LM 1J ?-* ?? iiai i iii-j' ^iiuiiia uo That they forgot, never to be re died, any suspicion of lack of neu ality or friendship towards the (lor an people on the part of the presi t of the United States.

That (iermany should acquiesce ii inlands that have been made b; ie United States without conditio) usting the "United States to deu istly with her in the consideration o ny changes she may propose in tii iternational rules that govern th iking of prizes," growing .out o jbniari'ne warfare. Mr. Bryan declared that Presiden Wilson had been unjustly criticise y partisans of both sides in the Eu ipean conflict; expressed confidentiat German-Americans would stain y their adopted country in case o as between the United States an ermany; maintained that killing <? ipocent women and children eithe y drowning or starving could no s justified and Suggested a chang i the shipping laws to excludo^pa^ ;ngers from ships carr^^^^B^ To the (ierman-Ampri'pflns A Patriot Word "Permit me to address a word t 3u as one American citizen speakini ? follow citizens in whose patriotisr j has entire confidence. It is nat ral that in a contest between you itherland and other European na ons your sympathies si aid he wit! te country of your birth, it is m tuse for censure that this is true would be a reflection upon you i were not true. Do not the sons o reat Britain sympathize with thei other country? Do not the sons o ranee sympathize with theirs? I it the same true of Russia and o aly? Why should it not be true o lose who are born in Germany o ustria? The trouble is that the ex emists on both sides have mistakei natural achievement felt for birth ace for disloyalty to this country. "The president has been unjustl] iticised by the partisans of botl des?the very best evidence of hi mtrality. If he had so conductei ie government as to wholly pleas ther side it would excite not onl; itonishment but mi'sfrivinjrs, for par sans can not ifive an unbiased idg i?nt; they will of necessity h>-.;i a ic (|uestion from their own po>> t o ew, giving praise or blame, a< < ord g to the act, regardless of it rea laractor, helps or hurts the si<i<- witl hieh they have aligned themselves The Gorman Plaint "The fact that the administr tio is received more criticism '-or ernian-Americans than from ;os i sympathy with the allies is t e t ie fact that while both sides are a herty under international lav. t jrchase ammunition in the 1 ite tales the allies, because of their -on ol of the seas, have the adva 'ag being able to export it. It i un utunate that partisan supporte o ermany should have overlooked th gal requirements of the situalio id have thus misunderstood th- po tion of the administration. The ad inistration's position has not <>nl; en perfectly neutial, but it i ul< it have been otherwise withou' i ilpable and intentional violation o ie rules governing neutrality.

El Stand By America I "While the attacks made upon the , president by the extremists of both sides were very unjust, it was equally unjust to suspect the patriotism of' those who took sides. I feel well ^ enough acquainted with the European-born Americans to believe that in a war between this country and - any European power, the naturalized citizens from that country would b?> as quick to enlist as native-born citizens. As 1 am now speaking to German-Americans, I am glad to repeat in public what I have often said in private and would have said in public f. before but for the fact that it would - not have been proper for one in my " official position to do so?nemely, that ? in case of war between the United [i States and Germany?if so improba ble a supposition can be considered? t German-Americans would be as s prompt to enlist and as faithful to f the flag as any other portion of our people. What I have said in regard 11 to the German-Americans is an ins troduction to an appeal which I feel e it my duty to make to them, n The President's Stand "First. If any of them have ever - in a moment of passion or exoitet ment suspected the president ?f lack n of neutrality or lack of friendship to ward the German government and n the German people, let that thought 0 be forgotten, never again to be rer called. I have, since my resignation, - received numerous telegrams from a German-Americans and German American societies commending my f action; I think the senders of these - telegrams understand my position, . but that no one may mistake it, let s me restate it. The president is not 1 only desirous of peace, but lie hopes !, for it and he has adopted the meth ods which lie thinks most likely to , contribute towards peace. My difference from him is as to method, not as to purpose, and my efforts since resigning have been intended to erystalize public sentiment in support of his efforts to maintain peace, or to use a familiar phrase?peace with honor, but to remember that when I use the phrase, peace with honor, I do not use it in the same sense ^ that those do who regard every opI ponent of war as favoring 'peace at any price.' 'Peace at any price' is an epithet, not a true statement of any one's position of of the policy of any ' group. The words are employed by jingoes as an expression of contempt | and are applied indiscriminately to . all who have faith in the nation's ability to find a peaceful way out of every difficulty so long as both nal. tions want peace. The alarmists of the country have had control of the ( metropolitan press and they have . loudly proclaimed that the prolongation of negotiations or the suggestion of international investigation ' would be a sign of weakness?and ' everything is weakness that does not I contain a hint of war. The jingo . Sees in the rainbow of promise only one color?red. How to Secure Peace "Second. Knowing that the Dresi I dent desires peace, it is your duty to " 1 help him secure it, and how? By exj^erting vpur^influence to convince the whmmM of th^s fact and to persuade that government to take no steps that would lead in the direction of war. My fear has been that the German government might, deo spairing of a friendly settlement g break off diplomatic relations, and a thus create a condition out of which i- war might come without the intention r of either country. I do not ask you to - minimize the earnestness of the presih dent's statement?that would be unci fair, both to him and to Germany. ; The sinking of the Lusitania can not f be defended upon the facts as we f understand them. The killing of inr nocent women and children can not be f justified, whetehr the killing is by s drowning or by starving; 110 nation f can successfully plead the inhumanf ity of her enemies as an excuse, r While it is true that cruelty is apt to _ beget crueltv. it can not be th;?! n the Mike cures like.' Even in war, - we are not absolved from the obligation to remedy evils by the influence y of jrooil example. 'Let your li^ht so h shine' is a precept that knows no s times nor seasons as it knows neither 1 latitude nor longitude, e "Third. Do not attempt to connect y the negotiations which are jroinjr on _ between the United States and Ger_ many with those between the United t States and Great Britain. The cases f are different, but even if they were . the same, it would be necessary to d treat with each nation separately, h My personal preference has been to j. repeat our insistence that the allies shall not interfere with our commerce with neutral countries, but the n difference on this point was a matn ter of judgment and not a matter of e principle. In the note to Great Brito ain dated March .'50, this government t said: o Expected Best riot ion d " 'In view of these assurances for mally tfiven to this government, it is e confidently expected that the exten sive powers conferred by the order f in council on the executive officers of e the crown will be restricted by "orn ders issued by the government" dii rectinj; the exercise of their discreI tionary powers in such a manner as y to modify in practical application d those provisions of the order in coun ? nil wliinh ir ?r?

Relying on the - faithful performance of these volun tary assurances by his majesty's gove ernment, the United States takes it I, for granted that the approach of t American merchantmen to neutral - ports situated upon the long line of coast affected by the order in conno cil will not be interfered with when J it is known that they do not carry t goods which are contraband of war e or goods destined to or proceeding e from ports within the belligerent h territory affected.'
