Why American Sympathy Is
Not With Germany
Nv DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

There can be little doubt of the fact
that the sympathies of the American
people are with the allies and against
Germany, however we may try to main
tain neutrality in our official acts.
have letter from German friend ask
ing me why this is.
My friend alludes to "the pro- British
press Of this country and hints that it
is bought with English gold That, Of
course, is sheer nonsense. In the first
place, the English are too conceited to
care much what Americans think, and,
in the second place, they have other
uses for their money just now.
The trouble is fundamental. Germany
and Austria stand for kind of govern
ment which to Americans is intolerable.
England, Italy, and France stand for
democracy. Russia, of course, is the ex-
ception. lndividualism or liberty may
be very dangerous thing but Ameri-
cans are crazy about it. A world DOM
mated by Prussian militarism or Aus
trian aristocracy would be to us impos-
sible.
Secondly. Americans have been mex
pressibly shocked at certain German
acts in this war. They still refuse to
believe these things are really German,
and call them Hohenzollern or Prussian.
| refer to the acts of "frightfulness,"
of plain wanton cruelty, and to the fact
that German newspapers seem to glory
| in these, German intellectuals seem to
defend them, and the German people in
America seem to apologize for them. To
us it is incredible how civilized people
can commit them, still more unbelievable
how they can support a ruling class
guilty of them.
There are deeds that no amount Of
neutrality" can look upon with COM
| placence. Such are the violation of the
solemn agreement to respect the integ-
rity of Belgium. the unquestioned vio-
! lence and horrors that characterized the
! German invasion of that country and
Of northern France the disregard of
that principle of war which dictates that
attacks should not be made upon non
combatants, the Zeppelin raids upon Eng
land where only women and children
were injured and no military advantage
gained, the whole submarine plan Of war
fare, where, instead Of striking at the
enemy's armed vessels, blows are direct
ed at innocent fishing craft and passen-
ger ships. | say nothing here of Ger
many's offenses toward the United
States.
We have known the German people
and loved them. We find it impossible TO
believe that they are consenting to such
monstrous barbarity. The only way we
can square the matter in our minds is to
say, first, that the great body Of the
| German people cannot know what is go
ing on, and. second. that the German war
policy is carried out by small group
of madmen who do not represent the
people.
Unfortunately, however, most German
Americans strenuously deny both OF
these excuses. So what are we TO
think?
Americans are not angry with Ger
many: they do not hate her. That sort
of thing is not in our blood. Our feel
ing toward her is well described by
Owen Wister in his recent volume, THE
Pentecost Of Calamity"-we feel as if
dear friend had suddenly gone mad and
committed terrible crime.

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 1.-THE bill
to make a separate state out OF the
panhandle section Of Texas, although
buried in committee today and fatei
to die by sentiment FOR the "granu

was as its author Senator w. "A.
Johnson, pointed out in the preamble
of his resolution, to force the reds
tricting of Texas in accordance with
the 1ast CELSIUS
The charge was specifically mace
that liquor interests were. largely re-
sponsibie for the failure to redistrlcs
and give the Panhandle section fair
representation in congress. A "slusn
fund to control state politics was
mentioned and the inhabitants OF the

AN OLD RECIPE

Almost everyone knows that Sage

and lustre to the hair when faded.
streaked or gray; also ends dafidruff,
itching scalp and stops falling hair.
Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make 1t at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui.
phur COMPOUND" You will get large
bottle for about so cents. Everyone
uses this old, famous recipe, because
no one can possibly tell that you
darkened your hair. as it does 1t SO
naturally and evenly. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair. taking one
small strand at a time: by morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, your hall
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.

every school child in America. The
proposition to divide Texas into two
or even more states Is not new one.
But this year the suggestion was re-
ceived with less ridicule than ever
and few political wiseacres were
willing to predict that in the not far
distant future such a bill would have
a fair chance OF passing the legisla-
ture.
Senator Johnson's bill proposed to
organize new sovereign state out OF
the four western counties and the So
called Panhandle district. The pre-
amble declared this section was en-
titled to two more congressman than
it has today, that 1t supplies practic-
ally all the public school lands and
pays to support free education in
Texas out Of all proportion to other
parts Of the state, and that its repre-
sentation in the state legislature
should be increased.
The bill provided for the organiza-
ton of legislature and a constitu-
tional convention IN the suggested
new state.

POOR CONDITIONS
BEING BETTERED
United Charities Work Is Of the Up
lifting Sort Where People
are, In Miro.

A very dirty three room house was
the home until recently of man, his
wife and their five children. The man
spent a great deal Of time hunting
work and succeeded in securing only
few small Jobs. The wife, because
she was a good washer was able to
keep busy most Of the time and so
support the family. Their furnishing
of the home were of the most meager
kind, consisting of bed, a broken
table and three chairs. and delapi-
dated stove There were no carpets
on the floors and the children, one Of
whom was a sixteen year old giri,
slept on pile of old clothing thrown
into a corner Of one of the rooms.
Fuel was out of question If they had
to buy 1t, so the children were sent
out after dark to raid coal sheds and
woo6piles These conditions have ali
been changed through the united eff
fort Of several friends Of the United
Charities, Perhaps the change came
soon enough to prevent some of the
children developing into criminals.

In the hands of talented actors and
actresses the above three act COMEDY
would be overlooking with fun but as
presented at the Grand last night It
came very far from being entertain
ing. It is a clever play in the hands
OF mediocre talent and naturally fell
short of giving satisfaction. AS very
little can be said for the company the
less said against it would at least be
generous.
