GERMAN. HUMANITY.

Berlin newspapers profess they
cannot even understand the sentl-
ments of humanity and of brother
hood and democracy contained IN the
address of President Wilson to Rus
STA. They say that they cannot rec
oncile these expressions with the dis
position of Mr.. Wilson to continue
the horrible war.
AS a contemporary says, certainly
they cannot reconcile anything that
runs counter to German aims. 1t
would be very nice for this country
to simply accept the German view,
permit the peace intrigue to prosper
and Germany to rule the world.
Rather than to continue the war
whose barbarous features are large
ly contributed by the Germans them
selves.
AS illustration Of the gratultious
bar5arity that is ppacticed may be
cited the treatment Of crews of tor
pedoed merchantmen as set forth by
Mr.. Wesley Frost, former United
States consul at Queenstown:
"Recent sinkings which came under
my observation since the beginning
of the ruthless warfare show this
conclusively. A freighter loaded with
iron ore and conveyed by destroy
e. went down in two minutes. Eigh-
teen of the crew of twenty-six were
drowned. Another sank in two minu-
ties after being struck. She was
hit in daylight, but the submarine
was not seen. Twenty eight Of her
crew of thirty-two persisted"
To the German, brutality is hui
mainly when committed by or for
Germans.

SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS

The Richmond Journal in comment
ing upon the recent air raid OF the
Germans upon London and the kill
ing of non-combattants, old and
young, says that the screams of little
childreny the sobs OF stricken women
and the gasps of crippled men,
doubtless, have a dulcet sound in
the ears of the imperial German
government, judging from past per-
formances. The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ten personal decoration by the kai-
ser of the infamous assassin respon-
sible for the torpedoing of the Lusi-
tania is a fair Indication of the bar
barous attitude of the German rulers
toward that and kindred exhibitions
of inhumanity. Whether or not an
other public school holiday was or
dered when news of the wanton kill
ing of the twenty-six children of
London was announced is not stated.
1t would not be surprising, however.
Posterity will hold the so-called
kultured Germans up to execratlon
as monsters.

WILSON AND MARTIN

Scott C. Bone writes as follows
of President Wilson and Senator
Martin in the Seattle Post-1ntellig
encer:
"President Wilson occasionally goes
to the Capitol for conference. Some
times his visits arc unexpected. On
Monday he went to the Senate to
confer with Martin, of Virginia, who
has succeeded Kern. of Indiana (re~
tired on March AZ, as majority
leader.
There is more than party Bond
between Woodrow Wilson and
Thomas Staples Martin, although
their early lives did not bring them
into close relationship.
'The Senator, the elder by nine
years, was born near Charlottesville
in 1874: the president at Staunton,
a. hundred miles or so away IN 1856.
Thomas Staples Martin has held
but one oifice-this high office he now
holds. He stepped from private life
into the United States Senate. That
was in 1895. He was of a new scnool
of Southern statesmanship-a sort Of

London Worried at Receiving \
News Since Thursday.


London, June 16.-The DAILY
Chronicle says there has been no d.
rect news of events in Spain of later
date than Thursday, and, in view OF
the uncertain political situation,
vague rumors have gained currency
as to the spread of the revolutionary
movement in the country.
British business firms with inter
ests in Spain regard the situation
as grave. The censorship is of the
strictest character, and all business
and trade communications are held
up.
Demands for reforms by military
committees led to much trouble and
directly produced the cabinet crisis
which apparently ended Monday last,

Peasants Do Not Want Peace.

Russia will fight it out.
That is what. the State Department
was told yesterday by an american
expert who. has just returned from
tour of Russia. He was not there IN
an official capacity, but made a close
Study of conditions.
This is how he describes the sltua-
ton:
"There are about 100000 work
men, members of the Workmen's and
Soldiers Council, who are teeiering
in regard to the war. They are WILL
ing to conclude separate peace at
any favorable opportunity. They have
a considerable voice in the govern
ment. With them are the radical
Socialists and anarchists who preach
peace under any circumstances.
"But lined up against this COM
bination are the peasants and farm
ers of the nation. They do noe want
peace. because it will cost them what
they have just gained after years
of fighting-self government, especi-
allv form of local self-government'
"These men-millions of them, want
to 90 on with the war as the only
means of attaining complete liberty
The workmen and anarchists are
mostly located in the cities, cencers
of population from which the news
of Russia emanates. 1t naturally is
their views which reach America
through press channels.
"The Russian army is mostly
peasant army. The peasants arc the
troops who shot down disioyal forces
recruited from the cities only a re"
days ago. 1t is only the troops quart
cred in or recruited from cities which
have shown any signs OF disloyalty.
