WRITES TO COUSIN.
Champaign, France, Dec. 3, 1918
Miss Annie Carter,

Champaign, France, Dec. 3, 1918
Miss Annie Carter,
McHenry, Ky.
Dear cousin: Your letter of No
vember z received this afternoon, and
was real glad to hear from you. A
letter from home is always appreciat-
ed by the boys over here.
l am doing fine and about as lazy
as usual.
Well. we can tell almost anything
now, so will tell you a little of my
experiences here. We left New York
September the 9th, on the British
Ship Militia, and landed at Liverpool
thirteen days later; then loaded on a
freight train and after a twelve
hour ride landed at Romsey, England.
and went out to British Rest Camp,
rested one night. rolled packs and
hiked to South Hampton. distance
of nine miles, and there boarded a
ship for Harve, France. 1t was there
we quit talking to people we met on
the road. Guess you know why.
From there we went to French rest
camp for a couple OF days; then
boarded another one of those easy CD
riding freight cars and rode three
days and nights. landing at last at
Montport, France, Just a short dis
lance from Bordeaus. There we did
a little soldering. We had very good
quarters-Billets, they call them
here. We were quartered in old
buildings, residences, barns and such
buildings as could be spared. While
at Montport we cleared about forty
acres of ground, and built a target
range, with shovels and picks and
axes. The lumber used was hewed
from poles. Materials and tools are
very scarce here. | really do not see
how they manage to get along with
what they have. While we were pas
sing to the other side of the city, on
our way to Classification camp the
good news of the war ending reached
us. You should have heard the noise
we made when we heard the good
news. | know the citizens must have
thought we were wild. 1t seemed
like one continuous yell We are
now in a Belgian camp. and hope it
will not be long until we will be com
ing home.
With best wishes to all / remain
your cousin.

where this has occurred.
1t will be equally simple for these
men to return to the German and
Austrian houses and take with them
their inside knowledge of the
American firms business.
Another report shows that the
great German Allgemeine Electrici-

Swedish engineers to learn the A.

as "under-cover" agents, getting

SsPassive'' Germans Are
Denied Citizenship

Ten out Of eleven Germans who ap-
piled for admission to citizenship YES
terday in the Queens County Supreme
Court were denied naturalization by
Justice Cropsey after he had examined
them as to their conduct during the
war. The one man accepted is Fred
erick c. C. Zundel, 1901 Seneca Ave
nue., Ridgewood, Queens. He told Jus
tice Cropsey that he had subscribed
to all five Liberty Loans and had
brother in the American army.
One woman applicant was rejected.
She is Isabella Kempfer, a stenog-
rapher Of Pocahontas Apcnue, Hollis,
Queens. She was born in Posen and
came to America while child. When
questioned concerning her support or
government loans she said that she
had not invested in the first two be-
cause she was unemployed at the time.
Justice Cropsey dismissed her appli-
cation.
"You get the benefit of this country"
the justice told the ten repected, land

Danish Enjoys Deny
Their Country Is
"a German, VassaI''

