OF what use is it, therefore, to deceive
ourselves, as old Bishop Butler used TO
say? We could make no greater ms
take than TO persuade ourselves that
the hate TO whose existence The Irlb-
une and "The Morning Post" testify IS
a mere newspaper fiction, or at least an
enormous exaggeration of the truth.
Let US have no illusions about IT.
The entire English nation wants only
the sort of peace which 1t is to be per.
mitted to dictate, and the intensity OIL
the hate which leading English circles
through the most systematic and most
unscrupulous campaign of Justification
and calumny which the world has ever
seen. have brought to a white heat IN
the people of Great Britain, more un-
critical than almost any other people,
is to-day so fierce that any English
Government would be compelled 20 use
the power TO dictate peace, If 1t ever
should obtain such power, for the pur-
pose Of running Germany politically ana
economically, as far and as thoroughly
as might be possible.
Against such a hate as now rules IN
England even the voice OF sober caicu-
lation is helpless. One cannot bargain
with il. nor reason with it. The only
way to deal with it is TO make II I'M
potent for harm. We cannot eradicate
from the minds of Englishmen a hate
born Of lies and ignorance. We can
only show them that they can never
satisfy it. even at the cost of self-de-
struction. To hate-mad Englishmen our
answer must be only the harsh old an
swer of the Caesars: "Oderint, dum
metuant." -,
("Since they fear, let them hate.")

Above,
Since what times forever silent.
In what gardens profound and violent
of the skies,
Around what suns
Like hives of fire
Turn, in the splendor of energic space,
The myriad and marvellous swarm
OF the tragic planets!
Such a star. one knows not when, has
given them flight,
Even as to the bees;
And here are they, flying among the
flowers, the vines,
And the gardens Of golden ether;
And here does each-in her eternal
round
Who illumines the night, yelling herself
By day,
Move. spin into the distance, return,
but gravitate ever,
Around her maternal star

English and German Hate"

On September q last we repub-
ished some comment in "The London
Morning Post" on a Tribune editorial
Of August 8, entitled English and
German Hate" We now reprint an
article from the Munich "Neueste
Nachrichten," written by that jour
nails former London correspondent,
and dealing with the same editorial.
Strange to say the English and Ger
man newspapers both agree as to the
extraordinary intensity and implaca-
bility of the English peoples present
hatred Of Germany.
1t appears that Professor Muenster-
berg, a distinguished member Of the
faculty of Harvard University, recently
wrote an extraordinary article predict
ing an alliance of the United States,
Germany and Great Britain "as one Of
the logical and necessary consequences
Of the present deplorable war" Where
upon The New York Tribune. which is
one Of the most rabid pro-Ally news
papers in the New England States o.
Informed him that he must have
strangely misinterpreted the British
opinion with regard TO Germany.
That newspaper then gave a descrip-
tion Of English hate, which dreams OF
nothing but the complete ruination Of
Germany. "The London Morning Post"
reprinted The Tribune's article in full,
because to use "The Posts" words, at
discloses such keen appreciation of the
English point of view, such clear
understanding Of British sentiment"
Bearing this testimonial in mind / shall
give our readers the benefit Of a sum-
mary Of the article-the more so since
we may still have here and there in
Germany a few incurable Muenster-
bcrgs.
The New York Tribune lies when it
calls the hate which it describes JUS
tifable hate. 1t also lies when it main
tains that this hate is a spontaneous
growth. not fostered by official agen-
cies. II does not lie, however, when it
says:
"Probably never have EHglishmen OF
all classes so completely hated and
loathed a foreign nation as DO the
British now hate and loathe the Ger
man. But to-day the German is for the
Englishman the man who abuses women
and children on land and murders them
on water. lie is Che man VINO Drutany

ers. lie is the author Of the Zeppelin
raids, and he is the criminal who en-
ploys the submarine for assassination.
not for war. Above all, and this is
comprehensive, he is not a clean
fighter, he doesn't play the game he
recognizes no rules Of humanity, Of
law, Of sport.
wherefore the Englishman hates
him not as nation primarily there
is nothing Of this-but as an indiyid-
ual; IL is a personal matter between the
individual Briton and the German, and
being such IL cannot be settled by a
government or disposed Of by a treaty
Of peace hundred years from now
there will still be some Englishmen
who hold to the notion as to Germans
that prevails in England now"

