How GOrman-AmOriCdnS
Have Saved the Country
Especial Correspondence for this paper
by a prominent Washingtonian).

Twice already have the United States
been saved from disaster by her citi-
zens of German blood.
In the terrible days before the Civil
War, Germans were unanimous in their
opposition to slavery. Without the
Germans, Lincoln would V have
been President and when Anglo-Amer-
leans allowed themselves to be misled,
by false doctrines and false loyalty to
state instead of nation, into am attempt
at destroying the country, Germans re,
manned loyal to the core, even in such
slave-ridden states as Maryland, Texas
and Missouri. Regiments composed Of
Germans, commanded by such stalwart
German-American as Bernstein and
Sigel, marched out Of St. Louis and
took the rebel state troops prisoners.
Thereby Missouri was prevented from
joining the secessionists, and without
Missouri it is more than doubtful
whether the North would not have been
compelled to "let the erring sisters go
the very first year of the War.
A second time the Germans saved
this country, this time from the eco
nomic ruin which would have over
taken us if the wild schemes Of Anglo
American greenbackers and silverites
had succeeded. During the long strug-
gle which preceded the final defeat Of
the inflationists in 1896, the German
vote welded the balance Of power and
stood like a wall of adamant to protect
the policy of honest payment of debts
and a stable currency. A Germans
American Member of Congress, P. ".
Deuster, of Wisconsin, was threatened
with bodily harm and !
out Of the Democratic party BY the
leader of the dishonest money crowd.
Being a German, he stood all the frmer
for what he knew was right.
And honest money wonl
1t looks as if, in the year 1915, the
United States were going to be saved,
for the third time, from imminent ruin,
financial, political and moral. If the
impudent scheme of the British, to steal
Our money by means of the machina-
tons Of their obedient Wall Street tools,
is defeated, who can deny that the VIC
tory for true Americanism is due, first
of all, to the German-American bank
businessmen, and depositors, who
protested with one voice against that
nefarious scheme?
And it looks as if the scheme were
going to be defeated

A resident of Washington, holding a
policy in one of the largest life insur-
ance companies in the country, wrote to
the management protesting against the
rumored participation of the company
in the loan or subsidy to the Allies.
He gave three reasons for his objec-
ton. First, that the investment was not
safe enough for trust funds; secondly,
that the money is needed for the sup
port and development of our domestic
industries; and finally. that so large a
loan to a b~elligerent was clearly a
breach of neutrality.
Without delay, an answer came back
that the established policy of this com
pany was not to invest abroad except in
SO far as that was required by law in
order to do business in foreign coun-
tries, and that there was no reason to
believe the finance committee which had
the matter in charge would in this case
change its investment policy.

A recent number Of the Christian
Science Monitor contained the follow
ing extraordinary paragraph:
Tens of thousands Of foreign-born
persons in the United States are being
misled today by hne-spun theories re-
garding that point at which their duty
towards the United States leaves off
and their duty to their native country
begins" and much more to the same
effect.
The Christian Science Monitor is usu-
ally a well-informed periodical, and a
hundred leagues above the standard OF
the ordinary Anglo-American news
papers, as regards Information. intelli-
gence and morals. In this instance,
however, it has been most woefully mis-
led by somebody.

as of special importance. These are
the operations on the left bank of the
NareH, 20 the north of the Polish cap
ita1 against the town of Chelm; to
the southeast, where possession of the
railroad is the point at issue, and
along the Bug.
The Germans, according to Russian
official reports, have brought UP
enormous reserves, but nevertheless.
the Russian authorities say the troops
of Emperor Nicholas have taken the
successful offensive at several points
Germans Hold Firmly on Bug.
The German attacks along the
River Narew have been checked, and
along the River Bug the Russians are
holding firmly. On the other hand,
German troops under Field Marshal
Won Mackensen have made progress
toward the Lublin-Chelm railroad. In
the south area of Russian Poland, be-
tween the Vistula and the VieprSe the
operations would appear to have
reached a temporary standstill. AS
an offset to this, the Germans are
widening the sphere of their hostili-
ties toward the east.
Sparodic Fighting in West.
In the western theater of war, last
night, the Silesian landsturm stormed
a portion of the trenches recently cap
tured by the French. Paris admits
the Germans advanced twenty yards
at one position. In the Vosges the
Germans recaptured the Luigekopf
which they lost Monday. In the Ar
gonne, in the vicinity of Fountaine-
AuX-CharmeS, the Germans were re-
pulsed by infantry fire.
No general engagements are report
ed in the west, fighting being sporadic
and the firing more or less desultory.

ENGINEER DIDN'T KNOW.
No Way to Gauge the Filling of Bal
last Tanks.

Chicago, July 28.-The assistant en-
gineor, whose duty it was to super
wise the trimming of ship by fill
ing and emptying the water ballast
tanks of the Eastland, did not know
how long it took to fill or empty
them. He only knew that, if he
pulled a lever it would let water in;
and that when he pulled another it
would let the water out.
Assistant Engineer F. 5. Snow
swore to this statement as the first
witness today in the coroner's inquest
into the Eastland disaster.
Another important fact was brought
out while Snow testified. Assistant
State Attorney Sullivan asked him:
isn't it a fact that the Eastland's
water ballast tanks were emptied so
she could get to her dock; that when
she listed to starboard, that is, to-
ward the dock, the port tanks were
filled, but that when the crowd got on
she listed to port, that is, toward the
river, you were unable to empty those
port side ballast tanks and let the
water out fast enough ?''
Snow hesitated a long while over
the question and had 1t repeated.
THAT is a fact" he finally said.
How long were you employed on
charge of the water ballast machin-
ery?" Snow was asked.
Two days." he replied.
Did you ever ask for or receive
any instruction now TO run Inem 2.
NO" said Snow.
Snow said he left the vessel when
the list became so great that water
poured into the gangway.
Describing the efforts to fill the
starboard tanks, Snow said:
I'VE had pumped out the port tanks
and began to fill the starboard tank
Mr.. Erickson said: I think it is
catching meaning that the intake
was working. We had no idea that
the tanks were not filing"

insurance companies say they are
prayed upon by ''snitch'' lawyers who
secure lump sum judgments for per
manent injuries to the spine. If this
be true, in some instances, the course
pursued in this case is not less dis
reputable and affords no remedy. 1t
IS quite possible that district courts
have sometimes hesitated to render
judgments for compensation payable
in lnstallments because of the prac-
teal certainty that wCrkmen would
be hounded into unjust compromise
by one proceeding after another,

1t is not considered good form for
the court to make suggestions to the
legislature, which body has sole au-
thority to make the law and which
reserves to itself the power to regu-
late practice and proceedings in court,
except in the most minor matters.
Some disagreeahle facts, however,
have been set down in this opinion,
plainly and in detail, which not only
disclose condition, but which ought
to awaken some interest in some
quarters.
