dered his picture taken.
"A scharfrichter never has his pict-

him.

JOY certain perquistes denied them in

the committee is for "the express pur-
pose of removing undesirable signs

letter is the line:
The German newspapers must go
from our newsstands and German
signs from our streets" The letter
says:

You are therefore herewith notified
that all signs bearing any German
| names must be removed from sight,
and the same must be done on or be-
fore noon of April 90, 1916
"lf you are an American citizen, you
should have no desire to perpetuate
the internal Hun, and should be only
too glad to conduct Yourself and your
business in every way that would as

can best be shown right now is to re-
move your Objectionable signs.
IF you are loyal American citizen,
yeu will act in this matter with dis
patch. and we will know by your action
whether you are an American citizen
or an alien. If the latter, you will find
the atmosphere on Ellis Island much
more to your liking, and the committee
will see to it that you get there and

Bernard Ridder Declares
"Staats-Zeitung" Has Not
Lost a Single Reader

Small newsdealers are enlisting read
lily IN the crusade against German
newspapers, Mrs. Oliver Cromwell
Field, leader of the crusade, said yes
terday, while the larger concerns were
hesitating about barring such publica-

nounced her intention of joining forces
with the American Defence Society,
several Of whose members stumped the
city yesterday to arouse sentiment
against the German publications.
"To-day I called on Harry NJ. Will

Company, which controls stands in rail
roads and ferry waiting rooms" said
Mrs. Field. "He refused to take the
German papers off his stands. But 1
received a telegram from Andrew Stan

lslng to help all he could in our fight" "
Ridder Not Troubled
Bernard Ridder, publisher of the
"Staats-Zeitung," said the agitation
against the German language news
papers did not trouble him in the least.
Inc question involved is very sim
ple,' said Mr.. Ridder. Are we per
forming patriotic service by publish

perform more patriotic duty bv pub
Nshlng our paper in English?
we are content to leave the answer

the cool heads of the Administrator

"Of this 100000, however. not more

shown by the fact that i. is read in

That Berlin Expects War

BUENOS AYRES, Argentina, April

soon to declare war have occasioned
surprise here. The newspapers agre.
that there have been no recent develop

So far as is known, the only aspect
of the situation which may involve
either nation in the war lies in the
possibility of an uncompromising reply

government has decided not to press
its claim of Swiss citizenship for Dr.
