St. Paul manifested a wonderful in

and half ago there we're certain Dutch
immigrants, mechanics and small mer-
chants in New York City, which was
then called New Amsterdam.
Has a German Strain.
There were in Eastern Pennsylvania
two German peasant farmers who were
among the founders of Germantown.
having been driven out of the Palati-
nate when II was ravaged by the
armies of Louis XIV, and west Of them
in Pennsylvania lived certain Irish,
Welsh and English immigrants, the
latter being Quskers, and in South
Carolina and Georgia were certain
Scotch and French Huguenot farmers.
These men and women left many
descendants, who intermarried with one
another. Our ancestors originally
came from different countries, pro
fessed different creeds and spoke dif-
ferent tongues. But they became
Americans and nothing else; and as
the generations succeeded one another
they did the ordinary work of Ameri-
can life. They fought in the War Of
the Revolution and again in the War
Of 1912, and they did not inquire
whether the foreign foes whom Wash
ington assailed were Germans. as at
Trenton, or British, as at Princeton, or
French, like those whom ne fought
near Pittsburgh in his youth.
II these old-time Americans had kept
apart from one another and had made
their loyalty a loyalty to the countries
from which they came, and not 10 this
new great Republic. and if their fellow
citizens of that day had done the same
thing, there would not be any United
States now, and there would be no
Americans to feel either pride or shame
in what our people do.
My plea is that all our citizens to-
day shall act in the spirit Of the men
of many different race strains-the
Washingtons, Adamses and Lees, the
Schuylers and Sullivsns, the CAROLS
and Muhlenbergs, the Marions and
Herkimers who disregarded all ques-
tions Of national origin and became
Americans and nothing else when they
founded this country.
IL is not possible permanently 10
possess a divided national allegiance.
II men are not whole hearted in their
Americanism. if they try to combine
loyalty to this land with loyalty to
