A pathetic story of a fathers struggle

vealed In a dispatch received here today
announcing the death of Thomas Boyd.

Robert V. Boyd, lived with relatives at

ago the young man enlisted I'm the First
Regiment, n. G. p. which became the
109th Infantry at the training camp
Boyd was unhappy without the boy
near him. Having served as cook
with the British army In the Boer War
and On one of the English royal yachts,
he attempted to enlist in the same unit
as "A cook, He was rejected because
of his age. Undaunted, he tried several
other branches Of the service, hoping
| for an ultimate transfer to Camp Han
cock Again he was rejected.
Finally he went to the Schuylkill Ar
senal. and, although refused enlistment
persuaded the officers to retain him as
cook without compensation other than
that which he received from some of the
officers. In this capacity he went with
a unit from the arsenal to Lansdowne
and later reached Camp Hancock.

How Germany Made War
on Us in Time Of Peace
By.w A. SCOTT Director of the Course of Commerce.
University Of Wisconsin

In the short period of three years
Germany transformed the United
States from friend and ;ldmirer into
an enemy at war. This fateful change
was due to a number of causes. OF
these the most wide-reaehing was the
war of the German government on our
country during time when we, in our
blindness. supposed we were at peace.
The war in Europe was not three
months old when there was established
in New York an advertising agency !"
under the charge of German named
Won Igel. This Office was raided one
day in April, 1916, by four United
States secret service agents. They
forced their way past the giant who
always stood guard over the inner of
fee. and after a fierce struggle in
which Won Igel fought like a tiger
arrested him and seized the mass of
papers in his possession.
The reason for Won Igels tiger-like
fight became clear at a glance Here
in the form of letters, kilograms, re-
eeipts. account-boolks, etc, ETC., was
supplied detailed and absolutely con-
vincing evidence that the German gov
eminent had been engaged for
eighteen months in a war against the
United States.
Among the papers were those show
ing that Won Papen, the military at
tache of the German embassy, had
paid out money for placing bombs in
American merchant ships, and that
Ambassador Won Bernstorff himself
hid signed checks to pay certain
American newspaper men to spread
the pro-German gospel. while they
posed as disinterested American citi-
zens.
Other entries showed Germany
using our territory to work up an Irish
revolution against Great Britain, main
training a spy system. supporting a
bureau for the purpose of stirring up
strikes in munition plants and else
where. and paying stated sums of
money to certain newspaper owners
who were glad to place their newspa-
pers at the service of the German gov
eminent for value received. =.
The Won Igel papers cover only a
comparatively small part of the Ger
man war against the United States in
1914-16.
Won Igel and Won Papen, it appeared
lfOHl OlHtI SUutEess SupbEiHltuu6u per-
sonally the making of bombs on the
German steamer Friedrich der Crosse,
informed in New York harbor, and saw
that they We're slowed away safely in
the holds of outgoing ships
Another member of this band of
plotters was Or H. F. Albert. He ar
rived from Germany with letter of
credit for four million dollars in his
pocket, and the assurance that he
might have forty million altogether
He was to use it to manufacture pub
lie. opinion. TO purchase the votes of
Congressmt n. and to do whatever else
would advance the great cause.
Still another star performer was
Robert Fay. He did his bit. in part,
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1918-02-15

