LOUIS, Oct. 6—Germans from all parts of America assembled on the World’s Fair grounds to-day to cele- brate German day in commemoration of the landing of the first Germans on | American soll on October 6, 1693. The German-American National Fed- cration was well represented. as was thé National Federation of German Singing Socleties, and the National As- sociation of the Veterans of the Ger- man army and navy. The principal exercises of the day were held on the plaza of St. Louls, comprising exhibits in cailsthenics and | gymnastics. At the conclusion all joined in singing the hymns of the | fatherland and concluded with the | “Star Spangled Banner.” | Later exercises were held at the Ger- | man National Pavilion, where address- | es were delivered by Dr. Emil Pretori- us of St. Louls, the Nestor of the Ger- man-American press; Baron von Stern- berg, the German Embassador; Dr. Theodore Lewald, the Imperial Ger- man commissioner; Hon. Carl Schurz and others. MESSAGE FROM EMPEROR. Baron Speck von Sternberg was in- troduced by Dr. Emil Pretorius and spoke in part as follows: America owes her astonishing rise in a large measure to German virtues, as frequently an- nounced from the lips of America’s foremost men You are all aware of the warm interest the German Emperor takes in your life and doings. The splendid monument of German accomplish- ment_and knowledge created by him shines as one of the principal gems among the dazzling treasures of tais exhibiticn. It proclaims that both the German Fatherland and your Ameri- can adopted country have produced similar great things in their astonishing development. His Majesty the Emperor requested me to announce the foliowing message: “I convey my imperial greetings and com- gratulations to tho: dauntless citizens of America whose wish it has been that the World's Fair at St. Louls should not pass by without the celebration of a German day. “‘May this glorious day bé celebrated in un- marred rejoicings and stand as a worthy testi- monial of the important part played by thé German emigrant in the wonderful develop- ment of the great transatlantic republic. LLIAM, 1. R. “Rominten, Oct. 6, 1904 FRIENDSHIP OF GERMAN Carl Schurz was then introduced and spoke in part as follows: Gernian day in the United States is the cele- bration of the friendship of the German and | American people. We German-Americans are the hyphen between Germany and Amerlca; | we present the living demonstration of the fact that a large population may be trans- planted to another country and may be devoted | to the new fatherland for life and death, and | yet preserve a reverent love for the old. We are the embodiment of a necessary peace and friendship between the two nations. No_interest in friendship could be more natural than that between Germany and the United States. They are tied together by the bonds of kinship and Germanic spirit. and also by the complete absence of a conflict of,| great interests that might divide them. In- deed, I challenge any one to show me a single point in which the interests of the two coun- tries, or even their legitimate ambitions are hostile to one another. There Is no such point to-be found, absolutely none. What couid there be then that might trans- form the friendship of these two nations into hostility? I am well aware of the efforts that are being made to goad: them against each other. I have heard peovle say that Germany and this republic, which are both now expanding with ambitious new navies, with or without cause, zome day will have to measure their strength on the so-caMed fleld of honor, and that on both sides adventuresome heads among the nuvy officers are busylng themselves to think out the plans and preparations for this struggle. What are we to think, that war is only a spot like a football game between muscular uni- versity societies? Whenever a man expresses such principles every honest boot should lift itselt to kick him out of the soclety of civil- ized men. Whenever any ome comes to you with the old, long contradicted story that German officers are traveling through the coun- try as sples, I pray you tell nim boldly to his face that either he has himself invented such lles or that he is engaged in circulating the lies of others. —————— RECEIVERS APPOINTED FOR A COTTON CONCERN Alabama Company Is Financially Em- barrassed Through Failure of Another Corporation.
