Dear Sir: In the face of this morn?

Germany, I feel impelled to write this
public letter to you. If I withlihold
my name from publication it is only
because n long friendship with the
members of your family makes in?
loath to wound them by a personal
nctc and because I am convinced that
I speak for a very large end almost
unanimous constituency. The ndniira:
tion for you wluch I, along with hun?
dreds of thousand:; of fellow-Ameri?
cans, have felt in the past lias been
gradually undermined by your failure
to be loyal to anyone but yourself.
Doth Presidents who have followed
you in the occupation of the most
onerous and responsible position in
the world today have suffered from
your attacks, both insiduous and open
The one an old friend and political
comrade; the other, a political oppo?
nent charged with a task beyond the
power of any human being to per?
form to the satisfaction of a criti?
cal and necessarily uninformed coun?
try, has never received from you ev?
en a suspension of comment, a gen?
erous thought or a helpful word,
have read your public utterances
faithfully and I can not recall one oc?
casion on which the winning of the
war has been put before politics, or
any evidence of loyal support of your
country in its travail has been shown
or has called forth that eloquence
anil force of speech which you have
not hesitated to employ to attack, to
weaken, to try to destroy.
The poison you distil is often dem?
onstrated. Rased upon your irre?
sponsible fulminations mistaken opin?
ions are formed doubts are created,
faith shaken. In the household of
your friends and family, who look up?
on you as an oracle in much the same
attitude of mind which inspires tho
entourage of the Kaiser, a fair esti?
mate of the accomplishments of the
present Administration is impossible
to attain. Intemperate language, the
result of conclusions drawn from in?
sufficient data and misinformation, is
all one ever gets. They relied you,
and you, apparently, nre not cauublc
of a just judgment. Your vision is
clouded by partisan prejudice and ig

noble jealousy Dint tho great war ?
drawing to a close successfully for
our arms without and even in suite
of your efforts. You arc reported in
the public press as having said in a
late speech at Oyster Day that the
resident's diplomacy was wo: so
than secret diplomacy, it was aim ?st
treacherous displomacy." All who
read those words must have burned
with raue and shame. Your sons have
gone to war. They went like count?
less other brave young men. You
I'gavo" them only in the sense that
you were proud and glad to have
them go. Theirs was the gift, nor
youi'3. How many other parents do
you think have done the same and
said nothing'.' -
Dut it is impossible for you to say
nothing about anything. In his last
fact lies perhaps the one thing which
renders you harmless and powerless
excepting to exasperate. We have
been so long anil so persistently inoc?
ulated by small doses of your venom,
sometimes fevered and distressed by
it, that when we are exposed now to
the disease of Rooseveltism we do noc
take it; we remain unoffected uiiu
healthy. Only we do protest that
such utterances as the one 1 have
citled as prejudiced, ignorant, unpa?
triotic and disloyal, nnd we ask that
for you own sake, and to preserve
that remnant of respect, which as a
former President we should like to
for you to retain.
