In these United States there is no
such a thing as neutrality. Officially

that we must remain neutral. but Of
ficially and privately we have very
one-sided opinions. and hesitate not
at all to express them in words or
actions.
There are thousands of German
Americans who pray that the Father
land may come off victorious. In the
case of these the motive is racial
pride and loyalty, and therefore OBJ

There are other thousands, of
Irish. Scotch. French or other blood,
who. while having no great love for
Germany. are pulling for the Teu-
tons merely because they want to
see II kinds of tar knocked out OF
England.
But opposed to these are millions

newspapers caused most of 1t. per-

navy and vague dread of Germany

land because they are afraid or Eng

thus prevent future German in

The result of this none too COM
