HOT-SHOT FROM A
GERMANTOWN AMERICAN

German-born American who has
been in this country but seven years
cries out against the German press
of this country. and gives some of
the best arguments hitherto promul-
gated for its oppression. Mr.. Charles
F. Heartman is New York book
seller and publisher. and he makes.
in little pamphlet recently publish
led. what he believes to be the first
attempt by an american citizen of
German extraction" to effect the ends
that many non-Germans are working
toward with varying results.
In regards to the German press he
says in part, which we take from the
Literary Digest:
81 started thinking and quit read
ing twice a day a German newspa-
per that was full of trifiing incidents
which had happened in some proyin-
cial German town. that was full Of
scandal or sensations which had hap
pened IN this coun,ry. and always
carried a long report or half-dozen
German club-meetings. | discover
ed all of a sudden that these papers
were to me of no educational value
as far as America and its fundam er
tai principles were concerned. | read
only in the afternoon a German news
paper, and after a while | quit It
altogether. only occasionally buying
one here and there for the sake of
curiosity. | set myself up in bust
ness, sought acquafntances among
Americans and studied American his
tory And ! discovered America
Before my eyes arose a country 50
wonderful and so glorious. so human
and so full of ideals that there was
nothing in the worlds history com
parable with it. There was Abraham
Lincoln, who rose from nothing to
the greatest human being that ever
left a mark in this world. And this
man was solely the product and re-
suit of American ideals. No other
country could ever have produced
such a man.
Far from being satisfied with ev-
erything that happened In this coun-
try and seeing many grave mistakes,
I always felt that the remedy was at
hand 1t was the will of the people,
and If ever any one in power should
misjudge the will of the masses or
Cypress their will his time would
come and come very soon. election

and condemn his policy.
And every once In a while would
go back to my German acquaintance
and l could feel more and more their
stupidity, their ingratitude, and their
absolute incapacity to comprehend
anything American. Why this was
could not understand in the be,
ginning. but gradually it dawned on
me.
1T was the reading OF the German
press that distracted their minds
from things American"
The German press and German
clubs Mr.. Heartman looks upon as
1.-THE greatest hindrance toward a
good citizenship" for people such al
he. And by good citizenship h
means the feeling of being a par
OF that great American body that ha'
supplied the most supreme effor
toward democratizing the world.

ideals"

MESA. Feb. 23.-Washington's birth- day in Mesa seemed to the few who were on the streets in the afternoon, more like a funeral occasion than a festivity. Every store was closed and even the drug stores with their locked doors afforded no haven of rest for the weary street corner habitues The pa . rade of the school children was not carried out as intended because of the muddy condition of the streets and there was no speaking at the high school in the afternoon because of the threatening weather. However. every enc rested who wanted to rest and those who did not took it out in grouch- Ing, and at the same time hoping it would rain some more.

locomotives. They drive the spikes
that hold the rails to the sleepers.
That's what the labor situation is in
France, but it won't come to that
here. America has manpower enough
to work and fight, too"
"Some of the men who come into
machine shops are really getting
money under false pretenses," re-
marked Hodgson. "They don't know
anything about machinery, and it
takes the time of good man keep
ing them from doing some damage" /"
''The work of real machinist de-
pends mostly on the sense of touch" +"
Hodgson went on. It's your fingers
that make you a machinist. You
can't measure in ten thousands of an
inch with anything you have in the
shop, but just the same things have
| to be right. That's where the ma
chinist instinct and the sense of
touch come in. You're dealing with
metals, which expand at every added
degree of temperature. Seven-mil-
+ lionths of an inch, the expansion OF
an inch rod Of nicked steel, isn't
much, perhaps, but when you multi
ply that by ten inches and five de-
grees of temperature, you get fig
ure that is going to be appreciated. "
II knew young man in the army"
McGonegal recalled. "He was q col
lege graduate, and accepted for lin
tied service-non- on-combatant. They
put him at work making gas shelis,
and he thought he was wasted. He
wanted to fight-couldn't see any use
at all in making those shells. Why,
he was doing skilled labor and that
had to be done-probably he was
worth twice as much on that job as
he could ever have been in the
trenches.
"On the other hand, I could have
driven a car or worked as a machin-
list. But l was physically fit, and the
place for me was the battle line. It's
a big job, organizing a nation for
war, and the governments trying to
find every mans proper place. It's
