GERMAN COUNCILLOR WHOSE "DAMN-NEUTRALS" POLICY, ONCE
REJECTED, HAS BEEN ADOPTED.
Extermination of ' German People
Never Contemplated by Allies,
Says Sir Robert Cecil in.
Reply to Chancellor.
LONDON, March 16. iord Robert
Cecil, the British blockade Minister, to
night made reply to the latest utter
ances of Dr. von Eethmann-HsUweg,
the German Imperial Chancellor, in a
statement to the Associated Press.
"The German Chancellor says Ger
many in the past renounced the unre
stricted use of her submarine weapon
in the expectation that Great Britain
could be made to observe in her block
ade policy the laws of humanity and
international agreements," said Lord
Kobert. "It is difficult to say whether
this statement is the more remarkable
fpr its hypocrisy or for its' falseness, i
Has the Chancellor forgotten that
the German forces have been fullty of
excesses in Belgium unparalleled in
history, culminating in the attempted
enslavement of a dauntless people;- or
poisoning wells, - of bombarding . open
towns, torpedoing hospital ships, and
sinking other vessels with total disre
gard for the safety of non-combatants
on board, with the result that many
hundreds of innocent victims, includ
ing both women and children, have lost
their lives?
Previous Boast Cited.
"The latest manifestation of this
policy is to be seen in the devastation
and deportations carried out by the
Germans in their forced retreat on the
Western front. The Chancellor says
it is because the allies have not aban
doned their blockade and have refused
the ap-called peace offer of Germany,
that unrestricted submarine warfare
now is decided on. As to this, I will
do no more than quote what the Chan
cellor himself said in the Reichstag
when announcing the adoption of un
restricted submarine "war.
"He said that as soon as he him
self, in agreement with the supreme
army command, reached the conviction
that ruthless U-boat warfare would
bring Germany nearer to a victorious
peace, then the U-boat warfare would
be started.- He continued:
" 'This moment now has arrived. Last
Autumn the time was not ripe, but to
day the moment has come when, with
the , greatest prospect of success, we
can undertake this enterprise. We must
not wait any longer. Where has there
been a change? In the first place, the
most Important fact of all is that the
number of our submarines have been
very considerably increased as com
pared with last Spring, and thereby a
firm basis has been created for suc
cess.' U-Boat War Planned In 1814. '"
"Does this not prove conclusively
that it was not any scruple or any rer
pect for international law or neutral
rights tht prevented unrestricted war
fare from being adopted earlier, but
Merely a lack of means to carry out?
I think it may be useful' once again
to point out that the illegal and inhu
man attack on shipping by the Germans
cannot be Justified as a reprisal for
the action of Great Britain in attempt
to cut off from Germany all imports.
"The submarine campaign was clear
ly contemplated as far back as De
cemeer, 1914, when Admiral von Tlrpitz
gave an indication to an American
correspondent in Berlin of the pro
jected plan. As for the plea that the
allies are aiming at the annihilation
of Germany and her allies, and that
ruthless warfare is, therefore. Justi
fied, It is sufficient, in order to refute
this, to quote the following passage
rrom the allies reply of January 10,
1917, to President Wilson's note:
" 'There is no need to say that if
the allies desire -to liberate Europe
from the brutal covetousness of Prus
sian - militarism. ' the extermination
and political disappearance of the Ger
man people have never, as has been
pretended, formed a part of their de
sign.' "The allusion made to- Russia by
the German chancellor can hardly be
treated seriously. A government of
Hohenzollerns cannot pose as the
champions of freedom and self-government
as aganist autocracy. When the
German people enjoy the 'benefits of
a truly representative government and
are no longer dominated by a military
autocracy, Germany may appear In that
role but not till then."

Doctrine of "Damn Neutrals; Win
the War," Advanced by von Falk-

ed by Great Headquarters.
(Continued From First Page.)
situation more cleverly- than Falken
hayn would have done. Tirpltz and
Falkenhayn advocated reckless subma
rine warfare a year ago. They were
willing then to have America aa an
enemy. But the chancellor and Hinden
burg believed that if the United States
entered the war then, their chances of
a military victory this Summer would
be nil. Their policy was to encourage
the United States to believe that Ger
many would not renew her submarine
policy.' Germany desired time to pre
pare for America. German shipping
interests were not ready to scuttle
their ships. Germans with relatives in
the United States were not prepared to
disregard them. The press bureau
needed time to create hatred and sus
picion. The navy department needed
time to build more submarines. Crews
had to be trained. Preparations had to
be made for the "decisive battle in
1917." So HIndenburg delayed. The
censorship prevented the correspond
ents from sending any news to the
United States about the growing wrath
and bitterness toward - President Wil
son. When many of the American cor
respondents realized that Germany in
tended to break the promises she made
in the Sussex note, their telegrams
were stopped. They were criticised and
suspected for trying to send such news.
