St. Louis, April 26.—The German news
papers publishers of Missouri held a me.
Ing hero today for the purposefof defln
Ing their position regarding the new po-
Jicy of "Imperialism and mllltarylsm."
Dr. Emfil Preotorlus, editor of the West.
Jiche Post, and the Nestor of the German
press of America, presided, and after a
lengthy discussion, the following reso,
lutlons were adopted:
1. Systematic and uninterrupted efforts
have been made during the past 12 months
to destroy by misrepresentations and
founded sensations me good feeling and
and the old historical friendship between
the United States and Germany. Thesa
malarious Intentions have created
among the German.American population
the greatest Indignation. We therefore,
regard It our duty as loyal citizens to
denounce these continued falsehoods and
misrepresentations, which endanger the
old friendship of th.e two countries.
2. Tiie friendship between the United
States and Germany la an old as the his.
tnry of the great-American republic and
ha* lasted uninterrupted. As the govern-
ment of frederick the Great was the
first European power which asknowledg
ed the young republic of tho United
States, ui'immiy was ihe first to ackt. >w-
ledge the supremacy of the United States
In tho Philippines. This fact alone proves
plainly that Germany has no unfriendly
Intentions and no desire to oppose us in
the Orient.
3. In the glorious history of the Unit-
ed States from the time at Washington to
•the days of the civil war, the German.
American population has shown strong
and patriotic loyally to the union. In the
darkest days of the republic the German
American Mood firm and true by the un_
Jon, as they will do in tho future.
German.Americans and the Germans in
the old country have been cruelly mis-
represented. We proved our layatty dur-
ing the. past war and will continue to
prove It, Whatever the future may bring.
Hut we protest most emphatically against
all falsehoods and intrigues which are in.
tended to interrupt in the interest of
England tho friendship between the Unit-
ed States and eGrmany.
4. Truo to the constitution and tradi.
Uons of the republic, wo take a firm
Irtand against militarism and Imperialism
knowing that the German.American citi-
zens stand almost unanimously against
this neM course which would endanger
the welfare and tho future of the- repub.
