The Wine interests of California

loon and suppress the sale of ardent

German Societies
Affirm Loyalty
To United States
Officers Point to Civil War
Records as Proof of
Americanism

Expressions Of loyalty to the United
States were obtained yesterday from
the officers of important German clubs
and societies in behalf of themselves
and their fellow members. None of the
organizations had seen fit so far TO
follow the example Of the Deutscher
Liederkranz. whose trustees met Thurs
dav and adopted resolutions formally
pledging the clubs support to the
President and Offering the clubhouse
for use as a military hospital unit. AT
least one organization has some such
action in prospect, while others, ac-
cording to their officers, consider their
Civil War records sufficient pledge.
The New York Turn Verein, at Lex
ington Avenue and Eighty-ffth Street,
is an example. Bernard w. Weller, its
president. pointed out that this CLUB
had been in existence since 1850, that
in the Civil War it contributed heavily
from It's membership TO the Turner
Regiment. and has now in its hall a
marble slab on which are engraved the
names of it's members who gave up
their lives for the Republic.
