The Worst Side of War.
in its effect upon political progress war often

CONTEMPT FOR AMERICANS
Its Presence Among Certain German
Critics Is Noted and Discussed.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I have observed, while listening
to conversations between so-called
German-Americans, a marked bitter?
ness and venom in their references to
Americans generally. Since it has been
revealed that Germany has lost caste
in the eves of the world because of the
il.- nisa,ne ruler -God's partner
his admiring subjects in this coun?
try manifest a contempt for Americans
almost as de?p ?s that held for the
uespised Briton.
The leiters to the newspapers bttray
this resentful attitude in a measure,
but one only has to listen to the talk of
these alleged German-American citi
lena to realize how general and con?
firmed is their mental attitude ton aid
the natives of their adopted country.
course, we grant that German
born citizens have a right to their feel?
ings and opinions although, just now,
no other country would permit their
freely mid we grant,
also, that German Kultur entitles these
self-appointed missionaries to influence
barbarian judgment, but I would like
to ask this very pertinent question:
Where would these alleged German
Americans stand in case the United
State? should he drawn into a conflict
with their dear Fatherland? Would
their ingrained reverence for Imperial
Wilhelm, militarism and German
Kultur be pi. mount over their obli?
gations as American citizens?
