GERMAN-AMERICAN
REMEMBER FAT'HEI,LAND


REMEMBER FAT'HETI.AND
"one excellent effect of the war Is
upon German Americans, who without
sacrifice of their loyalty to their adopted
country, have shown strong remem-
brancc of their descent, their education
and their culture. Reside them on the
other side of the ocean. there are wide
circles who sympathizc with Germany"
Abiding to the discussion over the
ammunition question. DE-. Meyer-Ger-
hard says:
Germans often mistake large am
munition orders for filed orders To
a large extent such orders are chang
ing big factories into ammunition
works. This is regrettable, but tho
writer is convinced that large parts
OF the American people disapprove OF
II. a popular vote would show con-
siderable majority against the practice.
Germans must discriminate between
business men accepting orders and the
great mass Of the American people.
Equally there are Americans who
condemn violation of Relgian neutrality
and the sinking OF the Lusitania, and
are unable TO understand the German
idea OF the real conditions. while Ger
mans arc unable to understand how
Americans could travel on an ammuni =
ton ship.
Roth peoples arc laboring under en-
tirely different opinions. Both have
lived heretofore in peace and friend
ship, and should continue so to live.
There is no real reason for antagon-
ism existing between them"
In the course of his article, DR..
Meyer r-Gerhard spoke of the causes

ica citing them as what he alluded TO
as the latter's inclination towards Eng
land and munition sales in America
Germany, on the other hand. he said,
was.rcproached with violating Belgian
neutrality and devoting itself to mill
tarism in order to conquer the whole
world. The deaths of Americans on
the Lusitania had unfavorably affected
American sentiment towards Germany,
he added.
EACH NATION FEELS
ITSELF WRONGLY TREATED
Regarding the question of Belgian
neutrality and militarism. the writer
says the Germans cannot understand
the feeling aroused in America over
these questions, as they know that Bel
gium surrendered her own neutrality.
and that militarism is only the German
nation in arms for it's own defense.
Tho American viewpoint was different,
however, and each nation feels itself
wrongly treated by the other. The
whole matter was only one OF misun-
derstanding, said DIR. Meycr-Gerhard,
which can also arise between friends.
No sensible man, he said. will lights
hcartedly throw away n frirndship OF
long years because he cannot on one
occasion mako himself completely un-
derstood Sensible nations. he argued,
will conduct themselves in like manner.

Pay Day in the Trenches.

The pay department of the British
army now employs nearly 700 officers
and about 1000 clerks. This is near
ly ten times as many people as were
required for the work in times of
peace. The housing of the constantly
growing staff Of the paymaster's office
was one of the first difficulties, and
the London main office has moved
twice since the war begun. Lately
it has taken to adding private houses
to it's Office area. Much of the time
siEce the first of August the whole
army pay organization has worked day
and night.
The soldier receives his pay, if he
wishes it, not only at the front, but
even in the trenches. The cash, in
French currency notes, is issued by
his company officer in the field, and is
accounted for on the so-called "ac-
quaintance rolls" Every soldier car
ries his paybook right through the
war. AS far as possible he is paid
weekly. Men in the advanced
trenches draw their pay almost as If
they were in the barracks at home.

To Use WOOD-WASTE
Latest Business Aid Service IN
stituted by Government.
Enables Wood-Using Industries to
Utilize Each Others Waste to
Mutual MISUNDERSTANDING
Meets With Success.

Washington-The latest business
aid service instituted by the govern
ment is a wood-waste exchange. 1t
enables lumbermen and manufacture
ers in the various wood-using indus
tries to utilize each others waste to
mutual advantage, aiming to effect a
large saving in forest material as well
as in money.
The wood-waste exchange is being
conducted by the forest service of the
department of agriculture. More than
forty manufacturers of wooden arti-
cIes already have asked to be listed
as having certain kinds of waste wood
for sale, or as desiring to obtain their
raw material in the rough or in semi
finished form from mill or factory
waste.
Twice a month the exchange sends
out circular headed, Opportunities
to Buy Waste" containing the names
and addresses Of factories having
waste wood for sale, with exact in
formation as to species, sizes, forms
and quantities. Similarly, another. cir
cular headed, Opportunities to Sell
Waste" gives the specific require
ments of wood-using plants which de-
sire to buy waste material.
One of the first waste problems
solved has been that of a furniture
maker who wrote to the forest service
asking how to dispose of sugar maple
blocks and sticks which were cut off
in the process of furniture making
and which he had to sell merely as
fuel. Samples were obtained from
him and the forest service then To-
Gated a scrubbing- brush manufacturer
who used small maple blocks for brush
backs. The result was that the furni-
ture maker was enabled to sell his
waste at a much higher price than it
had brought as fTeWood, while the
brush maker was enabled to buy brush
back material in suitable sizes at a
much lower figure than it had been
costing him to buy maple lumber and
cut it up.
Firms which have been put into
touch with each other through the eX-
change are expected to notify the for
est service when their requirements
have been met; then their names are
removed from the lists. In this way
several concerns which early took ad-
vantage of the plan have dropped off
the lists; but as more and more manu-
facturers learn of the wood-waste eX-
change the lists are steadily growing.
