American Sentiment.
New York Worldly

kNeW tOrk "OfWJ
American opinion in regard to two vi
tai aspects Of the war has not been bet
ter expressed than by Oscar S. Straus,
former Ambassador to Turkey, and DR..
Charles w. Eliot, President Emeritus OF
Harvard.
Discussing the action of Great Britain
in defense Of the neutrality of Belgium,
Mr.. Straus said In an Interview in The
World yesterday:
"In my judgment, the reasons that
projected England into this war will be
OF the highest service to civilization 10
accentuating, a. nothing else could, the
sanctity Of international obligations. Ii
that sanctity had been disregarded by
her, as sanctity was disregarded by the
invasion of Belgium, international rela-
tionship would have been thrown back
to . condition Of international barbar-
Ism. The service that England has rem
dered is not only of value to the belliger-
eut nations, but equally so to all ma
tions."
Discussing the general aspects Of mill
tarism DR.. Eliot said in letter to the
Times:
"Should Germany and Austria Hun
gary succeed In their present uudertak-
ings, the whole civilized world would be
obliged TO bear continuously, and to an
ever-increasing amount, the burdens OF
great armameuts. and would live in con-
slant fear of sudden invasion, now here,
now there-a terrible fear, against
which neither treaties nor professions of
peaceabls intentions would offer the
least security"
Mr.. Straus and DR.. Eliot have given
voice to the moral sentiment of the
American people. They have said what
IL in the minds of most of us. II our
German friends will study these two
statements, they may, perhaps, under
stand why the United States thinks as it
thinks.

QUESTION CLEARED UP.
South Paris Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence.

Again and again we have read Of
strangers in distant towns who have been
cured by this or that medicine. But
South Paris's pertinent question has al
ways been HAS anyone here in South
Paris been cured?" The word of a
stranger living a hundred miles away
may be true, but 1t cannot have the same
weight with US as the word of our own
citizens, whom We know and respect, and
whose evidence we can so easily prove.
