GERMAN BORN, HE'S FOR U. S.
Seattle Starr

Seattle Starr
 There lives in Rock Island, H., American whc was born in Germany but, having been naturalized considers himself loyal citizen of the United States Tis name is M Stephany and he formerly lived in Berlin In letter to the Chicago Tribune he gives the following his Berlin address, Formerly Berlin G. Breite Str S. Reelection der Vossichen zei tung."
 Chicago being part of Germany many socalled German Americans write more less reasonable let the Tribune by a certain G. F. Hummel, who sneered America, said the German citizens of America are a part of the German people and euogized the crown prince Whereupon Mir. Stephany penned the follow ing letter to the Tribune:
 The letter of G. F. Hummel cannot pass unchallenged. We who born in Germany and now citizens of the United States are not, he says, still part of them (the Ger man peoples). And thank God for that. Neith- German Americans, for there aint no such animal" Either he is an American or German Take your choice. The term "German-American" is today closely related to treason that it is well to fight any or all those who designate themselves by that hated apeatiOn.
 He speaks of the Germans admiration for the prince. Again there an't such thing" 1 tell him from recent and per sonal observation that the people in Germany hate this fellow with the intensity with with which they deify the Emperor. He is, beyond question, the best hated minus his thin of kultur.
 Concerning the German press he is also wrong At the outbreak of the I sub- scribed a German paper, Die Westliche Post, assuming that thus I would get real war news, Alas I had to stop the damn able treason sheet within less than six months. No such paper can come into my house where am raising my American children, whom I want to teach love for the United States and execration for that land of barbarians in which their father is ashamed to confess that he first saw the light of day.
 There is no room here for a German pa per Hummels apology for it is not based on sound reason nor it is consonant with facts when he speaks of their truthfulness. There is about much truth to be found in German newspaper matter where pub lished, in German diplomat German Government official German schools, Ger churches German newspapers belong to Germany not here
 If anyone has any doubt the real character of the German people, let him go Berlin and study the Berlner polizei. A Der liner schutzmann is the expose of real Ger minus his thin of kultur.
 Let hope that before long govern ment will stop dillydalying with these called German Americans and put them into concentration camps until the end of the war. which end would be materially hastened by such action, especially if coupled with the entire suppression of the German American press.

MORE POTATOES AND CHEAPER.

Michigan farmers reported to be selling their potatoes for September and October delivery at 30 cents a bushel-onehaf cent pound. While this used to be regarded profitable price for tubers it is marked change from the $4 bushel quotations of few weeks ago, and is indicative of great yield from the vast acreage that devoted to potatoes this year. While the figures quoted thus far would not indicate cheap potatoes on the Coast the quotations from Detroit, is estimated that there will be from 25OO0O00 to 30000O0o bushels of potatoes the Coast this year than there were
 last year. If these estimates correct there will probably be cheaper potatoes later in the if spectators do not get control of the situation too quickly. and the government to be preparing to prevent that.
 This situation indicates two things-reief to con sumers and wheat next year. Potatoes consti- tute of the food necessities of the people. and many millions of people will welcome lower cost for them And potato fields are always favorite place in which to plant winter wheat While the great potato yield of the country is in due to the town planting. it is largely caused by the greater acreage devoted to potato raising by the farmers. With 30cent potatoes and $2 wheat the temptation to the farmer to plant wheat this fall in the fields that planted to potatoes this year will be ire

He has made pa triotic speeches on the battle field at Gettysburg and at Washington's tomb at Mount Vernon and is now making trips to different parts of the country for the purpose of obtaining re- cruits for the new National Army.
