BRYAN SEEKS AID OF GERMAN-AMERICANS [Continued from First Pa«o.] United States and Germany with those between the United States and Great Britain because "the cases are differ ent." That Germany should acquiesce in demands that have been made by the United States without condition, trust ing the "United States to deal justly with her in the consideration of any changes she may propose in the Inter national rules that govern the taking of prizes" growing out of submarine warfare. President Unjustly Criticised Mr. Bryan declared that President Wilson had been injustly criticised by partisans of both sides in the Euro pean conflict; expressed confidence that German-Americans would stand by their adopted country in case of war between the United States and Ger many; maintained that killing of inno cent women and children, either by drowning or starving, could not be jus tified. and suggested a change in the shipping laws to exclude passengers from ships carrying contraband or ammunition. Mr. Bryan's statement was as fol lows: "June 11. 1915. "To the German-Americans: "Permit me to address a word to you ns one American citizen speaking to fellow-citizens In whose patriotism he has entire confidence. It is natural that in a contest between your father land and other European nations your sympathies should be with the coun try of your birth. It Is no cause for censure that this is true; it would be a reflection upon you if it were not true. Bo not the sons of Great Britain sym pathize with their mother country? Do not the sons of Franc© sympathize with theirs? Ts not the same true of Russia and of Italy? Why should it not be true of those ytho are, born in Germany or Austria? The trouble is that the extremists on both sides have mistaken a natural attachment felt for birthplace for disloyalty to this country. "The Presiflent has been unjustly criticised by the partisans of both sides—th« very best evidence of his neutrality. If he had so conducted the government as to wholly please either side it would excite not only as tonishment, but misgivings, for parti sans cannot give an unbiased ludg ment; they will of necessity look at the question from their own point of view. Riving: praise or blame, accord ing; as the act, regardless of its real character, helps or hurts the side with which they have aligned themselves. "The fact that the administration has received more criticism from Ger man-Americans than from those in sympathy with the allies is due to the fact that, while both sides are at lib erty. under international law, to pur chase ammunition in the United States, the allies, because of their control of the seas, have the advantage of being THE NEW OLDSMOBILE TOURING I able to export it. It is unfortunate that partisan supporters of Germany should have overlooked the legal re quirements of the situation and have thus misunderstood the position of the administration. "The administration's position has not only been perfectly neutral, but it could not have been otherwise with out a palpable and intentional vio lation of the rules governing neu trality. This government is not at lib erty to materially change the rules of international law during the war be cause every change suggested is dis cussed, not upon its merits as an ab stract proposition, but according to the effect it will have upon the contest. Those who wanted to lay an embargo upon the shipments of arms defended thofr position on the ground that it would hasten peace, but It is strange that they could have overlooked the fact that the only way in which such action on our part could hasten peace would have been by helping one side to overcome the other. "While the attacks made upon the President by the extremists of both sides were very unjust, it was equally unjust to suspect the patriotism N 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 citi zens from that country would be as quick to enlist as native-born citizens. Trusts German-Americans "As T am now speaking- to German- Americans I am glad to repeat in pub lic what I have often said in private, and would have said in public before but for the fact that it would not have been proper for one in my official position to do so—namely, that in case of war between the United States and Germany—lf so improbable a suppo sition can be considered—German- Americans would be as prompt to en list and as faithful to the flag as any other portion of our people. What T have said in regard to the German- Americans is an introduction to an appeal which I feel it my duty to make to them. "First—lf any of them have ever in a moment of passion or excitement suspected the President of lack of neu trality or lack of friendship toward the German people, let that thought be forgotten, never again to be recalled. "I have, since my resignation, re ceived numerous telegrams from Ger man-Americans and German-American societies commending my action; 1 think the senders of these telegrams understand my position, but that no one may mistake It. let me restate it. The President is not only desirous of peace, but he hopes for It, and he has adopted the methods which he thinks most likely to contribute toward peace. Sty difference from him is as to method, not as to purpose, and my utterances since resigning have been intended.to crystallize public sentiment in support of his efforts to maintain peace or, to use a familiar phrase, 'Peace with honor." "But remember that when I use the phrase 'peace with honor' T do not use It in the same sense that those do who regard every opponent of war as favoring 'peace at any price.' 