HIS WORDS COME BACK.

In the Associated Press dispatches
OF Monday comes a statement from
Washington of the revelation of a
German plot for the consolidation OF
impregnable military and economic
unit stretching from the North Sea TO
the Mediterranean cutting Europe per
manently in, half, controlling the Oar
danelles, the AEGEAN and Baltic Seas
and eventually forming the backbone
OF a Prussian World Power.
Rev. Grigsby, pastor of the Central
Methodist church of Oskaloosa in a
powerful and somewhat startling dis
course three weeks ago, astonished
his congregation by telling of this
same. World wide German empire
plot" The entire scope of the Record
Herald article was covered in the ser
mon of the minister. He gives the
same dates, the same historical caus.
es, effects and records of events and
reaches the same conclusions as that
in the newspapers. And yet there were
those disposed to belittle the state.

cERMAN.AMERIcANs.

II is interesting to note, in the pres
ent circumstances, the numerical re
Iation between our German immi-
grants and those from other countries.
Previous TO 1890, We received 100000
immigrants from great Britain and Ire
land, SIPS, 900 from Germany, 100000
from Scandinavia, and about 100000
from all other countries. Since 1890,
there have been but 1,023,O00 from Ger
many, less than a million from Scan
dlnayia and Great Britain combined,
and about 100000 from other coun-
rries-mostly those of Southern Eur
ope. The census shows that there are
in the United States today 100000
people of German stock or ancestry,
but that less than one million OF these
nave come to America since 1890. That
is to say, there are not one million per-
sons in this country who themselves,
or whose ancestors, ever owed alleg-
farce to the present Kaiser. On the
other hand, a large mass of our citi-
zCns of German blood trace their par
entage to those who, like Carl Schurz
and his compatriots, either fed politi-
cal oppression, or sought the better
economic advantages of this land of
individual freedom. These figures
prove. beyond need of comment, how
greatly exaggerated are the fears that
Americas people will be divided in the
struggle with Germany.

eign service and will more than double
the amount of American shipping on
the ocean trade routes. Assuming that
American industry is equal to the
construction of so much it will give us
at the close of 1919 total of nearly
100000 tons engaged in foreign, in
coastwise and in fisheries service.
This is more than half the British
tonnage at the beginning of the war
and about three times as much as then
sailed under the flag of Germany
whose maritime progress in late years
was the marvel of the world.

SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE

Does someone, somewhere, love you
With a love that's strong and true?
Is someone, somewhere, leaning
On the faith they have in you?
Does someone's cheek glow warmly,
When your spoken name they hear!
And would that name be counted
AS the one they hold most dear!
Is someone, somewhere, grateful
For the strength with which you're
blest;
Some withered form and aged
That once held you to its breast?
Does someone's voice now tremble
That once sang, so sweet and clear
lts "rock-a-bye, my baby"
While you slept, yet seemed to hear
Is someone, somewhere, hoping
That the Fates to you are kind!
is someone, somewhere, wishing
That your clouds be silver lined?
Ia someone, somewhere, dreaming
Dreams of you, sweet, happy dreams
And are you half the hero
That their dreamland hero seems!
Ia someone, somewhere. list'ning
For your step, with childish glee!
Does someone scream with laughter
When you dance them on your knee?
Do tiny prayers ask Heaven
To protect you? If they do,
Then nothing else needs matter
In this stern, old world, to you.

We have heard of sand storms but you
