Bernard H. Ridder, in this mornings

President Wilson's reply to Pope Bens-
dict XIV:
a decent regard for their own well

the Journey be cut as short as possible.
They have expressed their intention OF
making those changes in government
which alone can render a German
promise good in the eyes Of President
Wilson. This is known 20 every one
who has followed events in Germany.
THE Pope made his contribution 70
peace by suggesting II.
The President has added his mite
by defining reasonable terms upon
which it can be had.
THE German people are now to
speak They can have more war, or
they can have peace apparently at
once. The only thing asked OF them
is a thing which they have expressed
their intention of sooner or later
achieving anyway responsible, par
liamentary government To hasten It's
accomplishment would add to the bril-

"HeroId" Pledges Fealty
OF German-Americans;
Moyor Sure Most Are Loyal

The German Herold," after affirm
ing editorislly yesterday morning the
unqualified loyalty OF German-Ameri-
cans and the German-American press
to the United States and branding the
attacks upon them as the unscrupulous
work Of professional agitators, called
Mayor Mitchel's attention to the senti-
ments expressed. The Mayor expressed
his agreement, as follows:
81 am much gratifed TO read the edi-
torial which appears in to-day's Her
old 1t seems to me to state accurate
ly and fairly the position Of the great
majority of our German-American citi-
zens. Personally have never doubted
the loyalty Of the great mass Of citt-
zens Of German birth and German
blood.
But I am confident now, as have
been from the beginning, that the
United States can rely upon the loyalty
of her citizenship, without regard 20
race or origin"
The editorial in IN. "Herold" read,
in part, as follows:
"Disregarding the demonstrated 10y
atty Of the American of German origin
to his adopted nation, the snti-German
agitator is seeking 70 arouse the citi-
zens of this nation against the so-called
German American by means OF false
statements and threats. While his at
titude Is too dangerous TO be scorned,
we feel that the statement that every
American of German origin is an Amer
lean first, last and always win appear
unnecessary 10 the average American
who already realizes the patriotism and
the unfailng loyalty Of that group Of
our population. There is only one ma
ton now for. every American citizen,
and that is the United States"
