The German-American National Al liance has just concluded it's national gab-fest in the City of Chicago. Of course, the members of this Deutsch- Americanischen National Bund couldn't go home after they were through talking without doing some resoluting too For all of which we don't blame them. The natural pro- duct of a convention si resolutions, just as the upshot of game of ball is runs; of poker, chips and of thresh- ing, wheat.
 The resolutions of the bund were characterized by a plaintiff vail.
 They were directed to Hon. Wood row Wilson, President of the United States.
 They complain that German-Amer- jeans are being attacked because of their nationality in this here coun try and they ask the president to pro tect them.
 This is a deliberate misstatement of the facts in the case.
 A man asked us the other day whether we thought it was a disgrace to be a German.
 Our prompt reply was no, emphati cally no, and no again, and hhou sand times over again, no no, no, not by a damn sight.
 What is a disgrace, is for a man oi German origin, or of any other nation ality, to live in the United States, tc be a voting citizen of the United States, to enjoy the benefits of free institutions in the United States, fol such a man to be unfaithful to the United States, for him to be a kaiser booster, and a knocker, a traitor, 8 copperhead, sneak, an ingrate and a dirty cur against the United States in the hour of war an dtrouble.
 Some so-called hyphenated Ger mans have asked to be exempt from fighting against Germany because oi the fact that they were of German birth or descent
 During our Revolutionary War England was the enemy, George the Third instead of Wilhelm of Hohen zollern. The great majority of the colonists, including George Washing ton and all of his generals, except Von Steuben and Lafayette, were O. English birth or descent. So were Tom Payne, Sam Adams, Ben Franz lin, John Hancock, and thousands more like them.
 Suppose these patriots would havt flunked and swapped the stars an stripes, in the revolutions darkes hour, for a foreign flag, when the sun quit shining over Valley Forg and the bony spectre of death cou be seen stalking continuously in th pale moonlight, from one end Of tho twenty-four hours to the other.
 They fought England to a finish, to victory and peace, from the awful gloom of Valley Forge to Yorktown's cloudless day.
 They gave our flag to the sky.
 Nobody attacks American Germans in this country who are olyal to the colors.
 Nobody dare attack them.
 They are a real and integral part of this country

 On December 1, the new stamp taxes, including those on parcel post packages, will be payable, putting the entire law into complete operation except for increased rates on second class mail, postponed until July l next
 Increases in first class mail rates probably will be most generally felt by the people. The law provides that the postage on letters, except drop or local letters, shall be cents; and that on postcards, including private mailing cards, shall be one cent more than heretofore This increase in cludes so called picture postcards The advances were made effective 3C days after the passage of the law, and are construed by the postoffice de partment to begin with letters and postcards postmarked Nov. 2.
 The increases also have been ex tended by departmental order to first class mail to many foreign countries which, under postal conventions, have enjoyed the domestic rates. The new Scent rate, therefore, will apply tC letters to Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Pan anna, England, Ireland, Scotland Wales, hte Bahamas, Barbadoes British Guinea, British Honduras, San to Domingo, Dutch West Indies, Lee ward Islands, Newfoundland and New Zealand The postcard increase will extend to Canada, Cuba, Mexico and Panama, the only countries which

THE WAR GERMANY

or all peoples. except the Bc.giaus and the inhabitants of Northern France. the people of Germany are hardest hit by tao war Conditions in some sections of Russia, Poland, Serbia and Armenia may be consld- cred as modification of this statement. but considereing, as a whole. any 0i the great nations now at war; the statement holds good.
 Consul Roth, formerly stationed at Plauen, furnishes ample and indus putable evidence of che widespread misery, degradation and indusria. Reorganization that will not be re- paired in years. even under most fa- vorable conditions. And from the same authority we learn that as be- tween the Pussiau government which rules Germany with a rod of iron, and the people who submit to that rule all is not beer and ssittlcs There are hunger and degrading con- ditions and disconten, fast veving to hopelessness. There is, in fact. al. the bitter fruit of war, save the dc- vastation by the shock of arms. and the occupation of the country by a hostile army.

ONE EFFECT OF WAR TAX

We entered this month on the war tax period Let us hope 1t vii, not develop into a war tax era This new war tax is laid upon every one of us, even Co the hermit and rcc.use, for even they must have things on which a war tax has been placed We shall feel the war tax bear down indirectly more heavily than iy does directly. but the daily reminder with every letter we send aud every place OF amusement we attend vii. make us more beenly alive to the fact that we are living in war times. While we are waiting for the "big news" there will not be a day when the war tax does not force itself on our attention. It will be an omniprcseu- and sleep less messenger telling usthat the only possible way to get rid of the war tax is to win the war; and the only way to win the war is to keep on with the mobilization of all our resources and all our energies. The war tax will serve as a constant. powerful stimu.ant Co do our best

SENATE PASSES BILL FORBID DING SALE OF LIQUOR TO
 SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.


 WASHINGTON, D, C., Apr. 28.- The prohibitionists took fresh heart today when the senate passed a bill putting all men in the military or naval service. whether officers or enlisted men, on the water wagon. By a vote of 5 to 30 the upper house passed a measure making it q crime to either give or sell intoXi- eating liquor to any man in uni. from, or who is known to be in the service Of either the military or naval arm of the government.
 The opponents of the measure claimed that it was no more impor- tant to prevent the use ot intoXi- cants by those actually engaged in fighting than it was to prohibit it's use by those who must furnish them with supplies with which to fight. The plea fell on deaf ears, however. and the measure was overwhelmingly passed The prohibitionists claim that it will also receive big ma jority in the house.
