In Berlin, Addams meets German chancellor, foreign minister, and pacifists
Description
Addams and Jacobs, as well as members of their entourage, are introduced to a German military officer at their hotel in Berlin who criticizes the United States government for selling war munitions to Britain and France. They also meet with a group of German pacifists, many of whom are members of anti-war group Der Bund Neues Vaterland, as well as Maximilian Harden, editor of Die Zukunft. The highpoint of the Berlin trip is Addams and Jacobs' separate meetings with German Foreign Minister Gottlieb von Jagow and Chancellor Theobald Bethmann-Hollweg. The chancellor informs the women that Germany will not request mediation, since doing so would be seen, wrongly, by England and France as a sign of Germany's weakness.
