THIS WRITER SEES SOME
GOOD QUALITIES IN GERMANY
Feb. 5. 1917.

Editor The Record:
While in your city this evening
and visiting In the office of a friend.
have been looking over your excel
lent little paper. I was interested
and somewhat amused In reading Mr..
Gibbs gentle opinions. I would like
TO ask just how President Wilson
could Judge as TO who was the as-
gressor. II is clear that In his own
mind Mr.. Gibbs IL convinced that Ger
many is the guilty party: but there
arc great number Of facts which arc
prejudiciai to a like conviction In the
minds OF many close student OF the
affair. Here are just a few:
Germany has less territory acaulr-
ed by conquest from other nations
than any other one OF the powers en-
gagged in the present war; (and
might include another power which Is
about TO enterl.
Germany remained at peace with
the world for a period OF ~ years:
a mark which even our own great
republic has not yet attained. She
would have reached II between 1915
and 1851 had she not seen At to en-
gage In q little war OF aggression IN
the meantime which netied her some
10000 square miles Of territory. IN
area more than twice the size Of the
German empire In Europe.
Germany was the only natiou on
earth to suggest that Austria and Ser
bia be left TO settle their quarrel with
out outside interference. and with
serbia's territorial integrity guaran-
teed by the other powers.
As to the Armeuians. their plight
Is indeed pi,iful. Indeed. understand
that they have been badly treated rs
have certain prosecuted people in bar
barons Turkeys nearby enemy. en-
iightencd Russia. II the news ac-
counts are to be believed. the Ar
menianE are sometimes murdered up>
on a slight provocstion as were the
several thousand persons who were
massacred In the streets of St Peters
burg one Sabbath day few years ago,
because they dared ask for bread
when they were hungry.
However. there wero serious objcc-
tions TO Mr.. Gibbs plan. n every
ship and every gun" had been sent.
ms he suggests. the Sultan would
have had reception committee walt
ing at the Dardanelies and, in all
probability the feet would have been
welcomed with the same joyous aban-
don that was 70 conspicuousiy dis
played upon the occasion OF the visit
OF two or three other feets OF fairly
respectable standing in the commun-
ity. So. what's the use? Perhaps We
can use our navy to- better advantage
in helping Great Britain 20 maintain
what our State department calls an
Illegal and indefensible" blockade.
