SPEYER Is EXAMPLE ! 0F NATIVE GERMAN TRUE 10 AMERICA Sentimental Attachment for Native Land Doesn't Keep Him From Plattsburg SEVERED ALL TIES
 WITH FATHERLAND Believes That When a Man Becomes Naturalized He Owes Complete
 Allegiance to the Land
 of His Adoption
By HOLLAND

New York. September le-(Special) )
 Among other reports in circulation in the
 financial district purporting to tell of
 the opposition of those who are in sym
 pathy with Germany to the negotiations
 now in progress for the esta blishment of
 loan. or credit in the United States in
 the name of England and France was
 one which intimated that James Speyer
 would not be disposed to participate in
 the underwriting of the loan and that he
 was conspicuous for his absence from
 the first meeting between American
 bankers and the Anglo France commits
 sion in MT. Morgans library
 If MT. Speyer heard these reports, they
 may have annoyed him or possibly amused him. He could have said in re-
 ply to them that he is now furnishing the best evidence of the fact that he re- gards himself as an American citizen, having cheerfully assumed all of the re- responsibilities which his citizenship in- wolves. MT. Speyer is now engaged in military drill in the great camp at Platts- burg. He Is a private soldier, or was at first. He cheerfuly endures the ex- ~~SSA'o hSdt anu IS making earnest at- tempts to master the manual of arms and all of the tactics which are taught in camp. He Is bearing his full share In all the work entailed upon those who are preparing themselves for active ser vice, IT occasion should arise. This man or many millions. some of whose achieve ments in financing rank with the most prlinant of any transactions of that kind within the past 20 years, with important nnancial associations with Frankfort, With London with Mexico and with Cuba. IS now plain private soldier with as simple kit as any private possesses
 Mr. Speyer's reason for undertaking to become trained in military tactics and military life is a simple one He feels that every American citizen of proper age should be qualified to take up arms In defense of the country if at any time that be necessary. He is in thorough sympathy with all the preparations now under way and with all the agitatons now In progress whereby American men can be made familiar with the science and art of war. Very likely Mir. Speyer, born as he was at Frankfort and maintaining close personal, family and business rela- tions with Germany, looks with tender consideration upon the country at this time. That, however. with him is a pure- " sentimental feeling. He recognizes no aHegience that involves any material aid or any loyalty excepting to the country which has adopted him.
 MT. Speyer's friends say that he has good reason for feeling that he is fully Justified in giving the best that is in him

natural protectors brethren of this grand commercial army Not with blaring trumpets is this assistance extended: not with a desire to build up monument for ourselves out of the necessities of the unfortunate, but secretly and with sym pathetic consideration for the objects of our fraternal bounty, obeying always that divine injunction. When thou dost charity, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.' The world knows nothing of these benefactions.
 Tn the fullness of that God-given at- tribute, sympathy. we hold that our most sacred trust is this care of the loved ones of our departed brethren. He who cultivates sympathy and unselfish pity for those upon whom the hand of God has beeh heavily laden. lightens his own heart and ennobles his breast with that feel ing of respect and love for his fellow man which is the foundation and structure of all that is best in civilization.
 ''rhe most precious gifts of God to man are the mother and the children. Mother, Oh. what memories cluster about that sacred name. The one who feels for us in sorrow a keener pang than We feel for ourselves, whose joy in our happiness is greater than our own, who hides our faults and infirmities and rejoices in the honors that have come to us. who is to aS thC Siboodilllcnt Oi uIStlllsHntSS ana devotion.
 And the children. What gift has God bestowed upon man that he can lay so close to his heart? Their mission is more thar that of perpetuating the race. They expend our hearts; teach us the unself- lshness of parenthood fill our lives with affection and sympathy; give our souls higher aims; call out all our latent fac ulties for extended enterprise and ex- ertion They bring around our fireside bright facts, happy smiles and loving tender hearts.
 These, my brothers. are the jewels we place in your keeping and you are charged to accept them your most sacred trust Let it not be said that we have neglected our duty, or overlooked the privilege of ministerng to the widowed and the fath- erless Let us availa ourselves of this happiness, this pleasure of exating sympathy and expanding our souls to meet the fufillment of our destiny, as men willing, aye. glad. to sacrifice self for the upbuiding of humanity

THE RAY OF HOPE" I'M RITUAL OF THE U. c. T.
Greatest and Best Feature of Order Commercial Travellers Widows and Orphans Fund-Beneficaries of De-
 ceased Members Cared for During Life
THE greatest and best feature of

THE greatest and best feature of the
 order of United Commercial Tray
 eiers of America. and which distin- guishes it from all other similar organiza- tions. is its widows and orphans' fund.
 Ihis fund is provided and distributed In monthly installments to the widows and orphans of deceased members who failed when living to otherwise provide for them. There is no limit to the length or time during which the fund is distrib- eted, but the check is sent monthly dur ing the lifetime of the beneficiaries so long as they be needy It has kept the wolf from the door in a great many cases
 Concerning this particular feature of the order, the following is an excerpt from the ritual:
 In wisdom, mercy and true sympathy there has been wrought into the fabric Of this noble order a form of beneficence that guarantees from want the helpless ones of OUT fraternai household so long as this order itself shall endure All men indulge the hope that they may leave their loved ones secure against the visits of cruel poverty; and yet, death, the re- lentless foe of all mankind, comes oft times as a thief in the night. cutting us ruthlessly off before our cherished plans are matured
 Today our loved ones dwell in peace- fui happiness and in the smile of be- nign prosperity, trusting to us in all their sweet helplessness to manfully defend them against the stings and sorrows of misfortune. Tomorrow the clouds may lower; the sky of their happiness become o, ercast; misfortunes may multiply, until at length the mother is compelled to look into the eyes of her innocent little ones, Knowing not whither to turn to provide them with the barest necessities of food, shelter and clothing.
 When this dark day arrives the order of the United Commercial Travellers of comes to her like a ray of hope across cheerless prospect, and lifts the burden from her frail shoulders to place it upon the stalwart shoulders of her

