Manila, Jan. 3.-The Germania YER
Elm of Manila exists no longer. AT a
meeting here yesterday the directors
voted to suspend permanently The
association will be kept up as bust
ness organization owning what was the
Germania hall until today and what IS
now the Manila opera house, prop
erty worth between $1,000 and $4,000.
Some disposal will be made Of the in
surance carried by the Verein, possibly
with another company or by the opera
house company.
The hall has been leased to private
persons for operation, and the German
verein is now matter OF history. The
final action of the association as the
Verein was to instruct the officers 10
arrange for big all day celebration
and patriotic meeting to be held at the
beginning of the next Liberty loan
drive.
The German language hts always
been spoken at the meetings OF the
Verein until yesterday when every per-
son used the English. TIL records OF
the meeting were kept in English also.
The Verein had about eighty mem
bers. These persons thought that some
comfort might be given the enemy by
the fact that the Verein existed. tho
entirely free from Germanism. So the
Verein was ended.
The leader in the move for perman-
ent suspension was the secretary, M.
III. Berkemeier, who has one son IN
France and another in the navy. Others
backing the proposition were FREQ
Stickleberg, president. and Henry
Hamann.

Wayside Notes and Impressions
BY A. D. scougal.

Scougal.
dence Of his friends and acquaintance.
There is no cunning in his counte-
nance-only honesty and candor and
frankness. He lisa man Of heart and
is swayed rather by sentiment than
by cool Judgment at times, al are all
men who are endowed more or less with
that attribute known as artistic tenn
permanent.
But Dr. Steiner is honest, and in my
opinion the kaiser has not enough gold
&: HE command To substitute him or
hire him to do a traitorous deed against
the honor and dignity OF his adopted
country. That is the opinion OF many
of Grinnell's most patriotic and best
people, tho there be some who think
he has been unpatriotic. "a loyal
citizen, but unfortunate in his public
expression" is a fair consensus OF
opinion among people with whom l
talked.
DIR. Steiner has had varied cx-
perience. He has been n steerage pas
senger In immigrant boats number
Of times and has mined coal in Penn
sylvania. 1t has been his habit to place
himself in the position Of the under
dog In the race OF life that he might
have heart and do his bit in remedy
ing bad political conditions wherever
they exist. He has enjoyed the friend
ship Of Count Tolstoi. who was his
fellow countryman. DR.. Steiner Is not
a German. but Russian. He is con-
sidered the master authority on foreign
immigration and has studied deeply
the lights and shadows OF human char
acter both in this country and In
Europe. lie is the author Of a num-
Der Of interesting and informing books.
But today he is a man OF sorrow.
who regrets keenly the criticism thai
has been thrust upon him.
And he carries the load with for
giving smile.

Years day. 1915

Des Moines, Jan. 3.-Governor w. L.
Harding left with members of-the state
defense council Wednesday night for
the east to study defense council meth
DDS in Ohio and Indiana. While the
governor gave out nothing official be-
fore leaving it is generally believed
that the proposed special session of the
legislature will not be called.
Some way will be found to provide
funds for the state board Of control in
stitutions' without calling a special ses-
,sion,it is now believed. y. The authority
to secure additional funds is already
authorized, itais stated under existing
statutes, and an official ruling from
the state department Of Justice Is
looked for to this effect.
The state council of defense probably
will get along without additional au-
thority other than that vested IN it
thru the governors office. It was the
state council of defense members who
first suggested a special session and
who were the last to urge it on the
governor just before he made his an
nouncement that he was seriously con-
siderlng calling the solons together.
To Study Methods.
The taking Of the survey Of man
power and factories in Iowa is to be
studied by the governor and defense
council members in their present trip
to Ohio and Indiana and methods used
in those states, recommended as high
ly successful by national defense conn
Gil workers. may be followed in this
state. In that event the special session
will not be needed to work out tho
census or the survey. The legislature
in fact already has made provision for
the census in statute enacted at it's
regular session last winter. No pro-
vision, however has been made for
taking care Of the factories whose work
may be diverted into new channels thru
government needs. HI j
The governors friends say that tho
governor was ready to call the special
session regardless Of any political con-
siderations IL the holding Of a specia!
session would help in war matters.
They declare. however, that the indica-
lions are that the session might not
be confined to war legislation and that
it is only war legislation which should
be considered.

Howard Taft, former president of the

Dodge the past three days speaking to
the men Of the enlisted army under the
auspices of the army Y. M. C. A., be-
lieves that the United States and tie
allies should themselves conduct propa-
ganda in Russia to educate the Rus
sian people to the aims Of the allies.
He declares that If this had been done
the allies and the United States might
have saved the day in Russia.
1.-The Russian is ignorant" said the
former president in an interview here.
LAS German is a common language
along the western boundary 1t was easy
for Germany to flood Russia with their
literature. Then. too, the tendrils OF
socialism have reached out over Rus
sia, spreading Germanism. under
stand that starvation threatens Rus
sia in many sections. But one thing
is sure, If the Prussians get in there
they will get whatever food there Is
to be had" Il
While Judge Taft would use extreme
measures with traitors he urges care
in condemning German residents.
I'VE have been tender enough with
the spies up to this time" he said
.There Is only one thing to be done
with men who are caught tampering
with our munitions or blowing up am
munition plants. They ought to be
hanged-hanged in the open so the
people will know about It.
However with those who are still
not particularly enthusiastic for Uncle
Sam we should be cautious with our
words. We will win them over yet. 1t
should not be forgotten that these same
people have already disappointed the
fatherland. They fooled the kaiser. It
was one OF the mistaken guesses Of the
Germans that their people in America
would keep us out Of the war: that the
German people Of the United States
would paralyze our offensive Z and
frighten our politicians"
Judge Taft warns against any antici-
patton on the part Of the American
people Of quick victory.
LET me warn every one not to an
....irete a quick victory" he said.
sThere Is no, indication Of it. It will
be much better to prepare for a long,
hard struggle and then to be agree
ably surprised by a sudden ending than
to think 1t Is going to be brief war
and be sadly disappointed"
