SUPPORTING THEIR GOVERNMENT

SUPPORTING THEIR GOVERNMENT
Without doubt a great deal of th'
assurance felt by the German govern
ment in the threatened declaration Of
war between the imperial government
and that of the United States is due tc
the belief in Germany that vast maior
ity of the people of German descent in
the United States would remain loyal to
the kaiser's government and would either
refuse to serve under the Stars and
Stripes or would be useful agents for EN-
barrassing the government in which they
had their abiding place There are many
millions of people of German descent
now residing in the United States; in
deed, they form no inconsiderable pro-
portion of the entire population of the
country. Were they to renounce their
sympathy and allegiance with the gov.
eminent which has given them its protec-
tiop for so many years, they might cause
great uneasiness to the United States
even though they should not commit any
grave offenses against the government.
Happily, however, the earliest NANTES.
tations show no bent of mind in that di-
rection on the part of the German-Amer-
lean people of the United States. As a
matter of fact, the expressed predilee-
tions have been in the line of cordial
support OF the United States government
even after the severing of relations be-
tween the two countries. The German
American National Alliance, for instance,
has through its delegates in convention
assembled in Philadelphia taken formal
action in voting the support Of the great
organization to the Washington govern
ment even to the point of bearing arms
against the nation which gave them birth
or which gave their parents birth. The
German American National Alliance is
reported to represent three millions OF
German people in more than a score of
states Of the country and thus il is one
of the largest, if not the largest, organ
izations having a German membership.
Its action is likely TO disabuse the minds
of any persons in Germany who may
have had the notion that an internal dis
sension would arise in the United States
in the event Of the outbreak Of war be-
tween that country and Germany The
German people or those of German de-
scent in the United States are thus prov
ing their loyalty to the government
which has given them such excellent OPP
portunities. With few exceptions they
are proving themselves as good Amer
leans as the rest OF US.
