On the contrary, they believe that Germany will be freer,
happier, and greater than ever when once she has got rid of the
monstrous Bismarck policies and the Emperor's archaic conception of his
function, and has enjoyed twenty years of real peace. Your obedient
servant,
CHARLES W. ELIOT.
Asticou, Me., Sept. 28, 1914.
Dr. Dernburg's Reply to the Third Letter
Late German Secretary of State for the Colonies; lived for
several years in the United States as member of the banking
firm of Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co., New York.
_To the Editor of The New York Times:_
Prof. Eliot is conferring a great favor on the exponents of the German
side in the present struggle in explaining to them what he thinks of the
so-called anti-German feeling in the United States. I am sure his views
will be read also in Germany with a great deal of attention, although he
will certainly not remain unchallenged in nearly all essential points.
The compliment that Prof. Eliot pays to the German people as a whole
must be specially appreciated, the more so as it comes from a scientist
whose great authority is equally recognized on both sides of the
Atlantic.