Ominous Change Comes. "
Last October I saw the first signs of
a change in Germany's policy. At that
time I spent 10 days traveling in the
Rhine Valley. I met the industrial lead
ers. I visited Krupps and other muni
tion, steel and coal centers. In Dues
seldorf. the great steel city, the Pitts
burg of Germany, I heard the demands
of the financiers and industrial mag
nates for "war with America."
"What can the United States dor
these men asked. "You have no army.
Tour country is divided. The German
Americans are too powerful for Wilson.
The moment you attack us. Mexico will
revolt. Before you can train an army
and transport 4t to Europe we can end
the war. President Wilson bluffs and
our government is afraid; but same day
America wlllsee!" -,
I telegraphed as much of this com
ment from Cologne and Duesseldorf as
the censors would " pass. When I
reached Berlin the foreign office was
excited because the Rhine Valley cen
sors had passed this Information. The
foreign office wanted no such news to
reach America. '
The Chancellor still had one card to
play. ' He thought he could frighten
President Wilson into making peace by
threatening a submarine warfare. Then
internal conditions became so bad he
had to do something toward peace to
quiet the Socialists and to obtain the
support of the wavering Reichstag fac
tions. On December 12 he proposed
peace. The army and navy were fran
tic. They didn't want peace. They
wanted submarine war. HIndenburg
and the Chancellor knew the allies
would not accept, so they explained to
the submarine advocates that if the
allies refused Germany's offer they
would begin FaJkenhayn'o policy of
''Damn the neutrals! Win the war!"
The Foreign Office was instructed
the latter part of December to "sound'
all Americans in Germany on the possi
sible attitude of President Wilson and
Congress In case a ruthless murdering
and sinking of people and ships was
begun on the high sea's. I was called
to the Foreign Office, as were all other
Americans, including James W. Gerard,
the American Ambassador. The first
question I was asked was:
"Do you think the United States will
support President Wilson if he breaks
diplomatic relations?" Then these ques
tlons followed: "What attitude will the
German-Amerioans taker' ""Will the
United States send troops to Europo?'
"Can Wilson count upon the support of
Congress?
- To the man who questioned me I re
plied: .
"You will find that If Germany be
gins a ruthless submarine warfare the
President will be backed by the entire
Nation in anything he -does."
Not all Americans in Germany made
such replies. Dr. William Bayard Hale
wrote a booklet, which was circulated
through Germany by the Foreign Of
fice, showing why Congress would not
support Wilson. Other Americans as
sured the Foreign Office that even Am
bassador Gerard was misinformed and
that Congress would not support Wil
son. The constantly repeated opinion
was: "The German-Americans are too
strong. , The Middle West is for peace
at any price."
One das, Ambassador Gerard was
walking. A friend stopped him and
said:
"Certain high officials have told me
500.000 German-Americans will revolt
if Wilson goes to war."
"Go tell your high official friend."
said Gerard, "that there are 601,000
lampposts in the United States and 80.
000.000 loyal Americans."
Congress is about to convene. Ger
many has her eyes on Washington.
Every member of Congress who stands
against the President will be looked
upon in Germany as an ally. Germany
believes she has millions of friends
here. She has believed this for two
years. She has been ready to disre
gard America for two years because she
believed the United States was divided.
Only a unanimous America will con
vince Germany that her policy of
Damn the neutrals!" Is a fatal one to
adopt toward America.
Germany looks forward to a military
victory this Summer. She counts upon
victory before America acta. .

mony that the late Frederick William
Sharon announced his willingness in
the Summer of 1892, following a stormy
scene in the Palace Hotel, San Fran
cisco, to adopt Frederick Wallace
Sharon, was given today In the hearing
of Sharon's suit to establish claim to
a half Interest in the late millionaire's
estate. The witness was. Mrs. Ada
Kellenberger. of Oakland.
Mrs. Kellenberger testified that she
accompanied the . younger Sharon's
mother to the Palace Hotel to get the
older Sharon to guarantee the board
of Mrs. Sharon's children, one of them
the present claimant. There was a
violent scene, she said. In which the
elder Sharon said he would give Mrs.
Sharon no money and would give
nothing toward the support of her
children.
"He said that he was willing," Mrs.
Kellenberger testified, "to adopt Fred
erick Wallace Sharon, because he was
a Sharon and the others were not. He
said he was willing -o bring Fred
erick up as a Sharon and educate him."
William J. Heney and George S.
McComb, Deputy County Clerks at the
time . of the- alleged adoption, to the
fact of which they testified yesterday,
were recalled for further cross-examination.
.LONDON. March 80. In an attempt
today In thw Reichstag to defend him
self and his actions in regard to the
recent plot against the United States,
in which he hoped to procure aid from
Japan, and Mexico, . Dr. Alfred Zlmmer
mann. Minister of Foreign Affairs, said
that "the United States cannot oeny our
right to "seek allies when it. already
before war has been declared, set the
entire .world against us."