(From The Poetry Revie,o, London
He never saw his misty English lanes
Break into myriad bloom, or the ne"
grass
Clean in the sunlight, or swift shadows
pass
Across a haze Of bluebells, or spring
rains
Drip from red may and gold lsburnum-
chsins
At sunset; never saw his wind-bl'wn
heath
Tremble with hidden life, or the white
wreath
OF clOud-drift roll from off his sunlit
plains.
These things he loved with his big Eng
lish heart
(Clean as fresh wind upon an open
trail).
These things he dreamed Of In the
bullet-hail
With eyes that watched the dawn in
many times.
He is dead-and on his hills the sun
still climbs,
And Ger his plains the drifting cloud
ships start.
And 10! far-off across the faint gray
sea
Are things he loved and yearned for
England's skies,
Dream glades of bluebells, winds across
wet hay,
Laughter of little children, triumph
cries
OF moorland winds, the urgent ecstasy
Of birds, and low sad sounds Of tired
day. c. A. RENSHAW.

AUTUMN THOUGHTS

Moonlight! thefoating mists are gone,
wind unveils the deep clear night,
Star rivals star, and The Silver River
draws to her breast the dreamy
light.
Gaunt old trees cast shadows on the
plain;
Little birds hushed by fear are stir
ring, singing again.
And my heart is a tumult of song
And a torrent of wild wings shaking
free.
Home, home, home hear the long
Shrill of the far cicada calling me.

ing of the 10Th. A soldier-priest,
Monsieur the Able Bernard, went to
see a tiny bit Of what was taking
place.
The bullets in penetrating the front
Of the tabernacle had made everywhere
little holes, and these holes were in
a shape nearly symmetrical around
the lock- At the rear there we're many
much larger holes
Monsieur the Able took those
sacred things and the cover Of the
altar and carried them to the chapel.
The 18th and the 6Oth Bavarian
Regiments were the ones that did this
work One-third at least of these men
were Protestant, and among them were
many returned convicts.
One Of our sisters saw book Of a
German officer who was nursed here
and noticed that he was from Bitsch.
(Bitsch is a Roman Catholic town in
Lorraine, which long belonged to
France, and which held out against the
Germans almost TO the end of the
Franco-P russian War;
"How is this?" she asked. "You are
from Bitsch, and yet it is you who dare
to do the things that you have done"
ave are under orders" he answered.
"The further we go into France the
worse we shall do. II is commanded.
Otherwise we shall be killed our
selves"
Let US return to the Germans who
were applying fire and blood. They
led away fifteen men, old men, 70 q

them leave the shed. General Clauss,
who was in command of two regi-

table charged with champagne. and was
drinking, during the time that his
soldiers were arranging the poor IN
happy old men. getting them ready 20
be shot. They had bound them in
groups of five, and they shot them in
three patches. They now lie buried in
the same spot.
The general said: "When | have filed
my cup and as I raise il 10 my lips

PART II

During the days Of fire and blood
Sister Julie was acting Mayor of Ger
b6viller. 1t was no light jo0 for she
had TO steer an invading army away
from her hospital of wounded men, and
she was the source of courage for the
village of peasants, who were being
hunted and tortured. Many months
have passed. and nothing is left OF
those days but crumbled stone and
village graves and an everlasting mem
ory. But she is still the soul Of Ger
beviller. Pilgrims come 70 her from
the provinces Of France and give her
money for her poor and sick. The
village still has need of her. l saw
her with the woman whose aged moth
or was shot before her eyes and with
the mother whose little boy was muir

She went on with her story:

As soon as the Germans came they
began their work by taking hostages,
the same number as that of the munic-
ipal councillors. They led them all
away to the end of town by the bridge,
on the road which leads to Rambler
villers. A German passed, and when
he saw them he shouted out:
"See the flock of sheep. They are
taking you away to be shot" And he
pointed out TO them with his fingers
the place of their torment
In the morning four or five officers
arrived TO hear testimony trom some
of the men. II was Leonard the
grocer. who told me that four persons
were questioned.

door to the hospital?" an officer asked.
Leonard stepped forward.

