BERLIN, July 12. (Special Cable.)
The newest sport of the press here Is
to tell us daily of the violent inrer in
America over the terms of the Ver
sailles treaty and how completely
the American people have withdrawn
their confidence from President Wilson
because he approved the treaty. The
last report I read aaid the name of the
president had been hooted in Carnegie
hall. New York, in a public meeting,
thus demonstrating; the anger of the
people and proving that the president-!
"nimbus" had been destroyed.
Articles of similar purport appear In
print almost every day. They are not
without danger, either In purpose or
effect, and they are deserving of at
tention in America, for their tendency
Is to nourish the belief that the treaty
is a bit of shameless devilwork. and
that all men who are even half striv
ing for Justice must condemn it. From
N such belief must spring Impulses that
will foster a spirit to avenge such a
hellish and deceitful production.
After years of close blockade It 1
difficult here, where American news
papers seldom arrive and then long
after publication to gain a clear pic
ture of public opinion in the great re
public. In no country on earth, from
the time the people advanced from the
role of chorus to that of active partici
pants in affairs, has public opinion
ever, been recognisable from proceed
Ings In the sphere of senates, where
naturally conservative and often pluto
cratic currents flow stronger than in
the valley inhabited by the masses of
the people.
Hardest Expresses Fran.
T am inclined to the belief that
Americans have grown tired of Europe,
this peninsula springing from Asia
which presumes on special rights to
eternal world mastery, and that they
are turning their eyes to the colossal
circle of their own interests: and
fear they wilt dissociate themselves
"v, politically from the affairs of Europe,
owing to the narrowness of European
views and practices, sooner than may
be well for the cause of humanity.
European narrowness does not ap
peal to Americans who are eager for
action in high fields of human en
deavor. A special form of American
idealism and the metaphysical long
ings of the people are at the moment
demonstrated in the collection of huge
sums of money for Christian purposes
which cannot be fruitful on the barren
soil of European sober rationalism.
Despite all the reports spit out by
the propaganda machine which still
fortunately Improbable that American
antipathy for Germany has sufficiently
ebbed to make possible the stories we
are told of general public condemna
tion of the peace treaty.
Gerwaaay Mast Kill Amaer.
Probably It Is no longer believed on
the other side of the Atlantic that a
principal activity of the German sol
diery was to bayonet babies, and peo
ple have probably become distrustful of
other assertions or 'movie politics
and It may be that they no longer see

however, only by Germany itself, by
clear and decisive abandonment of the
brutality kult and parvenue pride, and
bv thoroueh truth and sincerity In con
ceding Individual and national faults,
without trying to belittle or to mag
nify them.
Americans who know Germany are
aware that it is not peopled wholly by
"Huns." Many experiences on the Eu
rrmean continent have taught the war
riors of the new world how close to
heroism pettiness and greed can dwell.
Bismarck, who. wth all his strongly
emphasized Prussianism was always
anti-milit.iristic and so hated by the
military party, said the wise Instinct
f the nation votil'l show ltslf in
guarding agaipst incurring the hatred
of other nations.
Thre is no doubt that in the same
country In which American warriors
encountered the deep chasm between
the real and the Ideal, the President
also became painfully aware of these
contrasts and differences. If men were
to be deterred from striving for ideal
conditions for humanity merely be
cause at first the thing sought might
not be obtained, humankind would not
have advanced beyond the missing link
between the monkey and the caveman.
Treaty Practically Ideal.
One who can view the Versailles
treaty without partisan prejudice,
through neither German nor American
glasses, must confess that from the
hour of Its birth In conferences It came
as near being ideal as accumulated In
ternational hatreds permitted.
Never before had a peace treaty such
a deep ethical foundation. Never before
did It occur, in advance of confirmation,
that a projected treaty would be adapt
ed in its operations to all the new
events and conditions of life, and there
fore it would not rigidly handicap the
proper development of any nation. This
announcement must soon bring Ger
many wiihln the league of nations,
cleansed of its former frightful and un
cleanly national experiences.
Not only will there be salvation for
us in the new order of affairs. Defy
ing all senatorial opposition. I foresee
that the man who. amid the uproar of
iolent passion, was able to put throurh
this code whereby humanity is to be
cleansed and cleanly directed, assured
ly represented worthily his fatherland.
although the immediate accomplish
ment is far from his Ideal, and he has
never rid his country of the stupid sus
picion that America is the land of the
struggle only for material gain.
To be sure, as Uoetne wisely said,
no man is a hero to his valet. One
living every day In touch with the
shortcomings and weaknessea that
cling to the Individual, however a-eat
he may be tn large affairs, easily loses
the "nimbus' that may be readily seen
from the distance. Every head of a
state, crowned er uncrowned, when
seen from near by. appears small to
those accustomed to the old style of
hero worship. .
I can readily understand how the uni
versal human Interests that guided
America during her participation in the
actual conflict of war may now seem
little more than phrasemaklng to prac
tical politicians who think it now time
to look after America a apecial needs,
and that new alms and ambitions should
stir the thonghts of the people or
should be pushed to the foreground for
partisan or other purpose. But the
stubbornly repeated assertion sounds
incredible to me that the tavor of the
people and the love and rcrspect of the
