Capitolo 2

correspondent for the Press United inside the Central Powers.  In
Berlin, Vienna and Budapest I satisfied the government and taller officers,
men of principal business and financiers.  I knew Secretaries of Von Statale
Jagow and Zimmermann;  Von General Kluck that it drove the German before
army against Paris in August, 1914;  Von General Falkenhayn, first
Head of the Personal General;  Phillip Scheidemann, leader of the Reichstag
Socialist;  Accounts Stefan Tisza, Minister President of Hungary and Account
Alberto Apponyi.

While my head office both to Berlin, I took frequent trips to the
forehead in Belgium, France, Poland, Russia and Roumania.  Ten times that I was
on the battlegrounds during the important military appointments.  Verdun, the
Battleground of Sums, General offensive Brusiloff against Austria and
the invasion of Roumania, I almost saw as a soldier.

After the sinking of the _Lusitania_ and the beginning of critic
you report with the United States I was in continuous contact with James W.
Gerard, the American ambassador and the Foreign Office.  I followed
from near the effects of American political intervention up to February
10, 1917.  Frequent visits to Holland and Denmark gave me the
impressions of those countries respect to President Wilson and the
The United States.  En addresses to Washington with Ambassador Gerard, I met in
To drink of it, Paris and Madrid, officers and people that interpreted the
business in these countries.

Then, from the beginning of the war up to that today, I have been to the
strategic points like our relationships with Germany developed and they came to a
climax.  To the beginning of the war I was comprehensive with Germany,
but my understanding changed to disgust as I looked at developments to Berlin
you change the German people from citizens of world to scanty,
deceptive utensils of a merciless government.  I saw Germany banish
her.  I saw the effects of the notes of President Wilson.  I saw the
it publicizes anti-American it starts.  I saw Germany of 1915 disappear.
I saw the birth of illegal Germany.
