Psychologist Praises President
for Stand When Cranks Cried
War with Germany.
Pr?sident W;lson and Theodore
Roosevelt at candidatei for President.
It) Ifll and the German American de- i
cidmg *he election Is the vision which
Pi ?'???-?or Hugo Muentterberg. of Har?
vard, outlines in this week's Issue o*
"The Fa'herland."
"Th.? German-American*, will faith?
fully think of their oa?h of allegiance
and understand that they serve Amer?
ica best if they choose at Pretident
the man who will most sorely keep
thit land from any racial struggle," i
the Cambridge psychologist writes. !
"Their tyrr.bol Is the hyphen. Any.
candidate will be doomed who ?hanget
the hyphen into a dash. The dath i?
a sign of separation, but the hyphen ,
? always unite? "
Profeetur Muentterberg explains
I why, in spite of hi? alleged vittipera
.ioi.s ?gainst the German nation and
ift policie?. Colonel Rooeeve'.t it not
i as cordially .?i?ltked at he might be.
"Every American knows him," he
declares; "tome hate him; many love
him, but no one takes him without a
grain of salt. It would be simply
absurd to measure hit words by the
same scale as those of Root or Taft
St Wilson But the chief thing Is that
BO one would ?Ike hirr. other than he
, is. German-Americans must eerioue- !
ly regret Roosevelt'* having gone on |
the anti German path, but thev would
make fools of themtelves if they were ;
tS protest against the exaggerations;
of his a.itl-German exclamations. That:
Is hit temperament and his temper, ',
?he mott tuperflcial thing in the man."!
Colonel Not Paarrfraly Neutral.
Arcording to Professor MoOMtOT?
berg's letter, he has not the ?lightest
doubt that there could have been no
(.-renter f-ood for Germany, ?o far as
.merles IS concerned, if Roosevelt ha 1
been President in August, 1.11.
'Hit temperment never would have
allowed him to take the passive atti?
tude of real neutrality," he declares.
When England cu* the German cables
to America and made this nation de?
pendent upon the British censor, in
*hr?s?? decisive week? when American '
public opinion was to be formed, he
would have be?n found, not only ful
?:ng words, but means of ener?
getic action. He probably would have
threetened an embarco on arms if the
m *ans of communication from both
/erent ?irles were not put at the
service of the American nation at once, j
"The psychological equation of his
rersonali*-.-, however, mak.*? him a pro

hi? temper and perpetual desire to be
with the m?.?Fes makua him a pro
Ally."
There will be an Inner reorganiza?
tion In the I'nited States after the war,
JU-* as there will h? in the conflicting
? i, according to the writer. In
reorganization Professor Muens
-, America will imbue the
? itioi wits Gorman ideals.
In the outcome of the struggle he sees
?" . ,..:d profit [flg
politically, the United States fin;?
ly. and Germany culturally, which
means morally
German-Americana a Power.
"The future of t?iesa United States,
therefore, mutt be put into the hand'
of men whose Inmost minds are tuned
to this great moral message," says Pro
feseor Muensterberg. "Among the pres?
en' day politicians not one is so well
prepared SS Kuosevelt to hear this new
Call m send the message ringing
through the nation.
"If the Gi rman-Amerieans tee the
small things small and the great things
great they will not stumble over ad
?i three," he adds, showing hie per?
sonal l?anme toward the Sachem of
Sagamore Hill at the 1911 Presidential
possibility.
Regarding President Wilson's ttanl
lng in the German-American ?ye, Pro
fettor Muentterberg writes:
"Above all they oaght not to forget
tiiat war was on the threshold of tha
American land and it was Woodrow
in who thirst it out. He stood for
peace when fanatics cried for war
against Germany. Every German-Amer?
ican ought to be thankful for that an I
i .s*ht not to be oversensitive when the
Pretident sometimes exaggerates his
complaints with a phraseology which
reminds the rerder of his martial op?
ponent.
"Finally, Wilson's preparedness pro
gramma corresponds surely to the tra?
ditional Ideas of the German-Ameri?
cans about the duties of the individual
to the state. Wilson and Roosevelt
both are only possibilities for tho
German-American voter, and their
words and actions in the next ten
months must decide whom they will
elect. , .
"The Presidential election of next1
November will be decided by the <>*i
m*.i-Americnns, and both sides know
it. The German-Americans will show a
strength of which no one had any idea
? at .he laet election. The more the
German-Americans have to suffer the
more decisive in tho next election they.

^IE WALKUERE"
AT METROPOLITAN
Wagnerian ?Music-Drama
Given Under Artur Bo
danzky's Direction.
"Pie Walk?re" was tung last night at
the Metropolitan Opera House for the
r.rst time this teason. Mr. Bodaniky
conducted.
It wat not expected that the new
conductor would prove le?e tucce?sful
in "DU Walkuii" than be had In "I
terdimssersng?" and this expectation
- ? i ?ell grounded. Mr. Dodanshy
ref IMS to treat Wagnerian mutic
drama as orchestral concerts in which
? ? -.cer? are merely additional ;n
itrunents. He uiforaly hoops the
?ration down so?
can be heard without their undue forc
lag I| he rose last Bight t.i no great
emotional heights, his reading ot the
?ere was one full o: sympathy and
imaginative insight
The Rrur.lv.:?.e was Mme. Margarete
Matsonanor, and this remarkable
despite the fa??*, tiiat the music
les high for her roieOi again gave
proof of her unusual powers,
Kurt was not at her bett as
Sit-g'.inde. though her beautiful vmre
- gives pleasure.
Mr. Sembach sang unevenly as Sieg
mund, though at times he sang ?-xeeed
ingly well.
Carl Braun Is always an excellent
Wotan, but last night there was a hus
kiness in his voice.
There was a new Hunding In Henry
Scott, and an excellent one. Mr. Scott's
voice admirably suited the part and
he made of the character a truly ein
ister figure.
Last Bight- "Walk?re" was an excel
lent all-around presentation ?if the
Wagnerian music drama. If at no one
point it reached great i mug-native
ti. ghts, " was none the les- a per?
formance which brought tffod t to its
producers. This was the ca?t:
