American Citizen Of German
Birth Tells The Plain Duty

Frederick l.. Hoffman, of Newark,
N. j., brother-inlaw of Miss Louie
Hay, of this city, has furnished a
strong article to the New York Times
showing him to be a loyal American
of German birth. and the Times re-
fers to the article as "the plain duty
Of naturalized citizens of Teutonic ex-
traction convincingly set forth" 1t
says:
Born in German, l have for more
than thirty years been a resident of
this country and for twenty-five
years a citizen thereof. The oath of
the Constitution of the United States
and the remuneration and abjuration
of all allegiance and fidelity to every
foreign prince, potentate, State or
sovereignty whatsoever"
This oath is binding upon millions
of Americans of German birth, who
are today confronted by crisis
which demands actions and not words.
They are called upon to square their
conduct with the oath Of allegiance
and to prove themselves worthy of
the priceless privilege of American
citizenship in behalf of the cause of
national defence against foreign
foe.
Il ia the tragedy of history that by
wanton acts of deliberate aggression
against the lives and property OF
American citizens and the GROWING
infamy of conspiracy against our ter
itoriaI integrity the German Govern
ment should have forfeited our conf
Serce and good will. 1t is therefore
obviously the patriotic duty OF every
American of German birth to render
she fullest measure of unconditional

Rules for Men
In Using
Perfume

NEW YORK, April lin connec-
tlon with the annual convention here
today Of the manufacturing perfumers
OF the United States a few words on
how men should use perfume and
why they are prejudiced against it
may not be amiss.
The excessive use of perfume by
few men has created an unwarranted
prejudice among men generally
against the esthetic desire, inherent in
most men, for the qualification of a
peculiarly subtle and undeniable de-
lightful sensation based on personal
taste.
The barber shop more than any
other cause has served to create this
prejudice. When barber starts to
shave, he uses a lavender scented
lSther, washes the face with witch
hazel or bay rum, applies either lilac
or violet toilet water, followed by a
rub Of orienta' scented talcum pow
der. The hair is sprinkled with ter
pene odored tonic, and the mustache
receives an application of millefieur
brilliantine.
If a man will follow the suggestion
to use the odor to conform with the
odor of the flower in his coat, the
boutonniere will receive all the credit
for the fragrance. The flower itself
will be admired, giving the finishing
touch of refinement to the man. who
prides himself on his immaculate APP
pearance. Used to excess, perfumes
give rise to the suspicion that the
user is seeking to make perfume take
the place of soap and water.

Alfred Tennyson.
In all the world there is no flag
more inspiring than the Stars and
Stripes; the fairest symbol of I'M
stained honor after more than CEN
fury of national life an international
relations. Life and service under that
flag is priceless privilege and a
guarantee of good faith in peace and

high aims and ideals of the American
republic. That faith lies rooted deep
in the hearts of those who are well
aware of the constructive and elevat,
ing influence of German traits in
American life; influences political
and industrial, influences far-reaching
ON the progress of literature, the fine
arts, the music, the education, the
religious, the philanthropy and the
social and moral conduct OF theAmer-
lean people. The German element by
common consent has rendered sub
stantial service in the national strug-
gle for independence in the second
war against England and in the war
for the preservation of the Union, ana
it will not be found wanting in the
present crisis, which concerns the
future destiny ofmankind for all time
to come.
In a large measure the Germans of
this country have shared in the most
arduous labor of converting con-
tinual wilderness into an earthly par
adise, and they and their descendants
nv be relied upon to protect and con-
serve for the benefit of future genera
tons what, in part at least, has been
created by their toll. They have ever
been conservative in their political in
fnence. and their traits of home life,
industry. thrift and obedience to law
and order are proverbial and guar
antee that as a people they will not

ton have been betrayed by the Gov
eminent of their native land.
German MiIitarism.
BY the actions of the German mill
tary government in power, indescrib-
able sorrow and disaster has been
brought upon the world. which has
made patience on our part cease to be
a virtue and which demands drastic
and far reaching action in behalf Of
the ultimate attainment of the cause
of universal peace. It is with sense
of deem humiliation that every Amer
lean OF German ancestry or birth
must share in the universal condem-
nation of the wrongful actions of the
responsible powers which have mis-
guided the destiny Of the German En-
pire and lowered it from a position
of prominence in public morality and
the arts of life to one of incrediable
Indifference to the recognized rules of
national and honorable conduct in in
ternational relations without which
the world cannot exist and remain at
peace.

loyalty to the national cause and
whatever active assistance may be es-
scntial to the attainment of a final
victory which shall guarantee to the
world lasting peace.
The duty of the hour is unequivo-
cable, and it is for each and every one
of foreign birth to prove that oaths of
allegiance are not meaningless and
that their application to American
citizenship can be effectively visualiz-
&c into actions of enduring worth.
The loyalty of Americans of German
birth includes the duty, however try
il G, of active resistance against any
and every foe of the American repub-
lie, including the Government of
their own native country, specifically
AID Internationally renowned in the
solemn obligation TO protect and pre-
serve the Government of the United
States. By it's own deliberate and
wrongful policy of indifference to
international law and treaty obliga-
tons the German Government has
forfeited the good faith and confidence
of this Western world By insidious
methods and means it has attempted
to SOW the seeds of disloyalty and dis
content among our foreign born ele-
ment while still maintaining diplo-
matte and friendly relations with the
Government and the people of the
United States.

for Americans of German birth and
ancestry to do even more than their
required share in behalf of the ma
tional cause, so that the worlds van
ishing faith in German honor may be
redeemed to be accountable only to the
Supreme Being and the Government
and the people of their adopted coun-
try.
The world is not at war with the
German people, but with the German
Government and it's ruthless and i'll
considered military policy, without a
parallel in modern history. Already
at war with the leading Powers of the
European continent, the German Gov
eminent has also broken faith with
the one nation whose good will more
than that of any other she will be
rost in need of when the seemingly
hopeless task of reconstruction will
have to be attempted for the good of
the generations yet to be.

Never was it more true of any govern

none so blind as those who will nor

the status of national degradation by
its own ill considered adherence to a

Germany has cOntemptuously disre-

sacrifice of her national honor and
the present and future interests Of
the German people.

CONCERNING THE BEAN BILL

The Oregonan says the Bean bill authorizing the
counties in which railroad lands situated to place such
lands on the assessment rolls and to relieve the counties
from paying the state until is collected by such
counties means saving to those counties of $45OOOO
year That the refusal to pass the measure will deprive
such counties of revenues they Justly entitled to- in
that sum- If the Oregonians statement is correct then
certainly the measure should have the support of every
taxpayer in the state and that means everybody for all
are taxpayers either directly Indirectly We must con-
fess our inability to see where the placing of these lands
on the assessment rolls will benefit anyone The lanes
have been declared forfeited to the general government
and being they have become the property of the United
States and are therefore not subject to taxation If the
lands belong to the general government, Of what use
would it be to place them the assessment roll? If the
Oregonan can show where the counties would be bene
ted by passing the Bean bill it should do in the inter-
