He emphasized the fact that the German element In our population had num bered some of our most valued cit izens, but he had only the most scathing denunciation for the Ger man who had become American only to the extent of profiting by our in stitutions and opportunities, and was still German enough to sympathize with our enemies and express tral- torlons sentiments.

Maximilian Harden devotes 13 closely printed pages In the latent liwue of "Die Zu kunft" to reproducing "the real texts" of the recent speeches of President Wilson and Premier Llovd George. He says thoughtful and con scientious men should read the speeches quietly and without preln dice and criticises In astonishingly outspoken fashion Germany's at titude toward Austrian in the con duct of the Russian negotiations. Herr Harden virtually accuses Germany of forcing Austria-Hungary Into the "war and says peace might have been obtained the first week at Brest-Litovsk If the Germans had not posed as conquerera snd had not demanded territory. Referring to President Wilson's speech. Herr Harden says: "Belief Is still firm that peace Is possible and that the cleavage be tween the two fighting groups no longer is so wide that It can be filled only by new heaps of corpses. It will, however, widen into an un bridgeable gulf if the people again refuse to acknowledge a changed world."
