GERMAN AMERICANS
BITTERLY ASSAILED

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-The ''Neuste Mach

forget the fatherland. German parents
neglect educating their children as Ger
mans. The Standardization of German
Americans causes them TO be despised
by Germans In Germany. and causes the
latter to blush with shame at the way
Germans in the United States betray
their fatherland."
