Of the submarine warfare, Eraber- ger says: "1 foretold from the first that It waa bound to fall, and the results have con firmed my skepticism. The political consequences of this war, which my opponents make little of, were ex posed by me aa early aa October, 11(, during the debate In the main com mittee of tbe'relchatag. I declared then that war with the United States would be the Inevitable consequence, and that other neutral countries would also declare war against us. My dec larations In July, 1917. concerning the submarine war were reinforced and verified."
