LITTLE volume Of addresses
by Otto H. Kahn-American in
fu1l. though German by par
entage and birth. The essence
Of the book II that Of a stir
ring Americanism. 1t IL. in part. Mr..
Kahn's eager acknowledgment Of the
debt Of love and gratitude that he
owes-and that ALL others of equal
privilege owe-to a land that has af-
forded such an open field for free and
full Individual development. At this
point the book calls ringingly to the
German-American to support the coun-
try of his own free choice. the country
that has given him such large,handed
opportunity, the country that accepted
war only when a further delay would
have belied, irretrievably, the honor
able and idealistfc tradition OF Its past.
From the advantage ground OF his own
authoritative place in the world Of
business Mr.. Kahn sweeps away as ut
ferly false the brood of fables that has
been Matched out of a sedulous and sub
tie German propaganda against the
United States. And he calls upon his
German compatriots to give open and
sturdy support to this country, and to
oppose with might and main every Sc
eret agency Of disaffection and enmity
toward the land Of their adoption. On
the other hand. the book is keen and
dispassionate analysis of the German
situation. Mr.. Kahn-like every son Of
the fatherland-loves the old Germany
Of genial fellowship. the old Germany
Of art and song and poetry. He is
proud of Germany's astonishing indus
trial progress. Of its national well be-
ing along 80 many worthy lines. But,
here he points to the fact that the old
Germany is passing under the DONNA
tion of ruthless Prussia. that that
powder under the juggernaut of the
Prussian war machine. the Prussian
war madness. THE greatest service"
MI Kahn says, which men of German
birth or antecedents can render to the
country of their origin Is to set their
faces like flint against the monstrous
doctrines and acts of a rulership which
has robbed them Of the Germany which
they loved and in which they took just
pride" The book belongs, by right, in
the hands of German-Americans all
ever this continent and all over South
America as well. The great ma jority
Of these. happily. do not need tex
eept to glory in It. But to any not yet
direct appeal by virtue Of the fact that
4 is 30 finely noble in thought, SO fair
IN statement, SO broad Of vision and 90
erdently patriotic in spirit.

"The province of East Prussia IS
especially dear to my heart. In this
war it has made great sacrifices, and
therefore it will more gladly ac-
knowledge the hand of God as now
shown in the East. We owe our VIC
tory largely to the moral and spir-
itual treasures which the great phi
losopher of Konigsberg bestowed
upon our people"
The great philosopher of Konigs-
berg referred to by Emperor William
was Emmanuel Kant, who was born at
Konigsberg in 1924 and died there IN
ls04.)
Tie Kaiser. in replying to the con-
gratulations of the Prussian Upper
House on the conclusion Of peace In
the East, said:
even if the road to general
peace is long one, good beginning
has been made, and | confidently
trust that our victorious sword and
steadfast unity in this serious work
soon will bring us within sight of
the goal, which will give US the great
peace. God grant it."

SEATTLE, Wash, March 10 Any
fears entertained that the wooden ship
building programme in the Puget
Sound district is threatened with a tie
up through a shortage of caulkers, and
refusal of caulkcrs to teach appren-
tices their trade, as outlined in state

the unions.
Ship caulkcrs Of Washington are

Mr.. Rowan declared ave want to
prove to the nation that We arc lust

can be found in the country.
We don't want it understood any

the ship programme. To prove this we
shall Immediately do our utmost to
bring more trained shipwrights and
cnulkcrs TO this district and in addi-
ton put apprentices to work as cuulk-
ers. We have already put on a num-
Der of apprentices and will out on more

/ STAFF Correspondence]

WASHINGTON, March 1O.--To attain
unity Of action on the part of the NAVY

Committee at New York and other At
lnntic ports where government ship
ping is involved, officers Of the navy.
representing the overseas oneratine
division of the Bureau OF Operations of

tion between the several departments
concerned with shipping has prompted

ticers to assist at ports of embarkation.
All matters relative to naval per-
sonnel and operating cargo or other
vessels will be handled by the Over
seas Bureau Of Operations in the NAVY
Department.
All details pertaining to troop CON