Dr. Zimmermann, Justifying the pro
cedure of seeking to make Mexico and
Japan her allies, contended that
Mexico obviously was an. ally and that
the antagonism between America and
Japan was stronger than between wr
many and Japan, despite the fact that
a state of war existed between them..
Reuter's Amsterdam . correspondent
sends the following concerning the ad
dress of Zimmermann:
Socialist' Demands Explanation.
Hneo Hasse. leader of the Socialist
minority In the Reichstag, remarked
that the German offer of an alliance
With Mexico had aggravated the situ
ation with -the United States, and Dr.
Zimmermann replying, said:
I wrote no letter to General t-ar-
ranza. I was not so guileless, i mere
ly addressed by a route that appeared
to me to be a safe one instructions to
our representative in Mexico. It is
being Investigated how these instruc
tions fell Into the hands of the. United
States authorities.
" 'I' instructed the Minister to Mexico.
in the event of war with the United
States, to propose a German alliance to
Mexico and simultaneously to suggest
that japan join tne alliance. x De
clared expressly that despite the sub
marine warfare, we hoped Americans
would maintain neutrality.
Carrtma might Yet Be Ignorant.
. " 'My Instructions, were to be carried
out only after the United States de
clared war and a state of war super
vened. I believe the instructions were
absolutely loyal, as regards the United
States. General Carxanza. up to the
present, would have heard nothing of
it if the- United States had not pub
lished the instructions, which came into
its hands in a way which was not un
objectionable. Our behavior contrasts
considerably with the behavior of the
Washington Government.
" 'President Wilson, after our note of
January 31. 1917, which avoids all ag
gressiveness In tone, deemed it proper
immediately to break off relations with
extraordinary roughness. " Our Ambas
sador no longer had the opportunity to
explain or to elucidate orally' our atti
tude. The- United w States Government
thus declined to negotiate with us. On
the other hand, it addressed Itself im
mediately to all the neutral powers to
induce them .to Join the United States
and break with us.
" 'Every unprejudiced person must
see In this the hostile attitude of the
American Government which seemed to
consider It right, before being at war
with us, to set the entire world against
us. It cannot deny us the right to seek
alUes when it has itself practically de
clared war on us.
Underwood's Words Recalled.
Berr Haase says it caused great in
dignation, in America. Of course, in
the first instance, the affair was . em
ployed as an Incitement against us.
But meanwhile the storm abated slow
ly and the calm and sensible politicians
and also the great mass of the Ameri
can people saw 'there was nothing to
object to in these instructions in
themselves. I refer especially to the
statements of Senator Underwood. Even
at times newspapers felt obliged to ad
mit regretfully that not so very muoh
had been made of this affair.
"I was reproached for thinking of
Mexico and Japan as allies, First of
all, Mexico was a neighboring state
to America. If we wanted allies against
America, Mexico would be the first to
come Into consideration. The relations
between Mexico and. ourselves since
the time of Porfirio Diaz have been
extremely friendly and trustful. The
Mexicans, morever, are known as good
and efficient soldiers.
- "It can hardly be said that the re
lations between the United States and
Mexico have been friendly and trustful,
but the world knows that antagonism
exists between America and Japan. I
mean that these antagonisms are
stronger than those which, despite the
war. exist between Germany and
Japan.
"Japan and Mexico Alike."
When I also wished to persuade Car-
ranza that Japan should Join the alli
ance there was nothing extraordinary
In this. The relations between Japan
and Mexico are long existent. .. The
Mexicans and Japanese are of .a like
race and good relations exist between
both countries.
. "When, further, the entente, press
affirms that It is shameless to take
away allies, such reproach must have a
peculiar effect coming from powers
who, like our enemies, made no scruple
in taking away from us two powers and
peoples with whom we were bound by
treaties of more than 80 years. The
powers who desire to make pliant an
old European country of culture, like
Greece,, by unparalleled and violent
means, cannot- raise such a reproach
against us.
"When I thought of this alliance with
Mexico and Japan I allowed myself to
be guided by the consideration that
our brave troops have to fight against
a superior force of enemies, and my
duty is, as far as possible, to keep fur
ther enemies away from them. That
Mexico' and Japan suited that purpose
even Herr Haase will not deny.
"Thus, I considered It a patriotic duty
to release those instructions, and I hold
to the standpoint that I acted rightly.'
The emergency budget voted yester
day, -the dispatch adds, authorized the
Imperial Chancellor to meet the current
expenditures of the empire for April,
May and June. .
.The Reichstag continued the debate
on the Foreign Office budget today -
A bill providing for a reduction of
the minimum penalties for violation of
military law has been introduced In the
Reichstag and referred to committee.
The measure has met with general ap
