THE return of republican ma

this impose upon some credulous
voters on this side of the water they

The peoples of the allied countries
with whom we are associated against
Germany are quite familiar with the
significance of elections. They would
find it very Difficult: to believe that
the voters of the United States had
chosen to support their president by
those who are not in fact in sympathy
with the attitude and action of the
administration.
Il need not tell you. my fellow

support for my own sake or for the
sake of political party, but for the
sake of the nation itself in order that

The presidents action created a stir
at the capitol Republican leaders
'reconvened" and that the president
would be answered on the stump dur

Several republican senators issued
statements, declaring that republicans

the administration than the demo-
Gratis in voting on war measures, and
denying that the result of the next
election could affect the success OF
the war.

PRESIDENT ASKS
NEXT CONGRESS
BE DEMOCRATIC
Requests People to Elect
Members of His Own Party
as indication That Country
Is Behind the Executive.

ICY hORNlN6 NobHNhG SPECIAL WlEtl
Washington, Oct 25--President
Wilson today issued an appeal to the
people to return democratic con-
gress in the November elections if
they approve of his course in this
critical period.
Return of a republican majority to
either house of the congress, the pres
ident said would he certainly inter
preted on the other side of the water
as population of my leadership"
The president said he would accept
the country's verde; without cavil
but that il it was adverse, the power
to administer the great trust assigned
to him would be seriously impaired.
Following is the presidents appeal:
MY fellow countrymen:
"The congressional elections are at
hand. They occur in the most criti-
cal period our country has ever faced
or is likely to face in our time. II
you have approved of my leadership
and wish me to continue to be your
unembarrassed spokesman in affairs
at home and abroad l earnestly beg
that you will express yourselves I'M
mistakably to that effect by return
ing a democratic majority TO both the
senate ard house of representatives
VIII Accept Judgment.
Il am your servant and will ac-
cept your Judgment without cavil. but
my power to administer the great
trust assigned me by the constitution
would be seriously impaired should
your judgment be adverse and / must
frankly tell YOU so because so many
critical issues depend upon your ver-
dict No scruple Of taste must in
grim times like these be allowed to
stand in the way of speaking the
plain truth.
II have no thought of suggesting
that any political party is paramount
in matters of patriotism | feel too
deeply the sacrifices which have been
made in this war by all our citizens
irrespective of party affiliations, to
harbor such an idea / mean only
that the difficulties and delicacies Of
our present task are of a sort that
makes it imperatively necessary that
the nation should give its undivided
support to the government under a
unified leadership and that a republ-
can congress would divide the lead
ershp.
The leaders of the minority in
the present congress have unques-
tionably been pro-war, but they have
been nti-administration. At almost
every turn since we entered the war
they have sought to take the choice
of policy and the conduct Of the war
out Of my hands and put il under
the control of instrumentalities Of
their own choosing.
This is no time either for divided
counsel or for divided leadership
Unity Of command is as necessa nv
now in civil action as it is upon the
field of battle. If the control of the
house and the senate should be TAX

German Children Taught to Hate.

The hate spirit very pronounced in the teaching
in German schools at the present time.
Professor Thomas FRANKIE has recently published
a primer entitled Sedan Discourse" This publica-
ton is characterized by Berlin teachers journal as
so lofty and inspiring" to be worthy of being
read in all German schools. One Of those so called
lofty chapters is given over to the question, who
and What Are the French?' The professor answers
it in the following terms:
Who and what are the French? They are natives
of Africa who migrated TO Europe seven thousand
years ago
They have ever notorious for their blood
lust. revengefulness. .. love of murder and tor
ture Down to the time of the Huguenots there
we're still some Frenchmen of pure Aryan-Germanic
blood France but the Africans in their proverbal
hatred Of their superiors murdered these Germans
in cold blood, and those of their descendants who
remained in the country were merciessly done to
death by the African scum during the revolution.
The African beasts have an instructive desire
for blood They long to blood flow; their beast
" mouths water at very idea of tapping German
blood.
Never has this vile characteristic come moro
strongly into evidence than during the present
for every day Germans subjected by these Afri-
can animal-men to unnamable tortures.
Therefore, children. we must keep strong. We
must show these Africans that able to WELD
the rod across their ttgerish backs
at is only our formidable military strength that
can keep the Gallo beast in check. The Germans
wanted peace, and nothing but peace, but the vile
Gauls in their bestial envy, against the chill
dren Of the God of Light, the stupendous Badur the
chief of the noble Germans.
Therefore, my children, nurture in your hearts
that spirit of righteous anger and revenge against
the African beast that will yet consolidate the whole
German people in the holy desire to punish nay
to destroy it."
What sort Of feelings can one expect to see de
velop in the youthful German mind when such false
and abomnable philosophy is instiIIed day by day"
It is indeed the lesson Of hate, instituted by
fast fading kuItur.
