plate Il shipped him done such good work
urbefWfen in the North Sea battle, and
wouldn't be surprised n he also sent reso-
lutlons of thanks TO the Brandenburg Cen
trail and Moselle River Railroad for trans
porting soldiers to the western front IN
fact, zapp, the chances Is that when the
war Is over, the Sieoes-Aliee in Berlin would
be filled NIT allegorical figures of adding
machines, gas tanks, baggage cars and
garbage inclnerators, commemorating the
heroic corporations which manufactured
them articles and done so much for the
Fatherland during the late war"
II suppose that the same as We run ex-
cursions from Washington to Mount YER
non. the German Government will be rum
ming excursions from Berlin to Essen,
where in little room on the gath floor OF
the Essen Savings and Trust Building away

first seen the light of day In a modest GER
/tihcate of Incorporation with 100000 cap
ital stock, divided into 500 shares common
stock and 500 shares preferred of the par
value of $500 EACH" Zapp said, "and as
nearly as possible the room will be restored
TO its original appearance NIT gen.wine
antique steel filing cabinet In one corner
and a reproduction of the antique No. 10
typewriter on which the certificate was run
off"
"The Germans is very sentimental peo-
ple," BirslSy said, when not busy other
wise"
well, say" Zapp retorted, putting
tablets on historical buildings is one way
to make people patriotic. You've got to
admit that even II you would only got out
your first papers, BrslSy, It gives you al
ready feeling that you are patriotic whom
you look at the bridge in Concord, Mass,
where our soldiers fought the English,
amt it7 And Mount Vernon, also, Birsky.
Am right or wrong9 Because that's what
patriotism Is, Birsky. It's loving country
on account of being proud of It's history, or
because you got recollection of how happy
you was there when boy, or because your
ancestors was veterans OF Its wars SO
you could imagine how patriotic people
will be hundred years from now, BirslSy.
Our grandchildren will gather their little
boys around 'em and tell them how during
the war with Sweden, their grandfather run
turning lathe In the factory of that great
soldier hero the International Projectile
and Torpedo Company of New Jersey, and
the little fellers' cheeks will flush and they
will shout that when they grow UP, perhaps
there will be another war; and they will be
able to work at lathe like great-grand-
father, and the parents will grow pale and
say: 'Gott soil huten,' on account of re-
membering how the old grandfather
smashed his thumb working a lathe during
the war with Sweden"
ALSO twenty years from now, Zapp, the
young German will love his country when
he thinks how happy he used to was twenty
years ago to get once a week from his
mother a ticket emitting him to Az ounces
of bread and one potato of the cubic ca.
pacity of 3.1416 inches," Brsky said.
"On the other hand, don't forget the
young American twenty years from now
who will take his rifle In hand with the
picture in his mind of the parlor in his old
home, where was gathered together in the
mellow lamplight, his father and mother,
his brother just home from college, two
lawyers and a certified public accountant,

"Aber who is the young feller with the
