Accompanying many gratifying
expressions of loyalty to the United
States on the part of American cltl-
zens of German descent, most OF
them to be taken as matter OF
course, are references to 1.-THE ex-
tremelypainfu position" in which
recent events have placed them.
Most of the American colonists
who revolted against British rule
were of British birth or descent, but
what did that fact amount to at
Lexington, Bunker Hill, Saratoga or
Yorktown? Except by those who did
not intend to take part in the con-
flict. not many people at that time
had anything to say of their painful
position. Like all family quarrels,
it was bitter on both sides.
If these had been no militarism
in Continental Europe, the United
States might not have gained to its
power and progress. Militarism has
done precisely what our early Ger
manic immigrants believed it woult
do. 1t has made Europe smambles
1t has had no respect for law, treat
les or humanity 1t has wickedly de
stroyed American lives and property
The descendants of those WIFI
abandoned Germany to escape thi
sort of thing ought not to be yer,
seriously panied, no matter wha
happens, when as American citizen
they perceive how wisely their faith
ers foretold the future. To be pain
full, but to be Americans in the right
even as against Germany, ought t
be glorious.

THE DOG

I've never known a dog to wag
His tail in glee he didn't feel,
Nor quit his old-time friend, to tag
At some more influential heel.
The yellowest cur l ever knew
Was. to the boy who loved him
true.
I've never known dog to show
halfway devotion to his friend;
To seek a kinder man to know
lr richer, but unto the end
The humblest dog l ever knew
Was, to the man who loved him
true.
I've never known a dog to fake
Affection for a present gain
A false display of love to make,
Some little favor to attain,
I've never known a Prince or Spot
That seemed to be what he was
not.
But l have known dog to fight
With all his strength to shield &
friend
And, whether wrong or whether
right,
To stick with him until the end
And | have known a dog to lick
The hand of him that men woul
kick.
And have known dog to bear
Sstarvation's pangs from day t
day
With him who had been glad t
share
His bread and meat along thewa!
No dog, however mean or rude,
Is guilty of ingratitude.
The dog is listed with the dumb,
No voice he has to speak his cree
His messages to humans come
BY faithful conduct; and
creed
He shows, as seldom motrals do,
A high ideal of being true.
