ominous conflict. they manifest their continued
good will 10 the fatherland and ask their fellow
Americans not to base an adverse Judgment
upon incomplete information and first impress
sions. There Is. In fact. no good reason why
American sympathy should take sides except on
the strict merits OF the controversy which has
preeipitated the dread resort to arms, Il is IN
fortunate, as We have already noted in these
columns, that we have not been able. through

BE Not biased.
OMAHA, Aug. 1O.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: II Is unfortunate that in these days
when the nerves are at high tension
provoked by the headlines IN our dailies,
disparaging expressions are being hurled
at the local German-American citizens by
men who should heed the worlds, Judge
not that ye be not judged In fact there
is no one In a position at the present
time to pass upon the merits or dement's
OF the prevailing conflicts and confusion
which has been caused by the declara-
tons OF war. This should not be done
until we are in possession Of more intel
iigent inside information which as yet
has not been brough TO our observation
from the various countries involved in
this terrible European warfare IL is
natural that we should have a heart for
our countrymen and that our sympathies
should go out to the land where our
fathers and mothers we're born and where
they were lnstilled with patriotic spirit
and a fervency that becomes manifest
under whatever flag the German chose to
cast his lot
The government OF the United States OF
America will bear testimony to the fidel-
ity Of the Germans who bravely fought
side by side with men of many tongues in
order to attain unto that end that we
today might enjoy the privileges of this
great nation. Their widows and orphans
are still with us to praise the heroic de-
Tense of husband and father who laid
down his life to make ours a land of the
free, for which the surviving pOsterity
would stand in defense TO the last ditch.
kind, and bear in mind that there Is
natural tendency in every heart that car
ries with It a deep seated sympathy for
those connected with them through blood
ties. We do not dare to allow any ex-
pressions of censure to be uttered against
anyone of the countries at present en-
gagged in the moving down of men. We
would also have it distinctly understood
that even though our hearts are tender
and tears are being shed for our immedi-
ate relatives who are suffering beyong
the seas. we are nevertheless always
ready to frown upon any move that the
world would declare unjust on the part
Of the emperor OF Germany. We dc not
favor the plunging into fate or the
haughtiness on the part OF any monarch.
We call upon our beloved citizens TO
earnestly pray for the nations who have
been thrown into this awful predicament,
asking God to look in mercy on those
Immediately exposed to peril, conflict.
sickness and death; comfort the prison
ers, relieve the suffering of the wounded
and show mercy to the dying: to re-
move all necessity and occasion for wars,
the dispose the hearts of those engaged
therein to moderation. and that peace be
restored among the nations.
Friends, be not biased by sentimentali-
ties, but learn to love thy neighbor as
thyself. JULIUS +. SCHWARZ.
