There is no evidence to show that this is being dona, "Diplomats and seamen regard the matter from an entirely different viewpoint, the former hoping to achieve j | their purpose by argument, fighti ing men knowing that force alone can | bring the war to a satisfactory conclusion. Count BernstofPs announce- | ments have been made for the purpose , of gaining time or influencing neutral opinion." '
