NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The Father
land, known as one of the country's
foremost pro-German publications.
will hereafter bear the name THE
New World according to an an
nouncement today by its editor,
George Sylvester viereck.
Quoting the words of Carl Schurz:
MY country, right or wrong: If right
to be kept right; il wrong, to be set
right" viereck explains that the
step has been contemplated for some
time and is now being taken to avoio
any misunderstanding.
THE Fatherland," the announce
ment reads, has always emphasized
that it is an American publication.
It's original name was adopted rs a
graceful tribute to the country OF our
fathers. Our fatherland is America.
The change of name implies no
change of heart. We have considered
a change of name many times in the
past,
I'VE shall retain our independence
of Judgment We do not believe that
we forfeit our free speech because
we are Americans Of German descent
even in case of war between the
United States and Germany. But we
desire to avoid unnecessary provoca
ton.

Uncle Sam would not be popular al

Murdoch, Of the Brotherhood Of Rail-
way Trainmen.
The four grievances Of the switch.
men were adjusted the first hour OF
the conference yesterday, but the
additional demand Tor an eight hour
day and time and one-half for over
time, kept the representatives OF the
board of managers and union Of
ffcials haggling until late into the
night.
1--WE have reached a satisfactory
agreement with the men," George Hin
neaur, chairman of the managers
committee, said. ''All danger of a
strike is passed"
The strike threat, II carried into

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Feb. st was almost
ready-made fact early today that
delegates to the annual meeting Of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
association would take the action
that will make Maurice E McLough-
lin a professional, when they con
vene at the Waldorf. The only chance
to overcome the solid front that VIII
be presented in the east will be for
the western men to win over the few
clubs in this section who have not
instructed their delegates.
The amendment to the bylaws viii
make any tennis player who engages
in the sporting goods business pro
misunderstanding the example set
by the National Golf association when
it made Francis Ouimet and other
prominent golfers professionals.
The tennis players will not be pro-
fessionals for a year and according
to the way the law is now contemplate
ed will mike them professionals only
so long as they are engaged in the
business. This probably will be
changed to make them outright pro-
fessionaIs, with no chance of a draw
back.
The question of location for this
years national tourney also promises
to start something even though the
West Side club at Forest Hills seems
to have the rail- Many tennis players
have been dissatisfied with the
West Side club and there undoubted-
iy will be an effort to have the

KEOKUK GUN
CLUB PRESENT
Local Organization Conferred witt
Fort Madison and Burlington
SpoStsmen.

With Representatives of the Des
Mojnes County Game Protective ASSOC
citation Of Burlington, and the keo-
kuk Gun club in session last evening
with the local Fort Madison Rod and
Gun club, one Of the greatest Joint
'get together" meetings of the year
was held, and an enthusiastic crowd
OF over one hundred members were
present, says the Gem City.
One Of the most important events
OF the evening was the Joint action
taken protesting any changes in the
present game laws which would make
permanent closed season for quail,
putting them in the same class as the
song birds, and, also make further
restriction regarding water fowl.
A petition for signers will be cir
cuIated in the three cities represented
last evening before sending the pro-
test to Des Moines.
At present, two bills, one a house
bill and the other a senate bill in the
national Legislature concerning the
migratory bird laws, are awaiting the
action of the legislative bodies, and
the local organization, in conjunction
with the other two clubs from keo-
kuk and Burlington have wired to
the congressman and senators from
this district and state to use their
Influence to defeat these bills. These
bills call for the federal jurisdiction
over the migratory game birds, while
these local lodges are Of the opinion
and belief that this is state matter,
and hence under state Jurisdiction.
Backed by a membership OF over
six hundred, one hundred and fifty of
which are of the local Rod and Gun
club, two hundred and sixty-fve from
athe Burlington organization, and two
-hundred from Keokuk. these protests
will carry considerable weight.
Enthusiastic over the success Of
last nights joint meeting. the repre-
sentatives of the other clubs request
ed that another similar meeting be
held soon and date for the meeting
will be announced later.
