 A FINAL SHOT
in Declaring That the Con-
 test is fRded
He Predicts That Harri- man Will at Last be Shown Up.

New York, Feb. .-StUyvesant Fish announced today that the contest in the Chicago courts to prevent the vot- ing of the Illinois Central stock held by the Union Pacific was closed. MT. Fish made a statement to the effect that he had gone into the litigation at the solicitation of many stockholders and with great reluctance.
 He said: My effort has been to pro- tect the Illinois Central and my own large holdings of stock from explOita- ton by men whose acts in other cor poratiOns have been denounced by of ficers of the federal government and who are involved in suits in New York. Utah and elsewhere. When Hartman and his associates shall at length be forced to answer the questions they have been evading my contention that the road should not be entrusted to them will be justified
 Submitting to, but not acquiescing in the decision of Judge Ball. the con- test is now closed.

It Loses None of Its Quality by Transplant
 tatiOn to the New FatherIand
The German Ambassadors Address Yesterday a Gathering of His COuntrymen at a Tampa Fla. Cor nerstone Laying.

Tampa. Fla. Feb. 23.-The German ambassador. Baron Speck von Sterp- burg. in an address at the laying of the cornerstone for the new German clubhouse today. said:
 The historical friendship first be- tween Prussia and the United States and after that. when Prussia had founded the German empire. between the latter and the United States. has never been severed. It had its be- ginning in the mutual high esteem and good will which had existed between President Washington and Frederick the Great and which were strength ened by the fact that Prussia alone of all European nations showed her self willing to enter into commercial relations with America during the pe- riCd of her distress and weakness-in those hard years between 17S3 and 11S3-and to conclude a commercial treaty with this country. Already dur ing the colonial period there was a strong German element in the pop ulation and men of German birth and decent during the period of the revo- luticn rendered great and successful
 
 in peace. Steuben schooled the rev olutionary army and Muehlenberg was the first speaker of the house of rep resentatives. Since. the revolution there has been nearly uninterrupted emigration from Germany to this country which has proved or the greatest importance in the populating of vast districts of the United States. Men ot German birth and descent were nearly all devoted to the union. body and soul Thanks to their pow erful support the northwest territories were made free states. which consti- tuted the heart of the republic. At the outbreak of the civil war it was men of German birth CT descent who say ed Maryland, Missouri and even Ken lucky for the cause of the union, and during this terrible period they ren- dered their adopted country by word and deeds services which never can be forgotten.
 But what was il that produced this mutual esteem between George Wash inG;on and Frederick the Great-two men who had never met and who were separated by the wide ocean? The answer is simple: Americas victo- rious liberator and the great Hohen- zollern looked at all conditions from the same point of view-that is from the point of view of duty A sense of duty was the foundation on which Washington began the development of his country. A sense of duty was also the foundation on which Frederick the Great out of chaos founded power full kingdom and that. with the help of an army permeated with his per sonal sense of duty. In the sense of duty lies the strongest tie which binds our two mighty nations
 The sense of duty in America from the days of the first settlers eXerted a formative influence on the common wealth It is well known that the life of the settlers was that of an army in the field. never secure against attack.
Arizona republican., 1908-02-24

So the sense of duty has always found response in the development of
 Prussia and the German empire. Ger
 many owes it to her compulsory mill
 itary service in the first place that
 during period of thirty-seven years of peace the country could develop so tremendously. This is the dearest proof that the real intrinsic virtue of i national military conscriptiCn lies in its educational and formative import
 ance. It is in Germany a school bas- ed on scientific principles for corporal education and a real school for mental development It teaches good manners and politeness. kindles and inflames real patriotism and is tremendous
 stimulus for national development. The German army sprang into eXis- tence under the house of HohenzOllern in order to keep the enemy in check. but not to attack. Under this house of Germany it has be- n the most pow erful means of peace and has further ed Germany's industrial evolution ir- resistibly. The same thing has been done for the United States by every l German soldier who has sought his AlV4lAF AlAf-fllA- .'iAlN AtNFllllN llfelA VI fi leading statesman in Washington
 make the following remark: When
 a man receives an honorable discharge from the German army, he is sure to 1 be a pretty good man. If these men emigrate to America where several hundreds of thousands of them have made their second homes. l claim they make the very best foreign born citi- zens of this country. They do not for get the ties of love which bind them to the fatherland and the high regard 1 in which they hold the government of the mother country. In days Of-danger they have always been found among
 the very first who would defend with [ their lives. if necessary. the honor and i integrity of their adopted country. When these men organize societies and clubs, they do so for tho purpose or fostering old comradpship and
 above all for the purpose of inculcat- ! ing the proper principles of good citi- zenship
 what great part the German ele- ment of the United States has played
 in the development of this country was
 a few weeks ago stated by my friend.
 Herman Ridder, in a splendid and sig
 nificant address before the German
 Friendly Society in Charleston. True
 Germanism fully covers true Ameri- canism. Nowhere has this been made more manifest than in several of Pres ident RooseveIts inspiring speeches to
 the American people, in which he took
 occasion to mention German virtues. Whoever takes to heart the words of
 the president uttered on these occa- sions will render his country the high est service. Neither Americanism nor
 Germanism is fundamentally depend- ent on place of birth. descent nor re- : ligion, but it is the spirit alone that animates man. Above all, everyone. be
 he American or German. should always
 remember that the achievements of
 our civilization are not dependent in
 the first place on men of highest taI-
