SINCERE LOYALTY TO UNITED STATES.
Everyone will admit that a vast majority of the people of
German parentage or ancestry, who are residents of this country,
are ungrudgingly loyal to the United States. Undoubtedly a large
number of them came to this country to escape the burdens of
Prussian militarism. Among the various reasons why our so
called German-Americans are so thoroughly loyal to the land of
their adoption several are set forth very clearly by Frank C.
Hesse, of Astoria. In a long letter in last Saturday's Portland
Telegram, which he addressed "to my fellow citizens of German
extraction," he says:
"Like Hercules, we German-Americans are standing today
at the parting of the ways. The land of our birth, and the coun
try which we have made our home by choice, have been drawn
into the maelstrom of the bloody conflict of the world war and we
German-Americans are today confronted with the ditlicult task of
deciding to whom we shall throw our support. Jn my humble
opinion there is but one conclusion to be drawn, and that is to
stand with America, and behind America to the utmost of our
abilities- In arriving at this conclusion, 1 beg oi you to remember
the various motives which caused us, or our lorelathers, to leave
the country of our birth and become citizens of this great nation
"Some of us came to avoid military service, and upon arriv
ing here, were not forced to devote from two to three years of the
most valuable period ol our lives to compulsory military service.
"Some of us came, starving and hungry as a result of the
over-population of our native country and compelled to emigrate
by its concomitant conditions, entered the government service, the
professions, went into business of our own, and the American pub
lic supported us heartily. Some of us came, tired of the class caste
and class distinction and the attending prerogatives and privileges
prevailing in the country of our birth, and upon arriving here, we
found a free land, where everybody, including ourselves, had equal
rights.
"Some of us came, tired and disgusted of the bare and meager
existence and livelihood which we were only able to earn in the
fatherland, in spite of incessant hard work and endurance. Upon
settling here, some of us have become rich, the greatest majority
of us have amassed a comfortable fortune, and all of us have at
least earned an abundant living.
"Some of us came because all of the real properly of the
country of our birth was in the possession and tenure of aristo
cratic landowners, who held their possessions either at exorbitant
prices, or would not sell at all. America received us with open
arms, took us, like a compassionate mother, to her bosom, allowed
us to share in the taking up of the public domain, resulting in the
acquisition by thousands of us, of some of the most valuable land
of this hemisphere. Some of us came thoroughly disgusted with
German conditions and after settling here and becoming acquaint
ed with American habits and conditions of living are now receiv
ing the protection of this government and the privileges and im
munities of the rest of its citizens, and are settled and satisfied.
"Brethren, avarice is the root of all evil, but ingratitude is
ten thousand times worse than that, and is the worst of all crimes.
For no other reasou but gratitude should we stand behind this
government. l!ut there is another reason. When we applied to
become and when we became citiens of this great country we ren
dered and subscribed to a solemn oath renouncing all political al
legiance to the emperor of Germany, and to our native country
and pledging our support to this government. Those are the con
ditions upon which we were allowed to become citizens. Jn our
native language we say, "A man a word," the meaning of which
is well understood by you, and 1 feel that we are in duty and honor
bound to remain faithful to our oath.
"You and I will see the time, and the time is not verv far off,

birth, will be republics, will adhere to the principles of a govern
ment "of the people, by the people and for the people," and Ameri
ca will lead them all. It will be American freedom, American
principles, American policies they will all strive to obtain. Each
of you is entitled to your private opinion, but matters having
come to a climax and having compelled this government to arrive
at a definite decision, I feel that all of your personal opinions
should step into the background and we should stand as one be
hind this goverymcnt.
"It cannot be denied that England, France, Germany, in fact
all the nations involved in this bloody war, have violated interna
tional laws. Germany, however, has been guilty of the severest
violations- The ocean since time immemorial has been the open
highway of commerce and traffic of the who'" world, and no na
tion has the right to sink, capture or blow up vessels of neutral
nations engaged in peaceful commerce without warning. Germany
has done so not only once or ten times, but hundreds of times. She
has done so after this government strenuously objected and pro
tested against such practice. She has done so after she solemnly
declared, after the sinking of the Ltisitania, to abstain from such
conduct in the future. She has done so without distinction as to
the ship's errand, cargo or nationality. She has sunk Belgian re
lief ships and hospital ships. The consequence must, therefore,
fall upon Germany, and upon Germany alone, and although all of
us may be in sympathy with Germany's plight, with her valour,
her superelficiency, her admirable sacrifices, her marvelous re
sourcefulness, affairs have come to an open break between the
country of our birth and the country of our home, I maintain that
we have no longer the right to voice our private opinions and svm
pathies, but we should assure the United States of our'loyalty".
"1 am of the firm opinion that by far the greatest majority of
the German-Americans are on the side of the American govern
ment in this conflict. It is only a small number in comparison
w ith the entire number of German-Americans only a handful
who raise their voices against the action of the American govern
ment, and who ruthlessly, wilfully, unlawfully, with bombs, tlvtia
rnite and other means, have destroyed and threaten to destroy
American lives, property, American ships. American means of de-
iense, or who nave dealt

county health officer, was called to
examine the patient, who is the four

Dr. Ilouck said that the child had
just developed the measles Tuesday
morning, although she had been sick
for several days.
Afler some discussion, it was de
cided to isolate the patient in the

TAKEN FROM WINDOWS
An order came to the office of the
Postal Telegraph Company in this
city yesterday from headquarters to
