LIKES GERMANS, BUT NOT
GERMANY'S MILITARISM

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: I
do not believe that the German people
wanted war this country does not want
war the nations OF the world do not
want war. This is why we the Ameri-
can people are so bitter against the
ruler OF The German nation.
We like the German race individually
We do not like their militarism the cock
sureness OF their officials In army and
navy. We did not like 1t at Manila
The Presidents appeal not to take sides
is right as far as lending aid, but nc
one can smother the hope In every Anne r.
can heart that the Kaiser viii get hi,
lesson and get II speedily.
