GERMAN ALLIANCE
BANS POLITICS
Resolution Urges Mem
bers to Act According
to Own Faith.

Buffalo. July 3. The state CON
vention Of the German-American ALI
ance closed here to-day with the re-
election Of officers and adoption OF
resolutions which set forth that the
alliance was not to be allowed TO be-
come the instrument Of politicians, but
that each member should follow his
own political faith
Another resolution adopted by the
alliance stated that In the Mexican
crisis the members Of the alliance
placed their property and lives at the
service Of the state and nation. This
resolution, which. with the other, was
telegraphed TO President Wilson and
Governor Whitman. said:
"In consideration of the impending
crisis arising out Of difficulties at our
Mexican border be it resolved that the
German-American alliance of the State
Of New York places itself fully and
unreservedly at the service OF the
state and nation and pledges the prop
erty and lives of its members 70 the
support Of our government, 10 whose
continued glorious development as a
free and independent nation we shall
ever devote ourselves"
Reaffirm Faith in Nation.
The resolution reaffirmed the alli-
ance's faith and hope IN our country
and its free institutions" and ex-
pressed the hope that "all efforts 20
question the loyalty Of any part or
section Of our citizenship by men or
parties who seek to profit by the seeds
of internal dscord will meet with
failure"
Principles Of the organization, the
resolution declared, include repeal Of
sumptuary laws unnecessarily restrict
ing our personal liberty and more
active participation Of German speak
ing citizens and societies in public
affairs, political and otherwise
The guiding motive in all this
work." the resolution said. "is our
earnest solicitude for Americas well
fare"
The alliance declared for prepared
ness.
I'VE have stood for the preservation
OF our countrys peace" the resolution
declared, "as against the efforts Of
those who. because Of their sympathies
with certain foreign powers. sought 70
involve US in war. We bespeak truly
American policy along these lines and
the intelligent cooperation Of all citi-
/ EMS. regardless Of stock or descent, for
its consummatiOn.
Brand Attacks Unjust.
"The attacks upon naturalized citi-
zens are unjust and hurtful to the com
mon veal. Their Americanism is the
richer because of their love of the
good and great in their ancestry and
their appreciation of the defects OF Eu-
ropean civilization, which they willing
~ discard 20 embrace the new spirit
and the aspirations composing America.
"We urge upon our members the ear
nest propagation of these principles,
and that they be guide to their indi
vidual action regardless OF party"
The officers reelected are Henry
Weisman. Brooklyn. president: Dir
Gustav A. Hitzel, Bugslo; Johns Diehl
Schenectady; Herman Koch, New York;
William +. Otto. Rochester, and Jacob
Hessler, Herkimer. presidents;

Col. Rooseyelt's Only Course.

Force, strategy, intimidation, every art OF po-
litical warfare, have been called into action by
Col Roosevelt and his Progressivcs in their
attempt to secure his nomination by the Rcpub-
can national convention. They have left moth
ing untried, and they have tried hard. No one
will blame them for their methods or their per
sistency; but apparently the jig is up and the
time is at hand for a graceful surrender, which
is not difficult.
In spite OF all the acclaim 1T Chicago Col.
Roosevelt has reason to believe honestly that
he is the choice OF majority OF the delegates.
The convention, in harmony with the unpre-
ccdented demand OF the Republicans of the ma
ton, is almost solidly in favor OF the nonrina-
ton OF another sterling American Justice
Hughes will bear the party standard as the re-
the delegates. They prefer him to COL Roose-
welt.
To believe that COL Roosevelt will place any
obstacle in the way of Justice Hughes triumph
over President Wilson, who COL Roosevelt has
told the country a hundred times is destroying
it, is to insult his integrity and his intelligence
alike. He sought the nomination at the hands
of the Republican convention, but it will go to d
man who has not even signihed his willingness to
accept it. Col Roosevelt as a defeated candidate
before the Republican convention, has no right
and no excuse to place himself at the head oil
the ticket OF another party, thus to aid in what
according to his solcmny proclaimed belief is
the nations destruction.
Under the circumstances it is only logical tc
assume that if the Colonel finds himself unable
TO prevent the Progressives from nominating him
he will at least all Of his efforts to prevent
the taking of votes from the man chosen by that
party to which the Colonel profcssed allegiance
when he asked again for its preference.

A Warning from the North Sea.

As the smoke Of the great sea fight hits
further, it is seen that the British not so
much caught mapping as at first expected On
the contrary they were overalert and ad-
yenturous apparently. The admiral in command
of the English battle cruiser squadron saw the
German high fleet out for promenade OH
the coast of Denmark and went for it Prone,
like most British sailormen to despse every
body's sea power except his own, and much
like that Russian commander who, Catherine IL
said, did not stop to count his enemies, the
Turks, but only asked where they were, Admiral
Beatty with an inferior force attacked the entire
German high seas fleet and got all the fight he
WAS looking for He obliged to signal tor
help and would probably have been wiped out
rad not Admiral Jellicoe and his battleships ar
rived in time to save him.
Let it be supposed for minute that Admiral
Jellicoe had not been able to save the day, as he
may not be another time, and the German
grand fleet had destroyed the British grand
fleet and got control OF the scas-not an I'M
possible event-what might happen then? With
German cruisers ploughing the Atlantic in all dl-
ircctions the United States would have to say
,good-by to its commerce with other countries,
both neutral and belligerents. The shipment OF
Ibreadstuffs and munitions going forward in
great volume would come to an end Past per
Iformances OF the Prussians land and sea give
no assurance OF safety to any cargo or the ship
itself; and insurance rates would become pro-
hibtive. All trade with other countries than
Germany would have to stop. The best that
could be hoped for would be Germany taking
our foodStuffs-shc does not need munitions
and paying for them on her own terms. 1T Is
quite probable, too, that if enough freight ships
were not at hand for her use she would ask that
the German liners interned for the war in
our ports, should be released which being refused
as a violation OF international law negotiations
would be in order; and what is scrap OF paper
among Hohcnzocrnso
Under such conditions it is quite easy OF
understanding that friendly relations might be
many. Then, with the increased naval power
obtained by the defeat Of the British grand
fleet the Prussians would feel themselves in a
position to try conclusions with our own naval
strength. And if they should be as successful
with with the English might have to
say good-by to many billions of dollars to save
our coasts from the ravages Of the enemy From
the present outlook, however, this danger is
remote. The German navy is quite as much
bottled up ever, after what was really its
defeat with heavy loss. But what may not hap
pen in the future? At least there is sufficient
risk to warrant this nation in taking no chances
and to betake itself with all dispatch to the
building of the heaviest battleships and making
general preparations for its defense.

International Finances.

1t has always been supposed that, If the situ-
alton required such action, the British govern
ment would resort to taxation means OF
compelling British investors TO dispose of their
holdings OF American securities. and this step
had now been taken. Notice las been given
that a special tax of two shiIhHCs to the pound
sterling will be levied upon all income from
foreign securities which the government has Of
fercd to purchase, which amounts to an extra
action that the offerings to the government
which came first from corporations and other
large holders, have falcu of OF late. and that

ton OF gold in British territory is about $2o,-
100000 per month, aud this also is available

true OF the Bank Of France also.
The British government has modified the
terms of its offer to borrow American securities,
