MR.. PFAENDER'S STATE
MENT.

Mr.. Albert Pfaender in a new
confession of faith now admits
that the New Ulin antidraft
meeting was a mistake" He re-
grets "the unfortunate results
that have followed to this COM
munity and to individuals" He
now "discourages the holding of
public gatherings that might
give rise to the impression their
sentiment is any way antagon-
istic to the Government"
1--WE ALL" he adds, certainly
want America to win this war
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1917-09-19

sions the American people have
registered through their lawful
~ constituted representatives.
It would be still better state
ment, if Mr.. Pfaender were to
retract and apologize for such
words as these, used by him in
his address at that meeting:
Have we in this Country had
any more right than the people
of Germany in the making of
this war? If we have no quarrel
with them, if they are our broth
ers, why should we be command
ed to kill them?
Shall we call him a coward, a
traitor, if he refuses to spill the
blood Of men against whom he
bears no malice, and who have
no malice against him?
Why should those about to be
called for military duty be asked
to go across the sea to murder
the men with whom they have
no quarrel?
Authorities on constitutional
and international law tell us
that under the Constitution the
militia may be used for repelling
invasions, and that there is no,
warrant under it for sending
any member outside of the Coun-
try, unless he is wiling to go.
No one can call you disloyal,
if your conscience tells you not
to do this thing, and your soul
revolts against it.
1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Pfaender now sees that the Ger
mans who have sunk our ships,
drowned our women and chill
dren, killed our sailors, sought
to deny us the lawful use Of the
high seas, violated our neutral
|ity, abused our hospitality with
spies and incendiaries, conspired
to have Mexico and Japan at
tack us, and broken every sacred
promise and every rule of inter-
national law-that these Ger
mans are not the brothers" of
any American citizen whatso-
ever.
It is to be hoped that he now
understands that to help put an
end to their course of piracy,
rapine, outrage and atrocity does
not involve us in murder"
It is to be hoped that he now
recognizes that his advice to
drafted men was seditious in
spirit and unlawful in fact; that
he urged them to criminal dis
loyalty, when he advised them
that their own conscience" was
superior to the law Of the land;
that he, whether wilfully or ig-
norantly, misled them by his
utterly untenable Interpretation
of the Constitution.
The great mass of Americans
|of German origin are seeing
things clearly and doing their
duty manfully. They blush for
the deeds of their congeners who
violate women, inaltreat babies,
|enslave noncombatants, lombard
hospitals and Red Cross relief
ships, and drop poisoned candy
for children to eat. They are
ready to do their full share in
freeing the world from the men
ace of Prussianism.
There is a small remainder of
so-called German-Americans who
have been misled by prejudice
and by bad leadership, such as
was displayed in the New Ul-n
meeting. But they are learning
| the truth slowly. They are be-
ginning to see the eternal JUS
| tice Of the American cause. They
are realizing their duty to the
Country that has made them
what they are. They will yet
be found in the ranks of the
loyal and patriotic.
If Mr.. Pfaender and other
leaders like him do their duty,
this work Of education will be
onderfully accelerated. Min

Cuba is experimenting with a local
plant which is claimed TO Lave a very
strong, fine, silky fiber. At present
the sole object is 10 use this new ma.
terial instead OF hemp for making
sugar bags, but there seems no good
reason why II should not be available
for other purposes il found suitable for
this one. II is just another warning to
cotton growers OF our own country not
TO take their good luck as a fixed and
inevitable thing. At present they have
well-nigh monopoly on the worlds
chief cloth-making material, but there
is no imaginable reason to suppose
that this monopoly will be unchal-
lenged long. The silk cotton tree of
Java and now the "malva blanca" OF
Cuba are already being groomed for
the lists. and other entries may be ex-
pected at any time. The sooner the
South takes up the work of improving
its great fiber plant until it can meet
all rivals, the better.

A raise in fire insurance rates in
Arkansas on houses rooted with wood
en- shingles, including more particul<
larly dwellings, churches, schools and
hotels is predicted by the Southern
Construction News of Little Rock,
which says in its current issue Con-
flagrations of recent years like the
ones at Hot Springs, Paris, Texas,
Nashville, Augusta and Atlanta, have
caused the risk takers to determine
upon this step which they have long
felt to be inevitable. Some insurance
authorities say that the shingle roof
hazard cannot be put upon self sup
porting basis from an underwriters
standpoint even by increased rates
and that only the elimination of the
shingle roof by ordinance and legisla-
tion can protect the public from con-
flagrations from this cause and safe
guard insurance companies from po-
tential ruin through great fires.

SAVING A NATION.

1t is the history of all nations since
history was written that there Genes
a crises in the national life of all peo-
Piles when prompt action is impereuve
if destruction is averted Some peo-
pies have taken such action and lived,
while others have slumbered and died.
Grave as the consequences of our
present struggle are apt to he, the
American people it can be seen more
clearly as time passes, are being saved
by it from an even greater danger
which threatened them-the danger of
over-prosperity and over-indulgence,
Even now, since we have entered
upon the task of mobilizing American
resources, the mind staggers at the
colossal values aggregated. Where a
few years ago we whispered in awe of
millions, now we speak of billions as
glibly as a school girl prattles of pin
money.
This of itself would not have con
stituted such a grave danger had not
our people framed their personal lives
on the came vast scale. From talking
in thousands to living in thousands is
an easy step. The same is true of mil.
lions. AS our operations increased
and our national wealth piled up our
personal ideas enlarged apace, until
when we woke up last April to find
ourselves the probable deciding fac.
tor in the greatest war of all history,
we discovered ourselves living at a
rate that could have had but one pos.
sible ending national disaster, if not
national death t
War is horrible. We shrink from it
and wish from the bottom of our
hearts that 1t would be banished from
the earth forever more. Yet in this
war the heroes who die for us on the
fields of France will confer a greater
blessing upon their country than mere
ly preserving its honor, as the world
sees honor They will have saved us
from national moral decay and death,
For the domestic revolution, without
which our part In the conflict can
not be carried out, is the upheaval
that was needed to take our feet out
of the road to death and set them on
the road to a broader and saner life.

The reports from Trinity House,
London, telling of the success of the
bird rests and perches, erected outside
lighthouses, will be welcome news to
bird lovers the world over. For many
years the number of migrating birds
that were destroyed, at various light
houses around the coast, has been a
matter of great concern. The Royal
Society for the Protection of Birds
undertook, therefore, some time ago,
to erect perches on which birds, mo-
mentarily confused by the brilliant
light, could rest, and the Trinity House
report makes it clear that the scheme
is likely to prove completely success
full in solving the problem. One light
house keeper writes that there is not
the slightest doubt that the devices are
of very great value in saving the birds,
and that it is now a very rare occur
renee to pick up any birds that have
fallen into the sea.
