GERMAN BORN
 AMERICAN IS
 AGAINST HYPHEN

STOCKBRIDGE. Mass. Sept. S. Oswald Garrison Willard. publisher of the New York Evening Post. in an address here Saturday, declared that the movement among American citizens or foreign, especially German descent to form bodies apart from the citizenship. presented @ far-reach- ing domestic issue which the Ameri- can people must conquer.
 Mir. Willard said an important fac tor in the continuance of the "Ameri- can melting pot, lay in educating immigrants to the proper duties of citizenship.
 He said he was "born on German soil. of a German father.
 No Divided Loyalty
 Foreigners becoming American ci- tizens should be made to understand. Mr. Willard said. that there. can be no divided citizenship or allegiance under the American flag; that no one can accept political obligations here while at heart loyal to another social system. entity or code of laws.
 Mr. Willard quoted from an address made by Carl Schurz. in which Mr Schwz said that no matter how warm the affections German-AmeriCans had held for their native land. they had never permitted their affections to interfere with their duties as Ameri- can citizens. nor to seduce them to use their power in American poli- ties for foreign ends.
 Sehurz Would Be Amazed
 How amazed Schurz would be to return to us today" said Mir. Willard. "He would find to his horror that at this moment the presence on the soil of German-Americans adds fuel to the flames of bitterness.
 Naturally Schurz would scan the horizon for some discriminatory act on the part of our government. or some manifestation of racial project against German-Americans. but he would find nothing of the sort.
 The mighty convulsion we are wit messing. he would ascertain to be due entirely to foreign complication. to a determination on the part of our Communications to stand by their right or wrong.
 Why Did They Come?
 What could amaze him more than to find Germans, who, like himself came to this country to escape the very militaristic autocracy they now uphold, today deuouncing the nation that adopted and sheltered. fed and clothed them?"
 He then asked if it were true, as contended. that German culture and political system were superior to the scheme of life and government in America. Why the hordes who have Hooked here did not so to Germany instead.
