Regarding your ti-German arucles'
I really cannot understand how a true
American citizen can have such pro-
English sentiments. You have IN your
recent issue an article, denmark Tres
of Oppression, Fears Germany, when
is the most absurd threat ever pun
lished.
I was 26 years old when coming to
America From 1860 to 1858, Bismarch
was the most hated man IN Prus .a;l-
The reason that SChleSWlg and Holsteln
were taken away from Denmark was
that Denmark in 1853 prohibited the
use of the German language IN Schles-
wig and HOlstein, both of which Ior-
merIv belonged to Germany. This dirty
action of Denmark aroused all the
youth of Germany 1 attended at ina

Danzig and also belonged to the turner

HOlstein to free it from the yoke o.
Denmark and revenge the outrage OF
Frederic Wilhelm ", king OF RUSSIA
in 1919 when he acted as traitor
against Schleswig- H lsteln- ana mace
most shameful treaty with Denmark
When Bismarck saw the sentiment OF
time riue for the uniting Of Germany,
and placed himself at the head OF the
movement The result was the war
against Denmark and the freeing or
SchIesWig- HOlstein from the Danlsn
woke Austria, as nominal hedQ OF
Germany, demanded Schleswig, which
caused the war of 1856, and France De
manded Luxembourg for It's neutrality
in 1857. The shameful demands OF
France on the king Of Prussia caused
the war of $40. and the humiliation or
France in 1870 is the cause Of the pres
ent war.
The only mistake that Germany, or
rather Prussia, made was that II was
entirely too lenient and fair. lt snoulQ
have annexed Denmark in 1906 ana
should have taken in 1870 a greater
mart Of France and annexed Belgium
and Luxembourg when IL had the full
power and no opposition Ihen Eng
land would have no chance today
I lived in Stettin, which is not far
from SchlesWig-H Olstein and Den
mark for two years, from 1861 70 1ebS'
but nobody ever had an idea that tne
Danes in SchlesWig made complaint
about German oppression. and only
few English Danish court jingos can
bring such bosh into the world 70
produce prejudice against Germany
ANY farseeing politician that mas
studied the history Of the world, can
see plainly the object Of England. with
its alliance with Japan and Russia.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
A portion of our county road IS rem
.dered dangerous, especially at night,
By the large numbers Of horses cattle
and burros that roam at large The
part referred to is about the intersec-
tion OF the new north loop road with
the main county road at Ascarate. A
Mexican living in the angle OF these
two roads maintains a number OF such
animals and has no fence or corral.
consequently they are frequently in the
road or on the bridge at this place.
just east Of this man and a number Of
Mexicans living in dug outs along the
hill side.
They make no pretense Of keeping
their animals or the road. At night
they suddenly appear out OF the dark,
ness in front Of an auto.
Can not these people be made to take
proper care of their stock or do our
laws allow livestock to run at large?
Furthermore these same animals
have killed every shade tree set out
along the two roads by eating the bark
or of them
What is the use of the county com
missioners spending public money to
set out and water shade trees when SO
out Of every leo perish from wantoD
neglect.
