STORY ABOUT~Aa BULL

According to Amsterdam correspondence, be-
ing king and emperor isn't enough TOR VIM: Hohen-,
zolern; and so he's cunning for more titles: ne
proposes to swp some titles formerly enjoyed by
Cousin Nicholas Romanoff and, as he eats UP the
eastern states, create entirely new titles TO rhm-
self Thus, he will become Grand Duke OF Cour-
land, Grand Duke of Lithuania and Prince OF Es-
thoni0 and Livonia leaving Cousin Nick as bare as
a plucked turkey at Thanksgiving time, and later
on, he'll pose as Great Protector Of Finland Grand
Restorer of Ukraine, and so on. He may even be
secretly aspiring to kultur Dictator OF America, "
for all we know: *
But, the Amsterdam correspondent naively
addss that formal announcement Of Bills new
titles will be withheld until quiet is restored in the
East, and we warn Bill that this is a mistake. II
we loved titles as he does, we'd do the announcing
without waiting day for quiet anywhere. 1t
surely reminds US of that Story About Bull
One time, there arrived in this country, via the
Baltimore & Cork Steamship line, an immigrant
who is now one of our we'll known policemen. This
man had over his shoulder stick upon which was
a bundle containing all his worldly goods, and, as
he trudged down one of our country roads, half
dreaming of his future honorable career on the
police force, he saw bull, over in lot, who was
angrily tossing his horns and paving up the art;
1t looked funny to the man and he thought what
great sport it would be to get over into the lot and
rub the bulls nose in the dirt. 1t was real bright,
funny notion, yez may we'll believe, and so the man
laughed and haw-l1awed till his sides ached Then
he nut down his bundle, climbed over the fence and
seized the bulls horns.
As the ambulance men from the nearby town
were loading him in, they asked:
what in blazes were you doing in there:'
I'm known nothing about thot" weakly re.
piled the man, ''only twas dom fine thing had
me laugh furst."
It's somewhat worn story and Bill Hohenzol-
lern may have heard it, but darned if he's heard
the the moral, of which, we are free to announce,
the late Robert Fitzsimmons was the recognized
author, to wit:
The bigger they are the harder they fall.

King Cotton bids fair to be also queen klas'

He is not only conscientiousy supplanting wool

table is simply wonderful. For some time, the
Juice of his seed has been a good substitute Tor

third part of new-fangled butter that would turn
an ordinary COW green with envy. And they're
putting up scores of mills to grind his seeds into
flour that's already established fine for cookies
and gnger-snaps and perfectly satisfactory as
stuffing for sausages When he gets into the soup
tureen and the coffee pot, old King Cotton will
have the incest, tightest, biggest kingdom that

GERMAN.AMERICAN ALLIANCE

The war has convinced Americans of the evil Of
hyphenated Americansm. In this country, as
Charles Zueblin remarked the other day, there
can be only Americans, or guests OF Americans
Any other situation is impossible.
It is from this standpoint that the position OF
the German-American Alliance must be viewed
There is no us beating about the BUSH The con-
ventional protests of the defenders of the alliance
are so much camouflage.
Whatever may have been the attitude of many
of the members, the menactively in charge OF the
organization before Americas entry into the war
made it an adjunct to German politics. 1t became
the center of pro- German activities. The position
Of it's leaders was shown by the address made soon
after the opening of the European war by the
president of the alliance before an audience that
packed the largest hall in Milwaukee, in which he
said:
We have long suffered the preachment
that "you Germans must allow yourselves
to be assimilated, you must merge in the
American people" but no one will ever find
US prepared to descend to an inferior cul-
ture. No!
The official bulletin Of the alliance asserted
that to impress Americans was the main thing.
"The greater any demonstration" it said, "the
demands of the German element will be acceded
to and the greater the respect ntertaind for them
in political circles" a. 49, ST. ;. ..&..@-. 3
In the years leading up to Americas entry into
the war the alliance was conspicuousy active on
behalf of the German cause. 1t sent out requests
to local organizations to write to congressman in
behalf of an embargo on the export of munitions.
It fathered movement to send questionnaires to
members of congress to learn their attitude on the
embargo and the British blockade. 1t was every
where recognized as political organization using
its influence on behalf of Germany. II
Such disclaimers as that by the former presi-
dent of the New York State Alliance that "presi-
dents of societies are often very foolish do not
affect the situation. The president of an organi-
zation presumably reflects its views especially if
he expresses them freely without protest from the
membership. s.r
We might as we'll be frank about it. Organiza-
tons of hyphenates active in trying to influence
public opinion have no place in American life. If
this was not realized before the war it is now
realized by all fair-minded men. In particular,
there is no place for an organization bearing the
name of the nation with whom America is at war,
It must constantly be under suspicion.
