South America, With 7,276,0O0 Square
Miles of Territory, Has Only
100000 Inhabitants.

South America is thinly populated.
The Spanish and Portuguese govern
ments, which divided South America
between themselves in 1894, made lit
tie effort to attract immigration OK
their own people and denied admission
to peoples of other lands. The LANDS
were administered as crown colonies.
Large land grants were made to court

1t was only after the Latin repub-
lies had thrown off the rule of Spain
and Portugal that South America
threw open her doors to the immlgra-
ton of the world. But revolutions ana
epidemics decimated the populations,
and the continuance of the great LAND
holdings, which were just being brok-
en- I'D prevented the close setting OF
the country, so that even now South
America, with an area of 7,2s6,OOU
square miles as against North Amer
ica's 3,55999, has a population OF
only about 50,000,00O.
Yet she has millions of acres OF SOIL
as rich as the world knows, and mines

realized the significance of dedi-
cation? Did we think it meant
a dedication Of the boys who
march away? It should mean
rather dedication Of those who
remain behind dedication as
deep and holy as the patriotism
Of the soldier a dedication Of
our every thought and word and
act to the national purpose that
our boys who fight may know

Don't ever attend prayer

Don't ever sing in church. 1t
interrupts the sleepers.
Don't smile. Wear a long face.
Don't bring anyone with you
to church. That's not the style,
you know.
Don't help or encourage the
pastor. You pay him to do all
the work.
Don't do anything for the
church, except what you want
to do.
Don't ever break q theater or
card game engagement for a
prayer meeting.
Don't ever ask anyone if he is
q Christian. That's SO very i'm

Don't put anything in the

|char7e o4 disIoyaIty, yesterday
rave ID tie Associated Press i
signed statement setting forth
| his views on the New. UErn sit
|uation and his position in regard
Ito it. His statement follows:
II feel called on to make this
statement ii justice to myself
las we'll as q large class Of Amer
lean citizens in this state Of
German ancestry who for q few
weeks past have been subjected
/ to severe adverse criticism,
brought about by the unfortu-
mate results Of the meeting held
| in New Ulm on July Is. The
gathering has been termed anti
draft and disloyal, and this conn
munity has been the object Of
much undeserved condemnation
|in consequence thereof. AS the
one probably most criticised on
account Of the meeting, ! resent
| the charge Of disloyalty, pro-
Germanism, and the claim That
the meeting was an anti-draft
meeting, or that anyone was
thereby advised to evade the law.
1.-THE character of the COM
unity as regards ancestry is well
understood, and the gathering
was held in the belief, enter
tanned in good faith, that the
local situation in regard to the
draft might be- clarified thereby.
The talks were directed to peo-
pie whose hearts were saddened
by the prospect of themselves
or their sons having to go across
the ocean to fight against their
blood relations in many instan-
ces. and were with the idea Of
urging submission to the draft
law. while holding out the nope
that by properly petitioning the
government, such service might
still be averted.
Says Meeting Was Mistake.
Nevertheless, the meeting has
given rise to the impression else
where, that it was inspired by
motives unfriendly to the gov
eminent. From what | have
learned since, / can understand
the natural suspicion that seems
to exist in the minds of those in
authority as to the motives for
the meeting. Judged by its re-
suits, the conclusion remains
that however sincere the mo-
tives for the same, TIT holding
of the meeting at New Ulm was
| a mistake, and / would not be
human did / not regret the un-
| fortunate results that have fol
lowed to this community and to
individuals. Upon realizing the
situation i did and now do, dis
courage the holding of public
gatherings which might give rise
| to the impression that their SEN
| timent is in any way antagonis-
| tic to the government.
Il ask the public to appreciate
the difficult position of those citi-
zens of German ancestry in the
present crisis. I am certain that
they intend to be and are loyal
to this country, to which they
owe SO much, and when the real
test comes they will not be found
wanting. We all certainly want
America to win this war and to
stand back Of the government to
make that possible. Yet we find
that in some instances even the
efforts of so-called German
Americans to engage in Red
Cross. work are frowned upon

AS regards my address at the
meeting, these words were said
in regard to the draft law:
Tt is the law Of the land,
there seems no doubt of it's con-
stitutionality for the purpose
mentioned, and every loyal
American citizen should honor
it until it is declared illegal. The
drafted men should present
themselves at the appointed time
and place for medical examina-
tion or otherwise, according to
the notices sent them by the
draft board. Cooperate, there
fore, with your sheriff and coun-
|ty auditor, charged with the
execution of the draft laws, for
they are responsible if they do
mot do their duty under them
Il wish to deny most emphat-
|ically the assertion or inference
| that / took a stand or was in any
way responsible Tor preventing

The fact is that my home was

flags, and that even before the

that have been imputed to me I
cannot properly discuss here. In
conclusion, / can only express
the hope that time will remove
THE unfortunate IMPRESSION that