The press department. of the Dan
ish legation in Washington yesterday
telegraphed to The Tribune vigor-
GUS denial of statement made by
Stanley Frost in his article of May 1
on Germany's plot for after-war trade
supremacy Mr.. Frost wrote that Dem
mark was "a German vassal."
eve trust that you, in fairness to
Denmark, will publish the following
statement" the telegram reads. "This
legation mosttemphatically denies the
assertion in Stanley Frosts article of
May l, that Denmark is "a German
vassal" Nothing could be farther
from the truth. Rumors of the effect
that Germany was endeavoring to OBJ
tain control Of he Danish industries
and shipping and that the Germans
had erected branch factories of their
great industrial works in Denmark so
that their produce would appear to be
Danish, thus avoiding the "Made in
Germany" stigma, recently caused an
nvcstigation to be made by the great
Danish trade organizations.
Deny German Control
The investigation having been con-
cludcd, the chairman of the Danish
Chamber of Manufacturers, Mr.. Alex
toss, published report, in which he
SAID that it is absolutely untrue that
the Germans have obtained control of
Danish shipping and industries and
that 1t is equally untrue that the Ger
mans have established branches of
their own industrial works in Den
mark.
"The investigation proved that the
Danish industries are owned and con-
trolled absolutely by Danes and that
the foreign influence has been of no
Importance in the development of DAN
lsh industrial life, except in a few
cases where British capital has been
engaged.
ITO this can be added, that during
the war, Denmark has become more in
dependent than ever of foreign capital
and foreign enterprises. Danish bonds
formerly owned by foreign investors
have been bought back and CONNER
clally Denmark is no fonger dependent
on foreign ports, as Danish merchants
now import and export everything di-
rectly instead of having it trans
shipped through other countries.
To Increase U. S. Trade
"The trade relations between Den
mark and America have consequently
been increased many fold and Dan
ish trading companies are now, with
the Copenhagen free port as their
main basis, breaking new ground for
American goods in the scandinavian
and Baltic countries.
Denmark is not going to be a cats
paw of Germany or other foreign coun-
tries. Anybody familiar with Dom
mark knows that the Danish merchants
and manufacturers are too Jealous of
their reputation and their interests to
let themselves be used clandestinely
,ation"

Mayors on Reds
Seattle Executive SAYS
Either Flag Of A,,archy
or Of United States

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 2.-Declar-
ing that the -rioting reported in many
cities yesterday was an evidence of
the menace of Bolshevism and I. W. W.
principles, Mayor Hanson, of Seattle.
to whom was sent the first bomb dis
covered by the authorities, urged that
Mayors call upon the National govern
ment for the deportation and punish
ment OF all anarchists.
tie declared that the "Reds" have
vast organization in every country in
the world and expect to overthrow
them, including ours.
The Mayors statement follows:
1.-The red flag of anarchy cannot con-
tlnue to wave on the same planet with
our emblem of liberty and free dom.
Make no mistake about that. One or
the other must fall. Surely the red
flag holds no place in our country.
Then let us suppress it in every
part of our land. l note that press
dispatches state that an I. W. W. ma
tlonal convention is soon to be held.
1t seems unbelievable that our gov
ernment will allow this outlaw organi-
zation to assemble e. masse and plot
its destruction at such time as this.
However, as Mayors we have our
sworn duty to perform and we must
be true TO our citizenship.
"Therefore | request all Mayors in
this great land of ours to close all I.
W. W. halls, throw the teachers of
force and violence in Jail, demand of
the national authorities the deporta
tion and punishment of all anarchists
and the suppression Of the red flag
wherever and whenever it is found.

'SO"esC P' USU'
By Stanley Frost
Germany is reentering the COM
mercial and industrial field in
America with tremendous factors in
her favor here as we'll as abroad
This is in spite of the war handi-
caps which have been so much en-
phasized, especially in her own
propaganda. Her position will not
be that of 1914, but she has here
q broad and secure basis on which
to build, and the means for the re-
building of the great machine that
was smashed by the work of the
Alien Property Custodian, the War
Trade Board, the Intelligence Serv-
Ices and the Department of Justice.
She has here money, an organiza-
tion, millions of sympathizers and
host of men who, for one reason
or another, see possible advantage
to themselves from alliance with
the new trade invasion.
First, as to money The Alien
Property Custodian has seized all
that can be located, but there are
hundreds of millions that he has not
been able to touch. :.
This is not all. Evidence was
put before the Overman committee
recently that the subjects of the
Central Empires in this country
have been boarding savings ever
since the opportunity to send them
home was cut off, and that the Ger
man and Austrian bankers were
counting heavily on getting these
funds to use in starting the trade
war. These funds are estimated at
the tremendous total of a billion
and a half dollars.
There are even official German
and Austrian funds still in America.
Much of the money left by Bern
storff. Intelligence officers believe,
has neither been used nor seized
And as late as last August this
government came into possession of
report from the Commercial At
tache of Austria in a neutral coun-
try on the expenditure of Austrian
official funds in America, together
with promise for a statement of
the sums remaining at later date.
All these-something around two
billion dollars, are ready for Hun
ammunition.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.-Parties

