AS Others See US

To the Editor of the Boston Journal
CHANGING over the mail Bag" as I de
occasionally, a letter in your issue O.
Nov. 5, entitled "To See Ourselves a,
Others See U.s." it seemed to me should
not pass unanswered.
The writer of the aforesaid letter il
evidently distressed because the "misery
and bloodshed' caused by the European
war is not all on one side, and is belabor
ing the President and administration for
o the belligerents for money betrays
her sympathes quite as clearly as in the
closing statement that she sees the mat
ter from Germany's point of view,"
and "feels almost ashamed to be citizen
of the United States"
Now the undersigned would like to say
to this writer and others who may take
this viewpoint, that in the event of war
being suddenly thrust upon our country
as it has been upon several of the coun-
tries of Europe, hope it will be able to
supply any deficiency it may have in mu-
nitons and means of defence by buying
them in neutral countries--a right to sell
the same being expressly reserved to
them by international law and agreement;
and also hope that our country has an
abundance of men wicked" enough to
fight in defense of their homes and coun-
try with such munitions of war as have
done the soldiers of those European
countries upon which war has been forced
by a government whose cruel and inhu-
man deeds on land and sea have Mortified
the civilized world.
Had this same German government
had some of the care, consideration and
regard for the lives of its own soldiers
that it now expects other governments to
have for them, it would not have sent
them forth on the mission of slaughter
anb devastation that forced a cruel and
needless war upon Europe and the world.
AS it is, that government alone in so
doing is wholly responsible for and guilty
of all the "misery and bloodshed'-o
both sdes-that have followed in this
war, Notwithstanding the efforts by ultra
pacific and pro Germans to fasten blame
therefor upon our humane and just Presi-
dent because he has declined to use the
power of our government to interfere
with and prevent the exercise by other
countries of the same natural moral, and
legal right of selfdefense that our coun.
try demands for itself, and is liable to be
compelled to exercise at any time in the
future as it has in the past.
The spectacle of this same European
government, after having for years been
piling up mountains of guns and NUM-
lions of war for itself, endeavoring by |
every means, fair or foul, especially the
latter, by its secret emissaries, agents |
and bomb plotters, to prevent the coun-

tries upon which it has forced war from
obtaining means wherewith to defend
themselves, is not surprising one in the
light of the events of the war which have
shown that unarmed and defenseess
men, women and children are it's favOrite
prey.
Would that this war-loving, war-mak-
ing and treaty-breaking government of
Central Europe could see itself and its
nefarious deeds as others see them!
