Germany's Unrequited Friendship

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To the writer, an American,
there has always appeared something
pathetic in the efforts OF the Germans
to win the favor of the people Of these
United States. That the great land Of
liberty could so misunderstood the
causes and underlying motives Of the
great war argues the grossest igno-
rance on our part as to European af-
fairs.
Owing largely to the insidious activ-
tiles of British agents and false re-
ports sent over here from London the
American people have received the i'm
preston that Germany, after long
planning and preparation, is bent on
the conquest of Europe. That they are
simply defending their homes and coun-
try is so obvious as to need no proof
to any who are not laboring under mis-
information or who are not prejudiced.
II Germany's object was expansion
at the expense Of some Of her neigh
bors she would never have chosen the
time TO strike when Russia, England
and France were at peace. The psyche
logical moment for such an enterprise
was during the war between Russia and
Japan.
SO then, not being without foresight
and judgment, Germany undoubtedly
did not undertake to emulate Napoleon
and conquer Europe; and to return to
the pathetic side of their rude awaken
ing in being so misunderstood in Amer
lea, what were their thoughts on be-
holding the latter offering its sym
pathy and more TO their enemies, the
Allies? They believed, not without
some reason, that, being the under dog,
they would at least receive fair treat
ment from neutrals.
Failing TO obtain such treatment, and
being beset on all sides by a world in
arms, is it any wonder that Germany
became desperate, and that the Lusi-
tania was sunk? For, to tell the truth,
the Lusitania incident brought the
United States to her senses and showed
her that she might not be so immune
from the perils Of the great war as she
might think.
That the American people will one
day appreciate the friendship and good
will of the Germans is the firm belief Of
your correspondent.

War Cartoons

London has lately had a great
exhibition of war cartoons, enabling
the curious to make comparisons be-
tween the artists of several nations
and to contrast their characters and
qualities. The judicious critic of
The Times" pronounces Forain "the
greatest Of all the cartoonists of the
war;" and it will probably be con-
coded by competent judges every
where that in his field he is I'M
rivalled. "Cartoonists, for the most
part" remarks the same writer, "are
uproariously cheerful whatever hap
pens. They seem to be cheering vic
tories all the time. How often have
the Germans sunk our fleet and
starved us out in their cartoons! How
often in ours has the Kaiser con-
fessed that he was beaten!" And he
goes on to observe that when the
occasion is past such documents lose
their interest except as mere curiosi-
ties, while on the other side Forain
is thing of permanent and endur-
ing value.
This, after all, Is only saying that
Forain's drawings are precious for
.heir own sake. 1t is possible, how
ever, to consider the cartoonist as
sort of pictorial pamphleteer, and in
this aspect it may be questioned
whether the popular Raemaekers is
rot a more influential figure. Obvi-
ously, as artists there can be no COM
parison between the two-Forain is
incomparably the greater. Rae
makers is a respectable drafts
man, but tame and commonplace
enough, and were it not for his in
ventions he would never have made
so extraordinary an impression on
the public imagination.
1t is remarkable that the war has
not brought forth a single caricatur-
list of distinction. The critic of "The
Times" finds fault very reasonably
with the puerile distortions commonly
used on one side to ridicule the Kali
ser and the Crown Prince and on the
other to expose the villany Of John
Bull or Viscount Grey. But though
his complaint is just enough in so far
as it applies to the run Of current
cartoons, it is pity that SO formida-
bic a weapon as caricature should
find few who are capable of using it.
Perhaps we are grown too civil to-
day to employ such a weapon with
effect. Imagination" wrote Goethe,
"lurks in man as his deadliest enc
my; by nature she has an irresisti-
BILE impulse toward the absurd, an
impulse which operates powerfully
even in cultivated man and, to the
contempt of all culture, displays in
the midst of the decentest circles the
inherited savagery which takes
pleasure in caricature." Some of the
savagest caricatures in the present
war have, however, been produced by
Goethe's countrymen, and upon the
whole they are much better and
more entertaining than English sx-

MELT BRITISH
S0yERE|GNS
FOR jEWEL.RY
GREAT BRITAIN MAY PASS LAW
TO PREVENT PRACTICE WHICH
is EATING UP HER GOLD RF-
SERVE.

London, March 25-The practice
of melting British gold sOyereigns to
mix with other metals and make Jew
elry to sell to suddenly enriched mu-
nition workers and their wives Is SAID
to have become so alarming that an
effort may be made during the pres
ent session of parliament to pass
law to prohibit it. There are not
many sovereigns in circulation in
England. they having been recallel
shortly after the outbreak Of the war,
but they can be obtained easily IN
exchange for parer notes at the Bank
of England.
The gold reserve in the Bank OF
England at the present time is estl-
mated at about $25j,O0O,0O0. There
are other gold reserves of course, III
the hands of other joint stock banks
one of the aims of the government Is
to prevent sovereigus going out OF
the country to keep up the reserve
cold supply and to prevent the gold
from reaching the enemy
For the past six months, or even
since the munitoA workers began
to work night and day and draw
greatly increased wages they have
been having gold coins melted for
iewelrv. The practice is said TO have
become especially noticeable in BIZ
mingham where many Of the large
iewelry manufacturers are located,
There is no law against the practice
of melting government moneys.
Hume Williams, a member OF par
lament. from Nottingham, who think
the government ought to make it a
punishable crime to melt soyereigns
down to make jewelry, said:
"As the law now stands, a man
can take fve-pound note to the
Bank of England and demand SOY
ereigns for it, He can then take the
gold coins to his factory, melt them
down. mix the gold with certain oth
or metals. and make the jewelry. The
mere suuandering of the mnnitlof
workers money in this way, in TIM,
Of national stress when the surplu'
is needed for silver bullets and fol
a support for the worker and his ram
iIv in nossible days of need to come
is a bad thing.
"There is another serious side tt
! it. The government spends none
I in converting bar gold into soVe'
eigns, and anybody can go along an
get the sovereigns and melt ther

Golden sovereigns to Germany h
y cannot do so, as there is an embarg
: against taking sovereigns out of TN
country. There is no regulation, how
