menu Of ravenous tigers, panthers
and carrion kites"
Says the "Westliche Post" of st.
Louis:
'Frenchmen must persevere,' de-
mands Lloyd George. The gentleman
demands always that others do some
thing"
Italy Is Called a Robber
"She Italy) has no ideal claims"
reads another editorial notice in the
same paper, "but is committing rob-
berry. II this purpose could be attained
without war she would leave in the
lurch other nations at present fighting
on her side, without consideration"
The New Yorker Staats-Zeitung,"
which published numerous peace arti-
cles. goes further than the "Westliche
Post by alleging that Greeks are or
gaining TO make common cause with
the Kaiser by fighting the Allies:
THE vast number of Greeks who,
on account of the political situation
fee from their country 70 Switzer-
land and protest earnestly against
the conduct of the Entente in the
Balkans, continues to increase. Uni
yersally it is stated that the Greek
ny of the Allies to the greatest ex-
tent, and that everywhere franc
tireurs are being organized, who re
sist successfully the English, French
and Italian troops"
The "Brooklyner Freie Presse" gives
the key 10 the sentiments of the Greeks
by asserting that the Allied contingents
which were quartered in parts Of
Greece consisted of looters. Says the
"Freie Presse':
"The Allies evacuate the occupied
Greek territory in great haste. Prob
ably they have so very well plundered
that there is not much more to re-
move"
Last Sunday the Good Government
League of Queens held its first public
function at the Astoria Schuetzen Park.
The credit to have initiated the league
is claimed by the "StaatsZeitung' Of
the Herren Ridder The purpose of the
league, as officially pointed out, has
nothing to do with Teutonism; but at
that the league is a German organiza-
ton. and whoever had a chance to at
tend their picnic last Sunday and to lis
ten TO private conversations knows that
the pro-Kaiser spirit dominates the IN
dividual members, and that their work
ing together can have but one effect:
To strengthen the so-called German
American movement, even if the in
dividual members are not aware OF this
fact.
In Philadelphia attempts are being
made to establish again German thea
ire. The project is favored by the
philadelphia Gazette" because "a So
cial centre of the Germans in Philadel-
phia, such as a German theatre, would
be beneficial for US and do more strong
Is to hold US together than all socle-
ties and clubs"
A German gymnastic society has
been recently organized in st. Louis:
The "Waechter und Anzeiger," OF
Cleveland. and the "Abendpost," of Chi
cago, devote editorials to the war prop
lens of the German societies. Inc
"Abendpost" says that the German or
CARNATIONS must take in account the
changed conditions, but not cease to De
German. The paper continues:
"The German-Amerlcan societies must
become American German societies.
They must consider American AFFAIRS
from a German standpoint, but with
out being influenced regarding their
Judgment by the noise of the Anglo
mile press. The German press
Is vitality interested that not only Amer
icanism is emphasized, but also the
German character Of the declarations Is
preserved"
The preservation of the German char
acter-that's the real thing the German
press is interested in; the American
side of the whole question is the side
show designed to deceive the non-Ger-
man public.
