Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-THE
measles epidemic in the camps of the
30th, 31st, 38th and 39th divisions
of the national guard troops no long
err constitutes a menace, according to
the report for the week ending De-
cember Z, and made public today by
Surgeon General Gorgas. The cpl
demic has spread somewhat in the
saith and 35th divisions and to a
greater extent in the seth. Pneu-

hands of the United States district
attorney for prosecution"
When the fuel administration of
the government issued its rules for
the coal business on October /, 1917,
1t provided that the retail profit to
local dealers should be figured upon
the basis Of the prices they charged
in 1915. The government figured
that the dealers at that time were
not under control, the fuel situation
was normal and they were operating
under a profit which each had fixed
as satisfactory to himself.
Therefore, it was ordered that this
year the retailers could charge the
same profit plus 80 per cent, which
addition was counted upon to cover
the increased cost of doing business
between the present and the pre-war
period.
Most of the excess profits have
been taken upon soft coal.

GERMAN.AMERICAN
ONE OF THE REAL OLD STOCK
is LOYAL TO THE UNITED
STATES.

Mr.. G.. Kramer, county commits
sioner of LaMoure county, North Da-
kota at a patriotic meeting at Grand
Rapids, in that state, expressed the
following in regard to his fellow cit
liens of German descent, Mr.. Kramer
himself being a native OF Germany
who served In the German army be-
fore coming to this country. At a
patriotic meeting he said:
81 pity the German-American who
is not loyal to Uncle SAM" said Mr..
Kramer. HE does not realize that
he has a good thing. Americans
often complain of high taxes. Even
before the war, Germans paid three
times as much taxes as we. They had
to economic to pay those taxes, and
their wonderful economic system
helped to prevent waste. Govern
ment ownership helped, and made
money for the government, but 1t all
was used to maintain the costly war
machines.
Napoleon, who dreamed OF world
conquest, met his Waterloo at the
hands of Butcher and Wellington,
and now, in this modern day, the
kaiser, who would be a second Alex
ander, is destined to meet his Wa
terloo at the hands of the United
States
There must be something wrong
with the German government. or Is
other nations would not be arrayed
against her: there must be some
thing wrong with Germany's system
or President Wilson would not have
said that we have no quarrel with
the German people, The social DEM
ocrats are the strongest political
party in Germany and 1t is signifi-
cant that they are against monarchy
and are preaching socialism"
Mr.. Kramer traced the gradual
Prussianization OF the old, loosely
federated German principalities,
kingdoms and smaller governments.
Although many wished to become
small republics, the Prussian armies
terrorized the inhabitants with their
troops, filled their offices and eco
nomic positions with Prussians and
forced them into the ironbound Ger
man co~nfederacy, cemented finally
by the dominant Bismarck.

of the German dukes. They had
their great estates in which their ten
ants were as chattels. They had
their hobbies in raising regiments of
tall or snubnosed soldiers. and the
peasants selected were as pawns.
Mr.. Kramer's father was exiled to
lily at the time the southern Ger
mans were struggling for independ-
ence. The name Prussian began then
to take on a fearsome significance.
'sThe German people have been de-
ceived and misled by their leaders,
Mr.. Kramer said. They have been
dazzled with visions of military
glory; they have been led to believe
that as a people they are surrounded
by their enemies; they were told that
in 90 days the submarine would bring
England to her knees and that Uncle
Sam would not enter war. The kali
ser has said that God was with them
In the drive on Italy.
''It is not easy to renounce allie
glance to the native fatherland, the
land of your birth, the land of your
kinsmen," continued Mr.. Kramer
