KAISER I>n>NT CARE
Paid No Attention to President Wilson's
Offer.
President Wilson's peace offer was
a matter of little concern to the German
emperor, according to the evidence
presented before the subcom.mittee
investigating the war. Furthermore,
the intervention of the
United States apparently was not seriously
considered by the emperor.
The incident caused a sensation
and occurred during the examination
of Count Bernstoff, former ambassador
at Washington. The socialist
deputy, Dr. Sinsheimer, turned toward
Von Bernstoff, and said:
"The kaiser s telegram, to which
you refer dated January 16, (1917),
and addressed to Herr Zimmerman
(foreign secretary) says literally:
"His majesty instructs me to thank
. you ior your connuuuitawvii.
majesty does not care a bit about
President Wilson's offer.. If a breach
/ V -.V>.
with America cannot be prevented it
j - cannot be helped, events are developV
f, ing."
There was much excitement at the
hearing: when the message was read,
I>r. Karl Helfferich, former vice
chancellor, whispered 'nonsense."
b!?k3I *>r. Sinsheimer maintained that the
f peace conditions sent to President
. I' 'Wilson on January 28, 1917, which
'i ' were said to be the same as those
Germany offered on December 13,
1916, were really nothing like them.
Every one present appeared astounded
at this statement and Count
Yon Bernstoff exclaimed excitedly
"then I am told this today for the
first time."
Under cross examination Yon Bernstorff
quoted the German emperor

and Gen. Ludendorff on his (Bernfetorffs)

The emperor said Von Bernstorff had
failed on two points, first, in allowing
i the British to confiscate the trunk
with a Swedish diplomats papers
thought to contain his Mexican telegrams,
and, second by permitting
the United States to send James W.
! Gerard to Germany as ambassador.
Replying to another question the
former ambassador said:
"Without America's help the Entente
could not have vanquished GerT'

expects to refuse any shipments of- j
fered and will then go to the courts
for a determination of the question
of its right to refuse such shipments.
By this means it is hoped that the
national prohibition law may become
effective before the courts ren- j
ier an opinion, and the company will ;
then be relieved of its burden.
It is a matter of fact that the
A.merican Dress Company has long
regarded the liquor business as undesirable,
especially since several of
the states cut the supply down from
gallon lots.
The company claims, it is said, that
:he hauling of the quart packages
caused a loss of money through
Dreakage, stealage and the extra help
"equired to handle them.

may be still difficult for the old timers
