A Chance for German Americans,

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: During Mr.. Wilson's political tour Of
the Western states he spoke before a noble
body Of German American citizens mote

lowing question: "Will you respond to my
c. to arms in case our country should go
to war;" The solemn and noble answer was,
without a culver. yea
Now that We are AZ war with part OF
Mexico. and the Senate Of the United States
has authorized the President to bring our
army up TO its full strength by issuing call
for 10000 more men, it is Mr.. Wilson's grand
opportunity 10 test the loyalty Of the Ger
man-American by issuing a patriotic call for
an army Of 10000 men to consist Of German
Americans only. and send them into Mexico
70 restore order.
II they fail TO respond. then IL is time for
our lawmakers TO change our naturalization
laws and place ore more race lGermanD on

freedom and citizenship of our country.

Desperately Needs Roosevelt.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There are two questions Of paramount
Importance in the United States to-day:
Shall We adopt a programme Of adequate
military preparedness? and Who will be our
next President? The close relationship ex-
isting between these questions is at once ap-
parent indeed the answer TO the second will
have a great bearing upon the answer TO the
first.

cal and possess vast experience Of men and
world affairs. In short. the man We must
lave for our next President is the man who
can and will restore to this country its honor

countries which more or less openly consider

which, sooner or later. from merely sncerng

Neutrality and the Monroe Doctrine

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The letter from Ex-Lifelong Demo-
crat. published in your issue of March H.,
cxpounds the soundest war doctrine have
yet read in any paper. An alliance with
England and France would save this country
from a tremendous expense in naval and
military armament and give the United
States a footing with two Of the greatest
European nations. without this union the
Monroe Doctrine will sooner or later lead US
into a war over the South American repub-
lies. and We are in no position now. nor
could we be within forty years to stand
alone against any large European power
The day Of individual endeavor is a thing
Of the past the united effort OF great pow
ers is the only thing that counts. We are
now big and cosmopolitan enough TO ask
Great Britain and France for their alliance
The farce OF neutrality has become thread
bare; IL is only deceit, although we are not
fooling any one but ourselves. Why can't

Our Stage Of Many Dialects.

Ever since the days of Charles Fechter.
and long before him, the American stage
has been familiar with many dialects and
accents. Fechter, the son of German
father and an Italian mother, presuma-
bly, born in London and brought up in
France, spoke, when he deserted the French
for the English stage, with Gallo Tilt,
most noticeable, of course, in his Ham
let" Then there was Daniel Bandmann,
now forgotten, though he died only thirty
years ago. lie was the Robert Mantel.
Of his day-he wrote his memoirs, "Ten
Thousand Miles with Shakespeare and
his German accent was wonderful to hear.

But too often when she took care of her

crumpled in failure.
In a tactical sense the battle OF Nerduh

Opposition Which Helps.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: note with interest the position OF
Senator Brown in the matter of the suffrage
amendment. II is my feeling that all good
sufragists should be deeply appreciativc oi
the aid that Mr.. Brown is giving the cause
by his opposition. The no inconsiderable
newspaper copy for which he has been re-
sponsibe by his position Of antagonsm in
committee to this bill has been of the great.
est assistance TO .the women who have been
working on the passage of il at Albany.
While it is in danger of placing Mr. Brown
in that group of mos backs" and molly.
coddles' who stand opposed TO all political
progress, but who cannot hope to continue
forever TO stem the suffrage propaganda, il
is possible that Mr.. Browns constituents are
not all Of that type. and it has occurred to
the writer several times TO wonder whether
Mr.. Brown is vocng the sentiments of his
constituency or his own prejudice in the att-
tudc which he has taken.
On several occasions men have stated 10 me
that they would gladly join an organization
pledged TO vote against any man who would
not support suffrage for women in the Stat.
of New York. | have never felt that this wa
desirable or necessary, but there is remote
chance that there may be some men who feel
as these men | have mentioned do who reside
IN Senator Browns district.