PARIS, March 10.-Thc war CORE
snondent of the Temps gives the
following particulars about the affair
IN which American troops were en-
gagged in the Woevre, and which was
announced in the official communique
of March 5:
"The enemy had prepared for the
night of March As a coup de main on
4 point of the American sector by an
artillery action of varied calibrcs.
Then started the sally of three attack
ing forces preceded by sappers, one
debouching from the east the other
from the west, the third designed to
make diversion and assail from the
rear our positions already attacked
from the front. The first group, after
penetrating our line, were elected
with losses and reached their trenches
IN disorder
"In the meantime the Americans had
opened from another side a musketry
and machine-gun fire on the second
group, whose scouts tried to cut our
protecting iron wires, and rapidly DIS
pcrsed it.
There remained the third group.
Taking advantage of the contact of
the two first fractions with the de-
tenders of the section, the las. group
succeeded i'll creeping into our lines,
and started an attack from the rear
The situation became for a moment
quite critical. Our allies found them
selves turned and almost encircled. AL
ready the Germans counted on fine
capture of prisoners. But the Ameri-
cans. far from thinking Of surrender,
stood their ground. overwhelmed the
assailant, and finally put him to flight
without leaving :; prisoner in his
hands.
"An hour after the attack the Ger
mans were back in their trenches, with
the exception of the dead and wound
cd they had left on our ground"

Victory Sign
Clemenceau Tells Socialists
Peace Bleatings Will Not
End Militarism
PARIS, Saturday, March 8 (delayed).

PARIS, Saturday, March 9 (delayedD.
Deputy Emile Constant last night
'nterpellated the government on the
bolo Pacha case. notably regarding the
delays IN forwarding the reports of
government agents to the judge advo-
cate, Captain Bouchardon. The gov
eminent scored a decisive victory
when the oppositions resolution was
defeated. 401 to 1870, while the govern
ment's resolution was carried. 400 to Is.
Premier Clemenceau took occasion to
reply to the Socialists, who, in several
instances since he came into power.
have taunted him with refusing to re-
ply to them. With bantering irony the
Premier said:
My Cabinet met with great mis-
fortune on the day of it's birth when
Renaudel (leader of the Majority So
ciallsts) and his friends declared their
veto against me-"
AS TO the working class being in
danger, he told the Socialists amid
laughter except from the Left. that the
"orklng class was not their property
Nnd that Albert Thomas, Socialist and
OK member of the French War Council,
and his friends were no more 'horny-
landed" than was the Premier himself.
they are bourgeois like myself"
Clemenceau continued. I have but one
ambition and that is to serve my coun-
try. Danger has made me a good boy.
My whole policy is to preserve the
country's morale. In all wars lie is the
conquerer who can believe that he is
not beaten quarter Of an hour longer
than his adversary"
Depicting suffering of the war. the
Premier said Lieutenant Roland Gar
ros, French aviator, who recently re-
turned to Paris after escaping from
a German prison camp, had told him
that if prisoner in Germany did not
receive parcels from home he would
die of hunger.
II have promised you that shall do
nothing against YOU" said Clcmcnceau,
turning to the Socialists. "T have done
nothing. have but one care, namely
to maintain the morale of he country.
which is admirable. There have been
moments when that could not have been
said, but now the morale IF our SOL
dlers is the admiration of their officers
"Everybody desires Eeace; myself,
llke everybody, but it is not by Llcatinr
nbout peace that we shall destroy the
Prussian militarsm.'
Criticising the attitude of the Social
'sts before and during the way, Premier
Clemcnceau said:
We shall go to the very end with
or against you. You hovc Threatened
to vote against the military credits. Let
those who are not willing to vote the
military credits vote against me today."
AS the Premier returned to the min
'sterlal benches he was congratulated
warmly as the members of the House
checrcd enthusiastically.
