rion as to what happened TO the allies

II have witnesses who can give
some surprising testimony. I've done
countless things for the citizens OF
the occupied territories and ! firmly
believe their gratitude IS not dead"
The crown prince began 10 discuss
the propaganda campaign directed
against him during the war. with a
frankness which shows he has no IL
iusions about the stories circulating
about him.
As far as my responsibility for the
war Is concerned. that's too ridiculous.
In September. 1914. foresaw that the
war would be prolonged to infinite
length and made no secret Of my opin-
ion that 1t would be better 10 come 70
an understanding with our antagon-
lists.
Before the war 7 constantly urged
the conclusion OF a treaty with eithor
Russia or England. Such a treaty
would have prevented the war. But
my influence was not great enough 10
make this program erective.
I knew King Edward we'll and had
several conversations with him about
Angio-German relations. Germany is
pressing us too hard commercially he
complained. 1t must stop. or We Will
have TO put stop 10 it,.
The terms of the recent ultimatum |
show how thoroughly King Edwards |
program has been carried out.
If we had wanted war. why didn't
we precipitate II during the Boer war |
or the Rpsso-Japanese war? 1t is evil |
IDENTIFY a little known fact that before |
tho war France maintained a larger |
army than Germany. although France /
has a population OF approximately 45,-
100000 and Germany had nearly TO-
ooO, 900.
Bethmann-Hollweg insisted that
the 1aiser carry out his plans for
trip TO Norway despite the Sarajevo
murder. My father didn't wish TO
leave Berlin. but the chancellor ineist-
ed that as the trip had been announc-
ed a change OF program might arouse
suspicion in the neighboring countries.
My father has since bitterly regretted
he did not remain in Berlin at that
time. I am firmly convinced that his
presence in the German capitol in
those critical days would have made
It possible to have reached a PEACEFUL
settlement"

nerve yesterday when he appeared

Perhaps II was Mr.. Denby's huge
bulk that frightened Daniels, or
perhaps It was just awe that over

didn't ask the new Secretary of the
Navy any leading or embarrassing
questions when he accompanied the
