(A PAGE OF AMERICAN WAR NEWS. ~ GERMAN PEOPLE TRUST IN WILSON FOR LASTING PEACE: | READY 10 SACRIFICE KAISER : Henry C. Emery, Prisoner for ' Months, Says Only Military De- feat Brought Idea of Democracy to Teutons—Army Is Unhorsed. By Arno Dosch-Fleurot. | Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World). | COPENHAGEN, Oct. 26.—Henry CO. Emery, formerly head of the Tariff) Commission and representative of the Guaranty Trust Company of New| York, who was captured by the Germans in the Aland Islands while on! the way from Finland to Sweden early in March, has arrived in Copenhagen from Berlin. He has prepared the following statement for The Evening Worlé: | By Henry C. Emery Only one day out of Berlin, after seven months in Germany, where in the last four months I was at liberty to spend my time in a study of the | German people in the throes of a tremendous political struggle, I have | had a close-up view of what has lately transpired in that country. ‘When arrested I spent six weeks in a regular concentration camp, In) & dirty, chilly dugout. Then I was removed to Lauesburg in Pomerania, | where I remained for two months. In June I was permitted to go to Ber- lia, where I remained afterward. During this latter period the German people underwent a change of heart, in the direction of democracy and peace, Of course they were under the compulsion of a military situation, but it must not be supposed that the reason for the whole Liberal attitude in Germany to-day is merely a trick, put up to deceive the Allies into giving peace. The present attitude was | forced; had that not been so, democratic Germany would never have had a} hearing. Military defeat was necded to give the Liberal leaders ascendancy over the Junkers, If Germany had kept on winning, probably there never would | have been a democratic movement. Still, there had always been rather strong opposition to military Germany, but it was silenced. When Maximilian made his first tender, public opinion had not yet awakened to the fact that it was a move to prevent military disaster, It was only after President Wilson returned an answer and its sjncerity was recognized that the German people seemed to realize that, on the whole, in President Wilson lay their only salvation, At the same time, defeat followed defeat. The people then saw how success had blinded them. While undoubtedly defeat forced conversions of opinion, they now really want a fair peace, I spent my time mostly among Liberals in Berlin, but my judgment ts not based alone on what they said. One may feel a sense of humility now among the whole people, As early as June I heard the question asked: “Why are we hated?” avolded a reply, and the questioner said: “We are hated not only by the! Allies but also by the Austrians, the Bulgarians and the Turks. That is ‘what is the matter with u Recently I overheard a woman street car conductor say to an old man: “They say every people get what they deserve; we are getting \_ + deserts now.” UNHORSING THE GENERAL STAFF, This change of heart would not have come if the armies had not been beaten, but the people are better for it. One feels the growth of the| aew democratic sentiment in thousands of ways. There is freer talk and loss servility of inferiors toward superiors, Crowds go to hear the Liberal | speakers, It is in the air, and it has gone so far that Germany will prob- ably never go back. First, there has been a radical change in the political system. The civil Cabinet has already assumed control and it is unhorsing the General “Btaff, Such dictation as that at Brest, where the line was arbitrarily drawn for the frontier of Russia, could not now be repeated. Minister KuehImann was then helpless. The General Staff, which did as it pleased, is now de- feated aud discredited. There have been actual changes in fact, even when not in the actual form of laws. Anybody knowing Germany to-day is bound to credit the} statement in the last note from Maximilian that the personal and-arbi- trary powers that were formerly able to threaten the safety of the world ave now gone. If the Kaiser, as the head of this system, must go, for the good of | Germany or of the world, he will go. Few in Germany care anything | ‘about his dynastic privileges, except that his going might send things into chaos. President Wilson's power over German mentality came sudden!y, when | the people saw how seriously they had been misled regarding the power of | America and its motives. Recent revelations regarding the attempts of the