France is defeated and the battle-ground in western Europe is in such a condition that Germany can now recall great numbers of troops to meet the Russian invasion, according to Count von Bernstorff's belief.

Justliies Bomb Throwing, The Ambassador was positive in his stand for the justification of bomb dropping upon fortified cities.

*Dropping bombs upon Paris is certainly justifiable," he said. "The same motive exists &8 in the case of Antwerp., Fortresses are to be attacked. Non-belliger- ents should leave a threatened city. I hold that the burning of Louvain was justified-wae invit ed by the mistreatment received by the German soldiers from civilians. ln the effort to mitigate the horrors of war it has been agreed that only soldiers of one nation should fight against the soldiers of another nation."
