Denial Calilf Dnpatch to Tub Stx
Paiiis, Oct. 1R Judging by thu number
of articles devoted to it, thn German
appeal to the civilized nations, which Is '
signed by nlnety-threu Intellectuals, has J
aroused more Interest In France than any i
other protest against the war on behalf I
of Herman) !
Amung to-day's refutations of tho state-
mi nts In tho proclamation is one, by Yves
liiiyot, tho writer, who declares that the i
solidarity which the signatories eatub-1
llsh between flerniun militarism and Oer-,
man "kultur" is proof of tho confusion I
of Herman conceptions. M. Guyot says:
"To present Goethe, Heethoven and
Kant to the. world you surround Ihcm
with bayonets. Kvcry German manufac
turer nays: 'I have 4,000,000 bayonets
heh'nd me.' Tho Kaiser, when he hears
that bukinfss Is not flourishing, says: 'I
must travel.' Then he kocs to Constanti
nople, Tangier and elsewhere, altlrmlng
the subordination of iconomlc clvllliatlon
to niartl.il civilization, believing that at
the sword's point hn could prove thu viiluo
of German products."
William Loubut, the distinguished
Jurist, wilting on the same subject, points
out that thn appeal of tho Gorman In-i-lli
duals contains tin proof of any state
munt It makes lie di r lures that thu uh
'f Kant's nam was most Imprudi nt, n
