BERNSTORFF TELLS HOW
HUNS LOST THE WAR
Berlin, Sept. 8.- -The new weekly.
“Twentieth Century,” publishes an
article bv Count Bornstorff in which
the former ambassador to Washington
indicates the opinion that Germany's
failure to understand the United States
was the worst mistake of the war.
“We lost, a moral victory through the
violation of Belgian neutrality.” the
article reads *’a political victory
through unrestrictimI submarine war
fare, and a military victory through
our nfTcusi ve t act ics.
“The worst political mistake of the
'sir was the importance of the United
Slates was not understood in Germany.
From the Lusitania episode until the
entrance of the United States into the
war, the. whole diplomatic battle de
pended upon this question. The Fn
lent.e knew the outcome of the war de
pended upon this, while Germany didn’t
realize, the. true slate of alia its

Mew Germany's Peace Policy
London, Sept. 4. -A German wireless
message states that in an interview
with Swiss and Scandinavian journal
ists new German foreign minister
pointed out that Germany signed the
peace treaty without arriere pensee.
*‘Th« German policy, ! he said.*‘is hon
est and Germany will endeavor to re
main in the future also the pattern of
the world from a social point, of view.
Her peace policy is quite independent
of her entry into the League of Na
tions. The league continues to hold
out war as a last, resort of international
law. but Germany desires to eliminate
war from the means allowed by inter
national law.”

i Almost 1 hear them speak the English

| When 1 return to them from some far
place;
! j he fi antic, tail, the upturned panting
face,

j Almost I hear the music of t heir speech,
j And I have seen sometimes in those

.Heartbreak and loneliness that still
defies
My groping hand outstretched to heal
the breach.
Theirs is a speech we humans do not
know;
Its letters we can trace as in a hook.
But for the word we must translate the
look.
And for the song, the eyes that ques

Mutely they watch me from another

While I stand silent, holding out my
