THE GERMAN VIEW.
BY Hugo Won Kliest.

No American woman of German
descent has done and is doing, more
for the German cause in this country
than Miss Anita Schade of Washing
ton, d. c. Miss Schade has not only
been instrumental in raising sums
of money for the German and Aus
tro-Hungarian war suffers, but she
was prominent in the delegation of
women who called on President Will
son some months aeo and protested
against the sale of arms and ammu-
milton to the allies. Miss Schade's
father was the well-known editor of
the Washington Sentinel, the late
Louis Schade, who was the direct
means of stopping the shipments of
arms and ammunition to France in
the Franco-Prussian war of 1870.
Grant, at that time President, per-
mitted these shipments, but Mr..
Schade addressed himself direct to
Congress, and succeeded in stopping
the unholy traffic. His daughter has
inherited his high spirit and patriot
ism, and her devoted work deserves
recognition.

When it suited him, DR.. Bernhard
Dernburg has claimed official rela-
tionship with the Kaiser's Govern
ment At times again he has posed
merely as a private citizen. But for
the time being, at least, Ambassador
Won Bernstorff is the accredited rep
resentative of the Kaiser at Wash
ington.
The character of DR.. Dernburg's
instructions from Berlin. If he holds
any, has not been revealed, but his
conduct and his utterances during
his long stay in this country have
been exceedingly offensive. AS an
alien, whether an authorized agent
of the Kaiser or not, his presence in
the United States is no longer desir-
able.
A brief notice conveyed to him on
the part of the United States Gov
eminent to move on at the earliest
date possible would remove all ques-
ton of his status. His mission as a
German propaganda and agitator
has been lamentable failure from
Germany's standpoint, and in with
drawing from him the privilege of
further abusing American hospital
ity and good nature the United
States Government will be render
ing the Kaiser an invaluable SER
vice.

Yes; but suppose you had your

He gazed blankly.
What is it your ambition to be -
coaxed.
Il don't know" he finally drawl-
ed.
Surely you have some idea of the
kind of job you would pick if you

agingly.
"No; I never thought about it at
ALL" he confessed.
Yet he was about 16 years old and
had been trying for months to find

A second boy. whose family had

on a similar mission. He had been
looking forward to a full education,
but had been cmpelled to drop
school and seek employment in or
der to contribute to the family purse.
He was just over Is.
Have you had time to think
about what you would like to do?" |
asked him.
Yes, sir; | want to get into a
shipping office" was the immediate
response.
"Why?" | asked
Because | like ships, and have
learned as much as | could about
them"
He did not tell me, but | found
that this lad could tell at a glance
as they steamed through the Mar
rows almost every ship entering
New York harbor. He could dis
tinguish the ships Of each line, knew
their regular sailing days, was IA

each company, and was full of en-

much of the sea as of foreign trade.

Immediately, and he promptly began
work in an importing house, where
his knowledge and his ambition can
be turned to good account.
The other lad promised to return,
but failed to keep his word.
Now, which of these youths is
likely to make his mark?
Which are YOU training YOUR
boy to resemble?
Are you taking pains to so direct
the mind of your young hopeful
