HE HASN'T FORGOTTEN

Some friend of the Times-Herald
in Portland, Ore, sends us letter
addressed to the News, of that city,
by so-called German-American The
ideas set forth are so thoroughly
American that we believe it is worth
while reproducing. 1t follows:
Il am what is sometimes called q
German-American Let me say word
to German Americans You are
wrong. Take my advice and be an
American. Drop the German and be
a Yankee.
did you ever hear a Frenchman In
America calling himself, a French
American? Did you ever hear Britt
Usher calling himself a British Amer
lean? You never did.
"You came over here, as I did,
TO better your condition, and to get
away from junkerdom and slavery.
All of you, with few exceptions,
made good under Uncle Sans pro-
lection. You have enjoyed the same
privileges as the native-born.
Now, it's up to you to show your
gratitude. Be loyal to the only flag
that has ever done anything for you
Help free the people back home-T
still think of Germany as back home,
from the yoke they have carried too
long. Our fathers and grandfathers
tried to free themselves in 184S, but
failed. Now is your chance, your only
chance, and don't you forget it, your
/ last chanceI
Don't you remember the officer
back homeT-how he looked down on
you-treated you like a yellow dog
murdered your son-disgraced your
daughter-and got away with it be-
cause he was an officer, a tool of the
Hohenzollern?
"You fellows who have served in
the German army-don't you remem-
Der how the recruiting officer used TO
cali you everything, abusing your
father and mother by calling you vile
names? And when you complained,
what did you get? Five days dark
cell, black bread and water-for 1y-
ing!' The 21fyear-old won had mads
a liar out of you. Oh, I can tell some
nasty tales!
''Now, you new-made Americans,
donate and help; see to it that your
son enlists; donate and help some
more. We will take great load off
Uncle Sans shoulders and pretty
soon we will have in Germany pres,
ident-a man like Woodrow Wilson z
Having once served-through COM
J, pulsion-in the kaiser's army, the
writer of the letter printed above
knows whereof he speaks Between
him and some other so-called Ger
man-American there is only one
striking difference-he hasn't forgot
ten why he came to the free United
States of America.-The Port Hurofa

Our gallant young friend, Mr.. Geo,
Newsom, who has been in New York
for several months, studying as an
electrician, is now in Philadelphia and
viii soon go to England. George is
to be attached to the aviation branch
Of the service, and while he doesn't
expect to do much flying, his skill
and care will probably enable the
daring aviators to make many sue
cessful fights.

The pastor would put in plea for

ulously few in attendance. Out of a
membership of more than $50 we
ought to more than double our at

sake not the assembling of your

some is" A good many people are
playing sshooky" on Sunday evening
This is not the way to make the

us do better in the future.

sit is singular,p continued the pre-
mier, show the past is linked with
the present. Many years ago a poor
Japanese fisherman was shipwrecked
and was rescued by an American
ship. He learned English and be-
came Commodore Perry's interpreter.
A son of that shipwrecked fisherman
is now a professor in the Imperial
university. Thus, old Japan and new
Japan come together in his person.

Leather From Ostrich skins.

Ostrich skins form the subject Of
a late news item from Cape Town,
South Africa. The truth seems to be
that there has been no business man
enterprising enough to push this side
line of the ostrich feather business
during the last couple of years, when
skins have been procurable at nomi-
nal sum. 1t can be produced in vari-
Gus colors and thicknesses, and just
after tanning 1t is about twice the
thickness of goatskin, is very tough,
with strong fiber, which, unlike ordi-
nary leather, is not interviewer but
lies in separate layers, which can be
pulled off by hand so as to get the
thickness required. There is no rea-
son, says the dispatch, why ladies'
leather goods, slippers, and other ar
ticles should not be extensively manu-
featured out of ostrich hide.
