Show t Double Tongned Germans Excuse U-Boat Warfare COPENHAGEN, Oct. 11. Georg Bernhard, writing in the Berlin Vos-sische Vos-sische Zeitung, says that the submarine subma-rine warfare would never have been proclaimed if the German people had not been deceived and misled. Discussing Discuss-ing the peace steps taken at Washington Wash-ington in 1916 and 1917, the writer says: "If we had known that President Wilson had been continually requested to act as peace mediator and even that specified conditions had been submitted, submit-ted, our action would have been different. dif-ferent. Had we known that at the moment mo-ment unrestricted submarine warfare was declared, President Wilson had agreed to accept 'the role of mediator, the German people in the great majority ma-jority would never have tolerated a policy which brought upon them the reputation of being double tongued." All this, says Bernhard, goes far toward to-ward making President Wilson's sharp words understandable. "It also explains Ambassador Gerard's Ger-ard's unmeasured speech, when one recalls that the German government permitted him to make a friendly address ad-dress in the presence of high officials at the very moment when the subma-ripe subma-ripe campaign was already decided upon," he- concludes. oo A girl's corset is more Important than any other Item in her wardrobe. |
