The first duty eis every citizen is

Vcry truly yours,
Xütlian Locscr.
We publiah the kil:r, mainly be
cause of itä last sentence, claiming
"the first duty of every c.iüz' is
, support of hs JExecutive Of
fice." ' If that were äo, than every
National Presidontial Campaign is a
national crime against the Executive
of the U. S., who 15 critieized, at
tackcdi and opposed, cither for his
own reclection, or for the elcction of
the succts&or he indorses. That
disposes oi the sweepinj? con
' tention, that it is the duty of every
citizen to support the Executive of
sicers of the U. S. under all circum
stances. But some met con'cnd, that it is
the duty to support the Executive
in everything pertainirg to forcign
politics. They say so, when the
Executive does wh;;t they wish him
to do. Mr. Roosevch who, having
been the Executive ollicer of the U.
S. for seven ycais, and therefore
should know what the duty towards
that office is h.'js, as the private cit
izen he now is, critieized the Mex
ican politics of Mr. Wüson in the
most bitter manner. He is, however,
with him for England.
One may contend Col. Roosevelt
ghould not be followcd. Rather Mr.
Taft, who had statcd repeatedly, and
only a very sliort while ago, that "it
is the duty of every citizen to up-,
liii'l th !'rrtilftt In f..f-in

ereign peoplc do not know it. It
has been kept from thein. But they
are cooly told; "It is your duty to
support the President in all f ereign
matters. He knows things you do
not know." They are therehy led
to believ the President has in
formation about daily happenings in
the international Situation, on which
he decides each casc as it comes up.
We are led to bclicve he is un
hampered and nnsliackled, free to do
as ht sees fit, ai'ter weighing tho
circumstaiiccs. We are led in a
false direction. II c is not. That
McKinley-Chambcrlain agreemrnt
governs what he does, It demands
and promises that in casc of war tlie
U. S. follow the British attitude
towards rights of bclligcrents and
neutrals. and niake it their own.
This agreement is against the U.
S. Constttution. It is against the
American spirit of independence, it
makes our shipping and our trad
dependent from England's every
whim and will, and makes us subject
to England in war-tirne.
And when we knoW that, who will
say, "it is the duty of every citizen
to support the Executive in this
casc?"
It is his duty so oppos as nuich
as possible, by all legal rneans a
cottrse he considers, dangerous,
against Americas best intcrests, and
fraught with the dangers of an ttn
necessary war.
The American citizens duty is to
uphold the Executive when right,
tut to use hi influence to set the
Government right, if ht considers
its ways wronK And to do that be
töre it is too lale.

AUÜHITIO CARRIERS.
The American government, we
trust, seea tno need of acceptlng the
fact that eea law must be progres
nlvely modlfled to . couform to the
cot"ie of mechanlcal developintint,
It would requlre a wlse Btatesman
to ay where our intorests l!o, but
one of ordlnarily perceptlve Intel,
llgence caa see that condltions have
changed and that law miist 'be modl
fled to meet the change.
We thlnk it U the deslre of Amerl
cana to deal with all peoplcs as
fairly as prejudice will permlt. The
force of prejudice has to be conceded,
anr it will warp the thought; but
so far as it can be recogni.ed as
a faotor It la thu far mlnlmlzed.
What we must graut the Gerruan
lf we are to malntaln a Position
morally defenslble lg the rlght to
Btop the shipment of ammunitioa by
s.ny means at their dliposal It
would be hldeous lnjustlce if we
were to assert on one hand the right
of American manufacturerg to Bell
any contraband that a jmrehaser
could come for and then deny the
Germans their rlght of stopplng
eueb Bhlpment.
If anjffblng Beems plaln and clear
In thU war it is the fact that the
3 ?clnlon will rest with the foroea
aole to eupply thenisnlveg with the
most ammunltlon. Whh.'hever force
can get the most Shells will wln,
It is not a questlon of men. It is
a Qtiestlon of explosives. ,
By our rlghtful iuslstence that
American manisfactuierB may eil
whatever a purchasur wlslm to buy
wevhaTe put ouniolves In the Po
sition pt becoming a dnclding fartor
in the war. We must not, dls'ectly
or iijdlfect.ly, andainipt, guarantee
th 5Uverof tbe ammunlUoat
' That would be a Bin against inter
national fair deallog. Boats carryins
explosives must not have the pro
tectlon of passengers for whose
securlty this government holds Its elf
responslble, We must admlt that a
submarine cannot conform to sea
law formulated before submarines
were used. A change das been made
by mechanlcg,
The United States must meet Ger
many fairly on this questlon. Wo
have no rlght to say that Germany
shall deprlve herseif of the use of
hör only eflectlve sea weapon In
preventlng the delivery of ammunl
tlon which may be the decldlng
factor In the war.
Wcmust recognlze that the move
tnent of mllitary supplles of this
character is a mllitary movement.
In easlly demonstrable fact It is a
more dangerous mllitary movement
than that of ending a reglmeut of
troons. IIo one would deny the rlght
of a submarine to sink a transport,
and if we are to malntaln 'the
morallty of our Position we muss,
not lnslst upon the acceptanee of
principlos of International law which
governed betöre the mechanlcal
change made by tfce submarine.

