During this living in a state of mental tension, of which you can form no idea. Upon the wind-swept, snow-heaped crests of the Carpathians the troops of Ger many, Austria and Hungary—shoulder to shoulder have maintained for months amid unspeakable hardships a wonderful resistance to the Russian masses, pushed against them with an utter disregard of human life. "Men are the cheapest thing we have," said recently a Russian general. In fact, day after day and night after night hundreds of thousands of the soldiers of the pitiless Grand Duke were driv en forward in successive lines, like billows of the sea, so that the last, at least, might scale the corpses of its predecessors, force a passage at all costs, and pour triumphantly through vanquished Hungary. The prize—the actual object of the war—the form ing of a vassal Balkan State and the possession of the Bosphorus, appar ently justified in the mind of the Rus sian commander any massacre. But, thank God, we have finally—yet at what a cost!—repelled these number less invaders. The human dyke, which could alone preserve us from destruc tion, has not given way. But, now when our brave men who have sur vived, stand panting, bleeding, but victorious on the eastern slopes of the Carpathians, and we can deem ourselves secure, why do we hear from you no word of joy, or message of congratulation? Does not your British master let you know the news? Perhaps that can explain your silence. I fear, however, that, having cast in your lot with the Allies, you must re gret that the appalling Slavic inroad has been checked, and would have actually rejoiced, had it succeeded. Yet you are perfectly aware of Rus sia's history. You have read Ken nan's revelations, Kropotkin's horrify ing statements, and the recent stories of the Pograms. You cannot serious ly believe that because this semibru tal nation has become temporarily the ally of England it is today essentially different from what it was before. Up on my table lies a letter from a Ger man naval officer, written in Memel. With it he sent me several newspa pers published there immediately after the expulsion of the Cossacks. I have also the description of the explorer, Sven Hedin, who arived in Memel the day after the Russians left A friend of mine here, who was born in Memel, has received letters lately written from that pretty city. Do you know what those vermin-infested« physically di seased beasts did in Memel? Do not be alarmed. am not going to relate it. But from the admirable letters of Herbert Corey, the American correspon dent of the Cincinnati "Times-Star," you can form some idea of the condi tion of other places and people visit ed thus by the Russians. The point is, thait much as you would deplore such horrors, this is one of the ar mies which you are hoping will ride over and subdue us. So you begin to see why we can hardly write to you "just as formerly?" In the Trenches of Flanders. In those trenches stand today—un less American bombs or dum-dum bullets have killed them—many young men whom we admire and love. They include musicians, artists, scientists, students and professors. Opposed to them, at a distance of a few meters, are Senegal negroes, Indians, Turcos and Algerians—fighting for civilization of course—against whom these refined and rarely gifted youths must fre quently contend in hand-to-hand bayo net fights! If these young Germans are spitted und stabbed to death by those savages, some of whom are ap parently first cousins to gorillas, you must logically rejoice. You hope that they, and those who infamously called them there, will carry freedom and civilization over the Rhine to Heidel berg and Bonn! What you are prac tically saying is: "Anything is good enough to kill a German." Can you expect us, to whom such a result would be heart-breaking and abhor rent, to feel the same cordiality to ward you, while you hold such senti ments? Would that you understood the German spirit! These men, in spired by their love of country, need no cheap appeals, such as are pla carded on English walls and tram cars, imploring citizens to enlist in Kitchener's army. Besides the sol diers liable to service, hundreds of thousands of young Germans have vol unteered to drive the advancing foes from their loved fatherland, singing the noble German songs, which have such thrilling words as "Gott schuetze uniser theures geliebtes Vaterland," "Haltet aus, haltet aus," "Fest steht und treu die Wacht am Rhein," or "Eine feste Burg ist unser Gott." Through cannon's deafening thunder peal, Through charges against walls of steel, Through blazing street and flooded field, With courage that will never yield Thy sons go, singing, to their doom— The fatherland's immortal bloom! We are simply dumbfounded at your attitude toward that arch-hypocrite among the nations, whose monster empire is based on ruthless conquest, and whose record in opium-cursed China, in starving India, in the con centration camps of the Boer repub lics, in ruined Ireland, and even in Ame¥l6a, is aft everlasting disgrace. You know *hat ehe to trying to staürr« our two beleagured empires and to deprive our millions of noncombatatit* of the necessities of life. Yet you wonder that we retaliate and warn all merchant ships, under penalty of destruction, not to bring food to her! You know that England rides rough shod over the rights of neutral na tions, that she even dares to hold up and to confiscate United States mail and, if she likes, suppresses cable grams from America