land of my adoption. 1 did so without
the least misgivings as to the wisdom
of my decision to give up all national
ties with the country of my birth, there.
by unalterably casting my lot with the
greatest nation in the world, the United
States. (Applause.) Never to this day
have 1 wavered in my conception of
duty to the country of my adoption.
Never have L allowed myself to be in
flueneed by any other motive than tn I
involving loyalty to the United States.

To-day l speak in the presence of re-
presentatives of every section of the re-
public. seek with honest intent and
purpose to express my humble eonvic-
tions of the duties of all those claiming
citizenship under the flag of all flags.

German American Leader
Says Hughes Not Sincere

Dubuque, Iowa Oct. 2l.-A profound
sensation has been created here, the
home of large German American po-
pulation, by the publication of a state.
ment by prominent citizen of German
birth in which he points out with great
clearness and force how the republican
party, i'll its attempt to defeat Presi-
dent Wilson, is boldly using the Ger
man-Americans as catspaw.
The author of this statement is Rev
w. Helneke, who for years was pastor
of st. John s Lutheran church i'm this
city and who now is in business in New
York city. Rev. Mr.. Heinelle while a
resident of Dubuque was chairman OF
the German press committee of the Ger
man Embargo conference, as well as OF
the German Red Cross of Dubuque. He
was recognized here as leader of Ger
man thought and for long time was
severely critical of President Wilson.
/ ConIesses He Misjudged Wilson.
"Now," he says, 81 for one am not
ashamed to confess that L have mis-
judged the president"

ers in the North of England. Other
chairs are being established for the
teaching Of Spanish. This is part of
the plan by which systematic prepa.
ration is being made to capture the
markets of Russia and South Ameri-
ca, now that the war cuts off German
and an after-war policy is being de-
yelOped to further restrict German
trade.
When Prince Won Buelow, the Ger
man imperial chancellor, framed the
German tariff law of 1902, he followed
! it with a commercial arrangement
with Count Witte OF Russia which had
much to do with the widespread entry
OF German goods in Russia. At the
same time British trade in Russia fell
Off, and later the commercial treaty
OF the United States with Russia was
broken off in connection with racial
differences. The war has much changed
these conditions; Germany's CONNER
cial agreement is at an end and her
trade is stopped; Russia is hemmed in |
on land and al her ports of exit |
through the Dardanelles and the ice
ports of the North; and Britain looks !
upon Russia as almost a virgin field |
for new and extensive trade develop
ment That is why these chairs of
Russian are being extensively estab-
lished, to train men in Russian to
pioneer this new field. The school in
the north now has forty students stud
ying Russian and commercial devel-
opment.
AS to South American trade, it is
felt here that much of il will naturally
be taken by the United States, with
the Panama Canal contributing to that
advantage But the war has also cut
off Germany's share of South Ameri.
can trade. That is the reason for es-
abishing the chairs of Spanish. and |

Changes in European Cabinets.

Important changes have been ANNOUNCED in
two of the great European cabinets, and it is
limited that others impend. In times of peace
these might portcnd such notifications of policy
as would be momentous, but under the circum-
stances the substitution Of one for another cab
met minister Is not likely to have any pro-
nounced effect on the general course of the
government concerned. In the case of the retire
ment of Won Jagow from the position Of foreign
minister for Germany, it is certain no alteration
in policy will follow. DR.. Zimmerman, who sue
ceeds, has long been Won Jagow's second and
is thoroughly committed to the general purpose
OF the empire in its external relations Person
ally, he is Junker, but his official position has
forced him away from his predictions in this
direction. II may be he will find his new place
more difficult to maintain without greater revision
Of his personal views. Won Jagow's friendship
Berlin that will not be easily disturbed.
In Russia the retirement Of Premier Sturmer
and the elevation Of Alexander TrepoH to that
position Of control in the cars government may
be hailed as another gain for the liberal element
Of Russian politics. At any rate, Sturmer has
been close adviser of the bureaucrats while
Trepoff is listed as Of the liberal leaders Of
the empire. Problems Of the war are closely CON
cerned here, for the Russian cabinet controls
indirectly the military activity Of the nation.
In England demand has been voiced for the
retirement Of Premier Asquith, that younger
and more energetic man may come to the head Of
the cabinet. These political switches, il they
have any significance, may be taken as signs of
discomfort among the people over the progress
Of the war, but do not presage any sweeping
alterations in its course
