To the German Sympathizers

Last Tuesday the Palladium printed speech
which Otto H. Kahn, associated with one of the
largest banks in New York City, delivered at
Milwaukee, center of large Teutonic population.
All our citizens, and especially the alien enemies
within our confines and the German sympathizers
who infest our community, should study this
address carefully.
Kahn was born in Germany. He has been a
close student of Prussian affairs for many years,
and through his business connections was able
to formulate his judgments on data seldom
accessible to the ordinary man. Kahn was not
driven from Germany because of untoward social
conditions, so that his opinion is not warped by
prejudice and rancor.
He says that he came to his opposition to
Prussianized Germany after he had noticed how
Germany, step by step during twenty five years,
was slowly being converted into government
whose disgrace he describes thus:
IT am ashamed Of the Germany which stands
convicted before the high tribunal of the worlds
public opinion of having planned and willed war:
of the revolving deeds committed in Belgium and
northern France, of the infamy of the Lusitania
murders, of inummerable violations of the Hague
convention and the law Of nations. of abominable
and perfidious plotting in friendly countries and
shameless abuse of their Hospitality, of crime
heaped upon crime in hideous defiance of the laws
Of God and man."
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-01-17

to reach both their intellects and their con-
sciences. ~-..
Kahn is deeply sensible of the attachment
which these men and women have for the country
in which they were born, the old customs that
prevailed in the villages and hamlets where they
were reared, and for their relatives still living in
Germany.
That sentiment however, must be relative
one, restricted by the new oath Of allegiance
which they gave to this country. That sentiment
dare not interfere with loyalty for then it be-
comes treason, as Kahn trenchantly remarks:
'The American of German descent who, at
the time of test and trial. does not serve the land
of his adoption with the utmost measure of
single-minded devotion and with every ounce of
power, perjured himself when he took the oath
of allegiance and proves himself guilty of treach-
erous duplicity.
Let some of the German sympathizers in this
community ponder the foregoing statement.
Many of them have deep religious convictions.
They have been taught the sanctity of the oath
and believe that the name of God ought not to
be taken in vain.
What are they doing every time they say that
war? What happens when they assert that Ger
many will make pay dearly for our entrance
into the war?
They are perjuring themselves. They are vio-
lating the sanctity of the oath which they took
when they renowned the Kaiser.
The world looks askance at man who breaks
his word" who betrays promise, or violates a
trust. These men took sacred oath, gave their
word Of honor to forsake allegiance to the Kaiser
and to be true to their new government. They
swore to be faithful and loyal to the United
States.
Are they willing to be known in this commun-
ty as liars and perurers, perifidious outcasts to
whom sacred oath is ribald jest or an empty
promise, detestable knaves who have no honor or
moral conceptions?
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-01-17

Kahn's message, however, is intended pr,nar-
lily for Americans Of German descent who are not
absolutely loyal to our government. He wants
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-01-17

The Germany of today is not the Germany of
twenty-five years ago, but alien enemies cannot
see the change. Kahn describes the causes that
brought about this astounding change, which
Metzdorff and others cannot see, in these words
There came upon the German people a whole
train of new and baneful influences and impulses,
forn1idably stimulating as a powerful drug.
There came, amongst other evils, materiaism
and covetousness and irreligion; overweening
arrogance, and impatient contempt for the rights
of the weak, mania for world dominion, and a
veritable lunacy of power worship. There came
also a fixed and irrational dstrust of the inten-
tons of other nations, for the evil which had
crept in their own souls made them see the evil in
others, and that distrust was nurtured carefully
and deliberately by those in authority"
Metzdorff 1--WE use him as typical represent
alive of alien German enemies) does not realize
that he is under the influence of this baneful
spirit and that all his thinking processes conform
to the environment which the German govern
ment created and the principles which it incult
Gated in the schools and the army, by the press,
by organizations, associations and other mediums
through which public opinion is nourished
Metzdorff is not the self-deternining being
which he enormously believes he is, but is pro-
Prussian creature, moulded by the nefarious
power enthroned in Berlin, animated by the
poisonous spirit of Prussianism, intellectually
dominated by the militarist and Pan-German
movements. and morally swayed by that false
Teutonic philosophy whose principles is might
is right" and "a good war haows every cause"
Metzdorff is an intellectual slave Of the "lunacy
of power worship"
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-01-17

The condemnation Of Germany's barbarous
course by man of Kahns standing and penetra-
ton ought to exert reformative influence
on men of Metzdorff's calibre, who cannot under
stand why they cannot enjoy the full material
benefits of this country and still publicly express
their loyalty to the Kaiser in defiance of the laws
of the country in which they are making their
money. ,s.. ....... ..... .. -.a.t.- .-..-: -.
That Kahns mastery array of reasons why
persons of German descent should be loyal to the
United States will have no regenerating influence
on these men goes without saying. Most German
enemy aliens in this country are so heartily in
favor of the Kaisers ruthless program of world
domination that an angelic appeal would find
them impervious to it's charm.
The moral issues involved in this great con-
flict, the vital principles or right and wrong that
are at stake the hideous acts of Teutonic barbar-
ity, the brazen violation of all laws of civilization
and decency, cannot be grasped by Metzdorff and
his ik. because they have become inoculated with
the moral poison of their masters, preventing
them from differentiating between the good and
the evil

WHEN THE WAR WILL END

Prof. Dunk predicted the Messina
earthquake less than twenty-fou1
hours after it happened and gained
great prominence the year the pie
plant froze by predicting that calam
ity. He was sure of his ground in
this instance and hadn't a chance to
lose. He predicted it every year until
it finally happened. Thus we may
take Prof. Dunk's prediction as to the
end Of the war in greatest confidence.
