be declined. An end
must be made once and for all to
negotiations with America. If Will
son wants war he can make and
have it"
A minority report consists main
ly of arguments that President Will
sons efforts were not definite
enough and that there were suffic-
lent reasons for unrestricted u-boat
warfare.

Delegates Arrive in Lincoln
For Opening of National
Convention on Wedesday-
May Nominate Bryan.
SENTIMENT STRONG FOR
BILLY SUNDAY ON TICKET
DR.. Clinton Havard, National
Reform Chairman, Also Men.
toned as Probably Nominee
For Presidential Race,

Lincoln, Neb., July 19.-The pro-
hibltion party is preparing for fight
to finish in the coming presidential
campaign, according to w. G. Cal
derwood. vice president of the
party's national committee, and the
various delegates who already have
arrived 1or the national convention
which opens Wednesday.
Every delegate who has arrived
thus far declares that a presidential
ticket will be placed in the field and
they are unanimous in the declara-
ton that William Jennings Bryan
and Billy" Sunday are the men who
will head this ticket. The question
of whether Mr.. Bryan will consent
to head the party's ticket now is up
permost in minds of the delegates.
MIR. Calderwood, however, take ex-
ceptions to a statement credited to
Mr.. Bryan that enforcement of the
prohibition law rests more with con-
gress than with the president.
Too Many Wet Officers.
1T is true" said Mr.. Calderwood,
that we should not go to sleep at
the congressional switch, but the
president can, as the president has,
appoint wet enforcement officers
who will make the law ridiculous
and bring it into such disrepute that
even the drys will be disguster. Since
| reached the state of Nebraska, a
very prominent citizen told me that
in the wet portion of the state the
law was farce. The same man
called attention to what the whole
nation knows, that the same thing
has occurred in other wet centers
with like results"
Monday and Tuesday is expected
to see the arrival Of the bulk of the
delegates and visitors. National
Chairman Hinshaw is due to arrive
Tuesday. The California delegation
and those from the far western
states are expected Monday night or
Tuesday morning. Present eNpecta-
tons are that the convention will
be made up of about 400 delegates,
with an equal number of visitors.
DR.. Clinton N. Howard, chairman
of the National Reform association,
wko has been mentioned in connee-
tion with the presidential nomina-
ton, made three addresses today,
taking for his subject missing
Planks of the Political Parties" J.
A. Murray. chairman of the Nebras-
ka prohibition committee, is quoted
as saying DR.. Howard will receive
the support of the Nebraska delega-
tion for the presidential nomination.
Vice Chairman Calderwood spoke
at a church mass meeting this aft.
crnoon on "How the Committee of
4S Met the Call"
His Heart in the Grave.
Mr.. Bryan should not allow his
heart to remain in the grave, Mr..
Calderwood said when shown
copy of Mr.. Bryan's periodical,
"The Commoner," in which the ed
itor had said that because of the
action of the national democratic
convention in turning down a dry
plank in its platform and nominat-
ing wet man for the presidency,
my heart is in the grave"
Mr.. Calderwood urges that the
president by the appointment of
law enforcement officials in synpa-
thy with the wet cause can make
the enforcement of the law a joke.

from participating in the activities Of
other churches. They say that until
the Community house is made entirely

any church in control, but directed en-

The reason for this, as explained by

Catholics cannot believe that one
