C. K01MBE ON ISSUE OF WAR

Declares America Should Not Stop Until Imperial German Government Means Imperial German People.

The Editor, Tribune—My emotions tell me one thing at this awful time, but my reason tells me other things. As a German by birth it is a horrible calamity that I may have to fight Germans. That is natural, is it not so? But as an American by preference I can see no other course open. "We are urged by sincere pacifists like ,Mr. Pinchot to adopt "a vigorous policy of defense and protection, but no war." But attack is sometimes the best protection.

For twenty-five years Germany has shown dislike for the United States—• the Samoan affair, the Hongkong contretemps, the Manila bay incident, the unguarded words -of the kaiser himself, and, lastly, the Haitian controversy in 1914. '"Whether it is right or not, pleasant or not, the fact remains that the interests of the two oountries have frequently conflicted. And it has not been from mere commercial or diplomatic friction. It is because their ideals of government are absolutely opposite. One or the other must go down. It is for us to say now which it shall be.

Because of my birth and feelings beyond my control I have no particular love for the Frenoh and less for the British. But by. a strange irony of fate I see those nations giving their blood for principles whioh I hold dear, against the wrong principles of people I individually love.

It is a very unhappy paradox, but one I cannot escape. I do not want to see the allies triumph over the land of my birth. But I do very much want to see the triumph of the ideas they fight for. l£ sickens my soul to thlnk of this nation going forth to help destroy people'many of whom are bound to me by ties of blood and friendship. But it must be so. It is like a dreadful surgical operation. The militaristic, undemocratic demon which ruleg Germany must be cast out. It is for u^ -to do it—NOW.

I try to tell myself that it is not OUT affair, that we should content ourselves with measures of defense and armed neutrality. But I know that it is riot so. rhe mailed first has been shaken under our nose before. II Prussianism triumphs»in this war the first will continue to shake. We shall be in real peril and those ideas for which so much of the world's best blood has been spilled through the centuiies will be in danger of extinction. It seems to me common sense that we begin our defense by immediate attack, when the demon is occupied and when we can .command, assistance.

There is much talk of what people like me will do, and fear of the hypheft. Mr. Wilsoi) by his hesitancy and vacillation shows that he doubts the solidarity of the nation.

But I

Vrtg-xfpr leadership. If the president would "realize the value of positive action he could bring all the people into unity at once. A ringing declaration of war, with a calm statement that we enter the struggle to save and strengthen the institutions upon which our state is built, would at once bring all the conflicting emotions of our people into patriotic unity. Then all foolish notions of copperheads and traitors would seem merely a bad dream.

Let us make war upon Germany not from revenge, nor to uphold hair splitting quibbles of international la.w. But let us make war with our wholeheart* and with all our strength because Germany worships one God and we another and because the lion and the lsr.nb cannot lie down together. Or e or the other must perish.

Let lis make war upon the Germany the Junkedthum. the Germany of frightfulne&s, the Germany of arro ganoe and selfishness! And let us swear not to make peace until the imperial' Geimar. government is the imperial German' people. C. KOTZENABE.

SCANDAL IN AUSTRIAN ARMY.

Results In Resignation of Ministers of War and Finance. •LONDON, April 5.—The Austrian ministers of# justice, war and finance have resigned after the revelations of a grave scandal connected with the army supplies, according to a dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from. The Hague, which quotes German newspapers as its authority. According to the dispatch the three ministers assisted Dr. Franz, formerly director of Vienna bank, to escape the consequences of having illegally sold food stuffs to the army at exorbitant prices.

At the trial of Dr. Franz documents wfere presented which convinced the judge that the ministers had forged a paper which was used in the banker's behalf. They .were summoned as witnesses and admitted their guilt, later resigning. The affair is said to haves caused a tremendous sensation in Vienna political circles.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN READY TO GO AGAIN

David Strouse Tells Rose Orphan Boys and Girls the Meaning of Old Glory.

With the same patriotic spirit that moved him fifty-five years ago to rush to the service of his country, David Strouse, of Rockville, today etands ready to answer the call of Uncle Saim if needed. "I could do clerical work," he told the children of the Rose home in a most interesting historical and patriotic talk.

Mr. Strouse reviewed the wars in which the'United States has been in-

volved, giving the causes and results of each. "The war of 1812 and the one in which we seem about to enter now have similar causes—freedom of the sea," he said.

Was Boy War Nurse.

Especially interesting to the pupils was the veteran's'story of his own experience in the civil war. He was but fifteen years.of age when he insisted so strongly to be permitted to enlist that his father was compelled practically to give his consent. For a year the lad served, in a hospital at Baltimore and nursed soldiers from the field of Fredericksburg. "I remember one young mar. who was badly wounded," he said. "He awoke from a sleep and the tears began to .course down his cheeks. I asked him what was the matter and he told me that he had dreamed he was back home playing ball. But the lad died without ever playing another game of ball."

When David was sixteen he enlisted in the army and \ycnt forth bravely to fight the enemy. For two years he served his country in. this wise and he was then stricken with typhoid fever. After a seige of the ugly illness he regained consciousness one day and the first person he beheld was a "sister of mercy." Mr. Strouse said that since that memorable day he had always cherished jL most kindly feeling toward a, sister .of mercy.,

Sings "John Brown."

While relating his experience as a real soldier, Mr.. Strouse sang a snatci. of "John Brown's Body" to the children and they cheered him loudly. But it was when he told them that he had requested his brother, Isaac Strouse, to write to the president informing him that he would again answer the call of his flag that the little folks went wild with applause. There was scarcely a dry eye in his audience when he had finished. "It is not only in times of war that you can serve your country," the speaker reminded the children. "It is in times of peace and in such times it is always well to remember your duties to the land that shelters you."
