A Word of Warning TO German
Americans.

A Word of Warning TO German
Americans.
The Know Nothings and Eng
lish expansionists are nonplussed.
The German government has
robbed them OF a large field for
their infamous lies by Withdrawing
It's ships from before Manila Ckept
there tor no other purpose but to
protect German merchants), and
put its citizens under the protection
OF the United States. But this
even has not appeased the haired
for Germans, both here and in
Europe, of such papers as Stilson
Hutchins' Times. Hutchins' him
self will be tomorrow an invited
guest at festival at the German
Ambassador house.
After speaking in a disdaIniul
manner Of Germany's new friendly
move, the Times (March ~ says:
Army and Navy officers almost to
man have been long preparing for an
eVentfll Clasl with Germany, which,
tn )ugh It may be postponed several
years by such temporizing as exhibited
Dy the latest German move, is neverthe.
less deemed inevitable"
So, there we have i'll These
fellows want war with Germany,
no matter how friendly the latter
acts. Well, we German-Ameri
cans will have something to say
about that, and this at the next
electionsl We must oust those
warlike haters Of Germany. and of
course oi German-Americans, and
that can only be done by putting
Mckinley and the whole band OF
militarists and expansionists into
the cold, oust them completely
from power, leaving all otherques-
tions in the background until we
have rescued the country and its
liberties from the revolutionary
blockheads and traitors.
Every day we observe from the
lists Of killed and wounded sent in
by our generals that nearly every
third name is German, indicating
that there is large number Of Ger
man-Americaps in our armies and
that as usual they are found
where the killed and wounded
abound. And now we are told that
our army and navy officers expect
a war with Germany as a certainty!
They think perhaps the Germans
are like the tSpanlardsl
The German soldier is always
faithful 10 the flag under which he
fights During the hundreds OF
years of German disSension the
enemies Of Germany used German
troops to ight their brethren. Al
the battle Of Leipzig Napoleon's
army had thousands OF Germans
fighting for him, and only after that
battle the King Of Saxony and
other Southern German kings and
princes were forced to fight against
Napoleon and not against their
own blood. The struggle OF 1866,
we hope, was the last where Ger
mans will fight Germans.
Nobody will dare to doubt the
attachment and iaithiulness OF the
10 millions of German-Americans
to this country. They always have
fought for the Stars and Stripes.
But they would not like to fight
against their German kinsmen, ex-
cept the latter were greatly in the
wrong and at fault. They would
not like to shed their blood and
that OF their kin upon the dictates
Of our foolish and liberty hating
"Blue-light Anglo Saxons" under
the control OF England, for the lat
ter is at the bottom Of all the lies
and vlrtuperation against Ger
many.
Let our German-A Americans do
their duty at the next election.
Let them vote, as, for instance, the
WAsHINGToN SENTINEL will vote,
and then there will be no talk any
longer about war with Germany.
P. S. The other Administration
organ, the Pest, too, continues to
attack Germany. 1t raves
about Samoa, because the Ger
mans, who own iour-6iths OF all the
real estate on the island since 1890, |
will not surrender to the English |
missionaries, and recognize as
king the IS year old boy Malietoa, |
whom they control completely. |
