fatherland really dominant"
You evidently regard those German
Americans as a distinct part of the
from the rest of the people and having
very little to do with American life
as a whole, You could not make a
greater mistake. You can purchase n
few here and there, who will make a
big noise and shout for Germany, but
am talking about the millions OF
Americans Of German ancestry. GThese
people regard themselves as Americans
and nothing else. The second genera
ton particularly resent being looked
upon as Germans. 1t Is practically i'm
possible to make them talk German;
they refuse to speak anything but Eng
lish. They do not read German news
papers and will not go to German
schools, They even resent going to
Lutheran churches where the language
is German, We have more than a
million German Americans In New
York city, but it has been a great
struggle to keep alive one German
theater; the reason Ia that these peo-
pie prefer the theaters where English
Is the language, We have a few Ger
man clubs, but their membership is
very small, The COMMUNICATIONS
prefer to belong to the clubs OF general
membership and there is not a single
one in New York, even the finest, where
they are not received upon their merits.
In the political and social life OF New
York there are few German-Americans
who, as such, have acquired any promi-
nent position, though there are plenty
of men of distinguished position who
are German in origin, II the United
States and Germany go to war, you
Will not only be surprised at the loyalty
OF our German people, but the whole
world will be. Another point; II the
United States goes in, WI shall fight
to the end, and it will be a very long
and a very determined struggle"
After three years | have no reason to
be ashamed OF either Of these prophe-
cies. | sometimes wonder what zim-
now thinks of my statements.
After the explanation Zimmerman be-
gan to talk about Turkey, He seemed
interested to find out whether the
Turks were likely to make a separate
peace. | bluntly told him that the
Turks felt themselves to be under no

II have learned a good deal about
German methods In Turkey" l said. Il
think 1t would be a great mistake to at
tempt similar tactics in the United
States. | speak of this because there
has been a good deal Of sabotage there
already, This in itself Is s%olidifying
the German-Americans against you and
is more than anything else driving the
United States into the arms Of Eng
land"
But the German government is not
responsible said Zimmerman. I'VE
know nothing about it,"
or course l could not accept that
statement on its face value-recent de-
velopments have shown how mendacious
It was-but we passed to other topics.
The matter Of the submarine came up
again.
1--WE have voluntarily informed our
navy said Zimmerman. We can do
nothing at sea except with our sub
marines. 1t seems to me that the
United States Is making a serious mis-

marine. You have a long coast line
and you may need the U-boat yourself
some day. Suppose one Of the European
powers, or particularly Japan. should
attack YOU. You could use the subma-
rine to good purpose then, Resides, If
you insist on this proposed declaration
IN the LusitanIa matter, you will simply
force our government into the hands Of
the TirpitZ party"
Zimmerman now returned again to
the situation in Turkey. His questions
showed that he was much displeased
with the new German ambassador, Graf
Wolf MetterniCh, MetterniCh, It seemed,
had not made a success Of winning the
good Will OF the %reigning powers In Tur-
key and had been a trial to the Ger
man foreign office. MetterniCh had
shown a different attitude toward the
Armenians from Wangenheim, and he
had made sincere attempts with Talaat
and Enver to stop the massacres. Zim-
norman now told me that Metternioh
had made a great mistake in doing this
and had destroyed his influence at Con-
stantinople, Zimmerman made no ef-
fort to conceal his displeasure over
Metternich's manifestation Of a human
itarian spirit, | now saw hat WanRen-
helm had really represented the attitude
OF Official Berlin, and l thus had con-
ftrmation, from the highest German au-
tbority, Of my conviction that Germany
had silently acquiesced in those depor-
tations.

HOW'S This?
COrns Lift Out With
%Fingers-No Pain!


Thanks to a new discovery made from
a Japanese product your foot troubles
can he quickly ended.
Ice-Mint, as this new preparation Is
called, is said to shrive1 up hard corns,
soft corns or corns between the toes
so that they can be lifted out easily
with the fingers. It's wonderful. Think
Of 1t; only a touch or two of Ice -Mint
and real foot-joy is yours.
There is not n bit Of pain or sore
ness when applying 1t or afterwards
and it doesn't even irritate the skin.
II your feet are inclined to swell or
puff, or II you have cracked or bleed
ing toes, it will draw the Inflammation
right out and quickly heal the sore
and tender places. 1t is the real Jap
anese secret Of fine, healthy little feet
and is greatly appreciated by women
who wear high heel shoes and by men
who have to stand on their feet all
day. Try it. Just ask in any Drug
store for a few cents worth of lee
Mint and learn for yourself what solid
foot comfort really is. There is nothing
like it. adv.
