The Penn's Grove record., 1919-12-26
Two Kinds of Germans

In another column is an article
wherein it is stated that Ferdinand
Hansen, a German, is carrying on a
German propaganda against the
United States and a proposal to m
peach President Woodrow Wilson.
Mr.. Hansen has carried on the cavla
business in Hamburg, New York City,
and Backu in Russia on the Caspian
Sea for years. His name is familiar
in Penns Grove where caviar has been
sent for years from the Caspian Sea
to be put into sealed alright packages
for preservation, because a native of
Penns Grove has a secret process OF
his own.
The business sagacity, enterprise
and ability of Mr.. Hansen to make
useful to mankind natures products is
commendable. His international deal
ings on a benevolent peace basis are
praiseworthy, but his political ideas
and principles that the Kaiser and his
system should rule the world has been
exploded and he does not know it.
The Kaiser and his army trained
for a generation failed to crush France
and Great Britain and force tribute
from America for making powder,
shot and shells to kill Germans, with
Ferdinand Hansen's political ideas.
There are others in the United States
who would impeach President Wood
row Wilson besides the pro-Germans
and the Pan-Germans. He has not
been ~impeached nor killed yet, be-
cause he would have a just peace and
made lasting by the united forces of
the thirty Allies in the League OF
Nations, but the Kaiser and Emperor
Charles of Austria have been I'M
peached by Woodrow Wilson's pen
and driven from their thrones, not by
invading armies nor physical force
but by the moral of Wilson's pen with
fourteen points.
While Ferdinand Hansen's political
boss and ruler has fallen, yet the Ger
mar propagandists continue with us.
That is the political, physical and
financial force largely back of the
propagandists that would impeach
President Wilson.
The Americanized Germans
Over fifty years ago a German came
to Penns Grove and utilized the great
wealth of sturgeon in the Delaware
for food purposes, which went to
waste when they were fed to hogs
and ducks. That German became an
American citizen. His descendants
inter-married with the children of old
residents and all are good American
citizens.
Another German came more than
sixty year ago.He had been a mem
Der of the Prussian guards because he
was one of superior physical fitness.
He raised an estimable family, also
who inter-married and became loyal
Americans.
Other Germans came over sixty
years ago. They worked hard to
make the land more fertile and pro-
ductive. Their descendants inter-
married with the children of old resi-
dents and all because of the warp and
wool of strong American industry and
good American society.
The Kaiser and Ferdinand Hansen
have the political idea that all the
Germans and their descendants should
be a part of the Kaiser's empire and
pay tribute to Berlin. If Mr.. Hansen
made a mar rich and furnished en-
ployment in business in Penns Grove
they should have his political ideas
and pay taxes to Berlin, is the Pro
and Pan-German idea.
Mr.. Hansen has lived in New York
City and done business for many
years, but he is a political bone-head
which needs a crack so that American
ideas can trickle thru and not think he
can convert Penns Grove business men
with trade ability and secrets to Pam
Germanism by a personal exhibition
of his fallen god, stabbed to death
with Woodrow Wilson's pen with four
teen points.
Beware of German propaganda
against President Wilson who is the
typical American of his age.
