To u EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str a

criticises the use OF plural verbs and
pronouns in conjunction with the
term German Imperial Government
in President Wilson's recent note to
Germany. contend that the form
complained OF is not ungrammatical.
but on the contrary exhibits a thor
ough mastery OF the English language.
as well as a deep insight into the

state paper.
In the examination OF this question
we should keep In mind the opening
words OF the note In view OF recent

We ind that wherever a plural verb or
pronoun is used there is an adroit al
fusion to the German authorities taken
s.ngly and not as a collective body.
Throughout the entire note there Is
ever in evidence a iiuc discrimination

ape n what not. The shocking atroc-
tiles committed by German troops In
Belgium and France, apparently in ac-
cordance with a regular system organ-
lied by the military powers for the pur-
pose OF striking terror into the hearts
OF the population and crushing any at
tempt Of self-defence as revealed by the
said report. are perhaps the worst blow
to civilization yet experienced.
In the face OF such facts. for facts
they must be. one is simply stunned.
one cannot grasp the reality, for that
such acts OF brutality, nay bestiality,
could be committed by soldiers OF a civ
ilized nation In our times is simply be-
You'd ones widest Imagination. There
Is little comfort In the thought that the
majority OF the German people them
selves would be shocked by such bar
barrie conduct and would repudiate IL, for
the very existence OF the fact that the
military power of a civilized nation can
organize such n system of brutal war

part OF those outrages. For the Ger

or even to explain such atrocities would
be adding insult TO injury.
A nation that will without n word OF
protest allow its military powers to wage
war on women and children and other
non-combatants in such a grossly inhu-
man fashion should suffer for 1t so AS to
be brought back to its senses. There
seems to be only one way to remedy
the evil. and that IL for the German

LincOlnian.

In Mr.. JOHN NJ. BowERs's long and
affecting plea for the injured or in,
furious Colonel. nothing-not ever the
bringing in of the Constitution which
the Colonel has chopped $ 10 hea rtily-
was more melting, nothing apter to
move In rocky hearts "the late rcmorse
of love" than his reading of the Get,
tysburg address. True. that dOcI-
ment was ms germane to the Colonel
and his cause as were WASHINGTON,
PATRICK HENRY, JOHN HANCOCK and
the other fO%rerunners of the Colonel.
The Colonel IL we'll known TO be the
latest avatar Of LINCOLN. and there
fore may be snid to have written the
Gettysburg address. lie has had To
change his style on account OF the
''soft'gcneration to which he breaches
But why the Gettysburg address?
Wouldn't the second inaugural have
been more sharply appropriate:
with malice toward none, with char
ity for all"
when the Colonel wrote that he
painted himself unconsciously. his
own gentle, forgiving, patient, long
suffering, gall-lacking nature.
