welcome Prince Henry;


The Auglomaniacs are circulating the
following disproven statements:
ID That the English admiral in com
maud at Manila warned the German ad-
niral 10 Keep hands off of Dewey"
to- That England prevented a coalition
Of European powers agains, US in our war
with Spain.
go That England is our best friend in
the Eastern Hemisphere.
To the first assertion we reply that 1t is
LIE.
To the second the same emphatic three
lettered word.
TO the third and last the addition or pre-.
fix commencing with a capital D. LIE!
G) There is no official record of the
English admirals alleged action. 1t has
never been asserted authoritatively by any
official of either the British or the American
government, military or naval, but emauated
solely from the monumental British news
paper liars.
a. The cOncensus of world opinion from
the statements Of the French, German and
Austrian foreign Offices is that previous to
hostilities between Spain and the United
States England was in harmony OF opinion
and intention with the other European gov
eruments, and that those governments, Aus
tria excepted, did not design, suggest or de-
clare any intention to coerce the United
States When hostiliues commenced ALL of
the aforesaid governments declared their
81. IA r.,cT
alone furnishing aid and assistance in coal,
supplies, etc, to the Spaniards The French
foreign minister's declaration that Russia
neither before nor after the commencement
Of hostilities took any part in the European
attempt TO influence our action will be ac-
cepted as conclusive evidence, coming as 1t
does from party to the proposed European
coalition, of Russia's friendship. Lord
Cranborne speaking NOW for England dares
not claim that after hostilities commenced
any European government suggested inter
ference with the United States. He does
assert that BEFORE hoshlities commenced
England took THE SAME ACTION as Germany
and France. Where then does this British
lie find even harlot corroboration that Eng
land prevented coalition Of European
powers" (including Russia) against the
United States?
60 That England is the best friend Of the
United States in the Eastern Hemisphere
is disproved by history. In every crisis Of
our history as a Nation she has been our
deadly foe The Revolution, in the war of
1912 and in the Civil WAR; She has never
been called upon to prove her pretensions
Of friendship. Hence such pretensions are
untried protestations, while her acts as
stated, in the crisis OF our existence has been
deadly and aimed at our destruction
Prince Henry Of Prussia is a German,
aud Germany has contributed through her
sons and daughters more than any other
nation in the world to raise the present
fabric Of our greatness. It is true that
Ireland has been in the van from the revo-
luton to San Juan Hill, from the nurse of
thirteen colonies to a mighty empire and
to Ireland all credit But Ireland is not on
the map where she belongs. Germany Is.
And it is a German prince we are called
upon to honor as a mark Of respect, esteem
and affection for his country, which pro-
duced such brave industrious and loyal
citizens for this Republic! Therefore we
initiate our lungs and shout with our whole
heart aud soul-welcome, Prince Henry
welcome, honored representative of a brave
and gallant people to the Republic which
your countrymen has fought to maintain,
and to who's greatness the German race has
contributed MORE than ENGLAND AND ALL
