LESSON FOR AMERICANS
IN EUROPEAN CONFLICT

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUH-S,r. am
intensely interested in your recsrt edi.
toriaI suggesting that Democracy In al
STAKE IN the issues OF the European
war Lack OF authority TO centrallxa
power In emergencies" has been and ia
a weakness Of popular government; but
| should like 10 emphasize tho point that
IL ls not an Inherent or necessary wcnk-
ness. Ii is true that no American con
watch the next few months of European
history without concern" but then | re-
specially submit that the Lesson 10 learn
is not reversion 20 monarchy or oil
garchy whoever wins In Europe, but TO
learn how democracy can be made more
effective In America.
Our real danger. as the danger Of
popular government everywhere, Ia from
within. Not to dwell here upon the OBJ
Nous wisdom or establishing ana main
tanning sound internal policies and meas
ures, the special point which ! wish TO
bring To public attention. in line with
THE SUN editorial, is the necessity Of
maintaining an efficient government in
democracy; and this can be done only
by recognizing that there is Just as much
authority and power TO rule In a de-
mocracy as In any form OF autocracy.
Let me repeat and insist therefore that
slack OF authority and power 10 not In
herent In democracy but a defect in prac-
tice only. because OF a failure on the part
of the people in a democracy 10 realize
the necessity OF making popular govern
ment tust IA authoritative, powerful and
efficient as shall he found necessary 10

claimed purpose NJ the American democ-
racy. I'm other words fear ~ enforcing

WHAT READERS OF 1.-THE SUM- THINK ABOUT THE WAR

IN Russia even before that war, or she
would not have been compelled TO enroll
so many green men In both her army and
navy, as all foreign war correspondents
had reported.
TO educate n common soldier to be
good drlll sergeant would require ON an
average OF three or four years. and even
then owing to lack OF fit teachers they
would not equal those OF France or Aus
ira. But no European country has ever
approached the efficient system OF Ger
many. which has permeated not only her
army but also her whole nation. and Is
really the cause of her ever growing In
the Kaisers mailed hst' which has made
his people wealthy.
But. like her most dangerous rival
Japan. she is Wise enough TO hide her
real strength. All we can do Is to APP

In this way she would finally command
an army of nearly fifteen millions of
fighting men. enough to exhaust even

LET MILITARISM VENT
ITSELF IN PRESENT WAR

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir: Yes
terday the German Ambassador made
bid for peace and to-day THE SuN fol-
lows II up with an editorial asking, rs
II after all not time for peace"
In view OF THE SUNS sterling Amer
icanlsm in the past this is n surprising
proposition THE SUN asks II France Is
not sufficiently Inundated. and IL the
German army has not already shown
Itself tho overwhelming military power
OF the Continent. Al tho present moment
yes.
But why does THE SUN want peace de-
clared at the moment when France Is
Inundated and when the German military
power Is nj the zenith of it's triumphs7
Must France lose more provinces and he
forced to pay another billion dollar in
demnity? Must Belgium and Luxembourg
and perhaps Holland he yielded up TO
Germanys Unsuitable greed
True Americans will never forget that
when they were fighting for independence
the German States sent Hessians TO try
TO crush Washington, while France sent
Lafayette with an army that rendered
us Invaluable aid, Just the same as
England In now sending an expeditionary
army to help France, This Is one OF many
reasons why nearly all Americans want
the present war fought to a finish so that
the fight will stay finished.
II Germany were allowed at this mo-
ment TO dictate the terms OF peace. II
would be. "a Winston Churchill. First
Lord of the British Admiralty, said last
Saturday "the victory of the blood and
iron military school whose doctrines and
principles will then have received SUI

vindication for the Prussian military
autocraoy would make Pan -Germanism a
far greater peril for American interests
than Pan-Slavism would ever ba
This German peril has already become
no real that nearly all the other nations OF
Europe and Asia have banded together in
common fight for their self-prescrva-

OF New York city IL reported In to-day's

few years there will be the same war
over again" Now that this war OF
nations has started, let II 10 on until
the participants are willing TO agree to
disarma ment, so that the curse OF mill
terism may be banlshed and the resulting
peace be more than temporary truce.
