O~s'b A'AsAJ ~ ~ .
Editors, Marietta journal:
In compliance with your request,
that l make a statement of my opin-
ior of Germany ever being able to
invade the United States of Ameri-
ca
While am not a prophet, and not
in the habit of making forecasts of
historical events, cannot reason
from all the knowledge available in
this age of enlightenment, how it
could ever be possible to the German
Empire at this, or any near future
date, ever to be able to invade any
part of this Governments domain in
the continent of North America.
AS to your question, would it be
possible for Germany to land her
armies in Mexico, join forces with
Mexicans, and invade the U. S. a
cross the border?" | emphatically
answer NO. 1t would be utterly i'm
possible. For many reasons. LIST.
Germany would have to SMASH"
the fleets of Great Britain, France
and the United States, which at the
present time, the Navy of the U. S.
is the second best of all the navies of
the world. Now if Germany is not
able to cope with the British Ma
Wy only, how would it be possible for
Germany at this late stage ever hope
to be able to destroy the navies of
the Allies and that of the U. S. COM
bined? The idea is preposterous. !
am willing to risk my reputation as
a judge of the fighting ability of all
the German soldiers, who are known
to be among the best fighters living,
and that of the Mexicans combined,
1t is my opinion that "Teddie" Roose-
welt could raise, arm, and drill en-
ough fighting material in Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona and Southern Cali
fornia with SIXTY DAYS, to whip,
and drive back from the border all
the troops that both Germany and
Mexico could bring against them
And every man in the u. S. Troops
would be volunteers, without one
regular U. S. soldier with them, with
the exception of some of the COM
manding officers. 1t has been sug-
gested that there has been many Ger
mans that have gone from the U. s..
into Mexico. Yes, SO they have, and
as long as they distribute German
Gold' among the Mexicans, there will
be Villas to take it, and make raids
over the border just as he did at Col
umbus N. M. Moreover, knowing the
German people of the u. S. as we'll as
| do, and knowing their intense 10y
atty as a class to our government,
believe that enough U. S. soldiers of
German birth would volunteer to
beat any army that the German Gov
eminent could ever send, under the
most favorable conditions to invade
the U. S. Also that there are
enough capable officers of German
birth who are now citizens of the u.
S. to command them. Why did they
leave their "father-land" to become
adopted citizens of the U. S. if they
loved Germany's Government better
than their adopted one? IT'S true,
that we have few traitors with US,
but you can rest assured that we
have hundreds of loyal-german citi-
zens, to ONE TRAITOR.
