THE RIGHT SPIRIT

The 90 German societies which
have offered Scheutzen Park, back of
Hoboken, to the Government for d
rifle range and concentration camp
are showing German-American spirit
of sort which has not been much
talked about, but which prevails far
more widely among Americans of
German parentage than does the bel
licose support of German militarism
which occupied so much space in the
German papers here down to the time
that war was officially recognized {.
These Sc societies have owned Scheut-
zen Park for 30 years Or more, and
have made it famous as i great re-
creation field. 1t has one Of the finest
rifle ranges in the country. It will
no doubt be useful to the country, but
the spirit which prompted the offer
is more helpful than the use of the
park can be-Brooklyn Eagle.

FACTS PLAINLY STATED.

There may be some things which
Billy Sunday says in the pulpit that
are not as pleasing as they might be,
but it must be admitted that when ne

hits the mail squarely on the head.
Mr.. Sunday paid his respects to the
slackers who are rushing to get mar
ried in order to avoid going to war,
during the course of sermon deliv-
cred by him in New York city night
before last and he did not mince
matters in the least. There We're
eighteen thousand people in the audi
ence and it is said they fully endorsed
his sentiments.
Among other things he said that
such men came close to being traitors,
and that is was shameful disgrace
that twice as many young men are
hurrying to get married than are en-
listing to defend the Stars and
Stripes He said:
"The fellow who will make the
skirts of woman safety-irst shield
when war threatens is a Stacker, a
coward and borders close upon being
a traitor" he shouted.
at is disgrace-oh, God. what a
shameful d;sgrace.- when twice as
many apply for marriage licenses in
New York as enlist under the Stars
and Stripes. "
1t is said the big crowd fairly shock
the building with their cheers.