to neutral lands like Switzerland! Moreover, the Eng lish censor regulates your news! The American correspondent, Colonel Em erson, sent seventy-eight cablegrams to the United States in the first months of the war. Only three went through unchanged, and these told of German reverses a fourth was fal sified and .seventy-four were suppress ed. What cowards you are to submit to this! Do not say that we, who are temporarily residing here and have not hurried home through fear, are un-American." We are infinitely more American than those of you who have not still enough of the old spirit of your fathers to resent such action from that unchanged tyrant of the seas, whom they twice fought victor iously. You have—and you deserve to have—the contempt of the world. Think of it—through fear of England —the Boston postoffice has refused to forward to me, even at the sender's risk, a little package of tea, although whole shiploads of guns and ammuni tion are meanwhile on their way to France and England! England is treating you as she did in 1812. Sh6 is today lampooning the German Em peror as she ridiculed and insulted Abraham Lincoln in our Civil War. She bullies you, snubs you, ruins your commerce, humiliates you in the eyes of European neutral nations and even of the Allies, and save for a few cou rageous men like Governor Colquitt of Texas, you sit there hypnotized by such silly words as "Militarism" and "Bernhard!," and kiss the hand that cuffs you. Thank God. you are not all so. Friends write me that there are really millions there who think as we do, and I read with joy of such Ame ricans of British descent as Quincy Adams of Boston, and Professors Hall, Wheeler, Sloane and Burgess, who are advocates of the Teutonic cause. I need not say that those of you who recognize the truth about these em pires and wish for their success, were never so dear to us as now. We love you and are grateful to you for every word and act of sympathy. God Mess you! The Shipment of Arms. But the story is not ended. More than 86 per cent, of the wounds and deaths now caused in the ranks of German, Austrian and Hungarian troops are the result of bombs and bullets sent from the United States! You know in your hearts that this makes your assertion of neutrality a mockery, and exposes the President and the nation to unmitigated scorn. The United States by its continual enormous shipments of arms, horses ammunition to the Allies has Mde itself one of the principal par tiqbanits in this hideous war, a»d on ly 'for the advantage of one side. Uni ted States Senator Clapp of Minne sota has rightly said: "The spectacle of the United States sending shiploads of food and clothing to the orphaned and widowed people of Europe, and at the same time sending shiploads of guns and ammunition to make more widows and orphans, is one of those grotesque contrasts that we sometimes find. There is so much money invest ed in the making and the sale of arms and war munitions that we have sim ply been powerless to get anywhere with the bill." I will not accuse all of you of sanc tioning this inhuman prolongation of the carnage, but are you doing any thing to prevent it. You do not need a precedent, but if you want one, you can find it in the law of the 20th of April, 1818, which has never been abrogated, and on which, if I am not mistaken, Theodore Roosevelt based his action at the outbreak of the Rus so-Japanese war. This law forbids the sending of weapons to belligerents. At this time every neutral country, except the United States, has placed an embargo on munitions of war. Besides all this, President Wilson's own declaration of neutrality: "We must be neutral in fact as well as in name, and we must put a curb on every transaction, which might give preference to one party in the strug gle over another." If, however, you do approve of this infamy, you cannot escape the fact that you are thus contributing enor mously to the massacre of thousands, and are adding daily to the appalling number of desolated homes. You are, in fact, the silent partners of the Cossacks and the cannibals from the Fiji Islands. The wretched excuse that "business is business" is a piti ful confession of the lowest of ideals. But even on that level America, as a whole, is losing millions steadily, that only a few may become rich. Logically, also, if you wish Ger many and Austria to be defeated, I suppose you are glad to see at this juncture a hitherto neutral nation stab us in the back, so as to "finish" the thing up quick!" If you have read Prof. Ferro's article in the "Atlantic Monthly" for April, you mist have felt, I think, some pangs of con science. The Professor admits that it will be (not the words) "hard to invent" a cause for attacking an ally of thirty years. He even confesses that the lands which he cynically de scribes as "Italian provinces." never belonged to Italy. They are coveted, because so many immigrants from his country have been allowed to settle there, that the language of the pro lific settlers has become the domi nant one! No historical claim, such as is made in regard to Alsace and Lorraine, exists, as an excuse for tak ing them. Moreover, the Professor al lows that all the industrial, commer cial and financial classes, as well as the clericals, are against the project. Can you imagine a greater crime than THE MONEY SAVING STORE are fulfilled, this may become a hell of devastated fields, burned houses, across the death-filled trenches in to ken of that old affection.