ton, said tonight that Edward White,

Some americans
VIII Aid Enemy

Germany's third strength is in the
selfish interests of certain Amer
leans. The Alien Property Gus
todian has found that many of the
most dangerous enemy agents here,
in the business world, were of long
standing American parentage, often
not even of German blood. Not all
of these have been eliminated and
some are still known to be waiting
to make sure that it would not be
more worth their while to resume
their German connections than to
continue the loyal course into which
they have been forced. One such
man, who had worked himself into
a position where he thought he
would be able to hold up both Ger
many and America, has been cleverly
outgeneraled by the Alien Property
office, but he is still dangerous and
he is only one of several.
In similar class are many men
who expect the German commercial
invasion to win, and hope to share
the spoils. There are others who see
Germany and Britain as rivals on
American soil and will help Ger
many against our Ally. There are,
too, the men, many of them to-day
ignorant that they are serving Ger
many, who have made connections
with the German army camoufaged
under the colors of neutrals, as
already described.
And lastly, there are still German
concerns, both here and abroad,
which have been put under the cloak
of neutral, or even American, own
ership, and which are waiting the
safe and proper tine for retransfer.

Propaganda Machine
already Back at York

There are even German officials
German organization. The great
commercial machine has been
smashed and the propaganda ma
chine partly destroyed. But with
the signing of the armistice German
propaganda reappeared in wave
and has been going ever since.
With the ratification of the peace
treaty the hundreds Of German
agents who have been in internment
camps will be released. Some of
them, under present government
plans, will be deported. But many
will stay here, and it has never
been impossible for Germany to re-
place her agents here, even during
the war.
Not a German spy has been shot
or hung in America, and the sem
tences given even the biggest of
them, like Franz Won Rintelen, have
been only for year or two. The
German propaganda machine here,
and much of the commercial ~rgani-
z1a1lon, as distinct from the invested
concerns, will soon be intact and
running.
1t will have the old leaders. DR..
Albert, who conducted the propa-
ganda here till we entered the war,
has entered the German foreign
office, under the new government,
and 1t is officially stated that this
ss because of his familiarity with
the American situation. BcrnstorfY
and Dernburg are in places Of power
Tor the same reason, while the whole
asrnan home organization is filled
With men whose chief qualification
their supposed ability to "handle"
the American mind and psychology.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-03
Greatest Strength
Lies in Hyphenates

But Germany's greatest strength
here lies in the sympathy she will
still find among the 100000 men
and women Of Teutonic blood in
America. Her emigrants have al
ways been one of Germany's greatest
trade assets. Henri Hauser, the
great French. economist, whose
"Germany's Commercial Grip on the
World" is the standard work on
the German machine as it existed
when war broke out, says of the
hyphenates-
ut happened that Germany, on
the morrow Of her sudden indus
trialization, found in every corner
OF the globe groups of customers
ready to hand, speaking her Ian
guage, accustomed to her products,
fully disposed to sound her praises
abroad-ln short, armies of con-
sumers and commercial travellers.
Those spontaneous colo
MES have been an initial base Of
operation for German commerce.
The restoration Of German
CONSCIOUSNESS among these Ger
mans abroad has had COM
mercial consequences of incalcul-
able value"
1t is no reflection on the very
general and devoted loyalty which
the German-Americans showed dur
ing the war to say that the signing
Of the peace means a new attitude
to many Of them. Till America en-
tered the conflict the ties Of blood,
OF education and of interest in many
cases made them very generally
sympathetic with Germany and the

their affection to the people and

this has been true is. shown in the
attitude Of the German language

view of the German commercial in
vasion. Men who did not believe,
