street. has received the following let
ter from his brother william, who is
in Germany. The letter is interesting
in it's presentation of the German
view of the war and its causes:
Zweibracaken, Sept. %, 1914.
Dear Brother-Your letter just re-
ceived and from the contents l would
infer that you did not receive my first
letter 1 wrote you since the war start
ed. AS 1 have been used to writing to
you in English, you will be somewhat
surprised to know why 1 am now writ
ing to you in German. During war
time it is strictly forbidden here in
Germany to write or send letters in
any language whose country we are
at war with. At any rate, 1 would
rather write in German in the inter-
est of our d Fatherland.
1 am very anxious to know what
the English papers in America are
writing about the war? 1 suppose
they are printing many misrepresen-
tatiOns about Germany which they re-
ceive from London and Paris. From
the German papers l am sending you,
you will find conditions just as they
are. These papers do not write very
much but whatever news they do give
out is very reliable.
War Is Holy.
The war itself is a holy and just
one for Germany, because it was
forced upon her. The assassination
in Sarajevo of the Archduke Ferdi-
nand of Austria an. his wife was one
of the causes that led to this grea:
catastrophe. The German emperor
was very much grieved over this act
as the archduke was one of his most
devoted friends and at the same time
his ally. The plot for this deed was
planned in Servia, the land of MUIR
derers, and had the support of mill
tary officers in high official standing

Balkan war was treated very shame.

THE MAP is STILL THERE


The Tribune war map is still up, al
though Chief Gleason was notified
several days ago that it would be re-
moved following the general protest
on the part Of business men in the
vicinity of Madison and Dearborn SITS.
The throngs in the street watching
the sign is killing business, claim the
merchants. The other day Capt Glib
bons was compelled to detail three
policemen in order to keep a passage

There has been some fine lodging
at the City Hall since complaint was
first made. The chief waited on the
building department and the building
department waited on the police.
Many promises were made, but the

WILSON SHOWS NO PARTIALLY
President Wilson today refused to
receive HOrance L. Brand, represent
ing Chicago German Americans, who
desired to make replies to the Belgian
commissioners charges of German
atrocities. Wilson took the position
that he had refused similar requests
on the part of American citizens, and
he likewise had in mind his warning
to Americans not to take sides in the
European conflict.

fed that he had known Speer since

and could not help taking sides in

jury was drawn from certain counties,
In another case Judge Speer directed
that certain jurymen be drawn from
certain couties
Judge Speer went on the stand and
his counsel questioned him. Answer
ing Judge Speer said: THE state
ment that I threatened to put any
one in jail that suggested disQualifying
me Is absolutely untrue"
He was always disqualified in cases
where Talley and Hayward were re.
tanned ON contingent fees. He stopped
the partnership Of Talley and Hey.

cause Talley was interested. He new.
er made Tally and Hayward receivers

concerning the row with Akermar
Judge Speer charged Alderman with
being allied with the liquor interests
and that Alderman nolle- pressed sew
eral internal revenue cases, Speer
thought should be prosecuted. Two OF
these cases were against houses OF
debauchery where liquor was sold to
aid prostitution. These cases are yet
unprosecuted.
Judge Speer generally denied
charges against him. After O short
examination by the committee he, left
the stand.
