MANY GERMANS ENLIS1ING.
Large Per Cent Of Recruits at For
Dodge Of Teutonic Descent

| Fort Dodge. April l2.-Altho mucn
sentiment has been passed about Fort
Dodge in the past week about the Gera
! man sympathzers who lived in Fort
| Dodge an investigation of the enlist
| ment blanks at both. the army and
navy recruiting stations shows that
charges are not well founded IL we are
to class the Germans in this country
as unpatriotic.
There are Germans in this country
who are sympathizing with Germany
in the world war but they are only
sympathizing. They are body and soul
for the United States and they have
proven it by answering the presidents
first call for men to join the army and
| navy.
Taking names as a basis for ma
tiorality just thirty-seven per cent Of
the men who have Joined the military
powers of the United States in the
past week are Germans. This 1t would
seem would not indicate much pro-
German feeling in this country.
| Here is the way the nauonalities Of
the men who have 6plisted in the past
week line up:
Germans. 81 per cent.
Americans. A. per cent.
| Scandinavians. Norwegian, II per
cent.
Other nat:onalities. 3 per cent.
| Quartermaster p. J. Smyth, navy re-
cruiting officer reported that ne had
enlisted men in the navy in the past
week. who We're real Germans.
One little man had entered the navy
the other day who could scarcely
speak a word of English His name
was Jacob KritZ.

recruiting station also tells stories Of
Germans who have enlisted in the

COMPELLED TO KISS FLAG.
Negro Who Made Sighting Remark
Arouses Ire Of Railroad Employees.

Arouses Ire Of Railroad Employees.
Perry. April 1.-THE employees at
the Milwaukee round house are Amer-
cans to the core, and they insist that
every one working there be the same.
An incident which happened at the
round house yesterday is evidence that
the man who Ia not heart and soul
with the United States government
had better ask employment elsewhere
Yesterday morning one Of the colored
men working there was heard to make
a sighting remark about the president.
He declared that because the president
had got US into war, the president
could get us out OF it-that he (the
colored man) wouldn't help. Since
then he has changed his mind.
When the shop employees learned Of
the remark, a committee waited upon
the offender. He admitted saying what
he did, but declared it was in jest.
The joke did not go with the men,
however, and they put on q patriotic
demonstration that was inspiring, and
the colored man was the center Of the
demonstration. The nag on the Hiain
building was lowered, the colored man
told to kneel and kiss it--and he fol-
lowed instructions to the letter. Not
only did he kiss the nag but he swore
allegiance to 1t and promised to guard
his remarks in the future.
