A young people. a people OF com

many different nations. but we are
Identical with none Of them. and are

that 10 each OF the great powers OF

less distant kinship by blood; and to
each strain Of blood WI " some
peculiar quality In our national life
or national character. AS such Is
the case It IL natural that we should
have a peculiar feeling OF nearness to

to keep unbroken our friendship for

English settled In Virginia and New

At the mouth Of the Delaware. Even
In colonial days the German element
had become very strong among our
people In various parts Of this coun-
