TRONG words of praise and encouragement are due German- Americans in this country who are meeting the situation man- fully and with prompt recognition of their duty. In all parts of the nation Germanic citizens and residents declare their loyalty and draw closer to the land in which they have elected to live, | President Henry A. Weismann of the German-American Alliance | wadoubtedly speaks for thousands when he says: | I don’t think that any sensible man feels that the Ger- man Government js right. My friends and ! do not see how the President could have acted otherwise than he did We stand dehind him. The Baltimore German Correspondent was one of the first of the ‘Berman-American newspapers to point the way to its Teutonic readers | with simple directness and good faith: ¥ We came here to become citizens of tho United States of our own free will. We cut loose from the land where our cradle stood, took the oath of allegiance to the land of our selection. In this case our duties come first, no matter how much our hearts may bleed. Whoever now renounces the oath of allegiance which he took brings only disgrace to the land for, which his heart vleeds. Therefore, remember that the United States ts the land of the birth of our children and their children, while Germany is the land of our fathers. Here in the United States lies our { ; future. Let the past be a memory only. In his speech to Congress last Saturday the President made a dis-| tinction of deep significance. “We do not desire any hostile conflict! with the Imperial German Government,” he said. “We are the sincere} friends of the German people and earnestly desire to remain at peace _with the Government which speaks for them. We shall not belicve they are hostile to us unless and until we are obliged to believe it.” “We shall not believe THEY are hostile.” Upon the all-impor- tant question just how far the Imperial German Government actually represents the present feelings and instincts of the majority of German people and how much longer it will continue to represent them at all depends, of course, not only the future attitude of this country toward Germany but the duration of the war itself. ‘ Americans are more than ever convinced that it is the German) Government, not the German people, that must be held responsible for the lawless policies, the ruthless violation of pledges which have! made further friendship with Germany impossible. | It has become more and more clear to Americans, moreover, t!at| the dangerous propaganda, the hyphenate plots and conspiracies which! ‘menaced law and property in the United States during an car'ier) s» period of the war, were inspired and directed by the German Gov-} senernment, oi Since that Government was forced to give up its deliberate at- » tempts to carry on war from this country by dividing American al giance and disrupting American unjty, the United States has had com paratively little trouble with hyphenism and conspiracy In the present crisis the loyal behavior of German-Americans only confirms, therefore, the belief that most people of German blood who have chosen this country for their home can be,counted on to -. put its safety and honor above the ambitions of a militaristic dynasty which is bleeding the German Fatherland to exhaustion. The distinction between the German Government and the Qor- man people stands. The more it is recognized just now, the easior will it be for Germanic citizens of the United States to become whole- hearted Americans. | way should be paved with granite blocks or asphalt, along comes somebody and raises the question whether Broadway is going to be ready for a permanent pavement anyhow, It is pointed out that, pavements laid inside of three or four years following the completion of subway work have been known to settle “by whole blocks.” This is not cheering to property owners and business men who (fre looking forward to the day when Broadway shall become a civilized ‘thoroughfare again, Is it inevitable that, even with proper work from the bottom up, pavements over subways shall sink “by whole blocks at a time” for the first three years? Or is this only a result of methods peculiar to New York, whore! every contractor who has anything to do in the streets does it with! vealous disregard of every other contractor's prob'ems ? Tt wonld seem that somewhere in the world there might be experts capable of showing how Broadway could be put together and made a street again, with pavements that wouldn’t sag under traffic, and maybe with an underground gallery to carry the pipes and wires! the public service corporations now dig up whenever they feel like it.

The Egoist. ‘ . this color-scheme wonderful!” you exclaim rapturously, “Umm-m," he answers vaguely. “Who is that woman in the purplo hat?” “I can’t decide whether to hang my new living-room in old rose or peach,” you sigh. “Can't you?” be rejoins absently. “Speaking of peaches, I was looking at a new car to-day, and tt wag a wonder!” You wilt. He loses! Surely you have met him, dear lady. “He” i the EGOIST—the most trying, the most exasperating and perhaps, the most “misunderstood” man in the world And, alas! the world 1s full of him. Have you ever gazed soulfully into a man's eyes, fot five consecutive minutes, only to discover that he hag been looking straight through a transparent medium, composed of yous head and body, at something else across the room—or, worse still, searcly ing his own mind for an epigram? Have you ever gotten off a particularly | sparkling bon-mot, or finished telling a scintillating story, merely to find ‘that the man across the table has been patiently waiting for you to fints® speaking—Just as ho would walt for a train to go by—so that he can blow | his own little whistle? 166 Te is the Eoist! But do not confuse ht is hope for a mere egotist; he may som | spite of his egotism. He 1s his own electric sien, pross reprosentas | tive and full-page display. Ho needs an nudionce, and you are “It” But the Egoist may be the soul of modesty and shrinking timidity—yet no womag | will belfeve it. He may be a philosopher, a genius, a philanthroptet or | Apollo; but he ts never a woman charmer.” Ho is a blank failure with thé fair sex—and he never knows why. For, alas! he is so wrap* up in his owt mental processes that, as far as he is concerned, you are simply “not there Ho 1a go busy raking his mind for something brilliant to say that he doesn | even observe the sparks of wit which fly from yours, He merely skime th | surface of your “chatter,” and then joyfully springs something totally diss | connected with the conversation, and more often than not something whicd stings your vanity or strikes your enthusiasm dead with a single blow, He 1s SO clever, That ts the Egotst’s tragedy. He was born with his eyes turned inward and nothing on earth will ever turn them ont, And the more burningly anxious he is to make a hit or an impression the more irritatingly intros spective he becomes. Many an Egoist has consumed hours wondering what he could do to charm a woman, when all he needed to do was to give her a little personal attention and a glance of genuine interest. A whole evening | spent with an Egotst is exquisite torture; a whole lifetime spent with one must be—well, did any woman ever spend a whole lifetime with one? If the Egoist could simply forget HIMSELF long enough to think of | woman for ten consecutive minutes he might win in @ k.