cluslons iargely on Usher's 'Pan-Gar-

1913. Professor I'sher funnerly was
Professor of history nt Harvard and
there loaraed the Beeret of the al
liance fr in President Eliot, aecording
t'j enraaer.
Washington and the Allles.
In the Sc York "Times" of May
Professor Usher prints a communica
tton which that paper beaJed "Mr.
Usher ßrauds a Tale," in which the
Professor, either gauging his ut-
torances by the influence of sectlonal
riews on the causes of the war, or
r.cting on a hlnt from Washington,
seeks to minlmlze the slgnlncance
of the Statements in bis book. "Pan-
Germanlsm," quoted iu "The Father
land", and declares "I do not know
of a presont existing understanding
between the Allles and the United
States hostlle to Germany." But
quite evldently the letter to the
"Times", which la dated May 3, was
written afier the miaehlef had been
created. The sum and substance of
the letter to the "Times" Is a denlal
that his Information was derived
from Professor Eliot. As this was
advanced in the nature of a theory
rather than an assertion, it leaves the
maln ract that there has been an
understanding between Washington
and the Allles with regard to Ger
many intact as vouched for by the
St. Louis "Star". STbis understanding,
aecording to Professor Usher as set
forth in his "Pau-Germanlsm," em
braces the followlng four clauses:
1. That in 1891 there was a secret
understanding between this country.
bogland, irance and Russla, that in
case of a war brought on by Ger
many, the United Utes would do
Its best to asslst its three allles.
2. That certain event lead to the
probablllty that the Spanish-Amerlcan
War was created in. erder to permit
the United States to take possesslon
of Spalns colonlal poasesslons.
3. That England possesses threo
immensely powerful allles France,
KiiBsia ana tue United States, which
he speaks of as the "coalition."
4. That the United States was not
permltted by England and France to
build the Panama Canal tinttl they
were persuaded of tho dangers of
Pan-Germanism.
"Our Common Enemy."
Mr. Ushor's Statements and the
tatements , of Colouial Secretary
Chamberlaln speak for themselves.
These Statements are conslrmed by
various Incldents. The American
people have not forgotten the speech
of Commander Simms, U. 8, N., at
a Lord Mayor's banquet in London
during a vlsit of an Atuerican naval
quiuiron to England undor President
Taft, in which he deelared that the
American havy would be so und ßght

Bold Eoast of Unneutral ity.
"We are boldly told, on every hand,
that the adr;iinistratlon Is for Eng
land and her Allies. The events
slnce the war begatt have proved the
accuraey of the Statement. Those
who atlect to discredit Professor
Usher's assertions dumand that the
United States shall disregard the
policy laid down by the founders
of this government and do what is
already an accotnplislied fact. Tbus
George Louis Beer, in the May iesue
of the "Forum", writes:
, "The only practlcal method is to
embody the existing cordial feelings
between England and the United
States In a more or less formal
alllance, so that the two countries
can bring their jolnt influence and
pressure to bear wherever their
commoa Interests and polltical prin
ciples may be jeopardlzed."
"The President of the United
States may be neutral, but the people
of the United States are with us in
this flght. They are our allles!"
This was said (aecording to the
New York "World" of April 28 last)
by Sir Herbert Beerbolun Tre on
the stage of Drury Laue Theatre in
the presence of the Queen of England
and the American Ambassador, aa
well as a huge audlence which in
cluded many members of tho royal
faniiiy and nobillty of the bigheat
rank.
"His words were followed," the
'World" London conespondent as
sures us, "by a tremendous outburst
of applause, during which many
people turncd and looked pointedly
at Ambassador Page."
Mr. Page sat imiiassively In his
box, we are told; but It needs no
proof of Mr. Page's sentlments. We
know where his heatt Is; but we do
not know all.
If this is a republic and not an
oligarchy, tho people demaud that
Uns country shall remaln untram
melcd by polltical alliances with
forelgn powers. When we built the
Panama Canal, under th favor and
enly by permlsslon of England and
France, Roosevelt betrayed the
American people. From the day that
agreement was entered lato the
people of tho United , States ur
reudered their sovereignty and their
doom was conslrmed by Wllson when
ne declaied that It was a duty for
the United States to furnish artna
to the A.lies. "Were this latter true,
then the neutral would no longer be
a freo 'state, no longer sovereign."
Prof. John W. Burgc3s,
It Is slgnlficant that the United

Deutschland, das es nie hat fehlen

Wir bitten Sie, den großen Kum
