Boston, Mass, May 2.-War prohibi.

and favored its extension to our Euro

"The United States could make good

hons Of bushels of grain to spare for
the better feeding of its own people if
it should put cut the fires in the brewer

bakeries grain hitherto used in making
fire water,' said Foss.
" There is no doubt OF it. War probi-
bltlon is the burning issue of the i'm

German Editor Scores
Kaiser; Praises Wilson

Copenhagen, via london, May .. -
Maximilian Harden. the German
"enfant terrible. F" publishes in the
latest issue of Die Zukunft another
darinely frank article exposing to
German realCrs the "shams, pretenses
and mistakes Of their government 5
policy.
The article is devoted 10 the entry
of the United States into the war,
which Herr Harden warns the people
must be taken most seriously. He de-
clared with daring to which probably
no other German publieist is equal that
Germany's peace oyertures were put
forward only as n bridge over which
Germany could pass 10 relentless sub
marine warfare.
Consistent with his earlier attitude,
Herr Harden has only words Of high
praise for President Wilson and his
policy, and reveals in vigorous passages
a sighting opinion of DR.. Alfred Zim-
mermann, which he did not conceal at
the time of Zimmerman 5 elevation to
ministerial rank.
Another article Herr Harden culmin-
ates in an appeal to Germany TO put
the interior OF her house in order and
introduce democratic conditions, which
the writer says is the only sure basis for
future peace.
Scarcely less noteworthy than his
seating criticism of German diplomacy
(but not that of Count Won Bern
storff, former ambassador TO the
United States, whose work he praiSes)
is Herr Harden S justification to Ger
man readers of America S attitude dur
ing the war, and his demolition, for ex-
ample, of the favorite pan. Germanie
arguments that the United States was
inspired solely by dollar chasing and
looked upon war only as a source for en-
OrmOus profits from munition supplies
The United States, Herr Harden de-
clares, could have continued to amass
riches, not from munition
contracts, from which only minute
part of its income was derived, but as a
world IS source of supply Instead, he
adds, the United States chose for an
ideal to reject a continuance of its prof
table neutrality to load itself with a
burden of expenditures which no other
country could safely bear Those who
would profit, he tells his readers, can
be sought nearer home, in the ranks of
those wanting to retain Belgium, the
Briey iron district, Courland and Lii
yonia.

ested to know that he now is with the
American Ambulance corps on the
Marne battlefield in Juilly, France.
Mr.. Patterson joined the American
Ambulance corps in December of last
year and sailed for Paris about Janu-

IN Paris, during which time he lived
in the chateau once occupied by EN-

was dispatched to the second line in
the battle of the Marine, where his
work has taken him so close to the fir

cO-workers have had to make use of
the gas mask.
The humorous side of the life of an
American abroad in war service has
not been overlooked by Mr. Patterson,
and of one episode he writes:
