Deserved Importance Is attached by
The Kansas City Star to a statement
Just made by Judge J. c. Ruppenthal,
of Russell, Mo. The Judge says that
in blood he is purely German, all his
ancestors for as many generations as
he can trace them having been born in
Germany and lived their lives there. he
is therefore a German American" as
much as anybody can be. but he differs
widely from some Of them in his tudg-
ment as to the present relation of him.
self and others of the same class to the
German Empire, its present inhabitants
and especially to its ruling caste. TN
the conditions Of the hour he says
Il would rather not take chances for
myself and my children as Americans
on any treatment Germany might ac-
cord US 1t 1t were ever able to dictate
terms OF peace In or to the United
States. In that day 1t will be better TO
be of any other blood than German, for,
of all Americans. I fancy, the Ameri-
can of German ancestry is the most
cordially hated by the militarists or
Germany, It behooves all Americans
Of German ancestry to be especially
Jealous for our nation, for they have
most to lose"
Whether or not .Indge Ruppenthal
exaggerated the bitterness felt by Ger
mans at home to Germans in the Unit
ed States Is a question on which opin-
ions can differ, but there Is no doubt
that the stay-at home Germans always
have regarded their emigrants more or
less as renegades, felt for them the
same superiority that all peoples have
felt to some degree for "colonials." and
that they have been cruelty disappoint-
ed by the failure Of the German Amerl-
cans to do any Of the great things Tor
the Fatherland that were expected OF
them. It may well be, therefore, that
of us all the GermanAme orleans nave
the most to fear from a German VIC

MONEY COMING BACK.
Liberty Loan Funds Beginning to Flow
Back to Western Banks.

Chicago, Dec. 27-Money in the mid
die west continues to hold exceedingly
firm altho there are evidences that the
proceeds Of the liberty loan are begin
ming to work around thru business
channels and back into the banks IN
the form Of funds. This manifestation,
however, Is still very much restricted.
One reason for this is that deliveries
under western contracts were delayed
BY the fact that the contracts them
selves were not placed in the west until
after the eastern manufacturers had
been pretty well loaded up. The flow
Of funds back from the agricultural
sections has been Offset to very con-
Siderable extent by the requirements
growing out OF the soft corn situation.
The farmers are requiring funds IN
large amounts In this connection.
Another factor that is noticeable in
the western money situation, espec-
tally in the middle west are the re-
quirements of manufacturers that have
taken government contracts. Not only
are these manufacturing concerns
using virtually all Of their accumulated
surplus, but they are borrowing as lib
orally at the banks as they are able to
do because OF the inability to finance
themselves thru capital issue. The in
vestment market has been closed to
them by the liberty loan fotations, and
this has compelled them to rely upon
the banks and upon their own re-
sources to a very large extent. What
will happen when the time comes for
payment. OF taxes depends upon how
fast the proceeds Of the liberty loan
comes to them thru payment on con-
tracts

Chicago. Dec e7.-Corn-Corn was
comparatively inactive but tended low
er. The action Of the government IN
assuming control Of railroads is be-
Iieved to he a step in the direction OF
increasing the cars available for move
ment Of grain, which has been the big
handicap to the selling side OF this
market. Only eighty cars Of corn were
estimated today and prices were quoted
at the close 10 cents higher.
Oats-Oats were sharply higher early
but closed at a net loss. The loss at
one time amounted to about . cents
per bushel on some Of the active
months, but buying against bids re-
suited in a fair reaction. Sample values
were quoted lower. with country offer
ings increasing. The bullish features
IN the situation have been well dis
counted on the recent advance and
sales on bulges now appear advisable.
