WISE ADVICE.

Elsewhere on this page is printed
letter from Or. Kuno Franckc, the
head Of llayards Germanlc mu-
scum. 60 Congressman nartholdt
This letter should he read by every
American citizen and especially by
those of German ancestry. Its tenor,
its simple reasoning, rs freedom from
passion ana prejudice, It's lofty ideal
Of true patriotism and rs reverence
for Germany and her couee--all OF
these qualities stamp II as doou-
ment OF unusual order. II is the
American of German feeling at his
best.
There was need for such letter
and from such a source For strange
as It may appear, many Americans Of
German ancestry seem TO have let
their sympathy for their fatherland
carry them into paths that might
well lead TO disaster. Men must be-
ware of their emotions. because the
emotions often produce the highest
forms of human achievement; they
are also at the base of most OF the
wrong in the world.
1t Is wrong to attempt TO divide
the American citizenship upon an
emotional basis. especially along ma
tonal, racial or religious lines But
beyond all, Il is foolhardy and
fraught with certain defeat to try TO
stir up the American people against
their own government from an OUT
side or foreign point of view. Il has
been said again aud again that in
this republic politics stops at the
waters edge"
Therefore, for a foreign propagan-
da 70 undertake to enter this coun-
try in the form OF political dictaton
shows complete misapprehension OF
American tolerance. Under such
threat. such an attempt would be as
futile MS It would be hlameworthy
Every real American. no matter
whether pro-German or pro- British
knows that. insofar as its official acts
are concerned. there has not beer
one scintilla of prejudice, fayortism
or Partially upon the part Of the
United states in the enforcement OF
neutrality
let 1t be repeated that our neu-
trality can take no recoenition what
soever Of emotional sympathy II has
nothing 20 do with moral preludices
or popular feelings The Washington
government can DO nothing except te
settle foreign relations according tc
principles established by interna-
tional precedent and usage with fair
ness and Justice 60 all helligerents
To ask or expect hdre. IS To- demand
that Il be un-American.

But even II the democrats could

country To Havana, or 10 Vigo, or to
SOON other neutral port and would
reach their destination from there
without any hindrance.
What | do wish to emphasize is
that the establishment Of such an en-
barge would Inevitably bring our gov
eminent into conflict with England
and might drive us into war with
England. As a man Of German blood
| might welcome the help which
would accrue to Germany by such a
conflict between the United States and
England. But as an American citi-
zen ] can not possibly support a policy
which would bring the terrors of war
to our own country
What J feel bound to support, as an
American citizen. Is a policy which
holds itself strictly within the now
accepted rules Of neutrality, although,
10 my regret, this policy. through cir
cumstances over which the United
States has no control. practically
turns out to the advantage OF England
and 20 the detriment Of Germany.
There is another point in your cir
cular letter in which, as an American
citizen ! feel bound to disagree from
you You say that Fan emphatic pro-
test should he entered against every
attempted discrimination against the
many millions of our citizens who
happen TO bear non English names"
II by these many millions you mean
citizens Of German descent, 1 fail to
see what you mean by attempting dis
elimination against them. That there
is a strong ant-German feeling in
this country at the present moment
can not he denied. / believe this feel
ing TO be rooted in wrong and short
sighted view Of the issues al stake in
abe European war, The necessity of
combating shortsighted views of the
majority makes the situation for us
COMMUNICATIONS for the moment
far from pleasant
But Of determinations proposed or
attempted against German American
citizens I am unaware Nothing, it
seems to me, Is more preiudlced TO
our position as American citizens than
the clamor for recognition which is
so often heard at German mass meet
ings. Nothing would be more fatal
TO our standing in the community
than the insistence on racial contrasts
and demands
We have every opportunity in this
country to make felt what is best in
German character and life. Let us
continue to do SO; let us continue to
have a prominent part in all endeav
ors for political civic and Industrial
progress let us stand for the Ger
man Ideals Of honesty, loyalty, truth
fulness, devotion to work. let us cul-
tivate our language, our literature and
our art; let us fearlessly defend the
cause of our mother country against
prejudice and aspersions
But let us refrain from political or
ganizations which would set Germans
in this country apart as a class by
themselves, Such an attempt would
lead not to the raising. but to the de-
gradation Of the German name in this
country II would foster hatred in
stead of sympathy; and only by gain
Ing the sympathy of the majority Of
the American people can we German

the following remarks be read at the

| fully believe in the righteousness

self of every opportunity as ! have

fcrvent hope that Germany and her
Austro- Hungarian ally Will remain
victorious in a struggle forced upon
them by the aggression of a most I'M
natural coalition of powers held to-
gether by nothing but irrational fear
of German ascendancy | believe that
the prominent part taken by England
in this coalition is crime against

For, ii successful, 1t would lead to
the ruin of country which for the

vice, social organization and peaceful
enterprise. and which is a shining IL
illustration Of the beneficial effects of
good government upon the develop
ment of civic virtue, personal worth,

deeply deplore, therefore, the
gross and ignorant misrepresentation
OF German achievements and German
aspirations of which a large part of
the American press has made itself
guilty That mono of these misrepre-
sensations Is more deliberately ig-
n0rant than the assertion that the
present war is for popular freedom

MY sympathies, therefore, in this
