DIDN'T KNOW WAR WAS OVER Wilholm Refused Seriously to Consider Peril of Interven tion by America COMMITTEE IS AMAZED Uy the Associated Pi ess lterlln, Oct. IM. President Wilson's peace offer was a matter of little con cern to the German emperor, accord ing to evidence presented before the subcommittee investigating tne war. I'urtheimore, Intervention of tne United States apparently was not seriously considered by the emperor. The incident caused a sensation and occurred during the examination of Count on llernstorff, formerly German iimbas&ndoi at 'Washington, The So cialist deputy, Doctor Sitifcheimer, turned toward Von llernstorff and said: "The kniser's telegram, to which jou refei. dated January 10. 11117. and addressed to llerr Zimmerman, foreign secretary, feays liternllv : 'His majesty instruct, me to thank (vou for jour communication. Ills majesty does not care a bit about President Wilson's offei. If n breach with America cannot be prevented, it cannot be helped. Kveiita ure developing.' " There was much cieitemcut at the hearing when the message was read. Dr. Karl HellTerieh, tin former vice chancellor, whispered, "nonsense." Doctor Slnslieiuier maintained that the peace conditions sent to President Wilson on January US, 1017. which were said to be the same as those Ger many offered on December 1!1, 1010, were really nothing like them. Kvery one present appeared as tounded nt this statement, and Count von llernstorff exclaimed excitedly: "Then I ntn told this today for tho first. Count von llernstorff emerged un ruffled from the strenuous cross-cxaml-nntlon of the morning session, during which be lelternted bis opposition to .submarine warfare and declared he had constantly cabled lterlln to prevent it. Ho declared that Ucrmnny s rciusni ot President .Wilson's proposals wns the worst conceivable politics, lie Intl mnted thnt if bis advice had 6ecn fol lowed Germany would have had a bet ter peace than nt present. The former ambassador asserted thnt when President Wilson henrd thn); the I"-bont warfare was to begin his former attitude of good will toward Germany turned to stern ill-will. The Presi dent, he added, became convinced that Germany wanted a German pence and to rule the world, while President Wil son wanted n more lasting peace, with freedom of the bens. Tho subcommittees ndjourned until October .'SI, when Count von rietli-mnnn-Hollw'cg. tho former imperlnl chancellor, will be examined, mid if necessary, he confronted with Count von llernstorff.
