VIRGINIA MAE KARSCH

On Saturday afternoon at two
o'clock the beautiful spirit of Virgin
ia Mae, aged Is years, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Karsch, passed out
of the frail tenement that held her
to earthly home and friends, and was
borne by unseen hands across the bar
into life eternal. The long suffering
and pain that had been hers disap-
peared as, the silken cord was brok-
en-. What visions of bliss greeted her
in her upward fight, only the faith
that is Christ inspired may give a
glimpse. Though this faith is COM
forting to those who remain, yet the
pain of separation still pierces our
hearts, and in our deep grief we are
forced to cry out until God mercifully
softens the grief and lifts our hearts
In revered faith and hope in Him who
is ever calling "Come unto me all We
who are heavy laden and / will give
you rest" She leaves to mourn her
loss mother, father and brother, a
number of aunts and uncles and many
near relatives, besides host of
friends.
Such consolation as human sympa-
thy and words can give are given
without measure to the grief-stricken
father, mother and brother whose
lives are burdened with this great
sorrow. The funeral services were
conducted from the Christian church
on Monday p. m. by her pastor, and
the interment was in Parkview GEM
etery.
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here; G,.j
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here;
Green sod above,

Good night, little friend, ~
Good night, good night

cealed the hook, and the German
American bit.
The German-American has keen
sense of duty. 1t is inbred in him.
That sense of duty will make him
wish faithfully to obey the laws OF
the United States of which he is
citizen. But the German-American
has likewise an abnormally develop
ed bump Of sentimentality. That ia
tai quality will make him turn again
and again wistfully to the dream
Germany which has long persisted If
it ever existed, and which he himself
or his father, clothed and in his right
mind, once weighed and rejected.
In the hearts of countless German
Americans there is unquestionably
conflict raging between that sense OF
duty and that sentimental turning to
the past. On its outcome depends
the future of the German-American
in this country. If duty wins, the
American, then altogether
an American will stand in the fore
front of American citizens. If SEN
timentality wins, the German-Amer-
lean will, possibly for generations,
be Stunned and distrusted.
An illusion has tied the German
American hand and foot. That illu-
sion is the sentimental notion that
there is such thing as loyalty Of
the emotions separate and apart
from loyalty of the mind, loyalty
which may safely be given to Ger
many without disturbing to any de-
gree the loyalty of the mind which IS
due the United States. AS long as
this illusion persists, the German
American will remain as he is now,
an impotent neutral, who will doubt
less receive the consideration which
neutrals these days are everywhere
receiving. He will be jostled and
stepped on during the war and given
scant affection after it, by either
side. *"*

tation Of our Government and our
aims, do not really want Germany to
defeat the United States. Possibly
they do not know exactly what they
do want, unless it be divine dis
nensation or negotiated peace
which will presumably wipe out the
past three years and let us-with
sigh of relief-start life again
where we left off when the unpleas-
antness began. They want to see
America neither beaten nor victor
ious. They are doomed by their
whole bringing-up to an unhappy.
grumbling neutrality. 80
The Americans are fet-
tered with illusions. Germany gave
! us so MUCH" they say, show can we
turn against her." When they say
that, they forget that, once upon
time. they or their fathers some
where in Germany weighed thought
fully the benefits of German life
and the probable benefits Of Ameri-
can life, weighed the pleasantness,
charm, the conscientiousness Of be
ing home" among friends, against
the greater freedom, the greater OPP
portunity that the distant shore
seemed to promise; and chose to
leave the old home and seek the dis
tant shore. What America offered
! seemed then Of greater value than
what Germany offered. They came
to America, and they were evidently
| not disappointed, for they re-
NAMED. Their children recog-
nized that what America gave was
to them of greater value than what
Germany could give them. Ger
many gave US so much, how can
we turn against her." They turned
against her years ago for reasons
that then seemed just. They want
ed the benefits which life in Amer
| lea promised. They secured them
and enjoyed them. Now like child
! that has paid a nickel for a toy, they
are crying because the salesman
won't let them have the toy and the
nickel also. ***
| It is natural sentimentality which
has tied the German-American to a
Fatherland which he left for excel
lent reasons and to which he has CIV
en- no practical attention since. Like
all sentimentalists, he wants to have
his cake and eat it, too; he forswears
his allegiance to Germany because
! he wants to enjoy American equal
ity of opportunity and at the same
time he persuades himself that he is
! still elm gutter drawer Deutscher.
America is his wife, but he keeps
Germany as his soul-mate, and is
puzzled and offended when his wife
boxes his ears and hales him into
court.
Sentimentality has kept the Ger
man-American, the man-without-a-
country that he is. America should
have been more observant. She
| should have seen that the German
! Americans needed some friendly at
tention. America did not see, but
Germany did. Germany-far- sight
ed, keen for openings-played on
the German Americans sentimental
ity for all she was worth. She sent
silver-tongued orators to thrill him
she sent ponderous professors to
give his beer-dreams pseudo-intel-
lectual basis; she sent secret agents
she sent organizers; she bought
newspapers, to encourage this senti-
mental reaching back, with whispers
of anti-German prosecutions, An
glo-Saxon presumption and similar
"navitist" hobgoblins. ***
