GERMAN ATTITUDE
American Ideas Gaining Favor in the Fatherland- Describes
 Friendship of Uncle Sam.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Dr. Theodore Earth, ex-member of the German reichs- tag and one of the most prominent po- Mtical economists of Germany, was the guest of dinner given in his honor last night by Oswald c. and Harold c. Willard. Mir. Oswald Willard presided, and among the guests were pr. Felix Adler, Professor Kuno Francke of Harvard, Edward M. Shepard, Rich ard Watson Glider, Jacob H. Schiff, Hamilton Holt, Herman Ridder, James Spsyer, St. Clair McKelway, Adolph s. Ochs and Gustav H. Schwab.
 Dr. Earth delivered an address, in
 which he referred to some of the events of his service as a Radical member of the reichstag, where he had been in opposition, especially against class and national prejudices. Dr. Earth sah in part:
 "A characteristic sign of democratic development in Germany is the grow ing interest for American institutions and American public life and the con stant increasing desire to be on good terms with the United States. Friend ship between the United States and Germany is at present a plank in the platform of every political party. and on this point even the Socialists agree with the kaiser. This country appear cd to our forefathers as the greatest domain of liberty, and the German Liberals of today still hope that this republic will not undeceive the believ- CTS in freedom and true civilization and that there never will die out the mo- ble ambition not only to accumulate material wealth, but to strengthen the moral forces which make for the last ing progress of humanity. Just now the forthcoming second Hague confer ence gives good opportunity of show ing earnestness in promoting those principles of civilization which beyond the narrow selfishness of nationalism go to the roots of international life.
 '"The law of nations is still very i'm perfect. Put into the law of nations the principle of the inviolability of pri- vate property at sea, just as 1t has been established for many years in wars on land, and you have removed one of the most expensive pretexts for the constant increase of naval arma- ments. No other nation is in better position to take the initiative for such an important reform than is the Unit ed States. I am sure Germany would follow immediately. This would be an occasion for President Roosevelt to show to the world that he twice merit ed the Nobel prize. am here In the midst of influential representatives of the public opinion of America, and I am sure that in thls distinguished cir cie there is not one man who would not be glad if the second Hague con ference would render such valuable service to mankind. It is still time enough to push this reform, and if the United States, England and Germany worked together for such reform the prestige of The Hague conference will grow enormously, the cause of inter national peace would advance and the way to disarmament would be much shorter. propose as my toast the CO., operation of Germany and the United States in the development of true civi- llzation and genuine peace"
