German descent. The proportion OF
the population Of other cities was cited
also to show the number OF the Ger
man race in this country. Rev. Mr..
Peschau gave some interesting facts to
show the extreme loyalty and bravery
OF the German element in the pioneer
advancement il this country, in the
wa of independence with Great Brit
ain, in the war of the rebellion. The
record of German names in the early
Indian wars shows that no portion OF
the white population that came to
this country suffered more at the hands
of the blood-thirsty Indians than the
German pioneer and his wife. The
names of some of the noted Indian
lighters show them to have been of
German blood. Among them was
Lewis Wetzel, the great pioneer, who
was to this section what Daniel Boone
was to Kentucky and Tennessee In
the Mohawk rally in New York, after
the bloody Indian wars, there were six
hundred widows and orphans OF the
German kind.
In the revolutionary war they
and independence, and both privates
and officers were conspicuous for their
bravery and devotion to the cause.
True to their characteristics, the Ger
mans in the South Joined their for
tunes with those whom they lived,
and enlisted in the Southern cause
to fight valorously and to win renown
for themselves. While they went into
the Southern army by the hundreds,
those in the North rallied around the
Stars aud Stripes by the thousands
and hundreds Of thousands. The lee
turer interspersed his address with
many anecdotes, some amusing and all
instructive. He concluded with reci-
tation of the remarkable results. which
they had accomplished in the civic as
well as the military glory of the coun-
try.

Rev. Ferdinand w. Peschau, of
Greensburg, Pa, formerly of this city,
delivered lecture to good audience
at the English Lutheran Church on the
subject of Germans and Their Achieve
ments in America" 1t was a eulogy
Of the progress and history of the Ger
man people, and contained many inter-
esling facts.
He said that in his study for his lee
ture he was surprised that the Ger
mans had done so much in this coun-
try, and was impressed with the fact
that they should make history Of
their achievements. 1t was their own
fault that they are not properly appre-
ciated, as they were modest and printed
and spoke everything in their own
language. The speaker proceeded to
detail something of the history of the
German people to show what they had
accomplished. The history of the Ger
man people for the last two thousand
years was unbroken. Invention after
invention had been produced by them,
ard at the present time war with all
the English speaking nations of the
world is carried on by the Germans for
the mastery in art, literary, music and
science. The lecturer spoke of what
they had done for America. They were
among the first to set foot on Ameri-
can soil, and as early as 1858 German
town, Pa, was settled. The landing of
the ship Concord, at Philadelphia,
marked the beginning Of German i'm
migration to this country. In seventy
six years 4,914,425 German people emil
grated from Germany to America.
There are many people in this country
of German nationality, or descent, vino
are not looked upon as Germans be-
cause they have changed their names
to the English translation.
After Germantown, many more col
onies were settled in the New World
by the German race. There are to-day
in this country twenty millions of peo-
pie of German nationality and Ge-
scent. The canvass shows that 5000
of the population Of Wheeling are
German born, or % per cent. 1t can

All correspondence will be held strictly
