Image title: Bernstoff's brag may be answered by war'. 'Count Bernstorff, the German Ambassador in America - the man who publicly advertised that the Lusitania would be sunk - has eclipsed all his previous braggart acts by threatening the American nation. His answer to American protests over the sinking of the 'Arabic' is: "If diplomatic relations are broken off German submarines will sink everything they see". It may be that this insult to America will prove the last. The United States is nearer to war than ever before - and all real Americans are ready for it. Johann Heinrich Graf von Bernstorff (14 November 1862 - 6 October 1939) was a German politician and the ambassador to the United States and Mexico from 1908 to 1917.
