 Fred Remmert sailed from New York yesterday on the Teutonic for Germany. It is his first visit since hs came from Germany 47 years ago. Forty-two years have been passed in Stafford. MT. Rem- inert is man of considerable intelligence, and has been a recognized leader among the Germans who have from time to time settled in Stafford. His ideas have been radical on some points, but he has had genuine respect for law and admiration for the American form of government, and little toleration for those who warred against either. We wish him pleasant journey and a safe return. He has no definite plan as to length of stay in the and perhaps much longer time.
