Undivided Duty is to Support the
Government Of This Country.
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir-Within a few days this coun-
try will be at war with Germany, and
II behooves all men and women of
German parentage or the descendants
of such, to think only Of one thing,
namely, the country of their adoption
or their birth, the United States of
America.
The sympathy Of the German born
or those descended from them was
undoubtedly until lately mostly with
Germany as against the allied ma
lions. And this is only natural as
many Of their own beloved ones may
still be in Germany, and it was with
and for these that this sympathy
existed, and not with any particular
government, but all this will be an
cient history in a few days, and as
said above, it will be our undivided
duty to join in every task with our
American brothers and sisters in OBJ
tanning justice for the country OF CUP
adoption or birth, the United States
of America, and we must fulfill this
duty without the slightest evasion, and
I am certain I voice the sentiment
Of almost every American man or
woman, of German birth or extrac-
ton.
All America knows that while rare
individual cases may exist of people
being in our midst who must not
and cannot be tolerated / am GER
tain it also knows that the German
element of its people which furnished
many a soldier in the Civil and
Spanish-American wars can be fully
trusted under all circumstances, and
l am safe in predicting that no class
Of people can or will foster any feel
ing toward this same German element
in the United States excepting that
of the highest esteem, because it will
prove itself worthy OF its country,
the United States OF America.

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir.-As your paper advocates uni
versal military training / have a few
suggestions to make.
In order TO get properly equipped
and trained men we should have men
OF the regular army placed over them
and not men who through their wealth
and influence receive a commission
who do not know anything about train
ing men.
Since soldering is a business, men
want to be instructed by competent
men in whom they have confidence II
they are expected to risk their lives.
The writer suggests that we get our
higher officers such as generals,
colonies. lieutenant colonies and ma
jors from lower rank of commission

One OF the requests made by the Wilmington Ma

OF this city including those having charge OF the pub

PACT
MAY BE SIGNED SOON
Settlement of Differences Between
Two Peoples Is Nearly
Agreed Upon.

BERLIN, January 25.-The long dis
cussed composition of the differences
between Austria and Hungary has been
SO nearly agreed upon that an agree
ment will be signed early in February,
according to Vienna dispatch to the
Tageblatt The dispatch says that as
soon as this settlement is made nego-
tiations for a commercial treaty be-
tween Austria Hungary and Germany
will be Immediately undertaken.
The agreement with Hungary, which
will be effective for twenty years, pro-
vides that Hungary will continue to
pay it's present percentage of the ex-
penses of the empire. but that later
cattle duties will be raised appreciably.
Regulations regarding the importation
Of live swine are also to be altered, so
that such importation will be possible.
The agreement also contains clauses
for the regulation of railroad rates
and admits Hungarian stocks to the
Vienna bourse.
The practical completion of this
composition makes the position of
Premier Clam MARITIME much stronger,
and he is expected to be able to take
up, the outstanding Bohemian questions
within the next eight or ten weeks.
These include redistricting and intro
duction of the German language into
official business. With the conclusion
of this matter parliament will be con-
yened to receive the emperor's pledge
TO extend his own term. The Galician
problem has been definitely postponed
until the end of the war.

lice Court today of a charge of having
been intoxicated Saturday afternoon

three physicians who examined Norris
at Georgetown University Hospital, two
hours later. testified he was not intoxi-
Gated. and that he could not have been
intoxicated at the time charged Other

ed with him or to having seen the Off

was sufficient to show the officer was
not drunk and accordingly dismissed the
charge.

harder, especially Russians on the adj
vance in selling price of crude oil. The
other sections were neglected. Ameri-

UTAH'S VOTE MISSING.
Electoral Count Goes Astray En-
Route to CAPITAL.

Utah's electoral vote. consisting of
four simple. little counts in the cleo
tora1 college. has been lost, and any
one finding it around Washington will
do the college a favor by spanking it
good and hard and sending it to the
Senate.
This famous vote. made prominent in
the Roosevelt Wilson fight by being
one of the only electoral votes to attach
themselves to the first of the trio, has
suddenly disappeared. Whether it is a
diffident little vote. shy because of its
small size. no one knows-at any rate, no
one can fnd IT. and the secretary of state
of Utah has been asked to rush another
copy here as soon as possible. Until
Ttah's vote is found there can be no
real election of Woodrow Wilson for
