REMEMBER THE GERMANs!-

REMEMBER THE GERMANS
In these days of patriotic fervOr it is
well for US to pause a moment and
recall the long procession of noble
men and women of German birth
who, as American citizens of the
highest type, have helped us to real
iZe our ideals of national and indi-
VidUal freedom. To those who came
to our shores in their tragic period
Of high endeavOr in 1848, our coun-
try owes a debt Of gratitude we can
never repay. For their sakes, for the
sake of eTring brethren across the
sea, for the sake of our own souls,
may we live and act in the loving
spirit of our sainted LincOln-''with
malice toward none, with charity for
all, with frmness in the right as God
gives us to see the right, let us finish
the work we are into do all which
may achieve and cherish just and
lasting peace-with all nations. -
Linda Prussing Azamar.

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.-In
The Day Book recently America
First" criticized a certain sect of
bipeds" who try to dictate to us
whose forefathers fought for Amer
iCa's freedom.
My forefathers for over $50 years
have every one been born in this
land of the free and the home of
the brave, still I object to America"
as national hymn. It is not played
as such at "colOrs" on our battle
ships. I have a son in the navy. How
can one distinguish when played by
an orchestra between America and
God Save the King?
The words of America" might ap-
ply to any republic as well as to the
U. S. Of America. I hope congress
passes the bill in favor of Star Span

Bryan will support the administration
in the event of war, but until war
comes, he told the United Press to-
day, he will oppose, with all his re-
sources, any step that might lead to
war. He insisted war should be de.
cided by referendum vote of the
people only. Asked whether he
would support the arming of mer-
chantmen, whether he liked the presi-
dents last message and whether he
wants to see congress remain In Wash
ington, he declined. to go into detail.
He left no doubt he would hold the
president to the strict letter of his
statements that in his belief he was
proposing no steps that would lead
to war. Bryan dictated the state.
ment and after it had been handed
back to him to read, he asked that the
following be inserted:

Washington. Feb. 28.-The situa'
tion in congress fell into tangle
again today, and the prospects that
there would he no extra session were
not so promising as they were last
night. The house foreign affairs com.
mittee reported the bill to empower
the president to protect American
rights against the German submarine
menace, but with changes which are
unwelcome to the administration.
1t declined to make provision for
the president to use "other instru-
mentalities," which he desires, and
prohibited giving government war in.
surance to munition ships
Agreeable to President.
The bill reported yesterday by the
senate foreign relations committee
is practically agreeable to the presi.
dent The two measures may be rec.
onciled in some way, although the
president has given notice that he ex.
poets no material changes.
Prospects of a Republican tilibuster
loomed'u up again in the senate
{ Senators who today began to in.
sist upon free and full' discussion
Of all measures openly assert that
the reason for their course is TO
force an extra session.
The major part Of the Republican
opposition apparently does nat lie
against the bill to grant the president
broad powers to deal with the subma.
