WHAT MR.. OSBORN SAID.

To THE EptroR OF THE suS---S,r: In
THE SUN OF September 10 you state that
Mr.. Hennessy quotes me as saying
There II simple and absolute chaos In
the business admsnistration OF the state.
This is a complete misstatement OF my
remarks at the Democratic conference at
Saratoga. What did say was
The constitutional powers and admins
tra,ive conditions Of the state departments
are underlined and chaotic. 1t
speaks well for human nature that the gov
eminent OF thfs state runs with regularity
and without extraordinary confusion in view
OF these conditions.
My address was confined to a consider
alton OF the constitutional and legal con-
ditlons surrounding the executive and adj
mnistrative offices of the state and had
no reference TO the present management
OF the departments.
7 am and have been for many years
familiar with departmental conditions at
Albany. and am glad To say that In my
opinion the departments OF the state.
taken as whole, are now well admins
tered and in competent and reliable hands.
The misquotatiou Of my remarks mas
been widely circulated and II intention
ally calculated to deceive the voters.

Coun,ercharxes Agains, the Bcigians.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir! 1t Is
important that the American public should
guard itself against being carried away
BY a sympathy excited by painful stories
recited by the Belgian committee. A Ger
man officer with the troops at Liege has
written as follows 10 my family

children. hack OF arms and legs OF
wounded men. and put out their eyes
one OF our surgeons caught ten-year-
old girl In the act of punching out the
eyes OF a helpless wounded soldier. You
can form no conception OF the multiplied
and Internally ingenious barbarities com
m!tted by the Belglans. Shooting our
soldiers in the back is the mildest form
II takes. They pour boiling oil and water
on us from upper windows. they cast our
wounded into blast furnaces and mutil'te
them on the battlefield. We found the
body of Uhlan cut in pieces In the Gel
lar of a private house in Liege, whose
eyes had been gougcd out. In this state
OF things words fail us 20 describe the
shameless abasement OF England. The
very thought Is horrible. that Teutonic
nation can unite with such a h'oodthirsty
rsbble against another Teutonic nation"
SO far my informant. No one can have
a more convinced admiration for Belgians

have. but when the Walloon reverts

Tho Scrap OF Paper and the
kaiser's Bleeding Heart.

After alleging to President WILSON
the cruelties practlsed upon the Ger
man invaders by the inhabitants Of
Belgium, the Kaiser says:
Some villages. and even the old town
Of Louvain, with the exception of its
beautiful town hall. had to be destroyed
for the protection OF my troop.
MY heart bleeds when | see such
measures inevitable and when l think OF
tho many innocent people who have lost
their homes and property as a result OF
the misdeeds OF the guilty"
Inevitable for the protection OF his
troops?
There is a question which goes deep
or even than the truth, whatever 1t
may he, about the atrocities charged
upon the invading Germans by the in
vaded Belgians, and upon the invaded
Beglans by the invading Germans.
President WILSON is not likely 10 ask
this question OF the Kaiser, but Civ
ilization does ask 1t and History will
press ii for centuries TO come.
Why were the Kaiser's troops at Lou
vain. or anywhere on territory which
The German Government had pledged
Itself to respect?

The Appeal 10 Heaven.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir! While
the German Kaiser has plously called
upon Almighty God to second him in de-
stroying the enemy's manhood and homes
and in breaking the hearts of their women.
IL Is perhaps becoming to inquire into one
detail of this partnership warfare
we are informed that because non
combatants shot at German soldiers his
torlc I.ouvain had to be destroyed. but
how about the reverse Of these ethics
namely. that It Is proper from the German
viewpoint for their warriors to drop bombs
over cities populated by noncombatants"
Does God approve or both these incon-
slstent methods OF German warfare. and
II so. Is II only because the Almighty In
His wisdom recognizes that except for the
success OF German culture Christianity
and humanity would be lost to civillza-
tion? d. w H.

is the demonstra ton OF the all pervading
moral responsibility OF government This
moral sentiment IN against Germany, and
is opposed to all war lords on this side
of the ocean, political or otherwise and
not the least OF the benefits conferred
upon the American people Is that our
own war lord, Theodore Roosevelt, has
been finished forever. The terrible re-
suits OF this war lord business, political
or otherwise. will not be further tolerated
by the American people, by this great com
nercial nation. Just 50, dcmagogues in
all walks of life and demagogic states
men are TO go by the hoard. according tn
this reawakened moral sentiment in
America for the people fully understand
that demagogues of every nature and

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
pretenslon that Germany was forced into
the present European conflict In defence
OF Austria-Hungary no longer can be
maintained upon any grounds whatever,
and that ostensiblc casus belli must be
recognized as purely fictitious.
The assassination of Archdukc Francis
Ferdinand occurred ON June 2S, and az a
seeming outcome Of the controversy con-
sequent upon that event Austria Hungary
declared war against Servia one month
later. Threatening activities or Russia
directed toward Austrla-Hungary ensued.
and Germany declared war against Rus
STA on August and against France on
August 3.
Northern France subsequently was

and the establishment Of the latter part
Of May as the period of distributing them
Affords definite proof that Germany con-
templsted and prepared unequiv ocaly for
an Invasion OF France not less than one
month prior to the assassination Of the
Archduke.
Germany thus stands convicted OF plan
