The following letter printed in the
Post Dispatch last Saturday I repro
duce for the eason that it expresses
my own sentiments on the subject en-
crossing the attention of the country.
The letter is signed, al. Wenzel, Ger
an-American," and he gives his ad-
dress as 2012 South Goth street. He is
the brand of German that Americans
delight to welcome to the land not
yet cursed with Imperialism and
Militarism, and is impued with the
spirit that possessed Carl Schurz and
his compatriots who fled from
tyranny and oppression to this
sanctuary of freedom sixty years ago.
Says Mr.. Wenzel:
In the present state of antagonism
to Germany, as represented by the
Lusitania murderers, | wish to call the
attention of all American citizens to
n vital fact, and that is that Ger
mans, simply because they are Ger
mans, should not be blamed for the
crimes of those in official control of
their Government. Even the bitter
est Frenchmen and Englishmen will
concede that the majority of the, Ger
man people are kindly in disposition
and as honest and trustworthy as any
other nationality. The fact that they
are cursed with a gang of laundering,
cowardly, murderous rulers should
not blind us to the virtues of Ger
mans as a people. That the Kaiser
and his advisers will be branded in
history as Nero is because of their
murderous racial hatred and deliber-
ate planning of the massacre of non
combatants is unquestionable. But it
does not alter the other fact that Ger
many as a nation and a people have
traits we all admire and honor. Let
us remember that in fostering racial
hatreds we are following the footsteps
of the iends who conceived, planned
and executed the murder of the babies
and women or the Lusitania. Let us,
indeed, follow the counsels of Christ
and treat all men as brothers and
bury this racial hatred by universal
condemnation of the unspeakable
brutality of the cowardly murderers
who try to keep it alive by their
atrocious methods OF warfare. Let lie
force these towards, who plan these
acts, out upon the firing line. There
is no heroism in sinking defenseless
ships. And nobody but q monomaniac
could call the murder of the thousand
and harmless people on the
Lnsitania a duty to his Fatherland
Let us put the blame where it belongs.
Above all, let US remember that those
who are now trying to justify the un-
justifiable murder of the Lusitania's
passengers do not represent the real
German character or the real German
people. Let us cut them out OF the
body polite and end the horrors they
create.

a friend to all. To the heart broken
wife and four living children we pray
Gods blessings on you. You have

A FRIEND.
BY HIS DAUGHTER.
The monster called Death has invaded
our home
And taken from us a father and son.
How we miss those dear ones they
never will know,
Our circle is broken, our loved ones
r gone
To live with their Savior in yonder
bright home.
He was a dear father, a companion so
And a kind loving friend to all that he
knew.
Our dear blessed Savior has no choice,
Tho heaven the gain, we suffer the
loss.
God called dear father and brother
home to that cline
To wait for the others coming some
time.
Our circle ON earth has been broken
But in heaven we all hope to meet,
And we pray that no link will be
missing
To make that gathering complete
When we gather around the white
throne,
To praise our Savior for tenderly
gathering us home.