American Government to act as peacemaker one year and a half ago have shown the Germans that America was acting in good faith, Until| recently they did not know that. | The German people now recognize that America was treated unfairly | when their Government decided upon unrestricted submarine warfare. | Change in the German attitude 1s really expressed in the peace notes. The German people have turned to President Wilson in the belief that | he ts the one great political leader who can be trusted to make a perma- nent peace which shall permit equal economic development, This public attitude came soon after the President's first note. The people are in a state of humility. They are willing to withdraw | from France and Belgium, to give up Alsace-Lorraine, to pay indemnity to | Pelgium and to admit that they have been wrong; but they wish to be| sure that no Allied troops enter Germany. They frankly admit that they do not want their cities to suffer what they made the French cities suffer. His second note came just before I left Germany, It did not cause the people to doubt the President's sincerity, but there were misgivings ‘woncerning his power to carry out his*principles, | ba Liberal leaders, while not wholly acceding to this public attitude, say|#. 325th Infantry, formerly of No, their hope of developing democracy depends upon the way the movement | India Street, Brooklyn, may be handled. They believe it has come to stay, if {t does not fall at once; but if, under a new democratic Government, Germany must suffer |is the way Corpl, Storrie won the | invasion, that would end democracy for a long time. They also wish to see humbled the false leaders who caused the disaster of a world war,| but they fear that Germany may be crushed at the same time, Major HW C. Eme sent to Russia in October, 1916, by the Guaranty Trust Company to make an economic survey, and where he waa attached to tho Ameri Military Mission, was for four years Chairman of the United States Taritt Bard under President Taft, He ts forty-six years old, a son of I, A, Emery. Justice of the Supreme Court of Maine, and w. graduated from Bowdoin College, afterward studying in Clermany. He lat became a professor In Bowdoin College and was professor of political econ- omy at Yale from 1900 to 1915, With Mrs Emery he started for Stockholm, Sweden, when the Germans made t!.eir drive toward Petrograd last February, He left Abo, Finland, in March for the Aland Islands, crossing to Ekeron on sledges, At Ekeron, despite protests of the Finnish Government, Major and Mrs. Emery were selzed by tlc Germans and Major Emery was sent a prisoner to Gor- many, Mrs Emery was released, however, and continued the journey in “accompany with other refugees. In Germany ho was kept on parole and was not confined in prison after @ few weeks, althoush he was forced to report regularly to the military au- tharttt: » Many offorts made for his release failed, and it was not until rgométy that he was Lermitted to make the trip to Copenhagen, A THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, “NEW YORK WOMEN WHO WON NATIONAL CANN NG PRIZES POO6ODO0 4. | i | -BO-9-9-99-9-99-99-9-9-2-9999-9-99 999-9H9FF-GH9O-05 99 > P8-992G H9d00 9990000000909 T 990500008 1918, BO4ODH44 D4.DOO4E sees boas beens BROOKLYN AIRMAN BATTLES WAY WI [BROOKLYN FLYER WHO WON | BRITISH GROSS, AND BRIDE | ELEVEN WOMEN GET BROOKLYN AIRMAN SHOT ons DOWN TWICE, UNINJURED | 3 290 ON CASUALTY LIST TO-DAY BRINGS TOTAL 1059987, | 11,361 Wiatent Been Killed in Ac- | tion and 5,623 Are Se- verely Wounded.

We disagrea, perhaps, as to the methods to be used in stamping it out. These are small matters involving things that can be adjusted.” Mr. Swann's statement was a sur- prise to some of his associates, who had predicted “freworks,” declaring that the Mayor “does not relish having his Police Department watched,” and charging that Assistant District Attor- ney James EK. Smith in some of his Saturday night raids in the white light district had been hampered by the po- lice, who “sent out word in advance that Smith was coming.” Mr. Swann yesterday announced that ho had received a letter from Mayor Hylan objecting to the raids made by Smith and Fred Whitin, See- retary of the Committee of Fourteen, and asking that the police be notified in advance when furtger raids were to be made. Mr. Swann added: “Lam not going to make the May- or’s letter to me public. If any one wants to know what the letter con- tains, let him ask the Mayor for a copy. It's interesting reading.