Leonard replied: ~ am sure that it

He was forced TO write his deposit

"Sign il. and follow me. ! am sure
that | saw bullets come from that part
of the street. Certainly men were
there who fired on our chiefs"
They also said to him that our chas-

That was by incendiary bombs The
day after the fires we saw empty cans,

THE WHISPER
1t is no surprise that some may re-
proach you,
Envious that we are again together,
That you come as fond and dear as OK
old time,
Come when you should not;
For we two, in all the ways that we
wander,
Ever whisper, each to the other, softly;
as there maid on earth that would
fain be far from
One that she loved so?"
ANACT0RIA
Pain Of longing wrings the heart in my
bosom,
Pain Of loss, and grief for the days
that blending
Kiss and song with dreams OF an end
less summer,
Came not to sever;
For saw you then as / always see you,
Rather like a nymph than a mortal
maiden,
Fair as Helen was in her golden beauty,
Leda's white daughter;
So you seemed, as fair as the fairest
woman,
When wove with yearning for you the
garland,
Hyacinth and rose, that hung in the
purple
Dusk at your doorway.

submarine which was submerged at
the time OF the attack and remained
beneath the surface after the ex-
plosion.
THE conclusion thus reported from
the evidence in affidavits Cbeing those
OF American citizens) collected by the
department of state. is substantiated
by the statement in the imperial gov
ernment's note of April 10. 1916. Ac-
cordirg to those statements:
Evidence and Comments
"A. A German submarine tOrpedoed
4 steamer one and one-haif miles
southeast Of Bull Rock Bank.
Departments comment-The point
Of attack is exactly in the course which
was taken by the Sussex after pass
ing Dungeness and about half a mile
from the place where the captain OF
the Sussex states he was torpedoed.
"B. The attack took place at 1855
o'clock pm, central European time
Departments comment - 1855 pm.
central European time would CORE
spond to 2:55 pm. western European
time. The time of the striking of the
torpedo, according to the captain of
the Sussex and the stopping of the
clocks on board the vessel was 2: so
pm. western time.
&C. The torpedo, when it struck.
caused an explosion which tore away
the whole foreship up to the bridge
Departments comment-The fore
part of the Sussex was wrecked as
, fay. Oh hn tor inht ,,llz
head, according to the official reports.
ID. The German submarine was
submerged when the torpedo was
! launched, and there is no statement
| that it came to the surface after thu,
attack.
Department comment - The con-
| clusion was reached that the subma-
| rine was submerged, from the fact
| that no one on the Sussex saw a sub
| marine, though the weather was fine
e. No warning was given, and no
attempt was made to give one, since it
is not mentioned
| Departments comment-The evil
dence collected shows affirmatively no
warning was given.
IF. A sketch by the submarine
commander of the steamer which he
tor2edoed does not agree with pho
tograph of the Sussex in the London
Graphic.
Departments comment-This sketch
apparently was made from memory of
an observation of the vessel through
u periscope. AS the only differences
noted by the commander, who relied
on his memory, were the position of
the smokestack, and the shape of the
stern. it is to be presumed the vessels
were similar in other respects.
&c. No other German submarines
on that day attacked steamers in that
locality.
Departments comment-As no yes
sci is reported to have been torpedoed
without warning by submerged sub
marine other than the Sussex. it il
beyond question that the vessel was
torpedoed by the submarine whose
commanders report is relied upon in
the note of April TO-"
Arizona republican., 1916-04-20
THE NOTE
CONTINUED from Page One)

from my government, the following
reply to your eXcellency:
Information now in the possession
of the government of the United
States fully establishes the facts in
the case of the Sussex and the in
ferences which my government has
drawn. from that information is re-
garded as confirmed by the circum-
stances set forth in your excellency's
note of the tenth instant.
"On the oath Of March, 1916 at
about $50 o'clock in the afternoon
the marmed steamer Sussex, with
325 or more passengers on board,
among whom were a number of
American citizens, was torpedoed
while crossing from Folkstone to
Dieppe.
Sussex Not Armed
The Sussex had never been armed {:
was a vessel known to be habitually
used only for the conveyance of pas
sengers across the English channel,
and was not following the route
taken by troop ships or supply ships
About eighty of her passengers, nom
combatants of all ages and sexes, in
Guiding citizens of the United States
were killed or injured.
"A careful, detailed and scrupulOusly
impartial investigation by naval and
military officers of the United States
has conclusively esta blished the fact
that the Sussex was torpedOed with
out warning or summons to surrender
and that the torpedo by which she
was sunk was of German manufac-
lure. In the view of the government
of the United States these facts from
the first made the conclusion that
the torpedo was fired by a German
submarine unavoidable. 1t now con-
siders that conclusion substantiateC
by the statements Of your excel
lency's note. A full statement of the
facts upon which the government OF
abe United States has based its con-
clusions is enclosed.
Situation is Grave
THE government Of the United
States, after having given careful con-
sideration to the note of the imperia
government of April 10, regrets tC
state that the impression made upOT
il by the statements and proposals
contained in that note is that the i'm
perial government has failed to ap
preciate the gravity of the situation
which has resulted, not alone from The
attack on the Sussex, but from the
