THROUGH GERMAN EYES. THE FATHERLAND MUST WIN. 1 BECAUSE HER CAUSE IS JUST." JAPANESE SUPREMACY IN PACIFIC PREDICTED. New York, August 24. Count Bernstoff, the German Ambassador, interviewed, said Germany was bound to win, because her cause was just. Italy, he said, was not likely to take further action, but would remain neutral. The German people intended fighting to a finish. The (British Government had cut the cables to the United States, with the object of preventing news of German victories coming through. Concerning Great Britain's action in calling upon the Japanese, he said that doubtless they would talfe Iviao-Chao, owing to their preponderating numbers. Then Japan would haye the supremacy of the Pacific, to the detriment of the United States. Only five thousand German troops fought around Liege. The reports of a larger number were from* French sources, and were untrue. The taking of Liege by the Germans, he continued, was one of the greatest feats of arms in modern times.
