Justice to Our Adopted Citizens.

Residents of London are sackng shops kept by
men of German origin or by men who even
suspected of entertaining German sympathies; and
in view of the Zeppelin raids directed by the Ber-
lin war Office and resulting principally in the death
of women and children, there is no severe condem-
nation by the worlds neutral remnant OF the over
wrought popuace of the English metropolis. In
New York isolated instances arc reported OF neigh
borhood boycotts of shops kept by Germans or
naturalized Americans who were born in Germany
or whose parents or grandparents were sub ects
of the German Empire. For this latter procedure
there is no reason or excuse. Native Americans
possessed OF sufficient intelligence to discrini-
nate, and they should discriminate, between the
Prussian military system in control in Berlin,
which dictates the barbarous methods OF warfare
of which people have been the victims,
and the law abiding peace loving citizens resi-
dents of the United States whose Fatherland is
Germany. 1t proven long ago civil
that the great majority of these people are
loyal to the government of the country of their
adoption, and there is shadow of reason to
doubt that matter where the present crisis
may lead, they will be found on the side of the
republic in which they have chosen to make their
homes and to which they have sworn fealty. In
the great conflict between Germany and her allied
opponents, it is but natural that the sympathies
of this class of our citizens should be with the
Fathcrland, though they may condemn the
course of those in control of its destinies, who
have violated the laws of civilization and hui
mainly. Love OF native land is something to be
recognized, but with Fathcrland wrong and the
nation of adoption right there need be no con-
Germ as to the choice of our naturalizcd citizens
of German origin.
Today VIC have native born Americans some
of them in high Office apologizng for outrages
perpctratcd against this country by the conquest
crazed system in control in Berlin and thus it
i'll becomes to criticize condemn those
American citizens of German birth who openly
confess their hope of German triumph over her
allied opponents. There need be little doubt that
these people of German birth and American adop-
ton would be quick our native apoogists to
flock to the Stars and Stripes should the issue ever
be brought to question OF which flag. And it is
for this reason that Americans, IN their righteous
indignation at the hideous crueltics directed from
Berlin of which their countrymcn have been the
victims, should be slow to condemn or to critcisc
friendship has been tried and whose dealings with
their fcowmen OF whatever nationality have ever
been fair and honorable. They may love Germany

James 4. Scrymser is one of the few
men who We're associated with very
great affairs in the last half of the past
century who were faithful to a promise
made to themselves to write and publish
accounts of events of great national i'm
portance with which they were associ-
ated. Some men who could have told
not only interesting narratives. but also
those which would have been Of historic
importance, prOcra estimated and died
without writing and publishing personal
memoirs. The late Gen. ECkert, long
president of tine Western Union Tele-
graph Company, from time to time I'M
dertook to set down for preservation
many of the incidents in the history of
the telegraph. and especially in civil war
days. of which he had knowledge, but
he procrastinatcd. The late George s.
Coo. who had intimate knowledge of
much of the financing which WAS per-
formed by Lincoln's Secretary Of the
Treasury. Salmon r. Chase. was always
talking about writing his "reminiscences
of those important days. but he put il
off too long. SO that with his death in
formation which would have been of
value To future generations was lost

and who constructed the Union Pacific
Railroad. has fulfilled a promise made to
himself and others. although his reCOl-

ton only. lie Grand b. Cannon. a man
of great influence at the time Of the civil
war, wrote and caused to be published
for private circulation his recollcctons
of many interesting events of civil war
days. James A. Scrymser has recently
contributed for private circulation a VOL
ume Of recollections which are not only
of interest at the present time, but also
will be valuable to the historians who
write. by and by, the history of the
United States in the last half Of the
nineteenth century.
One of Mr.. Scrymsers anecdotes
contains the first authoritative state
ment by the late J. p. Morgan of the
conversation which took place be-
tween him and President Cleveland
just before Mr.. Morgan delivered to
the Federal Treasury some sixty mil
lion in gold and pledged himself to
keep that. gold in the Federal Treas
ury.
There had been many and varied
accounts of this incident. Both Mr..
Morgan and President Cleveland were
severely criticised for this transaction.
Neither ever made public complaint

ows.
1t would have been much better had
Gen. Braddock chosen a route farther
to the north, where the Pennsylvania
farmers of the frontier had begun to
make roads and open the forests for
the plough; but it made little difference
after all, which way he went: his temper
and his training doomed him to fail.
He lacked neither courage nor capacity
but he sadly lacked discretion.
He meant to make his campaign in
the wilderness by the rules Of war he
had learned in Europe. where the for
ests were cleared away and no subtitle
savaGes could dog or ambush an army.
and he would take no advice from prov
metals.
Few but Washington cared to volun-
was "a very IroGuois in disposition"
He took 1000 men into the wilderness
with artillery trains and baggage: l.4OO
regulars. nearly 500 Virginians. horse and
foot. two independent companies from
New York. and sailors from the trans
ports TO rig tackle to get his stores and
field pieces out of difficulties in the rough
road

provincial officer whose advice was Civ

of the criticism. although after Cleve-
land retired from the Presidency he
occasionally spoke of il as unjust be-
cause il was unfounded.
Mr.. SCrymser says that Mr.. Morgan
told him that when he first called at
the White House to see President
Cleveland the President received him
civilly. but very coldly. He told the
President that unless something were
done to stop the drain of gold from
the Federal Treasury a very dangerous
panic WAS certain to come.
Mr.. Morgan told Cleveland that II
would he good plan to get the ac-
vice of Richard Olney. then Secre-
tary of State. Mr.. Olney went to the
White House and he told the Presi-
dent that there was in law authority
for the President to buy gold. There
upon. Mr.. Morgan said that he had
not come to urge the President TO sell
bonds. but instead had come to offer
one hundred millions in gold. Upon
Mr. Olney's statement of what was
the law, the President accepted the
offer.
The late Frederick n Tappan IN
1900. said to me: The only time when
J. T. Morgan had his hack to the wall
fighting was in the six months which
followed the sale of the government of
sixty millions in gold. He had prom
ised President Cleveland that he would
protect that gold. The only way he
could do that was 10 provide bills OF
exchange with which all foreign de-
mands could he met He was six
months standing at hay fighting the
world. which was demanding gold, by
providing exchange with which that
demand could he met. Morgan has had
great many battles. but he has had
none which was so difficult to win as
was this one"

The sensation mongcrs had to rack their brains
to imagine a reason discredtable to some one for
the return to Washington of Miss McAdoo,
daughter of the Secretary OF the Treasury and Miss
Katherine Brtton who have been nursing wound
ed soldiers in France Their reprehensible efforts
fall fat however, in face of Secretary McAdoo's
simple explanation that his daughter returns to
America with great reluctance and only because
feel that she is equal to the continued mental

suggestions arising out OF the conference here If

The success Of tho New York department OF
cducation's campaign for a dental hygiene week
was proven a few days ago when 100000 school
boys and girls in the city schools appeared in
their classes with individual tooth brushes. In
an effort to the individual tooth brush
for each boy and girl, teachers in all OF the
schools have suggested to their pupils that they
forego candy and ice cream sodas and the
money to buy tooth brushes. Some day the
pupils themselves will wonder why the three Rs
have been relocated to a back seat.
