A kind f Insanity ami deplorable
Ignorance prevailed among Americans
Jus after the declaration ot war In Eu.
rope, sate F. L. Haller of Omaha, ds
fending; the German cause bcforo an
audience at Windsor ichool last nlRht.
"We displayed awecplng lack of good
judgment In belitvlnc all tha false and
malicious report! published about Ger
many and German militarism' atroci
ties," ba aaid.
'Tha German poo pi a did not wont thia
war. Tha kaiser did not causa it. Ruasla
tarted It by standing back of Servla
wh.n Austria-Hungary desired a put an
end to h vrlatln: Intrigues that had
keen hatched and fostered In Servla,
rtir ruler are rnuidursd frequently.
Kalan4 thsit to Haul.
"England wag (Ivan every opportunity
to stay qut of tha war, and deliberately
choaa to attack Qertnany now," Mr. Mai
ler continued, reading from tha famous
"White papers," where glr Fxlward Gray
was said to bava admitted that Germany
offered to do anything in tha line of
reason that England asked, and that two
ministers and a labor leader In Parlia
ment resigned because they knew this
and knew the facta were not furnished
tha British people, who even now Ilka
tha' war ao little that they are not en
listing readily." Continuing. Mr. Haller
aaid:
"There is a reason for war and an is-
cua. Violation of Belgium's neutrality
wag an excuse for England. England ba
violated neutralities every Unit she has
had a war. 80 has the United States.
Any nation does it, when It becomes a
necessity.
Kaiser Not Responsible.
"A to the power of the kaiser: If
, ha less authority than the president of
tha United State. The Bundsrgth and
tha Reichstag voted the war.
"Remember thia about Germany: There
are no slums in German cities. There U
no corruption in German municipal gov
errtments. They would never submit to
adoption of the American system of gov
erning cities. There are few cases of
disease. American students In medical
universities in Germany must go to
Switserland if they would study small
pox or typhoid cases. There are none
tn Germany.. ,
Uerraana Contented,
'The dormant s.re healthy, prosper
ous, contented people, and they are stand
ihg back of their falser -wth a unanimity
such as has never before been witnessed.
Their existence is at stake. With bar
barous Russia on the one d and Eng
land and Franca on tha pther, Russia
waiting for an opportunity to make war,
tha German government merely protected
itself by its militarism.
"We are afraid of words in this coun
try. , Militarism frightens us, hut if Mex
ico were a powerful, hostile country
waiting for the opportunity to win back
the state, of Texas, which we took from
it, wa would have militarism heps..
Militarism Great Leyeler.
, "German militarism is the great! lvalr
of Germany as of other European coun
tries. The peasant and the millionaire
and the aristocrat west the sixne clothes
and lly In the sera quarters for one,
two or three years. And if the service
were not compulsory It would b willingly
done.
"German boys go. to men teachers. In
this country they are taught by woman
and thay enquire . feminine . tastes, an
hysterical wanner and fall short of a
certain manliness of thought which they
would have were they taught, by men.
This is a condition admitted by the great,
est educators In hf world.
"lt us ba sane and Judge without pas
sion and w will see that our sympathies
should be) with th Teuton race In thl
struggle.'' ...
Th audience gay Mr. Haller a rising
vote of thanks.
