A Mistaken viewpoint
Now they behold the great Father
land, as they think, beset on all sides
and fighting with a desperation and
loyalty that is superb from the sub
jects' point of view, and they read its
government in terms of our govern
ment, forgetting it's hateful aspects
and naturally favoring the Father
land. This is not unnatural, and 1t
is our duty and privilege. while con-
demning the German state, to sympa-
thize with our German fellow-citizens
and show them if possible that it is
not the Germans but their peirarchy,
which is a belated product of out
worn ideas, which we are opposing.
Remember that the German citi-
zen can point with more than ordi-
nary pride to a mighty roll of emf
nent names in science, religion,
poetry, art and theology; Luther and
Gothic, and Mozart, and Wagner, and
Schleimacker, and Schiller, and Bee

NO CONSCRIPTION
 IF MONEY IN BANK

H. B. Mock. special agent in charge of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice for this district. gave ou the following statement from Tucson. which the department of jus tice has authorized The statement furnished by MT. Mocls,is as follows.
 Considerable apprehension seems to exist, according to inquiries received by the department of justice, concern ing the status of moneys on deposit in banks in this country. due to current rumors to the effect that such moneys belonging to citizens of this country, or to citizens or subjects of Germany are liable to seizure or conscription by the federal government.
 In order to allay such apprehension the department states that no moneys on deposit in banks or otherwise. whether belonging to American citi- zens, to citizens or subjects of Ger many, or to citizens or subjects of any other country, will be either seized or conscripted by the federal government. and any rumors or suggestions to that effect are utterly without foundation. and are made either in ignorance of the facts, or by some enemy of the country, and should be frowned on by all good people.
 "A Mitchell Palmer. alien property custodian. has issued the following statement:
 '' Some misapprehension seems to exist relative to the status. under the trading with the e-enemy act. of citi- Zens or subjects of Germany and it's allies, resident within this country. Such persons are not included within the terms enemy or ally of enemy as employed in the act. The moneys on deposit in banks in this country be- longing to such persons are not liable to seizure by the government and will not, therefore be taken into the pos session of the alien property cus- todian
