 ''It was also a happy thought of our emperor to bring home firmly and sincerely the intellectual junction of the two Germanic peoples by means of an exchange of prominent uniVers- ity of professors.
 German intellectual life, German poetry, philosophy and science have found such sincere admiration per- haps nowhere in the world as in the United States. On the other hand the wonders of American technique are studied more joyously and recog- nized more joyously in Germany than anywhere else.
 Outside of Austria there is hard inclinations to be friendly with us as the United States. In the United States live about 100000 Germans.
 Among these there is a growing effort since the foundation of the Ger man-Anerican National Union in 1901, while remaining loyal to their new Fatherland, to keep up, their re- 1ations with their old home and to strengthen them
