Geman-Americans Loyal As in
Every Crisis Of the Nation in Past

The heart of citizens Of German stock is
entirely sound. 1t requires only proper presentation
of matters and a firm stand to induce all of them to
fall in line. They are Americans frst-with but
unmporant exceptions.
The assurances of friendship expressed by the
president for the German people, his high hopes for
democracy, embodied the aspirations of millions Of
people Of German stock, and these millions believe
that the present struggle will bring government by the
people and for the people to nearly the entire world

United States VIII Urge Agreement
on Treatment of Prisoners of
War in Two Nations.

The United States has opened ne

agreement to govern prisoners of

EVIL PRAYER CHAIN
CURSE STARTS AGAIN
NINE DAY COMBINATION APP
PEALS DENOUNCED BY CLER-
GYMEN NATION WIDE.

Once again that pernicious pray
err chain letter has popped up its
head. Nearly everybody remembers
this plague, which has REQUIRED sew
eral times within the last decade.
The basic idea is that some per
son-probably weak minded or IA
natic-at some time sent to one ac-
quaintance a day for nine successive
days a copy of simple prayer, with
request that each recipient do the
same and a promise" that on the
ninth day each recipient would have
a great JOY"
In its present reincarnation, this
chain letter which has been denounc-
ed by all the leading clergymen of
the country, wears a new suit OF
clothes, That the garments do not
mt well is evidenced by the letter it.
self, which reads as follows.
Red Gross Chain.
An ancient prayer-"O Lord, i'm
plore thee to bless all mankind and
bring victory to our allies" This
prayer was started in Russia to be
sent around the world. Please COPY
and send it to some friend each day,
and on the ninth (9) day you will
have great JOY. 1t was said in an
cient days that all those who read it
would be free from misfortune and
those who passed it by would have
calamities. Do not forget when your
nine days are up. And do not break
the chain.-Red Cross Chain.
Of course, it is absurd to think of
the ancients having prayed "Red
Cross prayer so intimately connect
ed with an event which did not take
place until August, 1914.
But it is still more absurd for ed
ucated and intelligent people to pass
on such piff1e as this-that merely by
copying and sending out any prayer
for nine days any reward can be OBJ
tanned; that all who read such a
prayer will be free from misfortune
ana that those who pass it by will
have calamities!
Its most danger aspect, however,
has to do win rs belittling of the
great matter of PRAYER.
No one who has incerely PRAYED
can doubt the power of prayer. By
the same sign, nc one who has thus
prayed is apt t. reduce prayer to the
commercial .asis IF making it plea
lor ma rial things.
George Meredith truly S, VS.: "Pray-
er for worluly goods is worse than
fruitless, but pra. ~ f. strength of
soul is that passion of the soul
which catches the gift it seeks"
The world is working its way out
of superstition at fine and encour-
aging pace. Let us who are leading
the procession decline to put in its
path any such obstacles as these rid
iculous chain prayers.
