Germany's Preparedness for
War Told in Newarker's Letter

A letter written by Paul Petri, a
Newark man, who for the last seven
years has been singing in concert and
opera in Germany, has been received
by Mrs. Petri in their home, 266 Par
ker street Mr.. Petri's name is among
those of American citizens registered
in the American embassy at Berlin.
Mrs. Petri, who had toured Europe
with her husband, left him in Ger
many July 4, and he intended to re-
turn here late this month. Overwork
had caused him to suffer slight ner-
vous trouble and he remained behind
for treatment.
The letter received by Mrs. Petri
was written by Mr.. Petri July 81, the
day before war was declared. He was
then resting at a little fishing village
seven miles from Rostock. He knew
that war was imminent and feared
that he would be bottled up where he
was. In the letter he said that the
lighthouse just off the shore was
guarded by an officer and six soldiers.
I'VE have known for a year that
war was inevitable and that it would
come soon. This was demonstrated
to people familiar with German af-
fairs frequently in the last twelve
months. We frequently heard army
officers talk of the preparedness of
their country and their own anxiety
to engage in battle, and now that it
has come it is bound to be terrible.
They feel that they are fighting for
the life of the empire. With them
the individual counts for nothing, and
they are prepared to sacrifice all of
their men for the sake of winning"
In the same party with Mr.. Petri
is Augusta Cottlow-Gerst, the pianist
She. too, has registered at the en-
| bassy.

GERMANY ALWAYS
FRIENDLY TO u. S.
Theodore Sutro Outlines Work
of His Countrymen in Up
building America.
BY THEODORE sUTRo

Editor Of the New York German journal.
Among the leading nations of the
world Germany is the only one that
has had no war for the last forty
four years.
Russia and Japan were fighting
only a few years ago. Previous to
that Japan had her war with China.
and Russia her war with Turkey.
France and Italy had their wars in
Northern Africa. England had her
struggle with the Boers.
The United States and Spain were
at war in 1898. Portugal had civil
war Chill and Peru had their war.
There was civil strife in Brazil.
Bulgaria, Servia and Greece have
been at war more than once. So has
little Montenegro. Austria Hungary
had the occupation of Bosnia. Mexico
has been one large battlefield for over
a year.
Germany alone among the big ma
lions of the world has kept her peace
for forty-four years. And for twenty
six out of these forty-four years a So
called war lord has been the Emperor
of Germany.
England, France and Russia charge
Germany with having started great
European war. sGermany denies hav-
ing been the aggressor.
History will decide this point, and
in the meantime it behooves Ameri-
cans to reserve their judgment.
Americans never had any trouble
nth Germany or with any German
state. Prussia was the first of all ma
tons to recognize the independence of
the United States. Prussia sent us
Friedrich Wilhelm Won Steuben to or
ganize the army that finally drove the
British from these shores.
Germans have helped to build up
Americas cities, they have cultivated
Americas soil, they have established
American industries, encouraged
commerce, fostered art and promoted
civic righteousness. They have al
ways been loyal defenders of their
adopted countryside United States.
Every reader of every American
newspaper personally knows some
Germans. He works side by side with
them, trades with them, meets them
in the street, in church, in clubs, in
every walk of life
The average American realizes the
Germans are not ogres who eat chill
dren for breakfast, or cutthroats who
| infest dark alleys with a gun in one
hand and lead pipe in the other.
Inc 1eTIndnS WHO nave maze
America their home are the same or
binary, everyday human beings as
their brothers and cousins now fight
ing in Europe for their hearths and
homes, their mothers, wives and chill
dren.
The Germans who are now strug-
Cling for the very existence of their
country are the same ordinary, So
cable human beings as the average
home-loving Americans who are
proud of their country and ready to
| fight for its flag.
Americans have no reason to hate
Germans or Germany. The United
| has had two wars with England and
| do not hate the British people. Amer
leans have had no war with Ger
many, SO they have still less cause
| for ill-will toward Germans.
Americans will be neutral, in the
! true sense of the word. They will not
pass judgment before both sides have
| had a full hearing.
| Let us remain strictly impartial,
with malice toward none and charity
for all.

Russia Forbids Soldiers
to Eat Food Abandoned by
Germans, Fearing Poison
BY the Associated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG, via London,
Aug. pa Russian army order pro-
hibits the use of food and forage
abandoned by the Germans in East
Prussia, because of cases of poisoning
which have occurred at Eydtkuhnen,
Gumbinnen and Insterburg.
According to all accounts the Ger
mans were taken by surprise by the
rapidity of the Russian cavalry move
ments and the dash through the Ma
EUR lake district, where five lines of
defense were flanked.
After the capture of Gumbinnen and
Insterburg, the line which was strong
est, the Angerburg line, was taken
without fighting.
The swift Russian movement. to-
gether with the crossing of the River
Angerapp and the successful battle
northward toward Neidenburg, seals
the fate of the central Notifications.
Fort Poye1 is now surrounded on
all sides and passage through East
Prussia is consequently quite open.

.HOW|TzERS USED
TO REDUCE NAMUR
Could Hear Shells Strike Forts,
Says Correspondent-Tells of
Desolation in Villages.
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN (via Copenhagen, via Lon
dom, Aug. 27.--The Tageblatt's cor
respondent writes that Namur was
bombarded with howitzers of thirty
one centimeters, by mortars and by
one forty-two- centimeter howitzef.
He says he could plainly hear the
shells striking the forts and that
everyone was astonished at the pre-
cision of the German guns.
The Tageblatt's correspondent de-
scribes the desolation that reigns in
the villages and small towns between
Liege and Namur. At the town of
Herve only nineteen houses remain
standing out of five hundred. Those
remaining carry placards expressing
sympathy with the German soldiers
and asking that they not be fired
upon.
The success of the German arms in
Belgium, says the Tageblatt, is at
tributed by military experts to the
swiftness with which the German
operations were carried through and
also to the delay of assistance prom
ised by the French, who arrived too
late both at Liege and Namur.

Believe War Will Result in
Diversified Farming in South

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-That the
movement for diversified farming in
the South will be FASTENED by the
suspension of operations in hundreds
of European cotton mills, was the
opinion expressed today by govern
ment officials who took part in the
recent cotton conference here.
Those who have studied problems
facing the cotton growers, believe the
present emergency most probably
will result in economic changes in
the South, the sowing of other crops
besides cotton, an expedition into
diversified farming and agricultural
development along new lines.
