What la Killing Neutrality
Slate Journal.
When the war started this paper
was so neutral that It was almost j
pro-German; but after reading Gen
eral von Bernhardi's book, in which
he set forth Germany's plan of armed
conquest, and considering the un
disputed facts in connection with the
conduct of the war, this paper ceased
to be neutral and frankly so stated.
It has since strongly favored the
cause of the Allies. What killed the
neutrality of this paper has killed
the neutrality of other papers and
individuals. The following two let
ters, published in the last issue of the
Outlook, explain why that publica
tion is not neutral:

Lawrence F. Abbott,
The Outlook. New York:
Dear Mr. Abbott Perhaps I
ought to explain to you why I must
request the discontinuance of my
subscription to The Outlook. I have
hesitated in doinR so. After sub
scribing for a paper for seventeen or
eighteen years it is no easy matter
to give it up. Still, the attituda you
have found it expedient to assume
concerning Germany has utterly shat
tered my faith in the reliability and
equity of your editorial judKinent. I
happen to know a little about the
Fatherland, although I have resided
in this country for well-night half a
century. And I know your war edi
torials have sometimes been hilari
ously incorrect and always Intention
ally onesided, if not actually viru
lent and Incentive to espouse the
cause of England on the part of the
United States. You might have been
pro-British without being anti-Ger
man. I blame you not for your Eng
lish sympathies. I deplore your Ger
man hatred. So please discontinue
my subscription to your paper until
you see nt to recover your poise of
Judgment concerning so noble and
sacrificing and efficient a people as
the much-maligned Germans.
Sincerely,

too morally corrupt to fight. These
facts seem to us clearly to dispose or
the defense argument.
Moreover, w hen Austria s ultima
tum to Servla was issued England did
everything ln her power to submit
the controversy to international arbi
tration; the documents show that
the other nations consented to this
plan and that Germany alone refused.
Our unalterable conviction is that the
war was a war of attack and not of
defense on the part of Germany.
This view Is strengthened and con
firmed by the course of Germany dur
ing the war. The Invasion of Bel
glum, the acquiescent if not active
participation in the Armenian hor
rors, the killing of non-combatants
on the Lusltanla and Ancono, and the
destruction of American property to
t roubles.
