In spit of th fact that during th

German Committee Says Unre
stricted U-Boat Warfare
Was Grave Mistake
( Berlin, July 19. Th report of th
second sub-eommitte of the committee
of investigation on President Wilson's
peae effort during the winter of 1918-
1917, prepared by Professor Einsheimer,
former Socialist member of the Beiehr
stag, draws tht conclusion that Presi
dent Wilson's action msdo peae over
tures possible, but that the German
government, not availing Itself of them,
instead took a stand for - unrestricted
U-boat warfare.
The report, made public here today,
ia signed by six members of ths differ
ent political parties. It is a grave in
dictment of Germany s military diet'
tors st tho time. The report shows how
the economists jof Chancellor Von Beth
mann-Hollweg's civil government, even
Dr. Karl Helfferich, then minister of
finance, did not believe unrestricted
U-boat warfare could enaure Germany
victory. As the gravest mistake, the
report mentions the fact that America's
resources . were completely underesti
mated. '
The report mentions " notably Von
Papon's message to Gen. Erich Von
Falkenhaya, former chief of the Oar
man staff, "if you fail to keep the Unl
