OUR PART IL THE WAR.
tFrom Daily Financial America,

| -. i. (From Daily Financial American
| The military strength of the United States is re-
garded with contempt by General Won LudendOrff,
who is described in foreign cables 1.-The brain that
conceives Germany's military plans
| The generals contempt, 50 far any possible
military participation by in this is concerned
is perhaps not msdireeted. 1t is to be noted, how
ever that he is not recorded derding strength
in other connections.
Americans realize that the right arm of American
preparedness is not to exist in armies Rather it is
to exist in the navy and it is for that reason that
present preparedness appropriations favor fleets
and slight our armies. General Won LudendOrf is
quite safe in limiting his contempt to what would
constitute our minor means of defense and offense
in case of war
Nor does the general have anything to say about
our other elements of strength In the event that
the United States enters the the side of the
Allies its participation would he largely embodied
in assisting in financing and supplying Britain and
France This country would contribute large credits
for further supplies and its navy would convoy the
vessels bearing these supplies.
We probably would not, in case of our entering
the war; send single soldier in the uniform of the
United States to the battlefront But our navy
would assist in keeping the transatlantic lanes
open; it would release Allied warships now on duty
off coasts, and the trade of Britain and France
and our country with the neutral world would pro-
coed with no great interference from German sub
marines H.. ii. ...
Germanys talk of caring little if the United
States enters the is purely political in purpose
Germany is Historically anxious that we shall not
enter the now; little later it may indeed make
no difference. For'if the submarine campaign fails
and there evidences that it is already slaeken-
ing Germany's defeat is sure and the entrance of
the United States into the conflict would make little
or no difference in that result.
As for the efficacy of American military strength
in the present @ar-General Won Ludendorff is
right. We congratulate him. not for his vision on
this point however, but for his clarity Of view as
to our strength otherwise. This is so apparent to
him that he maintains discreet silence upon it,

warning powers of Europe to believe
that we are a divided nation, and,
worst of all. at the most critical mo-

Russians at Lincoln are angered at six

preachers and their 5000 members OF
congregations"
Two of the preachers strongly pro-

which urged President Wilson to

These two pastors state their names

their consent and without their know

CATION are being heard from in stormy
protest. The matter was never
broached to the congregation, they de-
clare.
They declare they are not in favor
of asking President Wilson to keep us
out of war with Germany and that their
preachers, with a leaning toward Ger

BY GERMAN PRESS
The Berlin Newspapers
Complain That President
Wilson Has Never Been
Neutral in Attitude.

Berlin, March ,7.-(Wireless)-
official German press agency today
made public these extracts from Ger
man afternoon newspapers commenting
on President Wilson's inaugural ad-
dress with the subjoined observations:
Evening newspapers generally COM
ment on President Wilson and his ad-
dress in bitter terms, pointing out that
according to his words, the president
considers it Incompatible with Amer
lean honor to interrupt for a short
while the traffic with France and Eng
land, but that for several years he has
considered it perfectly compatible with
this honor to submit to the British
command and limit traffic and almost
all intercourse with Germany.
ALLEGES PARTIALITY.
"The newspapers insist that the
president thus already long ago intro
duced into American politics a stand
ard of partial neutrality by which he
conceded to one party the right to
warfare, while he denied the same
right to the other party.
Newspapers discussing the humani-
tartan point of view, especially the
Austro Hungarian note, say:
1t is more in keeping with the prin-
ciples of humanity il persons are pre-
vented from going aboard endangered
ships by timely warning than to leave
to chance their rescue at sea-"

DEMOCRATS OF MISSOURI
BITTER AGAINST STONE

st. Louis, March 7.-Senator William
]. Stone was hard hit today in resolu-
tlons passed by several Democratic
ward organizations last night. He was
branded a traitor and asked to give an
account of his action in not supporting
President Wilson's armed neutrality.
Each organization indorsed an editor
ial printed in the Post-Dispatch, which
said in part:
THE lack of cloture rule is not the
only flaw in the organization of the
United States senate. There is an
other-there is 'Gumshoe BIZ Stone at
the head of the foreign relations COM
mittee.
Resignation from the Craftsmanship
of the foreign relations committee and
from the senate would be the most be-
coming act of stones career. II Stone
