SAYS The KAISER

Washington, Aug. 19.--"Germany is
much malinged, her motives misunder'
stood, misconstrued and deliberately
misrepresented in a campaign to fos.
ter anti-German sentiment In the
United States.
This is the gist of a complaint
made to the United States by Kaiser
Wilhelm and laid before the president
by the secretary OF state.
He denies that Germany is to blame
for the universal war covering Eu
rope
Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, was
the medium of the communication.
The kaiser did not ask that any
statement of his views be made for
mally to any official or government
but merely asked that he be quoted
to President Wilson and the American
administration.

WIDE VARIANCE Or
OPINIONS PREVAIL
Says Nature Of Our Citizenship
Makes II Easy to Excite
Passion.

Washington, Aug. 9-AddressinE
the American people President VIII
son issued a statement in connection
with the European war warning citi-
zens of the United States against
that deepest, most subtle, most es-
sential breach of neutrality which
may spring out of partisanship, out
of passionately taking sides" The
presidents statement says in part:
"The spirit of the nation in this
critical matter will be determined
largely by what individuals and so
ciety and those gathered in public
meetings do and say, upon what news
papers and magazines contain, upon
what our ministers utter in their pull
pits and men proclaim as their opin.
ions on the streets.
THE people of the United States
are drawn from many nations and
chiefly from the nations now at war
Ii Is natural and inevitable that there
should be the utmost variety of sym
pathy with regard to the issues and
circumstances of the conflict.
1T will be easy to excite passion
and difficult to allay it,
Must Be Really Neutral.
THE United States must be neu
trail in fact as well as in name during
these days that are to try mems
souls. We must be impartial in
thought as well as in action, must
put curb upon our sentiments as
we'll as on every transaction thai
might be construed as a preference
of one party to the struggle before
another
MY thought is of America. ! an
speaking, | feel sure, the earnest wisf
and purpose of every thoughtful
American that this great country o.
ours, the first in our thoughts and IL
our hearts, should show herself IL
this time of peculiar trial a natior
fit beyond others to exhibit the fint
poise of undisturbed judgment, thu
dignity of self-control. the efficienc,
of dispassionate action; a nation tina
neither sits In judgment upon Others
nor is disturbed In her own counsel,
and which keeps herself fit and fre'
to do what is honest and disinterest
ed and truly serviceable for the peac,
of the world.
"Shall we not resolve to put upor
ourselves the restraint which will
bring to our people the happiness ant
the great and lasting influence 70
peace we covet for them?"
