A LETTER FROM ENGLAND
Somewhere in England,
Sunday evening, May 12,18
My dear Mother: i
Altho I just wrote you day-j
before yesterday, I am going toj
write you again this evening,
for this is Mothers day. I had
not thought of it until yesterday
one of our officers informed ns
that today would be Mothers
day, and requested each of us
to remember our Mothers with
a letter, to show our love and
appreciation toour dear Mothers
backk home who remember us
in their many prayers.
Mother, it <nakes me thankful
in my heart that I have a
Mother to write on this Mothers
day.there is so many of the boys
that are not sofortunate. 11
have been thinking of you all
day. it seems that you have been
nearer tome today than ever
before in my life,It seems that
Army life would be twice as
hard if I didn,t have a Mother
back home who I knew is always
thinking of me, and will stick
to me through thick or thin. A
j year ago I never thought that
! so soon I would be so far from
I you, but still we can never tell i
what is in the future for us,|
and no doubt it is all for thej
best. Ifeel that before very
many months I will be back
with you. and the day I return
will be the happiest day of mv
life, But before we return we
must complete our task, there ts
no doubt in my mind but tnat
we are fighting for a just
cause, and as long as we are do-
ing that we are bound to win.
1 am feeling fine today, of
course I get pretty lonesome on
Sundays, it is hard to get used
to spending Sunday and Sunday
night in Camps, as Sunday
might is the night we always
counted on going to see our b?st
girls and have some real tvijoy-
ment. But I am getting along
fine and have no room to com-
plain.
Your loving son, who thinks of
you every hour,

HOW THE KAISER
READS THE PSALM
1. The Lord is my own par-
ticular German shepherd; I shall
not want, though a few of my
subjects suffer temporary in-
conveniences.
2 He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures, formerly the
property of Belgium* France,
Roumania, Russia and Serbia,
but now my own, because I have
been allowed to lie there. He
leadeth me beside the still water
of the Dardanelles, which I will
keep forever after.
3 He restoreth my soul, but
says nothing aboijt restoring
the devastated portions of
France, Belguim, and Serbia, so
I Can't be expected to do it. He
leadeth me in the paths of right-
eousness for His name's sake,
thus showing that those who con
aider my glourious deeds to be
wrong are hopeless idiots. If
He leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness, there can be noth
ing wrong in killing women and
children and encouraging my
brave troops to acts of frightful-
ness in order to make my
enemies respect me.
4 Yea, though I walk throu
the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil, for
thou art with me. Thy staff
they comfort me, and my mail-
ed fist andd my shining swor
do the rest.
5 Thou preparest a table be-
fore me in the presence of mine
enemies by giving me the Rus-
sian wheat fields through the
folly of the bolsheviki; Thou
anointest my head with oil bj
giving me the Roumanian oil
wells; my cup runneth over,
though not as much as it will
when I have imposed my will on
the foul and traitorous Ameri-
cans.
6 Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the
days of my life, and I will dwell
in the house of the Lord forever.
If I find anyone else trying to
crowd in with me; I'll use any
influence to have him sunk with-
out trace.

the evidence oat
yoa may decide
whether or not Germany planned to up-
set onr institutions, oar ideals, oar very
node at lite.
In 3001 the National German-Ameri-
can alliance was formed In the United
States. In 1907 it was incorporated
by act of congress. Its charter Is
now being attacked in that same body.
One of the objects of the alliance, as
officially announced, was "to check na-
Ovistic encroachments." In other
words, to keep the Germans from be-
coming Americans. Another object
was "to awaken and strengthen the
sense of nnlty among the people of
German origin In America."
"This alliance," its preliminary
statement of aims concludes, "is
pledged to bring Its entire organisa-
tion to the support of any state fed-
eration which Is engaged in the strug-
gle for any of these objects."
It was pledged, in other words, to
have Its members vote, not as individ-
uals, bat as German controlled units,
for or against nothing of which
they did not approve.
The desire for resisting "natiTlstic
encroachments," was particularly ab-
horrent to American ideals, because
the effort In this country has always
been to keep politics free from racial
or religious influences. Tet here was
a body, proclaiming Itself German In
origin and thought, seeking to perpetu-
ate this German feeling lb the midst
of America. • - • \ ' >
From Its very start the alliance
sought to foment discord with England.
It always spoke of the American press
as "the Anglo-American" press, and It
carried oat a long and well-directed
Campaign for the introduction of the
German language Into the schodls and
Its use I9 ciril life. a
•The National Alliance," according
to an Issue of Its official Bulletin be-
fore this nation entered the war, "is
waging war agpdnst Anglo-Saxonlsm,
against the fanatical enemies ol per-
sonal liberty and political freedom, it I
is combating parrow-minded, benight- ,
ed know-nofhlngism, "tKe Influence of (
the British, and the enstyvfnir Puritan-
ism, which had Its birtlt in England."
"The race war which we will be
compelled to go through with on Amer-
ican soil will be our wotfd war," said
the New York Staats Zdtung in fight-
ing a proposal to amend the New York
constitution to make ability to speak
and write the English language a
requisite for suffrage.
Ludwig Fulda wrote j^book, "Amer-
ican Impressions." T|ey were Im-
pressions of a German who had stud-
led this nation with a view to seeing
It ultimately Germanized. "German-
Ization is synonymous with causing to
spenk German," he said, "and speak-
ing German means to remain German."
Wherever there were signs of dis-
content, of a movement which might
tend to dlsrnpt this country, or any
other which Germany might find as a
commercial rival, the German-Ameri-
can alliance was sure to be on the
job. It gave support to the Irish*
American societies, because these soci-
eties, before the war, were working for
the separation of Ireland from Eng-
land, a matter In which Germany, at
that time, could have no legitimate
Interest But Germany, even then,
was preparing for war, and was doing
every possible thing to weaken Its
coming enemies. A disorganized
America, one filled with German re<
eervists, would be In no position to'
side with her enemies. Germany fig-
ured. On this subject the much-quoted
Bernhardt wrote:
"Measures must be taken at least
to the extent of providing that th« |
German element Is not split up in the
world, but remains united In compact
blocks, and thus forms, even In fot>;
eign countries, political centers oi
gravity In our favor. The Isolated
groups of Germans abroad greatly ben-
efit our trade, since by preference they
obtain goods from Germany; bat they
may also be useful to us .politically, al
we discover In America. The Germa
Americana have formed a political al
Uance with the Irish; and, thu^
united, constitute a power in the stats
with which the American government'
must reckon."- 1
With the outbreak of the war in E
rope the actions of the German-Ame*
lean alliance became bolder. The cam
palgn for membership took on nen
vigor.
Can we talk of peace with a Ger
many, that, even la times of peace, li
trying to disorganise our country, t
ment strife, and destroy pur unity,
simply because a strong, united natlos
on the other side of the world is noi
German f Can we make peace with $
country that fills our land with palt
emissaries in an effort \p make Its
language supplant our own? Can w«
talk of peace while a government thai
considers the world Its prey
