Admits America Took Only Course Open and Assails an Traditions. Pruss AMSTERDAM, July fan Harden, in an artic’ fefers to the significan Wilson's speech at Mount Vernon and the common celebration in Great Brit fin and in America of Indepe Day. Frankly admitting the truth of the sentention territory, that her intervention means 16.—(Maximil in Zutkunft, ndence that America desires no go material gain for her and even is pound to be extremely costly for her, Werr Harden secks to impress upon Me readers the truth that America mtered the war from idealistic ves. To these motives, Bermans are blind, post Germans decry them. Harden recognizes the of flanger to America from a victorious Germany and says, America’s decision to fat aid President's was mo he says, many and accordingly reality was bound where it whether the Hughes, Taft, Roosevelt or Wilson. Harden attacks Admiral von Tir- pita, ox-Minister of Marine, and Dr yon Kuchimann, the recently retired name ®oreign Secretary, as carriers of the anciont Prussian tradition of King Frederick, whom the writes quotes as saying: “Who gave one man the right fo ny the foundation of fresh pow- sf on human misery and destruction? Conquered iands do not make the Jominions of a conqueror richet nor his peoples happier, and a ruler who imagines he can increase his own happiness thereby is in grave error.’ Yet in the same year, 1740, Har- len continues, King Frederick pre- pared and executed the invasion of Mlesia. This sort of morality, Har- fen concludes, stil! inepires the rul- trs of Germany of to-day. “No high personage in the German fire,” Harden siys, “wishes to seo sot tp a League of Nations, adhesion to which has deen declared by the states ef ®orth and South America and representatives of England, France, italy, Canada, Australia and India, The continuance of endeavors to con. | peal this fact has become unneces- mary since Brest-Lkovek and Bu- sharest. “We know what the enamy wants find we know that we have a Gov- frnment which, calling ttself pan- Berman or whatever else it likes, only peace through the might of army and feels certain af ob- taining {t in a short time “We may be certain that no words E theirs will ever gain belicf any- » of President | and Special Correspondents. i GERMANS PREPARE NEW PEAGE DRIVE: ~ BELGIUM AS BAT | Teuton Press Begins Campaign to End War and Neu- trals Join In.
