LAUDS GERMANS STAND.
Elijah Knott Appeals to Schurz's
Followers.

Editor The Herald. Mr. Carl Kont-
zanaoe. prominent, influential German
American, is quoted as saying:
II slckens my soul to think Of this ma
ton going forth TO help destroy people
many Of whom are hound to me by ties
OF blood and friendship But il must be
so. II Is like a dreadful surgical opera
tion. The militaristic, undemocratic de-
mon which rules Germany must be cast
out. 1t is for US to do it-now. Let US
make war upon Germany Of the Junker-
thum. the Germany Of friEhtfulness. the
Germany of arrogance and selfshness
And let us swear not 10 make peace un-
til the imperial German government is
the imperial German peOp.e.'
This is the ideal spirit that should
envelop every German-born citizen or Of
German descent under the Stars ana
Stripes. II these strong people unitedly.
boldly and aggressively took this stand
among US today, as many OF them are
doing. no influence would be more ef-
fective OF ending the war than Il would
be. for imperial Germany counted much
on the support and influence Of these
very people in America. but II this sup
port and influence rises up in its might
for an imperial German people TO rule
their beloved Fatherland. instead of the
mad Og OF Berlin that is ruling ii now.
victory or right over might would surely
be in sight
The great Carl Schurz, who fought 81
wisely and well during his time against
autocrscy in Germany. must have multi
tudes of his followers in this and other
lands, and particularly in Germany. Let
