BLAMES SYSTEM BUT NOT
PEOPLE OF HUN EMPIRE.

Washington, Oct. 15.-In face
of the clamor for retaliation and
repayment in kind the carrying
Of the war, with all the destruc'
ton and atrocities as practlced
by the Germans, on to the soil OF
the Teutonic empire, Senator
John. Sharp Williams Of Mlsslss-
ippi arose in the Senate and pro
tested against any such action.
81 do not want to see ruined
Germany" he said. God knows
there is ruin enough on this earth
now. | want to see broken Ger
man army. 1 want to see a
ruined Prussian and Austrian au-
tocracy; i want to see the fiat OF
the civilized world 60 forth to the
effect that the Hohenzollerns and
the Hapsburgs have ceased to
reign; | want to see the people OF
Austria-Hungary and Of Germany
take the government of their land
into their own hands, but it would
give my heart no qualification to
burn a single German village or
to retaliate for the death of Bel
gian women by killing German
women"
Continuing, Senator Williams
said:
Il never heard Of one atrocity
being cured by another. That
blessed old friend &c my grand
fathers, Jeerson Davis, the pres
ident of the Confeder" could
never be persuaded to retaliate
upon the ground that he did see
how the punishment Of the inno-
cent could cure the crime OF the
wicked. If you will show me the
thief who looted the houses in Bel
GUM / would punish him. | would
deal likewise with the individual
who ordered the looting. II you
show me the man who fired upon
the Lusitania and fired the see
ond shot after she was already
helpless would have him tried
by a court martial and shot upon
German soil"
Senator Williams was educated
in Germany. His knowledge OF
German people led him to ask:
"Do you think all the modest
merchants and all the peasants in
Germany serving in the armies
are carrying any hammer OF Thor!
They probably never heard OF
Thor, or his hammer either. But
have been disciplined and taught
thew are-I know them-one OF
the most docile, while they are
one of the most emotional people
on the face of the earth. For
forty or fifty years they had been
Underlined with a religion new
to the world since the Roman en-
pire died, the religion OF state
worship.
EDO You hate them for being
thus Influenced? / do not. !
pity them with my whole soul. l
hate the fellows who organized
the machine, and made of them
nothing but cogs and springs in
it, but I do not hate them"
