WRONG VIEW TAKEN
 BY SOME GERMANS

1 While it is true that very large number Of German-Americans in this country are loyal to America in the present war. there are few who have failed 10 appreciate the favors receiv- ed
 Jacob Crafts. a German by birth, in letter in the Auburn (Neb) Re. publican. asks several pointed ques- tons of his fellow German-American that they should. in all fairness read and consider carefully MT Crafts es- pecially urges that Germans should not fight the country that feeds them and has brought them prosperity and happiness.
 The letter of Mir Crafts follows:
 T have seen several articles about Germans trying to raise strife in this country. I am German by birth and I am an American, heart and hand will tell you why I left Germany. There were ten in our family and we ' were poor, like most of our country men who come to the good United States of America to get away from oppression and it was hard matter to keep the wolf away from the door at times. When I landed in this country l secured work at once and received more money for one months work than got in Germany for one years ! work. l sent for my folks and I am proud they are all true American cit izens and will answer to the presi- dents call to arms against Germany or any other country when needed. T don't see how my countrymen can go back on Uncle Sam. They came here without a cent and made money here. Now they want to fight the country that feeds them. The kaiser never did anything for them or for me. If he had we would be back there yet. All he did was to start this cruel war and starve all our people there and make soldiers
 
 work for his dirty F cents a day with fourth of a pound of meat and a loaf of black bread. hope to see the day when he is kicked out Of Germany and president put in his place. You don't see any Americans going over there for jobs or to any other nation. They are happy here and don't owe any allegiance to any king or kaiser. I hope Uncle Sam will win. Hurrah for President Wilson.
 Stop all foreign papers printed in the United States If they can't read English let them learn, and keep all foreign languages out of the schools. The English language is good enough for anybody.

 Many speeches were made during the evenings entertainment by the guests of honor. who were in turn an- swered by several of the native men among whom were the Messrs Robt Ridley. Dickenson, Calvert, Atkinson, Bates. Haldane and Casper Mather. Senator Hickman however, proved to be the most popular when he announc- ed that he would donate the necessary wallpaper. cheese-cloth and tacks. to cover the now boarded walls of the Club rooms, in order that the good work might be properly kept up. pro- viding somebody could do the work. Bishop Rowe.- remarked that he was indeed gratiied to see the men of the town get together in that way and his hopes had been fulfilled in every way and he only wished that more could be persuaded to join in the good work
 The rooms were very attractive with cut flowers and ferns.
