Too Many Papers Are Partisan.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The intercollegiate League of German
Clubs OF America wishes to express pro
test against the one-sided attitude which
many Of our newspapers and periodicals have
taken toward Germany in the present war
We as students Of the German language
and culture cannot sit idly by while Germany
is being held up to the senselcss ridicule
Of fanatical editors, who, totally disregard
ing President Wilson's proclamation Of neu-
yrality, increasingly rant and rail against
Gernany's acts without attempting to learn
whether Germany is right or not. Too many
Of our papers feature the successes of the
Allies and attempt to minimize the German
successes by printing them in an inconspicu-
Gus corner Of the second or third page. On
the other hand. some of our so-callcd sensa-
tional newspapers have shown very clearly
the real spirit Of neutrality by giving equal
emphasis to the successes of both sides.
We do not wish 20 be classed as German
partiSaus; all We ask is fair consideration
Of Germanys claims and explanations.
which many of our newspapers have all too
eagerly classed as "Rernstorfr lies" Finally.
Whatever our personal feelings may be- let
us remember our positions as citizens OF
this, perhaps the greatest Of the neutral
nations JOHN a. ALLEN.

clubs Of America.

The state of facts is unmistakablo that the

To press this law is 20 attack the credi-
bility of the Supreme Court OF the ctatc, OF
the Appellate Division, 10 which appeals are

cidentaliy that none Of the regular judges OF
that court as at present constituted and a.

warrant charging issuance of fraud

Ritter admits that he invented the
original "liquid fire."
Ritter asserted that his enemies u

to me and proposed that my liquid fire
be sprinkled on President Wilson and
Secretary Garrison"
"No, no." l exclaimed, "that would
be terrible. I'd never do it."
"Why wasn't it proposed to shoot
the PRESIDENT"
"They said shooting would mean ar.
rest. With the liquid fire, so-you
shoot it from a rubber ball upon a per.

minutes-poof-and the liquid fire is in
