THE GREATNESS OF GERMANY.
&C.. u. u" Tells of Misfortune tn
World Dismembermcnt OF Germany
Would Mean.
Editor Daily Item:

Editor Daily Item:
The writer is aware Of the feeble
ness Of his efforts to present the Ger
man people to his countrymen in a
proper light, in the face of so many
noble writer's who are daily, through
our great publications. publishing
their sentiments, which are anti-Ger-
man. The German people were an
old nation when the Roman historian
wrote of them in the year A. d. 90.
1t is supposed that they migrated
from Asia many thousands Of years
before they were discovered by The
Romans. Like all to be great collec-
tons of people they were named !y
their enemies German meaning war
man." the toughest the Romans had
ever come across and worthy Of the
name. They were thus named, not
because they were conquerors Of other
people. but because they could de-
fend their own land.
The German is q home maker and
has demonstrated it to all who have
taken the trouble to look up his his
tory. There have been only a few
deviations from this rule by the ma
ton during an honorable career Of 800
years, that is a policy to acquire for
eign soil.
Germany has developed her cOndi-
ton from savagery tc the highest pin
nacle Of civilization and culture. She
has grown quite modern in trade and
finances. She has cared for her peo-
pie so carefully that the modern Ger
man Is as stout in body as the wild
German Of ancient times. She never
came under the sway of the Romnas
and has never been contaminated by
subjugation, except for a short while
by the popes of Rome. While all other
nations of the earth have suffered
from arrested development, Germany
has never, and today she stands out
In all Of her pristine youth, unas-
sailable and unterrifed, a tonic for the
world.
If Germany was destroyed and
Esmoked out. where would the man.
ly man turn his yes for inspiration ?
Surely not to Russian slavery, nor to
Italy. nor to pretty little, France. nor
to England which has about absorbed
all the property Of the world and al
low her W people to starve for. by
their W confession, the s~ix-foot sol.
der that opposed George Washington
is now five feet one. Surely we would
not turn to Japan or China. Where
then, but to Germany? ".|'
With Germany 'dismembered anc
denationalized there would be a clean
slide Of the whole world back into the
dark ages and manhood would &c
down before money for all time.

Basel. Switzerland. May 12.--The
Swiss government today Is sending
more troops to the southern frontier,
especially to Lugano, because OF re-
cent anti-German demonstrations. 1t
Is estimated 10000 Germans from

of their support"
There was a tremendous ovation
as the president finished his speech.
Afterwards he returned to the station
and entered his private car. He was
due to leave for Washington at mid
night and to arrive in Washington
early tomorrow.
Because of the present status of in
ternational affairs, extraordinary pre-
cautions had been taken to guard the
president. Seven hundred and fifty
policemen had been detailed for this
duty.
Seven detectives acted as a pcr,
sonal guard and rode directly behind
the president through the streets. In
addition hundreds Of policemen led
the procession and brought up the
rear. The city troop acted as a
guard Of honor. This was the 45th
time the troop has thus escorted a.
president.
On his return trip from the hall
the president rode for three miles
along streets almost solidly lined with
cheering people. Frequently he raised
his hat and bowed. Automobile
horns sounded a steady chorus. In
the Broad street station of the Penn
sylvania railroad several thousand
persons cheered as the president
stepped aboard his private car. He
smiled and waved his hat. Soon after
ward the president retired.
The station was packed with q
cheering crowd when the president
arrived. The streets were lined with
people who shouted a noisy and en-
thusiastic welcome.
AT Convention hall Mr.. Wilson
found Secretaries Wilson and Daniels
on the platform. The hall was
densely packed. Little American flags
were held by thousand and the hall
was decorated profusely with the ma
tional colors.
Let us unite in singing America"
were the words with which Mayor
opened the meeting. The
president stood with the crowd and
joined In the singing. Everywhere
there was enthusiasm,
The Rev. Henry M. Couden offered
after which speeches began.
DR.. Couden prayed that peace be
made stronger than war and love
stronger than hate" and also that the
people Of the United States might
stand behind their president in his
endeavor to lead the ma
ton rightly"
