Frank ScheIl To Fight For Democracy
as Father Did Before.

as Father DIG Before.
War with Germany recall to Frank
w. Schell of Enid, Okla, and Madison,
Wis, terrible experiences which his
father, native of Germany, suffered
in that country when he was young
man. Mr. Schell recently related the
history of his fathers sufferings as fol-
oWs:
In 184S my father, F. j. Schell
of Baden Baden, Germany, enlisted in
the war of revolution against the throne
for helping to establish republic. A
large part Of the German people were
convinced that there was nothing III the
idea that the reigning house was there
by Gods will. They were ready for
government for and by the people. But
it was not to so. Denmark came to the
defense of the German crown, defeating
the reyolutionists. Many Of the leaders
were shot or imprisoned. Among those
who escaped to the protection or
Switzerland was my father. After
several years the longing to see his
folks and sweetheart inspired him with
desire to return. He persuaded him
self that he had done nothing serious
and that his acts had become forgotten.
No sooner had he arrived home than he
was arrested, given military trial and
sentenced to death.
The death penalty was not imposed
bnt he was sent to prison for llfe-the
first five years solitary confinement
At the end Of five years he was paroled
on condition that he leave the country
and never return. He came to this
land of liberty and settled in Wisconsin,
where he married my mother. He
named his first born after his old cOun
try sweetheart, who married after he
went to prison, as he told her that his
misfortune should not ruin her life.
after he came here the civil war
developed. He volunteered and served
four years for the union. He was
gathered to his fathers about Is years
ago.
"Who would have thought that |, his
eldest son, would be privileged to join
the ranks Of the United States soldiers
to go to the aid Of the allies on the field
of France to fight battles that are sure
to result in those very things that my
father and his comrades sought. 1t
will be one or the proudest moments of
my life to know that lent my small |
assistance to the forces of right which |
will lead to the overthrow of all royal
families.
Il shall enlist and expect to be ac
cepted to go and fight. No doubt in
my case it will be cousin fighting |
against cousin, but it is not their fault
nor mine that crazy egotist of an en-
peror, craving world power, brought
this about. Our victory will result in
great benefit to the German people,
for they will finally secure republican
form of government
