NEWS OF REVOLT GREATLY
INTERESTS NAVY DEPT

Washington, Oct. 10.-Few dis
patches since the war began created
more interest at the navy department
than reports from Amsterda telling
Of a revolt in the German navy, and
officers here unhesitatingly declared
the story one of the most omininous
signs from a German view, but most
encouraging for the allies.

LEE AND Won HlNDENBURG.

The accounts that come from
France of the shocking brutalities
perpetrated by the retreating Ger
mans in devastating the territory
they have been compelled to give up,
wrecking houses, cutting down fruit
trees, running. fields so far as they
could, and .-,pillaging everywhere;
have moved the Boston Transcript
to compare such atrocities with the
methods of our own civil war Par
ticulariy it touches upon the respect
for property shown by General Lee
in his invasion of Pennsylvania in
1868.
After referring to the unpreceG-
ented and senseless destructiveness
| of the Germans in France the Tran
script says.
I'VE may SEE how far German
militarism has carried the record Of
war backward on the road to bar
barism by noting what General Lee
really did. He touched nothing that
was not of the most direcI need to
his army, and even for that he
pledged such payment as he and the
Confederacy were able to make. He
was scrupulously careful not to
disturb the loyal people, non-com-
batants, in their occupations. The
farmers not in the direct path of
the armies went on tilling their fields
The wheels Of the little factories
and mills which were not in the way
of the troops went on turning. There
was mandatory Of Shoes at
Chambersburg. Lee took some shoes
for his most barefooted men. and
paid for them as best he could; and
the shop went on with its work. Not
non-confbatant was disturbed. And
when Lee was gone out Of region,
even the oaks and locustS on the
hills were undisturbed save as the
rain of shot and shell had scaled
their bark or broken their branches,
and the aftermath was reaped that
same year on the fields that he had
watered with the blood of his de-
voted soldiers. No Pennsylvania
ever had occasion to remember Lee
as destroyer.

ward Americans; they have no dis
position to add them to their list OF
enemies; the list is inconvenlently
long now. But America doesn't keep
it's ships and its citizens at home.
Of course, if they venture upon the
sea they must expect to be shot at
sight. But shot without the least
unfriendly feeling. Germany has no
thought of attacking US: But if we
get in her way we shall get hurt and
it will be entirely our fault.
Among children this is rather
amusing mental attitude. Among
adults it is exasperating Persons

PACIFIC GERMANY.

The Philadelphia Record directs at
tention "The Carravaners" in which
the Countess Won Arnim, which is
said to be the real name of Eliza
beth of the German Garden" has
given the most perfect picture of the
Prussian. Nobody knew before this
war how perfect picture it was.
Otto was in constant trouble with
everybody, and lie knew precisely
what the reason was; everybody else
was wrong: everybody was hateful.
He said sadly that he awoke in the
morning feeling perfectly amiable
and friendly toward all the world.
But Immediately people began doing
things he didn't like, or they didn t
do the things-for his own comfort
that he insisted on. OF course. he
couldn't help being cross to every
body; it was their fault.
The Record aptly says here is
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg,
a perfect Otto translated from liter
ature into actual life and elevated
to an officia! position of the highest.
He and the country for which he
speaks do not want war; they never
did want war; they have passion
for peace; but nations keep getting
in their way, objecting to what they
want to do, doing what Germany
doesn't like, and, of course. Germany
has to fight them all It is the simp-
lest thing in the world to keep at
peace with Germany; all you have to
do is to give up everything that Ger
many wants and do everything that
Germany tells you to. Of course, if
yqlr>don'ts give up and obey there will
be war, but: it will be wholly your
own fault.
The Germans feel most kindly to-

THE TRUE GERMAN-AMERlcAN

One of the most pregnant pieces
sc writing. defining the German
course that we have seen in PRINT
was written by German-Ameriea'i
and addressed to the editor OIL the
Richmond Journal. 1t breathet ten
der regard for the Fatherland; IL
reflected sincere admiration OF the
loiser for his many good acts OF
word and deed in the past, but III
fearlessly and justly arralgned MIN
for entering upon course OF "orlu
conquest. To quote his language:
81 cannot now doubt that it has
heen the constant purpose OF the
rulers of the German people to pre-
mare them to subjugate France, des-
noil Russia, cripple England and
ruthlessly to violate the Monroe DOC
trine of this country, which for a
hundred years has protected the
weaker American states from Euro
pean aggression. l cannot doubt
that the assassination of. the crown
prince of Austria was made a pre-
text for the beginning OF war;
every step of which had been fore
seen and laboriously prepared for
The friendship and dependence of
Turkey has been assiduously cult
waited by the adroit Wilhelm for the
last twenty-five years, so that to the
arts and sciences of the Teuton race
he could add the Drawn and reckless
courage of the half civilized Moham-
medans."
Then follows most vigorous APP
peal to his fellow GermanAmericans
to refrain from supporting in any
wise rulership "that plans and lab
ors with endless patience" for a day
when he may bring sorrow and
bloodshed upon the world like unto
which has not been known since the
deluge." That the United States has
done for the sons and daughters of
German immigrants is graphically
set forth. The communication closes
as follows: Brethren from the
fatherland, this is our motherland.
This land has begotten us and nour-
ished us and made us happy. Why
should We not give the devotion of
our whole hearts to this land of the
free. so that we may help even more
to make it the home of the brave, and
likewise of the true?'
This is the answer to the German
chancellor; this is why Germany can
not win and why the note of doubt,
now so apparent, is permeating the
reichstag, unconsciously disseminated
by the highest authority.
