AS MIR. BRYAN SEES HIS DUTY.

To the Editor of The N. Y. World:
That Mr.. Bryan is not without his
shortcomings is not to be wandered at,
he being just man. That his taste
IN the matter of personal management
conflicts with the notions of taste
which prevail in the East is not to he
wondered at. How the East rallied
at Lincoln's taste! How certain fac
tons in England went after the taste
of Lloyd-George!
The Worlds complaint now is that
Mr.. Bryan doesn't stay at his desk
long enough, that he has demonstrate
ed ggreat lack of administrative
ability, and it compares him with some
OF his professionalism Quincy
Adams, Mr.. jefferson, Mr.. Root. I
recently reviewed the indictments
which the opposition parties made
against Mr. Adams and Mr.. jefferson.
Compare Mr.. Bryan's work for the
country with that of his immediate
predecessors-Mr. Knox, with his So
called dollar diplomacy" and Mr..
Root, likewise ever working in the
interests of the money oligarchy.''
Who, next to the President, is to be
credited with the great work this adj
miniStration has so far accomplished
Mr.. Bryan. Who, more than any 9TH
er man, is to be credited for the nom
inaton of Mr.. Wilson? Mr.. Bryan.
What man in this country has sus-
tanned the burden of hope for the
average man in this country? Mr..
Bryan. Who in this administration do
tho average men in this country feel is
their representative? If vote could
be taken believe it would, by largo
Ia, W., CHI l,,&
1t has been suggested, but it cannot
be, that Mr.. Bryan's public express
sion of his attitude on Intoxicating
liquor is factor behind this new at
tack. Personally, l cannot conceive
il possible. Some of us may not have
the courage to attack the liquor prob
lem, but is there in this wide world
thinking man who does not realize
the awful situation in most sections
caused by the drink habit, the bottom
cause of most that is vile in our civil
| iization? To be solved right it must
be discussed. Let it be discussed pub
licly by any person who has the cour-
age to do it, be he President, Score.
tary of State or in whatever official
position.
am not an old admirer of Mr..
Bryan. | became voter with very
strong notion that he was very great
menace to this country. / don't think
sc now. hope you will think well be-
fore you carry further any attack
which will tend to diminish the influ-
ence of this man, which will, 1 fear,
also diminish the great influence of
The World.

Who isn't? But it shows him, truth

truth. Are the lights of all of us

Cardui goes 10 all the weak spots and

did HE BELIEVE WHAT HE
SAID?"
Editor News:

Editor News:
Newspaper dispatches report the
German Emperor as saying in AN adj
dress delivered to his troops on De-
cember Bird: You are fighting for n
just cause, for liberty, for the right
to exist as nation, and for a future
q prolonged peace. Even though the
war should last for long time, we
shall not allow the enemy to have n
moments quiet. We shall continue t.
fight with success as heretofore, for
heaven is on our side. With God we
shall achieve a prolonged peace, for
cur nerves are stronger than those of
cur enemy" Do you believe the EN-
peror wass incere in the above utter
ance, or was he just whistling to keep
up his courage, and. that of his
troops?
We cannot answer with assurance.
He may have, and if sincere evidently
has, an idea of God and heaven which
sanction war, brutality and great SUI
fering. Perhaps the other great lead
crs of "the enemy" believe likewise.
We don't blieve God and heaven are
on the side of war. God is a God of
peace, and, as we see it, this war is
the work of the Evil One. Out of it
all will come good, of course, but at
fearful cost. He can make the
wrath OF man to praise him."

CLASSIFYING the Cities

Hostile critics of the Presidents
Mexican policy are Invisible into three
groups:
l. Men who know little or nothing
Ct Mexican affairs.
2. Men who couldn't be induced to
enlist for an invasion of Mexico, but
who .sputter about "a loss of national
dignity" involved in the withdrawal
Of our troops from Vera Cruz.
3. Men who have a pocket reason
for wanting an American army sent
IN to take possession of Mexico and
maintain the status quo-including
the Infamous concessions granted to
foreign exploiters by the Dictators
Diaz and Huerta
These esteemed citizens may sput-
ter to their hearts content, and take
i out in suffering. This country at
large is we'll satisfied to let the man
who has the job to do, and who has
all the facts in his possessiety work it
cut III his own peaceful, patient fash
ion.

BETWEEN BATTLES
French and German Soldiers On
Best Terms.


notwithstanding Rabbits Between
the Lines Also Furnishes Amuse-
ment as Well as Stew.
The Hague, Nov. -(Correspend-
ence of the Associated Press. )-Whcn
Il battle is not in progress the best of
French and German soldiers who for
two months have faced one another on
the long line between Newport and
Belfort.
So close are the camps to each
other that it is possible for the two
forces to exchange words. They in
dulge in good natured contests such
as shooting at spade targets, with no
intention of hitting anyone, and COM
pete for hares which run between the
lires.
A French soldier writes of these
amusements:
"a target is painted on a spade and
moved through our trench in such a
way that it shows about two feet
above the ground. The Germans
shoot at it. With stick we indi-
cate the results of their fire and when
one hits the bullseye he is rewarded
with the waving of a French flag.
Have Rabbit Stew.
There is another sort of target
practice which is very popular. The
region around us is full of cabbage
fields and the cabbage fields are full
of hares and rabbits. These hares
sometimes cross our own private
meadow. Immediately both trenches
are all aflame. Long sounding vol
leys follow the poor little beast. He
makes graceful sommersault, throws
his ears up in the air and falls a
martyr to Europe's militarism.
Then comes the time to divide our
spoils. If Brer' Rabbit expires on
the German half the custom of the
country prescribes that German
may leave the trenches and get the
prize. That day the German cave
jewellers eat "hasenbraten." If the
animal dies on our side we delegate
man to fetch him and we eat
"Lievre farci." But if he should die
most inconsiderately right on the line
then there is trouble. We both rush
for our meal while a terrific fire is
opened and we run the risk of being
killed by friend as we'll as by enemy.
"rhe other day we did not know on
which side of the line hare had died.
We looked out of our trenches and
the Germans fired. The Germans
peeped around the corner and we
fired. Finally court of arbitration
took the matter in hand. A loud Ger
man voice called out tobacco We
thought that the proposal was fair.
One of our men showed the German
three packages of cigarettes. Then
he climbed out of the trench and walk
eG to the dead hare. He deposited his
cigarettes and took the hare. Then
he returned. A German came and
took the tobacco. Five minutes later
the Germans were smoking and we
were preparing our stew"
The camps frequently entertain
each other with singing. And per-
haps a few moments later the efforts
OF both sides will turn to whistling--
bullets about one another's heads.
