ADDRESS OF TIE GERMAN PATRIOTIC AID
SOCIETY TO TIE GERMAN SOCIETIES OF THs
UNITED STATES.
The Executive Committee of the German
Patriotic Aid Society OF SewYork OF opinion that
in order materially advance and render assistance e
the cause of Germany, wi be advisable nay impers
lively necessary adopt weldefned plan for the
united action Of the entire German element IN the United
states. order such combined activity, it be-
comes desirable that the different German Patriotic Aid
Societies OF each State should Immediately proceed TO
the formation OF State organizations, with an Executive
Committee at the head Of each IL would then becoaa
comparatively easy 20 bring all the German Patriots
Aid Societies into glar intercourse by Of the
State Executive Committees.
1t appears almost superhuous point 10 the far reach
ing influence Of such combination OF four million Ger.
mans in America MOL only would the consciousness ~
marching close columns toward the realization OF the
same object be instrumental in urging each individual 10
energetic and perseverng exertOns but the moral
influence exercised in Germany and in France lin oppO
site direcOns by such vast league with It, ramifca
tons in nearly every city village, hamlet throughout
the broad cxpanse OF the Union, would be infinitely
greater than If each patriotic aid society," even those
OF each state, were acting separately and without con-
ncctiOn with the rest. Morenver the concerted acton
OF all societies could not fa 10 make deep and
lasting impression upon our native American citizens.
We already have their CORDIAL appr0Na 10 au'h
degree that comparatively small Impulse may so ~
il ~ 10 elicit from them not only WOIdS pat ass
moral weight in favor Of Germany into the uncertain
balance war. Actuated by these considerations, the
Executive Committee OF the German Patriotic Ali so
cety of New-IOrk propose meeting OF delegates IN
Chicago, the 18th OF August next for the purpose or
agreeing upon some plan Tor combined action III the
manner above Indicated In the time, the orgsni-
in the different States Will, no doubt, have al
yanced sufficiently admit OF the submission by the
delegates the vote Of their respective organizations OF
the plan adopted in their deliberations in Chicago.
AS IL is mperatiyely necessary to act without delay ina
Executive Committee OF the German Patriotic AID go
ciey of NewYork have resolved not to wait until the
| state organizations may be completed, but TO invite
every Society organized 10 the present time to send
delegate As binding resolutions VIII be out OF The
question, and the delegates will cOnfne themselves To
an agreement upon plan OF action, the Executive
Committee OF the German Patriotic Aid society OF New
York confidently trusts that the initiative herewith taken
will not give any ilfeeing or their motive 10
misconstrued. Exceptional cases call for exceptional

All Aid Societies requested to take this proposition
into consideration the earliest possible day and, In
