MISTOOK CAPTAIN FOR GER

of tho Belgian ship Katanga, yes
terdav, from Corn, Ireland, Captain
Karstedt was found to be suffering
with an injured leg, then in process
of healing, and it was stated that
this injury was sustained when the
captain. suspected Of being a Ger
man. was in custody of the British
naval ship which once stopped his
vesse! and held him until his nation
atty could be established beyond
question.
While the skipper, who had sail
ed tie seas of every globe, was not
talking too much, it was stated that,
while on a voyage a year ago, his
vessel had been intercepted, and a
British squad from naval ship
boarded the Katanga for search.
That squad, it was stated, first
questioned Captain Karstedt as to
his nationality, and when it was sus
pected that he was of German de-
scent. he was shackled, and kept as
a prisoner Of war, but was later re-
leased. 1t was while thus shackled
that the accident occurred, which
caused his leg to be broken.
Some time after that incident,
and while again taking to the sea in
command of the Belgian vessel he is
now in, some new trouble was de-
velopeG with the injured leg, and it
was stated it had to be reset. That
new operation has never healed al
together, and upon arrival yester-
day. additional treatment was
sought.

PASSING OF A NOTED
OLD JOURNALIST

Car dispatches yesterday told of
the death of Colonel Robert T. Van
horn, founder and for fifty years
editor of the Kansas City Journal,
who passed away at the advanced
age OF ninety-one. There are many
newspaper men in active service
through the west who will learn
with regret of the passing of this
venerable and DISTINGUISHED jour
nallst, for he trained them by the
dozen and sent them out to other
fields during his long years of service
in his profession.
The writer of these lines knew
Col Vanhorn we'll, for he went up
from the South and tried his prem
tice hand at journalism on the Col
ones paper so many years ago that
those times seem like dream near
ly faded out, and he warmly es-
teemeu the kindly old man, who
spoke little i'll of any one and looked
on life through the spectacles of
true philosopher. He was an intense
party man, fought fiercely through
his paper and hobnobbed with his
enemies when the fray for the day
was over like the genuine newspaper
Bohemian that he was.
He and John e Moore, editor of
the rival Times. used to almost
sweat blood in coming ferocious
phrases in their incessant warfare
on each other and their parties, but
each sincerely respected the other
and their mutual hatred was strictly

race for the reason that he has had

that he has no chance of cleo

The new Russian offensive, of
which the dispatches have been tell
ing us for several days, may be fully
as offensive as the Car hopes it to
be, but the absence of details after
so many days of fighting leaves
ground for suspicion. If the Russians
were winning, they would be mighty
sure TO let the world know it, and
their silence on the subject seems
ominous. Russia can come across

of he latter can be done all right

FLORIDA FIRST" ADVERTISING
PAYS MIAMI

Miami, Jan. "A flood of inquir-
les poured into the Chamber Of
Commerce office yesterday and the
day before from all parts of the
United States, these letters being
the direct result of Florida First ad
veItising. AS it is only two days
since the inquiries began coming,
Secretary Paddock believes it may
be possible to secure additional
clerical help to take care of the
mail
Al such inquiries are being an
swered promptly by letter, and the
secretary is also mailing out an
enormous amount OF literature, send
ing a complete set of all the Cham
Der has to each person asking for
information.
The majority of the letters ask for
information relative to hotel and
other accommodations, but some
want to know about property, i'm
proved and unimproved These lat
ter are referred to the real estate
men, and also receive a supply of
Miami literature, while the former
are taken in hand by the hotel and
boarding house men.
Basing his belief on the number
of inquiries coming to the Chamber
of Commerce, Secretary Paddock be-
lieves the city will be so filled with
visitors during the coming season
that it will be necessary to open an
information bureau on the ground

patriotism. In fact, there is not on

worl1 case of the head of a nation
publicly melting racial strife in his
own country 1t remain
ed Tor President Wilson, son of an
English woman, to demand in care

other than English descent
To lie the son of an English wom-
an disqualifies an American for any
public service; but to be the son of
a German father and German
woman is to place him above criti-
cism or complaint. Concluding this
argument, the Fatherland says:
There can be no doubt that the
German American vote is the back
bone of the Republican party. No
Democratic candidate can be elected
without the solid South. No Repub-
lican candidate can be elected with
out tic German-Americans and the
Sweies of the Northwest. 1t is con-
cei''able that Mr. Wilson may he
elected in spite of the German
Ameicans; it is conceivable that
any Republican can reach the White
House without the German Ameri-
can vote"
It then goes on to threaten all
Democrats and Republicans with the
statement that the German-Ameri-
can vote will be cast solidly. Il will
not be cast for any candidate who
bears the earmarks of Democratic
or Republican wing of the British
party"
We have, then, in its most often
sive form the mobilization of the
foreign vote in America, under or
ders from Berlin, In this way Prof.
Mucnsterberg hopes to supplant
American culture with German cul-
turC. and the Fatherland, drawing
its sIstenance and support from the
German treasury, through devious
American channels, hopes to reduce
the United States to a German pro-
vince, to conquer it through secret
political methods and make it as alb
iect as Alsace and Lorraine.
We call the attention of the
Americans of America to these
movements, to these conspiracies, to
these secret political schemes of
Muensterberg and Berlin.
The assumption that the German
American vote is essential to the
election of any President is absurd. |
There are other foreign votes in
Anne RIGA besides the German Ameri- |
can vote, and those votes are far
r'orc loyal to American institutions,
American political organizations,
and American industrial life than
are ,lis handful of German rene
gadcs.

Tho German vote never has been

elements of danger revealed during

rcmains, the great mass of the
American voters of German descent
are ,oyal not to the medieval mill

The conditions which Germany at
taches to her permission to let the
Ford peace delegates go through a
part Of Germany on their way to The
Hague would indicate that those
well meaning gentlemen were under
suspicion as thieves, robbers murder
ers, spies, traitors, dynamiters, con
men, kidnappers and card sharpers.
Nothing was lacking in the precau-
tons taken to render them harm
less, except to blindfold them and
handcuff them to the car seats, with
