In .proceedmg to explode the “myth” of “millions of German:Amencaps wqu- ing tooth and nail for the fatherland,” the writer of thl_s a’x;tlcle says American Germans “constitute’ no po}xtxcal entity be- cause-they are divided among the democratic, republican and socialist ‘parties.. This writer, who'seems never to have heard of. our -vote-seeking politicians, or of such active societies as the German-American Alliance, goes on to show-that, beqaqse of their lack of unified action, their indifference :‘md,thelr ig- norance- of the English language, the: German- citizens-of this country are “practically without any mflueqce,” and there can be: no reasonahle expectation of any effective “‘Germanism in '‘American politics.” : The writer utterly fails to understand the power of Amer- jcanism to smash “Germanism” of the kind desired into smith- ereens. It does not occur to him that a majority or even a minority of the persons of German birth or near:descent might beceme genuine citizens of the great republic and place their|. allegiance thereto far:above. other claims. h right sggt of Americans of German birth or near descent will not like in an article otherwise pointed enough. ? : DISCOURTESY, IGNORANCE OF WHAT? “A. A. Farrington, of Duluth, orator of the day in Bemidji on the Fourth, met the same S / Bemidji, and that is thoughtlessness- or downright ignorance and discourtesy. > . The:speaking was in It was-the place selected by the committee. and it was exceedingly difficult-for the speaker to speak and for-many of ‘the big crowd to hear. But the worst -feature the court house- park: of it all.was:the senseless snorting of motors of autoists ‘who| drove-up and .then drowned out the voice of the distinguished Duluthan, much to his discomfort and tg the angry resentment of his auditors. > 5 : As we said, it'is nothing unusual and we.are truly sorry for Mr. Farrington.. . y ¢ ? 0 “MADE IN HELL,” NOT GERMANY NOW. The National Defense league, of which Theodore Roosevelt is honorary: president, is engaging in a nation-wide movement - agaimst the purchase of German-made goods. Its slogan is, “Turn Germany upside down, and.you will find ‘made in hell’ stamped -upon it.” Germany”'stamp. g We personally do not want to touch anything made in Germany even with a ten-foot pole. O ieim NEGRO: SOLDIERS MAKE GOOD SHOWING. Close to 157,00 negro soldiers are now in the national army. Of these 1,000 are line officials holding commissions of -captain-and first and second lieutenants. There are ap- proximately 250 negro ‘medical officers in the medical and dental reserve.corps.. The army now:includes two divisions of negro: troops,. commanded by Major General 'C. C. Ballou and Brigadier General Roy C. Hoffman. e A : —0 WAR: DEPARTMENT ANSWERS - QUESTION. In ‘response to inquiries the war department authorizes the.statement that there is no discrimination of any kind be- tween-soldiers who-are not citizens of the United States and the native born -or naturalized citizens in the American army, excepting that .the former cannot hold commisgions. In all other respects—care, attention, privileges, etc.—they are all on thessame: footing. — 0 The . war bills of England and America are met by ap-|- propriations made: by parliament and congress respectively.

E COATPILOT” There never-was a story. ; z with a more charming star, " a more: tender. appealing story, and a more steady grip of suspense:than this. Food Administrator recommended by Mr. Hoover and appointed by the President. What is the meaning of the term “decentralized”? 3 i i ‘Removing some of the functions ! of an organization from the central guthority to local authorities. . Why can not all administrative work be done_in Washington? Because the state laws and‘local conditions vary so greatly; but the . central authority remains there T and all policies are decided by the United States Food Adminis- tration How is the work in each. state decentralized? g Through the appointment by its Federal ‘Food -Administrator of a county. cha’rman- or administrator for each county. What assistants has the Federal Food Administrator. in his work? State and county administrators are aided by home economic di- rectors; by merchant representa- tiver, who look after the stores; . by hotel chairmen, who supervise hotels and restaurants; by library directors, who render service through 'the public librar‘es; by educational directors. . Do the Federal Food Adminis trators of the various .states keep in touch with the United States Food Administration in Waching- ton? Yes. 14, How? t By frequent conference and con- stant - interchange of information relating to_ national policies and | “local“condit{ons. 15. What salaries are recefved by the United States Food Administrator and the Federal Food Adminis- trators of the different states? They recelve no salariec; they give their services to the govern- ment. Why -does the Food Administra- tion seem-to change its policy in many of “its rulings? Because, although the purpose remains the same, new factors constantly arise in our precent disturbed condition which make necessary a readustment of meth- od and policy to -that purpose.
