Commerce Chamber Protests to Pres. ident Against Minister's Attack. New York Tio Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst was the subject of a communication mail ed to President Wilson by the cham- ber of German-American 'Commerce. The part of the Paghfurst letter which drew forth the complaint read as follows : Whep 'a mad dog runs amuck, the policemen shoot him on the spot--not by way of revenge, but a8 a human- itarian = contribution. 'to the security of the public. Now has a more ra- bid creature, than Emperor William ever run amuck through the peaceful and prosverous domain of - Europe ? The policeman makes no argument with the dog and enters into no com- promise with him, but deals with him in exclusive regabd to the require- ments of society, and. simply blots him out as a public menace; deals with him exactly as Germany dealt with Poland at the time of the par- tition; deals with him as Germany meant to deal with France in the war of 1870, when she intended to im- pose a war indemnitv so heavy, and so to cripple her military means of offense as to crush her as a military power and render Germany invulner- able from the side of France. Now the same kind of medicine that Germany has administered to "Woland and France is exactly the kind that should he administered to her. It may not he necessary to strangle her, but her claws should be clipped and fortifications dismantled to render her teeth filed, and - enough of ber harmless, and as heavy a war indemnity imposed as will not drive her to abpolute penury. This policy should be adopted in no spirit of revenge, but in pursuance oid policy essential to universal security, com- fort and well-being. Anything less than thiv will necessitate the event- ual repetition of the present (rag- edy, in its letter chamber says It seems to us that no Indian sav- animated by a more brutal sparit than this Christian min- ister.

We are not the gressors and only on the defensive, but we cannot be expected to have no self-respect. "It is an outrage to permit = such things to be printed," said Henrich Charles, secretary of the Chamber of German-American Commerce, "and we hope and believe that: the letter to the president will phove to him that such unnatural utterances as those of thiv nunister are not to be tolera ted." tao the president the age was eyer be ag A Famine In Germany.
