Grew, counsellor to United States embassies, For nine years as secretary to Am ‘assador Gerard, Dr. Grew lived in Berlin, in the very thick of the Hun intrigue. He learned to know these! ‘people from public and private con-| fact ‘as probably no other American knows them; he brought to the study of German character a mind trained | in research, prepared to retain vivid impressions, and this is what hej ‘found: i Dr. Grew opened his address by leading up to the present world’s war. “Do you know why we are in this war? Do you know why we are fight: ing Germany, what kind of an enemy/ we are fighting against, what will hap- pen if we don't win? These are pret- ty serious questions nowadays and} every man and woman in this coun-/ try is perfectly justified in asking| them and is entitled to get a perfect-| ly clear and reasonable answer in re-| turn.

The pledge card which is to be Anti-American Sentiment. | Referring to Berlin's attitude to-) ward America, Dr. Grew said: | “There was no use in trying to com-| bat this anti-American sentiment, ex~| cept in so far as we could show our: country’s attitude in the course of personal conversation, which always! ended in a dead-lock. The German| embassy in Washington had been in! @ position to conduct a press cam- paign throughout the United States—} with what eventual result is known to you. The American embassy in Berlin was relieved of the necessity of even considering the advisability of, such procedure, for the German press is carefully controlled and muz- zled by the government, and if the government was deliberately filling) the press with anti-American material, | it was unlikely that it would permit it at the same time to publish pro: American copy issuing from the Amer- ican embassy. The people of Ger- wants them to believe, no more, no; less. .1.othing could have been more) ludicrous than the complete volte-| fact of the German press a year ago} last spring, when we delivered our ultimatum after the Sussex disaster and the German government decided to accept our terms. One day the} German press had been venting all its| fury upon us for putting a spoke in their wheel and handicappns their; submarine warfare; the most scurril-' ous terms were being use: against} the president, the government and the} people of the United States. The! next day, when Germany had given in, | thé whole press was saying: ‘Well,| after all, we want to play the game! fair. Perhaps our submarine policy| was a little rough after all. i “I was speaking about the increas. ing hostility in Germany towards Am erica and the Americans, During the first year of the war my wife offered! her services to the German Red Cross! to serve tea and cigarettes to wounded | German soldiers at a so-caled after-| noon Kriegsheim.
