of the papal effort to bring about peace, and greeting
"with special sympathy the leading idea of the peace ap
peal," embodying the papal conviction "that the material
power of arms, must be suppressed by the moral power of
right" a hypocritical' statement contradicted by every
fcet of German autocracy, since it deliberately brought on
i war of conquest in which it still violates every law of
uou ana man. - .
German autocracy now poses as the champion of moral
right over armed might, when German philosophy and
German ideals preach that might is right. Germany is as
cincere in its protestations of morality as she was when

Duty of German-Americans to Germany
Hy (1 iisla v us Ohlinger of tho Vigi
lantes. - i
"To speak German m to remain
German; to cause olhorH to speak
German is to make them into Ger
mans," -
In this way Lmlwii? Fuliln, one of
the most, prominent of modern Ger
man , playwrights and journaliKts,
summarized his observations in the
United Stales. That he was giviin:
expression (o moro than merely per
sona! opinion is evidenced by tho
stern measures adopted by Germany
for the purposo of establishing (lie
use of Gonnnn in tho Polish prov
inces and in Alsnee by tho decrees
which forbade French pven on signs
and on tombstones and tho orders
milking it a erinio to impart religious
instruction in tho Polish tongue.
Tho propaganda for tho Gonnnn
language has always been a well-recognized
phase of imperial Kulturpol-
llik, It was regarded us an impor
tant means for establishing German
influence in foreign lands, for under
mining national unity, nnd for keep
ing German immigrants in solid
blocks wheh could bo used as con
venient inukc-weights in favor of
German policies. As one of the lead
ers in the Pan-German movement ex
pressed it years ago, "the importance
of Germany in the future will depend
on I wo things first, the number of
persons who are politically subject to
the empire, and, second, the number
of those Ihruout the world who speak
I he German language. '
Mint the kaiser's sympathizers in
the United Stales hnvo taken this
course to heart is borne out liv the
vigorous efforts which havo been
made to establish (he German Inn-
gunge in our public schools ever since
the Pnu-Gei-man idea came to nclive
consciousness here some twenty
years ago. During this period the
number of high school pupils taking
instruction in German has risen from
8,ntl(l to 312,000. Even more mark
ed has been the increase in this di
rection in the grade schools.
Now that the events of the last few
months have taught Americans to
look upon this apparently innocent
educational movement ill tho same
light in which it lias always lawn held
by Germans both here nud in Ger
many, it is small wonder that they
will have none of it. German language
instruction has been abolished in nil
the grade schools of Toledo ; in Clev
eland it has been eliminated from the
first four grades; in Ualtimore from
ill the grades; in Milwaukee Ameri
can children will no longer have the
mlwintiigc of a bi-lingnal education
in the first and second grades, and
even Chicago has torn from its spell
ing books the nauseous adulation of
the kaiser which the exponents of
I all-German policies had caused to
be inserted.
i'hal this aversion for evervthiuc
German will he intensified with time
is iuc itablc. The danger is that it
will attach too much thai is admirable
and that we could adopt with advan
tage. Our civilization will thereby be
made the pooler. One of the great
tragedies, of the war is that the evil

provoke tho loathing of tho world.
Those onsequcne,es nan in some

German birth. It rests with them to
.prove to us and to tho world thnt a
wide eluisiu separates the Gcrninny
of Schiller, Goethe and Lessing from
tho monster state created by tho Ho
henzollerns nnd their servants; that
the genius that peopled the woods
and dales with tho fairies of child
hood had nothing in common with
the demon that ravaged Belgium,
France and Poland; that the German
spirit is indeed free nnd not sunk in
hopeless servility to unworthy mas
tors. Hut not by lukewar niallegiiince
to our country, not by half-hearted
support of our cause, not by carping
criticism of things American, not by
secret gratification over tho reverses
of our allies, can they bring this
about. The Turnvoroin, the I.ieder

all bo forgotten. Tlieptory of Amer
ican liberty, from its foundations in
Magna Carta, to the present time,
must displace all these as the subject
of their propaganda; everything that
will contribute to our overwhelming
victory must he tho object of their
activity. Thru such men, after the
vyar, will the benefits of Gorman

odium which the llohenzollcrn dyn

ALL HE HAS TO DO
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 When

home, Wilhelm August Ferdinand
Ekengren is going to be the busy lit
tle Swedish diplomat.
In tho first place, while he was en
joying a perfectly nice vacation tho
American government heartlessly re
vealed that the Swedish minister to
Argentina had forgotten his neutral
ity. He had forwarded to Berlin for
the German "Icgntion in Buenos Aires
some cablegrams advocating German,
ruthlcssness to Argentine ships and
characterizing tlio head, of Argen
tina's foreign department us "notor

He will want to, know why that ac

things to be inferred us to our eouu

ernment. Also and this is highly impor
tant he will wunt to, find out
whether America, uniting with Great
Brituin and France, is going here
after to refuse ambassadors from
neutral countries the right to send
from here cables in code. So far the
state deepartnient has failed Jo re

Ekengren is an oh hand in this

again in 1902. , Before that he had
served as consul in various. French
cities and after that had a tour. of
duty in the foreign office at home.
lie came back here in 190G as
secretary of the Swedish legation and
was advanced to counsellor in 1910.
Five years ago he was made minister
from Sweden to the United States.
; lie is the kind of man concerning
whom few anecdotes are told. While
he belongs to the swell Washington
clubs, he does not often appear
there. He is more of a student than
an outdoor man and has not tho pine

SOUTH FIR ST. MEDFORD,
LONDON, Sept. 22.. The Incom
plete 'parts of the reply of Germany
and Austria to Pope Benedicts' peace
plea, which arrived before press tlmo
are given prominence by the morn
ing newspapers.
i The Dally Mall characterizes the
Austrian reply as "a vague docu
ment" and comments on "the new
moves in the peace plot" in which it
says: .
"We are told that the German gov
ernments are arranging tef ms with
Spain. The allies' peace condition
stand on record. Germany has not
as yet the slightest Intention of ac
cepting them. From them the allies
will never recede." ' I
The Graphic declares:
"Since no high expectations were
felt In this country upon the answer
the .central powers would make to
the pope, there can.be no disappoint
ment at the terms of the documents
which reached London last night.
Meanwhile President Wilson must
surely.be disillusioned as to the dis
tinction between the German govern
ment an'd the German people. The
real hopes of-the allies does not lie
is a divided Germany, nor In papal
notes, but in relentless blows on the
German armies such as Sir Douglas
Uaig has Just delivered."
i The Chronicle says that It Is Im
possible to suspect the earnestness
of the Austrian emperor's reply, ad
ding: i "Sincerity breathes thru every
part of this remarkable utterance."
