AS TO FREDERICK THE GREAT.
Another German Historian Has the
Floor.

Myrick, Ore, Dec. 12.-(Editor
East oregonian, Pendleton, Ore.)-
Dear Sir: In your issue of December
8, appeared an article about Good
German" who had written complain
ingly about the E. O.'s treatment of
Frederick the Great.
You say it is necessary to quote re-
liable history. Now, 1 wish to say
that if you consider Bancroft's His
tory of the United States "reliable
history" you will see that Frederick
the Great, King of Prussia, sympa-
thized with the American people in
their struggle, for independence being
one of the first to recognize the gov
ernment of the United States (see life
of Benjamin Franklin).
He also denounced in strong terms
the action of the Duke of Hesse, and
forbade the movement of Hessian
troops through Prussian territory
He was also an admirer of General
Washington. Among the relics of Mt.
Vernon is sword presented to him
by Frederick the Great, bearing the
inscription: From the oldest general
in the world, to the greatest"
This, Mr.. Editor, is according to
Bancroft, reliable history" and by
going back to German history you
will see that Frederick the Great had
no uncle living in England at that
this, whom he had to furnish soldiers
Germany was at that time divided
into "a different states. and the Hes
slams had their ruler, and so had the
Prussians; so had the Saxons, the Ba-
varians. etc.
You said in your article you enter
tanned such great love for the Ger
man people. The writer, an American
citizen of German birth, would like
to see you quote correct history.