by hiding bombs in the coal bunkers
OF ships and tying them to rudder
posts. At his trial models OF bombs
OF his own invention were exhibited.
BY his own confession and that OF his
partner the money for this combina-
ton of treachery and murder was sup
piied by the German secret police.
IN this dirty business the directing
spirit was the ambassador of the Ger
man Government, Johann Won Berns-
torn. An ambassador is a guest OF
the nation TO which he is sent and is
supposed to behave as such. But for
nearly three yeats before his recall
he devoted himself to intrigue and the
plotting of violence and murder. His
best remembered words while among
us viii always be those of his letter to
his government in which he asked for
authority to spend fifty thousand dol
lars, in order. as on former occasions,
TO influence Congress through the or
SANITATION you know Of"
Not contented with waging war
Upon us directly, Germany tried to stir
up bad blood between us and our
neighbors by treacherously violating
cur hospitality. Her agents used our
territory as ground on which to make
plots with discontended Hindoos
against India. They helped to promote
movements which were intended to
tear Ireland and Canada from the
British Empire. From our side of the
border they made number of direct
attacks upon Canada, such as the
dynamiting of the international rail-
road bridge at Vanceboro, Maine, and
the attempt to destroy the locks of
the Welland canal.
Mexico received much attention
from these gentlemen. Germany hand
ed over six hundred thousand dollars
to the exiled Huerta to enable him to
stir up new revolution in his unfor-
tunate country, placed one of her war
ships at his disposal, and supplied him
with arms. The famous Zimmerman
letter, of January, 1917, will be remem-
bered by everyone.
In this letter the German minister
OF foreign affairs proposed that in
case of war with the United States.
Mexico and Japan should join with
Germany, and promised Mexico she
should receive as her share of the
plumber New Mexico, Arizona, and
Texas.
In this long list of outrages nothing
has been said about the submarine
warfare waged against us Ii began
with the sinking OF the Lusitania, May
Z. 1915, when ia American citizens,
men, women and children were foully
murdered on the high seas. II con
tinued till the toll of American lives
had reached twice that apmber
The German government stops at
nothing She has become danger to
the whole world. The danger from
her. when we at length broke off rela-
tons, was not remote and problemat-
zeal. II was at hand, She was actually
making war upon Us.

The City Attorney made a brief
verbal report to the effect that the
lawsuit of Dr. Rupp against the City
Of Wauwatosa and the Street Rail-
way company had been withdrawn so
far as the City of Wauwatosa was
concerned, the Street Railway COM
pany having made settlement with
DR.. Rupp on February 18th.
In the matter of compensation in
s1rance, it was moved by Aid Whipp
that if q satisfactory report on the
General Accident, Fire and Liability
Corporation Of Perth, Scotland is re-
ceived from the Industrial Commits
sion, that the City Clerk be empow-
cred to enter into a contract with the
Roberts Company, representing said
liability corporation; and in the
event of the failure to receive a sat
isfactory report on said company,
that the contract for compensation in
surance be equally divided between
the Aetna Casualty and Surety Conn
pany of Hartford, Connecticut, and
the Fidelity and Casualty Company of
New York.
The motion was carried, Alderman
Notbohm dissenting.
The question of muzzling dogs was
discussed very thoroughly, and a pc
tition praying for the muzzling of all
dogs was presented to the Mayor.

AFTER TOWN BOARD.

The Town of Wauwatosa Civic
league will go into politics actively in
the spring election, with a complete
ticket for city officials. R. ]. Seifritz
was elected president at the annual
meeting on Tuesday night and the
manner in which the other offices
were filled has awakened considerable
comment.
Explaining the purpose for which
the tickea is to be put into the field,
Mr.. Seif-itz said:
eve have had considerable trouble
because of roadhouses on the Blue
Mound-rd which we have been en-
deavoring to get the old town board
to clean up. Nothing has been done
about it, and one of the objects of the
movement is to remove that immoral
condition. In addition to that, we be-
lieve the money of the taxpayers has
been wasted, and we will circulate a
that respect. Our purpose is to get
the affairs of the town on a business
basis. We have not been able to get
relief from the present town board y
From the above it looks as if the
voters of the Town of Wauwatosa
were getting a little tired of the pres
ent board in the Town of Wauwatosa.
1t is high time the people woke up
and put up good men for office. There
are hosts of good, strong, moral men
in the town who would make AL Off
cials, and would not only be a credit
to the town but to themselves, and
would see that law and order were
kept along that sore spot on the Blue
Mound Road. Get busy!

nothing in the law TO prevsRt a wom-
an from becoming an auctioneer.
