FINDS FALSE NOTE IN
LAST DERNBURG PLEA

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN - Sir {,
Or. Dernburg's last plea TO the bar OF
American opinion. as published In your
Sunday issue. has the false note" so
apparent in all German statements.
The English position, as stated by their
officials and statesmen and as shown by
official documents, is simply this:
First-England having guaranteed the
neutrality OF Belgium IL trying honorably
to fulfl and uphold that guarantee.
Second-Germany having violated her
solemn word. as shown in her treaty
agreement, to uphold the neutrality OF
Belgium. England through her officials
and statesmen announces TO Germany
and to the world that she will continue
the war until Germanys strength Is so
reduced and curtailed that she will never
have sufficient military. naval or political
power to sacrifice again the peace OF the
civilized world.
These are the reasons back OF tho actor
Of England. and not those given by DIR
Dernburg, the substance of which, fol
comparison | now repeat: ITO destro,
Germany so that she England may
secure her (Germany'O trade and com
merCe"
Dr. Dernburg should also be advised
that the American people are not approx
ing Germanys position because they. too
are unalterably opposed to any nauoi
which violates It's word of honor. and
that they are doing so. not from any hop'
that their action will secure to then
material advantages OF trade and com
| merce. but simply on the highest plane
of morality and honesty. VIpI.

WARNING FROM LONDON
ON RUSSIAN AMBITIONS

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN--Sir. "A
noticeable thing in England at this time
Is the growth OF Russian influence, which
began long before the division of Persia.
The agreement made between the English,
French and Russian Governments, bind
ing them all to stand together and for
bidding the conclusion Of peace by any
one or two OF them which oil did not
sanction. places both England and France,
OF course, under the absolute veto OF
Russia.
John A. Hobson has well pointed out
In a letter to the Daily Ncps that this
might under imaginable contingencies
bolster up Russia even in a demand for
Constantinople as against possible Ger
! man aggression" before she would agree
20 end the war. How far Russian ambl-
tion goes no man can tell The Swedes
are fearful that 1t menaces their northern
mines.
What In to be hoped Is that Alsace-1>or-
raine may become a neutralized autono-
! nous buffer state. removing the occa-
| sion OF revenge from both France and
| Germany.
Ono wonders how many Americans will
| be deluded by the recent preposterous
talk OF Winston Churchill TO the Ameri-
can journalists here. He attempts IL
show that II Germany wins Great Britain
will perish, and America In turn be
J threatened.
Now is the time for sane men every
where to declare that the system
of Armed Peace Ia creating this destruc.
ton OF civilization and that 1t must
end Nne-tenths OF tho worlds arma.
ments are owned by the six nations nov
at war. by Italy. which has Just been ir

capped II. In the reduction OF armament,
our safe country must take tho lead
| Let no new battleship be ordered by Con
gress. at least until this war Is over
Our navy Is second to Germany's and
will probably be the stronger when thu
! war Is over. Were II possible for Ger
many to conquer SO as to leave her
strong. she would have no desire :,
fight for colonies In South America, 70
she could get French or English de-
Tendencies
The one possible greater calamity thar
this War OF Fear Is that tn. real lessor
OF II should not be learned. and that tn,
fallaces OF the war traders and navs
experts should stu hoodwink us and breed
