[To TH. Bean or UM .. SPrer11 . 01.1 SIB,—I have read in
this morning's paper a synopsis of your editorial of yesterday on the danger of drifting into war with the United States. The feeling, wide spread, of sympathy for Belgium and for the Allies, as also the President's hearty aversion to all war, makes even the thought of war with England inconceivable. I cannot believe there is ground for any apprehension on that score. It is true, of course, that President Wilson lost perhaps the greatest opportunity ever presented to a ruler to touch deeply the heart of universal humanity when he failed to denounce Germany's invasion of Belgium in vehement terms. But this mistake grew out of his desire to maintain an even neutrality in the hope of a greater service to mankind when terms of peace are to be settled—Hoping that German arrogance, brutality, and big- bully militarism will be crushed, I am, Sir, Are.,
