sitton, hit the ball well, while MA
fielding was very good.
Should this player be secured, he
will be sent to shortstop. while Nc

he had no alibis to offer for hts con-

NEUTRAL INTERESTS
MUST NOT MUDDlE
GERMANY'S CHANCES

LONDON, Jan. ia statement
that neutral interests shall not be al
lowed to interfere with Germany's
struggle for victory was made at the
opening Of the Prussian diet yesterday
by Herr Friedberg, leader of the ma
tional liberal party. according to an
Amsterdam dispatch to Reuters. Herr
Fredberg was one OF a number OF
speakers who urged vigorous prose-
cution Of the war and increased sub
marine activity. He said.
I'VE must expect from every neu-
trail that he does not lay stress on his
own Interests where for us It is fight
for existence. Such interests must not
prevent us from gaining peace that
will satisfy German aspirations and
safeguard the world from new and
similar catastrophies."
Paul Breitenbach. Prussian minister
of public works. who made a speech
along similar lines, said: "The gigan-
tic events Of the war necessarily az
feet state machinery. The govern
ment and parliament must come to an
understanding and settlement but
there can be no question that the
entire machinery needs fundamental
change. We demand that everybody
does his utmost for the fulfillment of
his duty in order to help our armies
to victory.

pense OF their self-respect, Viereck
was engaged in endeavoring to in.
cite hatred, for the United States
and its leaders in the minds of his
readers. Every murder of an Amer
lean by the German navy was con-
doned and even praised by the Faith
erland. Every note Of protest writ
ten by President Wilson regarding
the high-handed German methods of
ruthlessness was sneered at and be-
Titled by the Fatherland. The Ger
man monarchy was set up as an
idol by Viereck and he called upon
his readers to fall down in alteration
thereof.
No effort was spared to SOW the
seed of dissatisfaction with the
United States In the minds and
hearts of his subscribers. If he In
tended to start a revolution in this
country he pursued the right
methods But he mistook the senti-
ment OF the people of German birth
and descent in this country. He
could not shake their Americanism
He found no considerable echo in his
treason talk. He frothed and yawpad,
Wiley slandered American institut
tons and fagrantly abused the privi-
lege Of free speech and free press.
The masters voice in Berlin spurred
him to utterances that would have
earned for him a traitors death
any other country under the sun,
under similar circumstances. But
his mission failed.
Now he wants to get into the band
wagon. He calls himself an Ameri-
can citizen. He bowls ior fair play.
The kaiser cuddler is up against it
He should be stripped of his citizen
ship and interned with other danger
Gus aliens, even though whelped on
American soil.
