FAVORS THE GERMANS
senator stone J. Told Sccre-
tary's Acts Are All Against
Allies.

Clement \. Grscom. head of the Girls
com Spencer Company and son Of the lato
head Of the International Mercantile Ma
rinc. has sent a letter to Senator william
J. stone. recipient Of Secretary Bryan's
letter OF explanation OF the Admnistra-
TONS neutrality, IN which Mr.. Griscom
says that Secretary Bryan out OF his own
mouth stands convicted Of having favored
Germany In almost every action That has
been taken.
Mr. Grigcom writes.
The clever work Of the German pub
licity campaign could not bo better illus
trated than by MIR. Bryan's letter defend
ing the attitude Of the Administration
from charges that it had favored the
Allies To the detriment Of Germany and
Austria. Tor the letter conclusiYely proves
that probably owing to the c.amor OF Ger
man sentiment in thiJ country almost
every action that has been taken by the
Administration has been iu favor Of Ger
many ana against the Allies
air. Triecum specifies ii 1fyaus state
ment that the President will prevent sales
Of ammunition TO any Of the nations en-
gagged in the war and says that a. Ger
many and Austria cannot secure such am
muniton from the United States such
arbitrary and Illegal interference" would
be distinctly partisan and against the
Allies He says that this Government
protect against the presence OF war YES
sells outside New York harbor and Homo
lulu is distinctly unfriendly, a. only the
Allies are able to place war vessels there
lie SAYS that Mr.. Bryan eXerted such
influence upon Mr.. Schwab that the latter
was forced 10 cancel contract for build
ing submarines for Great Britain. As II
would be impossible for Germany TO get
/ delivery Of submarines here, SAYS Mr.
: Griscom. Mr.. Bryan's action lis distinctly
partisan and tended to nullify the advau'
I tagc which England's years Of sacrifice
| have given her" Mr. Griscom continues
/ Point by point Mr.. Bryans letter ear
| be analysed and wherever We ind thai
he has taken action we find that tha
action was against the interests OF IN,
Allies and consequently in favor OF Ger
many
"a neutrality, no matter how passiy,
I and impartial il may seem tO be, whict
has the active effect of always favorinl
the interests Of Germany 10y inhibitnf
the activities of the Allies in matters
where Germany cannot be active Is H.
effect no true neutrality and the vast ma
jOrity of the people In this country, tina
! is to say Americans, as distinguished
| from Germans or German Americans, are
gradually realizing this and there ar,
many signs of growing impotence will
the influence which the German publicity
work is having in Washington,
THE Administration OF these United
states has been the catspaw Of German
manipulation long enough
Mr. Griscom says that few Americans
| realize the intensity of anti American
feeling which has been aroused In Canad,
in the last four or ave months. Bite
! luminosity is almost general there an,
Canadians accuse US of being cowardll
for permitting Germany to violate the Bel
gian neutrality. which was reaffirmed a
The Hague when the United States wa
a party to the convention. Canadian
accuse us Of sOrdidness and commercial
ism he says.