'Peace at nny price' is an epithet, not a true statement of anyone's position or of the policy of any group. The words are employed by jingoes as an expres sion of contempt and are applied indis criminately to all who have faith in the nation's ability to find a peaceful way out of every difficulty so long as both nations 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 Interven tion would be sign of weakness—and everything Is weakness that does not contain a hint of war. The jingo sees In the rainbow of promise only one color —red. "Second—Knowing that the Presi dent desires peace. It Is your duty to help him secure It, and how? By ex erting your influence to convince the German government of this 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, despairing of a friendly settlement, break off diplomatic relations, and thus create a condition out of which war might come without the Intention of either country. Be Fair to President "I do not ask you to minimize the earnestness of the President's state ment—that would he unfair, both to him and Germany. The sinking of the T.usitania cannot, be defended upon the farts as we understand them. The killing of innocent women and chil dren cannot be Justified, whether the killing is by drowning or starving: no nation can successfully plead the in humanity of her enemies as an excuse for inhumanity on her own part. "While It is true that cruelty Is apt to beget cruelty, it cannot be said that 'like cures like.' Even in war we are not absolved from the obligation to remedy evils by the influence of a good example. Let your lights so shine' is a precept that knows no times nor sea sons. as it knows neither latitude nor longitude. "Third—Do not attempt to connect the negotiations which are going on between the United States and Ger many with those between the United HAHKISBURG TELEGRAPH States and Great Britain. The cases are different, but even if they were the same it would be necessary to treat with each nation separately. My per sonal preference has been, to repeat our insistance that the allies shall not interfere with our commerce with neu tral countries, but the difference on this point, was a matter of judgment and not a matter of principle. In the note to Great Britain, dated March 30, this government said: " 'ln view'of these assurances for mally Riven to this government, it is confidently expected that the exten sive powers conferred by the order in council on the executive officers of the crown will be restricted by "orders issued by the government" directing the exercise of their discretionary pow ers in such a manner as to modify in practical application those provisions of the order in council which, if strictly enforced, would violate neutral rights and interrupt legitimate trade. Relying on the faithful performance of these voluntary assurances liy his Majesty's government, the United States takes it for granted that the approach of American merchantmen to neutral ports situated upon the long line of coast affected by the order in council will not be Interfered with when it Is known that they do not carry goods which are contraband of war or goods distined to or proceeding from ports within the belligerent ter ritory affected." W anted to Steer Germany "There is no doubt that our govern- | ment will insist upon this position; | that is an important thing, the exact | date of the note is not material. My j reason for desiring to have the matter I presented to Great Britain at once was ] not that Germany had any right to i ask it, but because I was anxious to make it as easy as possible for Ger many to accept the demands of the ! United States and cease to employ sub- j marines against merchantmen. "There is no reason why any Ger man-Americans should doubt the President's intention in this matter. I am sure that every one will, on re flection, recognize that our duty to prevent loss of life is more urgent than our duty to prevent interference with trade—loss of trade can be compen sated for with money, but no settle ment that the United States and Ger many may reach can call back to life those who went down with •the Lusi tania—and war would be the most expensive of all settlements because it would enormously add to the num ber of the dead. "Fourth—-I hope that Germany will acquiesce In the demands that have been made and I hope that she will acquiesce in them without conditions. She must trust the United States to deal justly with her in the consid eration of any changes that she may propose in the international rules that govern the taking of prizes. The more generously she acts in this matter the greater will be the glory which she will derive from it. She has raised a ques tion which is now receiving serious consideration, namely, whether the in troduction of the submarine necessi tates any change in the rules govern ing the capture of prizes. "The position seemingly taken bj. Germany, namely, that she is entitled to drown noneombatants because they ride with contraband, is an untenable position: the most that she could insist upon is that, in view of the intro duction of this new weapon of war fare. new rules should be adopted— separating passengers from objection able cargo. "If the use of the submarine justifies such a change in the law of blockade as will permit the cordon to be with drawn far enough from the shore to avoid the danger of submarine attack, may it not be found possible to secure an international agreement by which passengers will be excluded from ships carrying contraband, or at least from those carrying ammunition? It would require but a slight change in the ship ping laws to make this separation and belligerent nations might be restrained from unnecessarily increasing the con traband list if they were compelled to carry contraband on transports as they now carry troops. "Personally. I would like to see the use of submarines abandoned entirely, just as I would like to see an abandon ment of the use of aeroplanes and Zeppelins for the carrying of explo sives. hut I am not sanguine enough to believe that any effective instrument of warfare will be abandoned as long as war continues. "The very arguments which the ad vocates of peace advance against the submarine, the aeroplane and the Zep pelin are advanced in favor of them by those who conduct war.

Speak* to All Aliens "The above suggestions are respect fully submitted to those of German birth or descent and they are sub mitted in the same spirit to naturalized citizens from other countries. To the naturalized citizen this is the land of adoption, but in one sense it may be nearer to him than it is to us who are native born, for those who come here are citizens by voluntary choice, while we are here by accident of birth. They may be said to have paid a higher compliment to the United States than we who first saw the light under the Stars and Stripes. But, more than that, it is the land of their children and their children's children, no mat ter for what reason they crossed the ocean. They not only share with us the shaping of our nation's destiny, but their descendants have a part with ours in all the blessings which the present generation can. by wise and patriotic action, bequeath to the gen erations that are to follow."

This was a steel bndKe, but the oil-soaked creosoted blocks were responsible for the fur nace-like fury with which its wooden driveway was consumed.
