RUNNING
GERMANY mid tin Germans have a first class con
tempt for tin United States, which they have taken
little pains to conceal. Because this nation has not prosti
tuted its energies for militarism, and we have no large
standing army, we are defied, insulted and bullied, and war
with America regarded almost as much of a joke in Berlin
as war with Belgium.
The joke is on Berlin or will be when the knell ceases
ringing. Will's are won not only by armies and navies, but
by brains, money and men, and there is no dearth of any
of the three in the great republic.
It is American brains working through American in
ventions that make the tremendous destructive efficiency
of war today. The aeroplane, the submarine, the torpedo,
the chaser, the telegraph and telephone, the machine guns
and the high explosives originated with Americans.
American engineers, American crews and American or
ganizations are, playing no small part with the advancing,
allies.
As to American money, Comptroller Williams
asserts that the assets of our national banks ag
gregate over sixteen billion dollars, exceeding over
$"),()()(),()()() the combined resources of the Bank of England,
the Bank of France, the Bank of Italy, the Bank of Spain,
the Bank of Norway, the Bank of Sweden, the Swiss Na
tional Jiank, the National Bank of Denmark, the Bank of
Japan and tint Keichsbank of Germany. The gold in the
United States treasury exceeds that of all the rest of the
world over three billions in bullion.
There is no dearth of patriotism. no dearth of men. A
population exceeding 1()0,000,000 can turn out ten millions
for army and navy if needed. , Any nation, at war with
nearly all the world, which purposely and deliberately adds
the United States to its list of warring enemies is simply
running amuck, crazed by the lust for slaughter.
A BILLION FOR FRANCE.
TILE NEW YORK WOULD suggests that the most
practical participation of the United States in the war
against Germany would be a contribution of one billion dol
lars to the republic of France. This gift would be in recog
nition of the battle for democracy that France has so gal
lantly fought as well as a grateful appreciation of the arms
and money supplied the United States during the Avar of
the American revolution.
As war expenses go nowadays, a billion dollars does not
go far and that amount could easily be spent without any
thing of note having been accomplished and the way to
make the money go farthest is to supply tho deficiencies
of the allies. The World says:
'.Mon talk glibly about sending an nrmv of 500,000 men or 1,000,000
men to Muropo without tho faintest realization of the military folly of such.
an undertaking. If wo tried It wo should bo helping Germany, not tho Al
lies. There are not ships enough available to transport oven the minimum
force that theso enthusiasts name, or
landed in France. Whilo we were sending troops wo should be starving
the French and lliitlsli, and thorehy aiding tho work of the German sub
marines. Wo should bo doing for German Frigbtfulness what it has not
boon ablo to do lor itself. Wo cannot send an army to Franco except a
comparatively small force of regulars who should bo sent thero for senti
mental reasons; but we can provide tho money, tho credit, tho food and
Hie supplies that are vital to the armies of the Allies, and we can employ
tho last ounce of our naval power In keeping tho ocean thoroughfares open
to tho ships that feed and equip the forces in the trenches. France needs
our help, and tho help that Franco needs most of all is financial. No oth
er $1,000,000,000 which tho United States government could expend as a
belligerent would produce such military results as tho outright girt of this
money to the French people. No other $ 1,000,000,000 would go so far
toward eliding Hie war and establishing poaco in ICuropo.

EXPECT BREAK
El
TO FOLLOW NEXT
WASHINGTON, April X Wheth
er llie Gemuin government will permit
publication in Germany of President
Wilson's address was a question of
great interest today at tlie state de-
ourtment. The sharp line drawn by
the president in his uddress between
the (jertnnn people and the autocracy
which rules them is regarded us pro
viding additional fuel for the unrest
in Germany which 1ms been recogniz
ed even by Chancellor Von l'ctlimann
lloilweg.' The sharp focusing of attention
I'otighout the world by the presi
dent's address on the present autoc
racy f Germany is expected lo make
somo curtailment of that niilocritcy
essential as a pence preliminary..
The British anil French even before
the terrible devastation of northern
France, have many times, even in
high quarters, demanded actual
apitnl punishment for a few lending
statesmen ill Germany to whom the
wnr is attributed. The attitude of
tlie United States toward those of
ficials while not so bitter will nev-
erlheless tend lo increase that fooling-.
11 is very probable, therefore, Hint u
;i:r.cri:! connition of peacev will be
eirc very decided action towards the
attlocrncv.
While the Austrian, Bnlgnrinn nnd
Turkish situation remains just as it
was for tlie present so far as this
ouiilvy is concerned it is probable
that Germany will force those nations
to her side. Austria, deeply nffect-
ed by freedom in Russia, nnd fearful
of a break with this country, Hul-
urin, already satisfied with her war
results and anxious for peace with
out disaster; Turkey overrun from
four sides through her richest tern-
lories by Eussinn nnd British troops
all are Known to be ready for peace
negotiations on very reasonable
terms. Germany, however, has built
up during the war a domination in
those countries which may not "be
broken.