CARLISLE WENT ID EVERY STATE
 IN THE UNION On the Road 23 Years. Health Failed-Now Ex-
 poets To Return 

'T have taken one bottle of Tanlac and feel like ''2-year-old." said E. F. Car lisle. father of Capt Joel D. Carlisle. who conducts the Five Points cigar store, in a conversation with the Tanlac man yester- day. Mir. Carlisle is distant relative of the famous statesman, John G. Car lisle, and is exceedingly popular and we'll known in Birmingham.
 For g years l Twas on the road and travelled in practically every state in the union,'' continued MT. Carlisle, but about two years ago my health seemed to fail me and I have been going down hill nearly ever since. l had what was pronounced to be malaria and chills. fell off from 1s7 pounds until I only weighed IA pounds. I simply had no en- ergy to do anything and felt tired and worn out all the time. Finally, I decided to resign my position with the idea of taking a long rest but the rest did me no good and 1 kept getting worse. Nothing prescribed for me in the way of medi- cine seemed to do me any good
 'I didn't sleep well and would get up in the mornings feeling as bad as when went to bed. Nothing 1 ate seemed to give me any strength and to tell the truth I had about given up hope of get ting any relief.
 But nearly every day I would hear some one talking about Tanlac. I ire quently met travelling men whom l for merly knew on the road and they would tell me of some one who had been great ly benefited and would say, Why don't you try it? Finally I made up my m:nd to take 1t and bought bottle. l saw no change in my condition for the first two days, but on the third day I be- gan to notice an improvement and found myself stepping around little better than usual. also noticed that I did not have that drowsy feeling during the day and vas not near so nervous l kept right on taking it and finally 1t got to be a pleasure for me to look forward to the time for me to take my next dose of Tan lac.
 Before finished the first bottle things began to taste better. l also slept bet ter and my complexion began to clear up. have now finished the first bottle and yesterday I stepped into the Patton Pope drug store and bought me the sec ond bottle. can truthfully say l never was so surprised in my life at the way Tanlac took hold of my case. If keep on improving like I have been doing ex- pect to be back on the road in the next two months time. If people do not believe what have told you about this medicine, just tell them to come to see me and I will tell any one what Tanlac has done for me-
 Tanlac is sold exclusively in Birming- ham by the Patton-Pope Co.,, and Jacobs drug store, under the personal direction of the Tanlac representative. 1t is also on sale in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug company. and at Bessemer by Pegram- Patton Drug company.

 to the United States, since it was in this country that his opportunities have come, his comfortable fortune ff9s been secured and the most cordial and sincere of | friendships have been esta blished. He un- dcuhtedly has recollection of an achieve ment, as brilliant as of any of the time, whereby he, then comparatively young man under 70. ref1nanced the bonded debt of the Lake Shore railroad, $5O,0OO GOO in all. at a low rate of interest, which was oe itself demonstration of the fact that In the United States upon prime invest ment standard rates of interest that were |-leNer than any which had before that time prevailed could be established This achievement put Mir. Speyer In the highest rank of American financlers. He has never forgotten the opportunity which come to him from Americans to conduct this great financial transaction So also, in Cuba. or in Cuban finances he has achieved greatly. but he has done that as an American citizen.
 MT. Speyer's Counsels
 A friend of MT. Spe0er, who Is of German birth, and Is now a reservist holding the commission of lieutenant but who Is and has been for sometime in busi- ness in New York. was married two years ago to an American girl whose for bears were prominent in colonial days. even in the days of the Pilgrims and PuritaIs. To this young friend Mir Speyer safc that it was not only his privilege. but his duty. to take out his first nat uralization papers, His counsel was substantially in these words: You are about to marry an American girl. You have come to tho United States to accept opportunity, to make at least comfort able fortune; you expect to gain your livelihood here. you hope to have all the privileges % far as business and op- portunity are concerned which any Amer ican possesses. You ought therefore, to become. as have done. . citizen of the United States. and when you become citizen of this country you should re- member taat you owe allegiance to no other country, and that in the citizenship conferred upon you you will gain far more than you will give.''
 Whatever relation MT. Speyers great banking house may have to the negotia- ticns now under way betewen represen- tetives of England and France on the one hand and American bankers who will represent nationwide cooperation. 1t Is certain that in view of what MT. Speyer Is now doing at Plattsburg and also of his counsel to his young German friend he will in no way oppose the negotiations and very likely he will accept his pro- portionate part in the underwriting of the plan.
 Sir William Van Horne and Cuba
 When Sir William Van Horne was last in thls city he spoke to the, writer of
