Chicago Citadel of Deutscktum

The Kolnische Volkszeitung, which ordi-

to rathos in recent interview to sing the
requim of the German-American press. The
disappearance of many German publications in
this country it blames on the German meri-
cans, who have become renegades to Deutsch-
tum. In particular is it stirred to grief by the
passing of the Illinois Staats-Zeitung

of thousands of German immigrants, without

While in the New England states there are very
few Germans, in Illinois, especially in Chicago,
Anglo-Saxonism plays much smaller part. In
past years the kaiser's birthday was celebrated
each 9th of January in the great Germania hall
in Chicago, and thousands of Germans took
part. And now this city with more than 2,000,-
600 inhabitants is without single German pa

IMPARTIAL JUSTICE TO ALL NATIONS.

President Wilson never has better phrased
the basis for lasting peace than he did at New
York on Friday night. Impartial justice to
all nations" without regard to the selfish or
special interest OF any, affords foundation on
which may be erected the league of nations nee
essary to secure the aim of all.
Only with that principle recognized and en-
forced can any hope exist for durable peace
And this is what America is fighting tor-the
right of every nation, great or small, weak or
strong, to have full and unrestricted opportunity
for development and the unlimited enjoyment
of all the blessings OF peace in its own way so
far as that way is consistent with the similar
rights of other nations.
This will bring peoples into relations such
as subsist between individuals in communal life
in democratic countries. Any nation unwilling
to subscribe to the principle or to accord it
full and hearty support becomes menace to
the others, just as the unruly individual does to
the community in which he makes his home.
And as the community has the right to restrain
the activity of an individual so will nations have
the right to limit the power of nation to do
harm to any.
All this is elemental. 1t contains no magic,
presents no mystery. 1t does away with secret
diplomacy, puts an everlasting quietus on the
Vaccinations of world politicians" and leaves
racial or chronological groups to se1f-determina-
ton, guaranteed in security as long as they be-
have themselves.
Development of nations will follow the in
dustrious application of the arts Of peace, and
not depend on strength in war. International
intercourse will be stimulated by the healthy,
friendly rivalry of energetic peoples ambitious
to serve humanity, and commerce and industry
will flourish because of this freedom of inter
course. 1t will be the part of the great nations
to assist and protect the weak, to aid in their
development, without undue exploitation, and
to advance the standard of living by teaching
the oppressed how to live.
This involves no easy task. But Americans
have shown the way, and are making ire
mendous sacrifices to the end that their own
and the freedom of others may be secured, and
they certainly are strong enough to do their
part in realizing world that is fit to live in
because the square deal is applied mpartially
to all who live in it.

Men, Ships and Food

Of American soldiers, over 1,75000O have
been embarked for foreign service, and more are
steadily following at the rate of quarter of
million month.
OF new American ships, more than 100000
dead weight tons have been completed and de-
livered to the shipping board during the past
year. The total launchings since January l.,
1918, have been 482 vessels of 2,392.6 dead
weight tons. The United States has more ship
yards, more shipworkers and more ships under
construction and is building more ships month
by mouth than any other country, and it has not
yet nearly reached the limits OF expansion in the
industry
OF foodstuffs, the American people have pro-
duced this year enough for all their needs and
with reasonable economy and prevention Of
waste there will be $4,000 more tons of food
stuffs for shipment to the American armies and
the allies than were sent abroad last year With
voluntary cooperation among consumers in this
country and pooling of resources among the
allies, there should be sufficient for all until next
years harvests are gathered.
With men, ships and food the war will be
won. Above all, control of the seas lies in the
hands OF the allied and American navies lnsur-
ing to our soldiers, our ships and our food sup

Cutting Out the "Kultur."

That the German language question is re-
atty and no camouhage may be gathered from
the following paid announcement in one of our
neghboring Nebraska papers over the name of
the teacher and school board members:
The rumor seems to have been spread by
some ill-advised party recently among our
people that the parochal school of Evange-
ical Lutheran church in Sheridan township,
Washington county, Rev. J. Lang, pastor,
still teaches the German language This is
absolutely untrue and an entirely false re-
port. No German has been taught in said
school since last February. One and all are
courteouSly invited to visit our school at any
time and convince themselves of this fact.
German sympahizers may talk as they
please about the free use of the German Ian
guage in church and school and social clubs to
maintain foreign ideal of "kultur" being in
nocuous, but they cannot convince people who
put America first and have no patience with the
divided allegiance. In the language of Colonel
Roosevelt, this is no time for ffty-hfty Amer
icanism.

Another Lottery" of High Honor.

In olden times men cast lots among them
selves to determine which was to do some dis
tasteful act or which might have prior right
to something desired by all. In either event,
decision was left to chance, or as the pagan
might have phrased it, to fate
Tomorrow in America we will see for the
third time the decree of chance invoked to set
the order in which the strong and virile man
hood OF the nation will be called into the serv-
ice OF humanity. More than year ago nearly
ten millions of the finest young men in the
world waited while the lot was drawn that told
them of their position on the nations muster
roll. A very few weeks ago another similar
event fixed like conditions for another million
whose years had brought them within the limit,
and now the blind goddess of chance will again
decide for thirteen millions which shall first be
chosen for the great work
In this unique phase of the war is something
that establishes our own loved country even
irmer than we know. Only among freemen, each
himself devouty consecrated to the ideal that in
spires the whole nation, could such a call to
service be made potent. When Pershng said:
Lafayette, here we are!" he spoke for an hun
dred millions, from among whom will be chosen
by lot and selective examination those best
qualified and able for the work all feel per-
sonal share in. "Crowder's Lottery" is Amer

Relgians Back in Battle Line.

How thoroughly prepared and perfectly CO.
ordinated were Fochs plans for offensive battle
is evidenced by the activity of the Belgian army.
This remnant of the nations strength has long
held in stubborn defense difficult part of the
line at the extreme western end. Here it re-
sisted four years ago, almost to extinction, and
here it has remained bulwark over which the
Hun could not break Now it is sent forward,
and decisive gain in ground notes its impetu-
Gus progress. Nothing more definitely charac-
terizes the turn in events than the temperance
of Serbian and Belgian armies as vrile factors
in the onslaught under which the kaiser's might
is giving way. Completely crushed by the tre-
mendous war machine these little nations have
tenaciously chung to the hope that in the end
justice would be done them, and now their
strength is added to that of the mighty Allied
army to overthrow and put down the despotism
that overwhelmed them Every blow struck
by Belgian or Serbian soldier now counts
double.
