 The prisoners had been on this train for days without food, without water, and they made signs to the population that they were hungry and suffering from thirst, and these kind heated Scandinavians, not acting as the Prussians would have, had given these prisoners of war something to eat and something to drink, and be- cause of that--because these Scandi- navians had given these poor prison CTS cup of cold water in Ills Name they had been sentenced to tm- prisonment and their names printed to be held up for the contempt of the Germans for all generations.

 We sympothized with the people of German descent at the commence ment of the war; before we declared war they had a right to sympathizc with any side they chose. and 1t is q matter of congratulation that the American people so tactfully let our brothers of German descent, when this war was commenced, climb up on the band wagon, but there is q time, as the lawyers say. of repentance. and that time has now gone by. and the time has come when every person in this country must declare himself either American or traitor

 Now all officers not elected arc dis trict attorneys, judges, governors of provinces and clerks of the court.

 Now the members of the Reichstag are elected by manhood suffrage of all over 25, but the districts have not been chansed-and thls appeals to all polltcians-since 1871, So that a great part of the industrial population of Germany. which has flown to the great cities since 1871, is absolutely without representation. That is what the Reichstag's election of members means--in districts not changed since 1S71-to Q body which las no power whatever because it is law--the laws passed by it cannot become laws until approved by the Bundesrath or the council representing the princes. And the members of the lower house of Prussia, according to our state Legis- iature. are elected by system called circle voting.
