nation. Could there be stronger appeal for
their LOYALTY, looking at it merely from the ma
terial standpoint?
Again: Thousands of these men came to the
United States to escape German military service,
or their parents brought them over as children
so that they could sdestep this obligation.
In our country, they were free from the drill
sergeant They obtained the freedom from mill
tary exactions which they sought. They said
they were glad to live under these conditions
and that they would be glad any time to help de-
story the military system of the Kaiser. And
yet some of these very same men today are
openly espousing the cause of the greatest mill
tary tyranny in the world.
Their inconsistency goes beyond belief We
fail to understand them and are forced to believe
that they were towards when they left Germany
and that the yellow streak, proving moral turpi-
tude and lack of character, units them absolute
ly for citizenship in this country or any country.
They ought to emmigrate to the wastes of AT
RIGA.
We ask again. what has Germany done for
them that they should be traitors to the land Of
their adoption and defenders of system which
they sought to escape?
What has Germany done for them to evoke
this support of autocracy and this opposition to
democracy?
Can one of them give cogant answer? Can
one of them adduce scrap of satisfactory evil
dence? Who Of their number can explain the in
consistency that looms high as mountain?
Are they adventures and fortune hunters
who longed for the gold and wealth of the United
ol,% l1y% oo
city our nation to please the tyrannical govern
ment from which they emmigrated?
Are the intellectual, musical and artistic
ideals which they set before us mere blinds be-
hind which they are working the deeds of trea-
son?
Is the country to be exploited to fatten their
wallets and then to be turned over to the ruler
whom they deserted, so that he may exact huge
ndemnities incurred in war more destructive
than any that has been waged in the history of
the world?
These are questions that are pertinent and
will not down in the American consciousness The
inconsistency of the men and women who are dis
loyal is appalling in it's magnitude, so base in
its essence, and 50 inimical in it's scope that the
American people view it with amazement.
What has Germany done for these thousands
that they wish it success? Have they been prom
sed immunity if the Kaiser's hordes overrun this
country? Will they be exempt from the over
whelming tax burden that will be imposed by the
Kaiser on America if he conquers?
Common sense tells us that this is highly inn
probable.
Can't these men and women who ran away
from Germany to escape unsatisfactory condi-
lions see that they are being deluded by the
Kaisers agents and that they are actually CO.
operating with him in undertaking that
will reduce them to their former condition, in
fact, aggravate it immensely.
We hope so.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Rather more than dozen years
ago there lived in Milwaukee German citizen who said
this country nothing except to make money
He admitted its excellence for that but declared that
some day. he had gained his competency, he
back the old fatherand spend his days in peace
and quiet be happy with his village friends
live his life in sweet content Like many another son
who srayed from his native land he hoped some day
grow old gently his childhood home and at last to be
gathered to his fathers his boyhood companions
He made his money in Milwaukee and returned to the
home for which he had longed through the years But
somehow when he back he found mseres he had for
gotten during his absence He not free there he
had been here He nobody there held down by the
relentless caste system. exorbitant. And
before he had been back two the he had
pended half lifetime saving in America had been spent
lost in trade ompettion
That German is back in Milwaukee today. He is an
American citizen and happy in his citizenship. He
has home but America and there is not loyal

He knows where happiness is.

Here's an incident that could be multiplied by
the thousands.
Germans galore came to this country to escape
the petty annoyances of Teutonic officialdom, the
exactions of military service, the stress of ad
verse economic conditions. They found unlimit
ed opportunity here for the pursuit of happi
ness" They accumulated money, some became
very wealthy, others attained compentency 81
large that it permitted them to enjoy the October
days of life in ease. All of them prospered beyond
their expectations
And yet they yearned for the fatherland
Their minds eye saw across the Atlantic the
pleasures of the Simple life," contentment, fra
ternal intercourse with childhood friends ane
relatives. And so they returned.
But residence of only few months shatter
ed the illusion. They found conditions so al
variance with their preconceived notions, theil
boyhood friends so widely scattered and police
restrictions so rksome that they returned to thu
United States, declaring never again" and vow
ing that there is only one country in the world
the United States of North America.
Then they were satisfied to live in American
environment, send their children to American
schools, increase their wealth and bask in the
sunshine Of American opportunity and prosper
ity.

Warehouse Fire of
Incendiary Origin

The fire which yesterday morning

Of incendiary origin.
