And sink a ship at sight.

Till year or so ago,
When a man called Woodrow Wilson
Wrote me to go more slow.
*SHe said to me, Dear William,
We don't want to make you sore,
So be sure to tell your U-boats
To sink our ships no more.
We have told you for the last time
So, dear Bill, it's up to you,
And if you do not stop it,
You have got to fight us, too
Il did not listen to him,
And he's coming after me,
With a million Yankee soldiers
From their homes across the sea.
"Now, that's why | called you, Satan
For l want advice from you;
| knew that you would tell me
Just what I ought to do"

There's not much for me to tell,
For the Yanks will make it hotter

But not half so mean as you,
And the minute that you get here
| will give my job to YOU.
"I'll be ready for your coming,
And Ill keep the fires all bright,
And I'll have your room all ready
When the Yanks begin to fight.
For the boys in blue will get you;

Hang up the phone and get your hat,
And meet me here in hell

We can say much and have said a

Kant did answer Hume, although a
Berlin professor says he didn't. me
Prussian state is superior for man
kinds welfare and happiness to the
Anglo-Saxon state. Let us grant all
this.
Have we got to the kernel Of the
question for us here in America? NO.
Germany may spell perfection for her
own people. But what do the German
language, the German culture, the
German propaganda mean in the Unit
ed States, to us Americans, to this ma
ton, to the future of our country, to
our children?
The answer comes out of Germany's
own mouth Professor julius Goebel,
of the University of Illinois, writes in
a German paper:
"The use of the German language
is sufficient to prevent the American
ization of the German citizens Of the
United States"
The German churches, the German
schools, the German social clubs, the
German language press and the Ma
tiona1 German-American alliance are
described as means for promoting the
Communication Of America by Karl
Junger of Germany. Says Junger:
"The value of the National German
American alliance has been shown by
the war"
The evidence before the senate COM
mittee Investigating the alliance shows
that Germanism in this country is not
directed in the interest Of the United
States or in accordance with Amerl-
can culture, ideals and traditions. 1t
shows that Germanism here is direct
ed toward support of Germany and in
the furtherance of German aspirations,
ideals, traditions and domination.
What the value of German culture
is, of itself, is one question. How it is
employed in this country is quite an
other. To lose any culture is a loss,
of course But we can pay too great
price for foreign culture. We can
afford better to be without German
music and art, never to have heard
of Goethe and Leasing, than we can
afford to be disintegrated as a people
and emasculated as a nation by any
foreign culture, howsoever meritOri-
oHs Of itself.
A word passes from mouth to mouth
among German aliens here, and among
some of our citizens, too. That word
is, "Once a German, always Ger
man" The sum of the offense Of Ger
manism in America is expressed in
that word The word embodies what
/ fore the war, and what is actual trea-
! son now. 1t is profoundly disloyal to
/ our country and is inimical, conscious
! Iy or unconsciously, to our national
ism.
! The German is not here Of natural
right. He has been admitted as a priv
ilege, and when he becomes a citizen
he makes a contract and takes an
oath. When in spirit or in deed he
violates his obligations, he is for
sworn.
And everybody born here, like every
body who comes here, is bound in duty
and in interest to help build up our
! nationality and in no manner or de-
! gree to tear our nationality down.
Amalgamation is the constructive proc
ess in our nation building It is a
, spiritual as we'll as a material process.
Can anyone truthfully aver that the
necessary and obligated amalgamation
has been helped by the aggressive and
persistent German propaganda in our
midst?
"tClasses in the University Of Wis
! c0nsin are spreading German kultur,"
/ says one German paper.
"Germanism is the tongue Of the
wagon says another

More Talk Than Disorder;
Bread Is Urgently Needed

bread, especially for the poor OF
Austria. The correspondent was ac-
companied to Vienna by one French

Former Emperor Charles, who has
retired for the present to his castle
at Eckartsau, it is asserted by the
Socialist Arbeiter Zeitung, is living
on the shortest rations and possibly
may be starving with his wife ana

The former royal family has been
unable to obtain meat, milk and
bread in the neighboring village or

most all OF their fifty servants.
Disorders In Prague.
Some disorders have occurred IN
Prague, the capital OF Bohemia ac-

Jews have been assassinated in Bo-

Wherever the correspondent
passed on his way to Vienna, he en-
countered no difficulties and he saw
no disorders except along the rail
way lines. At station here and there
