"German-American sympathy for
Germany, aside from its instructive inn
pulse, is founded on the belief that
Germany was a.victim of a conspiracy
to destroy her. This basis has been
slipping out from under the thinking
German-American, and so far as our
war with Germany is concerned, the
president has declared that America is
not going to help destoy Germany I'M
less the German government and ruling
class make her destruction essential to
to her own safety.
at therefore ought to be clear to
loyal Americans of German blood that
they ought now to throw themselves
openly and vigorously into the war, not
only because it is the unacceptable duty
of Americans but also because it is the
best way, the only way, to help the
German people win self government in
the American sense. If German-Amer-
leans of today do not believe in our in
stitutions aud principles of government,
as men like Schurz and Brentano did in
their day, they do not belong in Amer
/ lea and should 90 back to Germany. II
they do believe in them they ought not
to help the Prussian system by applaud
ing all its acts, as the German press
has been inclined to do in this war, but
they ought to give their moral support
to real German liberalism by showing
their disapproval of the Prussian auto
cratic militarist system and by fighting
with all their might against it"

NOT One Stacker
Part Played by One Yankee
Woman in Revolution
Margaret Corbin Took Her Husbands
Place at the Guns In Battle Of
Fort Washington and Fell
Wounded.


Margaret Corbin, who was born in
Franklin county, Pennsylvania, No
vember 10, 1851, was the only daugh-
ter of Robert Cochran, who was killed
By the Indians In 1855. Margarets
mother, for whom the daughter was
named, was taken into captivity at the
same time. Margaret was now five
years old and escaped her parents
fate because she and her brother
were, visiting an uncle, who raised
Margaret.
In 1772 Margaret married John Cor
the First company, Pennsylvania ar
tiIlery, and his wife, having no chill
dren, followed her husband to war,
serving as a nurse and aid in camp
nfe.
When John Corbin was killed at the
battle of Fort Washington, November
16, 1776, Margaret took his place at
the gun, until struck down with three
grapeshot, which severed an arm and
tore away part of her breast.
Mary Pitchers husband, Hays, was
gunner In the same regiment, and 1t
is safe to assume that Margaret Cor
bins heroism at Fort Washington in
spired Molly Pitchers act at Mon
mouth.
At the surrender Margaret was en-
rolled as a member of the invalid
Regiment" Her wounds at Fort
Washington were such that they were
ultimately the cause of her death
in 1900.
On account of her wounds the SUI
preme council of Philadelphia on June
%, 1879, granted her $50 and recon-
mended her to the board of war for a
regular pension. The resolution of
congress, July 6, 1870, is ON record in
which honorable mention is made Of
the services of Margaret Corbin.
'Resolved, That Margaret Corbin,
wounded and disabled at the attack of
Fort Washington. while she heroically
filed the post of her husband who
was killed by her side serving piece
of artillery do receive during her rat
ural life or continuance of said disabil-
ity, one-half the monthly pay drawn
by soldier in service of these States;
and that she now receive out of the
public stores one suit of clothes or
the value thereof in money"
Margaret Corbin was the first wom-
an pensioned by our government for
heroic deeds.

TO OUR FELLOW CITIZENS
OF GERMAN DESCENT.

OF GERMAN DESCENT
From the Milwaukee Germanla Hcrodl
Every citizen of German birth has
rendered the oath Of allegiance to the
country Of his adoption. His very pride
of ancestry should remind him of the
old saying "To be German is to be
faithful In this case faithful to this
country
No man can serve two masters.
Every citizen can serve only his own
country And the outbreak of the war
with Germany can alter nothing in this
respect as far as the citizen of German
descent is concerned. He is in duty
bound. by his oath of allegiance, to re-
main at bis post, unhesitatingly and I'M
unflinchingly, even unto death.
How very grave But every dark
cloud. if there is such cloud, has a
silver lining.
Cannot the man of German blood
render a service even to the country
which is still dear to his heart by the
very fuihlment of his duty as an Amer
lean citizen?
America alone can and will be the
decisive factor.
Only in Germany a general conviction
that America can and will decide the
issue does not seem to prevail, They
do not know in Germany the .inexhaust-
ible resources OF America: they do not
know in Germany the indomitable will
of cur country to conquer. They per-
ceive merely that 50 far we progressed
slowly, but they forget the fact that
the United States was utterly unpre-
pared. Yet sufficient support can and
will be given the entente powers for a
preliminary check to hold out till
Americas armies of millions reach
Europe's soil and gain the victory
70 bring this to the consciousness of
the German people the n-Ameri-
can may lend his aid
Furthermore, he may impress upon
the mind of the German people that
they may have an honorable peace as
soon as they win themselves take hold
of matters in the German empire.
America alone stands firm. unbroken,
fresh with inexhaustible resources. 1t
does not fight to make conquests, it
does not fght 10 gain reimbursement of
its war expenditures. This must be
made clear to the big heads of the pan
Germans and to the Prussian junkers.
They must learn to relnquish all
thoughts and dreams of world dominion.
If the German people will it, the use
less shedding Of blood will cease, Then
America will dictate the terms Of peace.
which the President Of the United
States already has proclaimed in the
following words:
Punitive damages. the dismember-
ment of empires, the establishment of
selfish and exclusive economic leagues
we deem inexpedient and in the end
worse than futile, no proper basis for
peace of any kind least Of all FOR an
enduring peace. That must DC based
upon justice and fairness and the com
mon rights Of mankind.
