The f~atherland's immortal tioOmi
And England
We are simply dumfounded at your
attitude toward that arch hypOcrite
among the nations. whose monster
empire Is based on ruthless con.
Guest, and whose record IN opium
cursed China. In starving India, in
the concentration camps Of the Boer
republics, in ruined Ireland. and even
in America Is an everlasting disgrace.
You know that she is trying to starye
our two beieaguered empires and 10
deprive our millions Of non-com-
batants Of the necessities 70 life. Yet
you wonder that we retaliate and
warn all merchant ships, under
| penalty of destruction, not to bring
food to her! You know that Eng
land rides roughshod over the rights
of neutral nations, that she even
dares to hold up and 10 confiscate
United States mail, and, If she likes,
suppresses cahlegrams from America
to neutral lands Ike Switzerland!
Moreover. the English eenso regu-
lates your news! The American cor
respondent, Colonel Emerson, sent
seyenty-eight cablegrams to the
United States in the first months
of the war. Only three went through
unchanged, and these told of Ger.
man reverses a fourth was falsitled,
and seventy-four were suppressed.
What towards you are to submit to
thisl Do not say that we, who are
temporarily residing here and have
not hurried home through fear, are
tun-American." We are infinitely
more American than those of You
who have not still enough OF the old
spirit OF your fathers to resent such
action from that unchanged tyrant
of the seas, whom they twice fought
VIGOROUSLY. You have and you
deserve to haye-the contempt Of
the world. Think Of Through fear
OF En~gland-the Boston p~ostofice has
refused to forward to me, even at
the sender's risk, a little package Of
tea, although whole shiploads of guns
and ammunition are meanwhile on
their way to France and England!
England is treating you as she did In
1912. She is today lampooning the
German Emperor as she ridiculed
and insuIted Abraham Lincoln In our
Civil War. She DULLES you, snubg
you, ruins your commerce, humiliates
you in the eyes Of European neutral
nations and even Of the Allies, and
save for a few courageous men like
Governor Colquitt of Texas, you sit
there, hypnotized by such silly words
as "Militarism" and Bernhard" and
kiss the hand that cuffs you. Thank
God, you are not all SO. Friends
Hrite me that there are really mil-
lions there who think as we do, and
| read with Joy OF such Americans
of British descent as Quincy Adams
OF Boston. and Professors Hall,
Wheeler, Sloane and Burgess, who
are advocates OF the Teutonic cause.
| need not say that those Of you
who recognize the truth about these
empires and wish for their success,
were never so dear TO us as now.
We love you and are grateful 10
you for every word aud act OF sym
pathy, God bless youl
