GERMANY'S AMERICAN
VI SPOKESMAN

In George Sylvester Viereck, poet,
and father and editor Of The Father
land, the Kaiser has perhaps his
ablest defender on this side of the
Atlantic Mr. viereck himself would
probably be the last to deny it, for he
has never Hidden his light under a.
bushel, and has always freely adj
mitted his great literary ability. 1t
will be 2 years tomorrow since Mr..
Viereck made his mundane debut in
Munich. Coming to America at the
age of IL, he was educated at the
College of the City Of New York. 1t
was soon after his graduation de-
cade ago that he published two vol
umes written in his student days
"a Game at Love, and Other Plays"
and "America-a Litany of Ma
Nations These were followed by
.'Ninevah, and Other Poems" ''The
House of the Vampire" and "Con-
LESSONS of a Barbarian" the latter
suggestive title. He was connected
with Current Literature and other
periodicals, and at the outbreak of
the war founded The Fatherland, a
journal which has since been the
stalwart defender of Germany and
everything German, including its
monarch and monarchial government.
Last year the New York World pub
lished documents tending to show that
Mr.. Viereck's Journalistic venture
had received financial aid from the
German government through DR..
Heinrich F. Albert, financial agent of
the German cause in the United
States, but this was denied by the
poet. 7s
Mr.. Viereck has written little
poetry of late. IF I Lived in
Europe he wrote in the preface to
one Of his Volumns IT might still
go on. But realize that I am too
far ahead Of the pageant of American
life to go one step further. Seated
by the roadside, i shall wait for
America to catch up, dividing my
time, perchance, between love and
the ticker Mr.. Viereck says Of him
self, as a poet, that he has inherited
''the technique Of Poe and the social
conscience Of Whitman" and has
added 'the new note of passion"

one term; and was reelected
without opposition to the second
term, which of itself is sufficient
to testify to the satisfaction and
high esteem in which his people
at home, hold him. Judge Samp-
son has been fair and aggressive
in his effects to bring about clean
elections in Knox County and his
District, and by and with the eff
ficient help of the Commonwealth
Attorney, eliminated from cleo
tons, both the primaries and
general elections, the use of mon
ey and whiskey, and has brought
about such a condition that the
crowds assembled about the polls
are as quiet and orderly as they
would be in attendance upon a
Sunday School picnic, or even
about church and grounds
where people might assemble to
worship"
Sheriff Sam l.. Lewis also made
a strong speech in which he said:
Judge Sampson has done more
for our County in the past few
years, while he has been our
Judge, to put down crime and
misdemeanors than any Judge
we have ever had. He has prac-
tically put the 'bootleggers' and
pistol toters' out of business in
our County. The people are for
him for whatever he asks, and
he is a winner.

of the o'den times when Jephro

They put up the first toll gate that

fact and the Ephremites not being
