THEIR FRIENDSHIP AND NEu.
TRALlTY,

Some weeks ago letter directed to
the Irish Standard contained an inquiry
as to what had been the course of Ger.
many and the attitude of the German
people during the wars in which the
United States was engaged, and wheth-
or or not the German people had main.
tanned their friendship and neutrality
during those periods and especially
during the Civil War. The answer
made to the interested inquirer was
of the same nature as the answer
made by the Irish World to an in.
qutry received by that paper in refer.
ence to the previous attitude of Ger.
many. The editor of the Irish World
has publicly answered his correspond
ent and the material contained in the
answer is of such importance that we
reprint the same in this issue. Our
readers will remember the attitude
which the United States has main
tanned during the present European
conflict in regard to furnishing the
ammunition of war to the allies. 1t is
not in accordance with the terms of
strict neutrality Germany has not fur.
ntshed arms or amunitions to a nation
engaged in war against US. The in.
quiry and answer which appeared in
the article referred to is as follows:
In reference to your letter Of re.
cent date regarding shipment of mum.
lions from Germany to Spain in 1898
the party will not take the Father
land" as being correct, as he is pro-
British. Could you not get me some.
thing official. You will certainly do
me a favor by doing this.
- Yours truly.
F. L. CREEGAN. 4
& Sometime ago Mr.. Creegan wrote to
US concerning q statement dealing
with the attitude of Germany during
the spanish:American war. We an.
swered that the statement was based
on the Testimony Of Mr.. Andrew Dick
son White, who was American Am
bassador to Germany from 1897 to
1908. The person with whom Mr..
Creegan had q controversy was not
satisfied with our reply. Hence the
note we publish above.

WARNING OF CARDINAL GIBBONS

WARNING OF CARDINAL GIBBONS.
In line with the attitude maintained
by w. ]. Brayn, regarding the actions
of Americans travelling upon English
vessels and thus involving their coun-
try in difficulty; Cardinal Gibbons, of
Baltimore, in a recent Interview ex-
pressed similar opinions and main
tanned the same attitude as that TAX
en- by the former Secretary of State
regarding the rights of Americans on
belligerent vessels. Cardinal Gibbons
severely arraingned those who would
plunge their country into difficulty be.
cause they assumed the danger of sail
ing under an English flag. While the
loss of life has been unfortunate, it
is certain that the position taken by
such men as w. ]. Bryan and Cardinal
Gibbons, is after all the only sane
position which can be taken with re-
gard to those Americans who value
the position of their country so little
that rather than inconvenience them.

of country involved in the European
war. The following from Cardinal
Gibbons is direct in point and covers
the questions at issue.

Americans to take the dare Of travel.
ing by ships that are in DANGER" was
the comment of Cardinal Gibbons, in
an interview on the sinking of the
Arabic. "Why should they court the
danger?" His Eminence went on. "a
true lover Of America should sacrifice
personal whims when the honor and
the peace of the nation hangs in the
balance.
"The sinking of the steamship Ara
bic precipitated the present crisis be-
tween the United States and Ger
many. This was an English vessel
and it is deplorable that Americans
take the risk Of travelling on such
ships subjected to such dangers"
''War is a terrible thing" said the
"and we should not lightly
Jump into the strife that is tearing
the world to pieces. We in this coun.
try know little Of the narrowing conili-
tons In the old country. War seems
to have lot of glory and chivalry,
but for the widows and orphans It

SUGGESTS THANKSGIVING Aims.
7 Archbishop Glennon of st. Louis
has suggested to the pastors of his
diocese an annual collection for the
st. Vincent de Paul local conferences
to be given to the poor of the city,

Mass would be q fitting occasion for
such collection, thus combining

THE course of the Imperial Gov
eminent, especially of the Foreign Of
flee under Count Won Bulow and
Baron Won Richthofen, was all that
could be desired. Indeed, they went
so far on one occasion as almost to
alarm US. The American Consul at
Hamburg having notified me by tele-
phone that Spanish vessel, supposed
to be loaded with arms for use against
us in Cuba, was about to leave that
port. fastened to the Foreign Office
and urged that vigorous steps be TAX
en-, with the result that the vessel,
which in the meantime had left Ham,
burg, was overhauled and searched at
the mouth of the Elbe.
1.-THE German Government might
have easily pleaded, in answer to my
request, that the American Govern
ment had generally shown itself OPP
posed to any such interference with
the shipments of small arms to bel
ligerents, and had contended that it
was not obliged to search vessels to
find such contraband of war, but that
this duty was incumbent upon the bel
ligerent nation concerned"
Some time after this incident took
place, Ambassador White delivered a
Fourth of July address at Leipsic,
Germany. Referring to it he wrote:
This evidence of the fairness of
Germany took pains to make known.
OF one thing then and al
ways reminded my hearers-namely,
that during our Civil War, when our
national existence was trembling in
the balance and our foreign friends
were few. the German press and peo-
pie were steadily on our side"
These two extracts we have taken
from Ambassador Whites Autobiog.
raphy. The words we have quoted
will be found on pages 168-169 of Vol.
ume H. The Autobiography was pub.
lished by the New Century Company
in 1907. We are pleased that Mr..
Creegan has furnished us with an op
portunity for once more calling at.
tention to the good will manifested by
Germany toward the United States
not only at the time of the Spanish
American war, but at far more
threatening crisis, when the life OF
the nation hung trembling in the bal
ance. Those of us who have a per
sonal recollection of that perilous
stage in our history will recall how
bitter was the feeling at that time
against England for the hostile policy
she adopted toward the United States
1t was at that very time, according
to the testimony of Ambassador
White, "The German press and PEG
pie were on our side" 1t is we'll thai

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-The demand
for industrial stocks again determined
the character OF the market today.
In the early transactions the course
of prices was uncertain. A few spec
ialties rose buoyantly. but in other
quarters restraint was imposed pE

take profits was apparent throughout
but interest in the war shares was
unfagging. Their sustained strength
removed the chief sources OF DOUBT
