PROF. MUNSTERBERG DENIES.
Says Statements Attributed to Him
Are Unfounded.

10 the Editor OF 1 he Star:
A special dispatch to The Star from
Boston September 10 reports about my
new book, THE War and America"
The first paragraph runs as follows:
Our anti-German feeling, he says, is
akin to the American penchant for
lynching. He ascribes all our hostility
to popular ignorance; our opinions
have all been formed with the una
nimity of sheep, he says" and SO on.
I beg to state the fact that my book
does not contain word about an
American penchant for lynching," nor
does it say that the hostility results
from popular ignorance" nor can any
one find in my book from cover to COW
er such an insulting comparison as that
with the unanimity of Sheep" nor
are the further statements in the least
corresponding to what have said.
The dispatch from Boston on the 18th
was not based on any acquaintance
with the book. as this book appeared
only on the 21st. The dispatch was an
abstract Of an article in the Boston
Transcript. The Transcript had access
to the sheets of the book in an advance
copy before its publication. AS the
Transcript is the most anti-German
paper ina the country. it has tried to
discredit my book before it appeared
by giving the impression that I am
insulting to the Americans. For this
reason phrases were put into my mouth
which l have never used and would
never think of using. My book is a
plea for fair play and neutrality. While
it does not deny my sympathies for my
native country, it tries in every way
to be fair to Germany's enemies, too.
above all to the Americans, whom
have defended against European pref
udices in book after book written for
Europe through a quarter of a CEN
tury. HUGO MUNSTERBERG.

Power Boat Virginia Given Trade
License.

The power boat Virginia, formerly the
two masted river schooner Vir-
ginia, which arrived few days ago
with oysters, while here underwent
measurement and other formalities be-
fore the custom house officials in order to
be enrolled in the list of vessels under
the American flag. Yesterday morning
the inspectors came over from Baltimore
and, after looking over her life-saving
and fre-fghting equipment and seeing
she was equipped as the navigation laws
require, granted her a license to trade
on the Potomac and other tributaries of
the Chesapeake, as well as on the bay,
for the next year.
The two-masted power schooner Ada
Ballanger, belonging to Capt. Aleck Wat
son. is lying at anchor in the harbor
with a disabled propeller. and 1t will be
several days before the vessel can be
made ready to return to service. Early
in the week the Ballanger left here
bound to the Potomac oyster beds to
load oysters for this market. On her
way down the river, when few miles
below Alexandra, an accident to her
propeller occurred and, while the ves-
sci was not damaged in hull. she
was brought back to this city for re-
pairs. The trip from down river to
this port was made under sail.

When War Is Done

In Europe, when the war is
done-may that day soon be
greeted when some their vic
tory have won, and some have
been defeated, twill be country
of the old, the halt, the manned,
the dying; in unmarked couches,
meath the mold, the young men
will be lying. Afar the youthful
hosts are flung, like grain that
waits the reaping; for war takes
harvest of the young, and leaves
the old men weeping. In Europe,
when the war is done, and rust
dims sword and saber, in barren
fields, from sun to sun, old men
and danes will labor. The patri-
arch must guide the plow in fields
yet red from slaughter, while
hitched like horses are the frau,
the grandma and the daughter.
Perhaps some cripple from the
wars may help to do the seeding.
while groaning DER his varied
scars, and old wounds freshly
bleeding. Some veteran on wood
en- legs, whose strength is swift
" dwindling, may milk the COW
and fetch the eggs, and split the
daily kindling. But everywhere
the weak and old must do the
heavy toiling, must strive the
little farms to hold. and keep the
pot a-boi1ing. Old men and
DANES, the harvest waves! Go
forth and do the reaping, for in
their red and shallow graves your
strong young men are sleeping!

Schooner Belmont Goes to Bottom

The river schooner Belmont, which
