LOCAL RESIDENTS
 OF TEUTON BIRTH LOYAL 10 NATION

German American residents of this city, numbering more than 14.0o0, ac-~ cording to the census of a 1910 and greatly increased during the last seven years, will remain loyal to the presi- dent of the United States and the country of their adoption.
 This fact was made patent this morning by Charles K. Keller, a mem Der of the executive committee Of the German American Central Bund, rep presenting every German society m tnlS city, who said:
 "Eyery, German-American in this coutry feels sorry for the diplomatic break that has been necessary. Speak 1 ing for all the German people of this city, I think may safely say that we will back up ourt. previous statement that We propose to be good, loyal American citizens and trust we may be so considered by everybody.
 Under the existing and most re- grettable circumstances that have arisen within the last fewN days, I think I can say for all Germans here that we do not see how President
 Wilson could have done anything else
 than he has and that they will sup
 port him Loyalty and almost to a man." l No meeting of the German-Ameri- can Central Bund~ has been held since Saturday though there will be meet ing tonight at which it is expected
 that renewed expression of loyal SUD- port to the president Of the United
 States will be drafted.
 ] The Arion, the Schwabep and the
 Germania, societies held meetings in their indk 1dual halls yesterday, and
 expressed extreme sorrow for the ne-
 cessity of a diplomatic break, but no official action was taken in any lodge.
 Speaking of possibilities, MT. Keller
 said sGerfnan-Americans as body
 have been interested in the European
 strife since the beginning and do not
 know a thing that any loyal member of our organizations has done that has
 been against anything requested of us
 by the president. We have certainly
 committed no act of\ violence or of
 intimidation and if ke should hold
 meetings to discuss the present situa-
 tion it would be merely to verify what we. have previously said, that we pro-
 pose to be good loyal American citi-
 Zens.
 of course there are cranks in every
 movement. Such people are not fos- tered or encouraged by the German 1 organizations, and we will certainly
 do all in our power to prevent such
 individuals from detracting from the good name we propose to keep for ourselves in America
