NEW YORK, May 11.-Gernany
has given up all hope of obtaining
outside aid in the settlement of her

B. Haughton of Corning, N. Y,
American ambassador to Berlin, who

the George Washington today.
Germany is friendly toward the
United States" he said, but she no
longer looks on us. as country
which may help her. She realizes
that she alone can pull herself out of
the rut.
IT think Germany wants more than
anything else settlement of the
reparations question. But the Ruhr
situation undoubtedly has caused her
attitude toward France to change for
the worse.
Il don't think Germany is looking
for war or any kind of trouble, how
ever. She wants to work and work
peacefully. Unemployment is great
in Germany and is increasing rap
idly with the Ruhr situation on of
the greatest causes. Many persons
in Germany are on the ragged adge
of poverty and there is a real scar
city of food in some sections. Half
of the children in Berlin are tubercu-
lar as a result of privations. Their
milk supply is about one-fifth of
