The following letter was found in a German dug-out. Beyond this guaran tee of Its genuineness It calls for no; comment: Dear Boy, I cannot tell you tiow sorry I am that you, too. are' being led to the slaughter bench, but I ha-e sworn that should misfortune overtake you I will take revenge on the dogs that have let you in for this. The cowardly capitalist party is terribly afraid of a revolution, which will come for certain as soon as the war ends, if no before.

In St. Louis a German language weekly is being published which bears th? innocent-sounding title "Der Herold des Glaubens." It is a religions weekly, but nevertheless its innocence is only skin deep. Actually, it is a virulent fighter for the kaiser. As such, it is more cleverly edited than it? esteemed contemporaries in Prussia; for whereas the editors of the Prussian papers have again and again shown absolute ignorance of American psychology, the editor of "Der Herold d-s Glaubens" evidently knows the- prejurices of the people whom he is aadressing. lie knows that, thanks to our blatant and spread-eagle school histories there is still in this country considerable prejudice against England. This prejudice has, of course, .been fostefVd by certain of the Irish and, during the past fifteen years, and especially during the past three ye-s. by the Germans' and

' s. V uugw.. t,.a

German-Americans. Th editor of "Der Herold. des Glaumens" knows that no direct attack by him on the United States would be tolerated, so he, strikes at America indirectly by playing on th'e ancient prejudice against England. Here is a quotation from this "religious" publication: "The st.'ite department assures us that the Germans are making awful trouble in South America. We daresay, however, that they have probably not gone to the extremes to which the Britishers and the Americans have gone in I'hina. It is meanwhile being pointed out with regret that internal disturbances will probably postpone the entrance of China into the war indefinitely. The P.rttish and the American ministers should be sent home as incompetent since they are unable to accomplish, anything beyond sowing discord in the Celestial Empire." Here is another: "It is childish on the part of the American press to attempt to inject into the people the fear that the wicked Germans intend to come to America and ravage the country. In the first place, the Germans could not do it if they wanted to and would not want to if do it even if they could. The intent, of course, is to create a war-like feeling ! s?ainst America's 'enemy.' Meanwhile, j Uie actual hereditary enemy of America j is taken into our arms as an ally and helped with all our energy to attain her aims. And these aims are by no means friendly to America." Here is a further editorial note about England : "The 'sturdy Britishers' are keeping this so-called 'free America' enslaved. The black-list against American business firms is still in force" e.ven though it is said of f fciallhat it has been annulled, and no American firm 13 allowed to ship anything on an American ship to a neutral country unless a British consul has first given ..,s consent. When will congress, which so eagerly declared the existence of a state of war with Germany, liberate us rom these chains of slavery?" Here is one more: "It is abominable shame that England is allowed systematically to suppress news and reports in this country, partly with the aid of the dirty British gold which cemtrols the rress o,f the United States and partly because British censorship suppresses all news which might harm the allies and allows only such matter to reach the United States iv...eh chows the allies in a favorahk- light. Even Hobson, the "Hero of Manila" (sic), admits that since the begin. .ing of of the war the British censors have robbed the United States of ail the true Hammond, Ind.

facts. If congress should now decide likewise to have an American censorship, no one; will be able in future to read a single true word concerning what is going on at the front." . The foregoing quotations give an excellent idea of the temper of thi3 socalled "religious" weekly. But they do more than that. They give at the same time an excellent idea of the temper of all the German language newspapers which the present writer has examined. In all of them is the same baiting of England, the same contemptuous references to the Uniteel States government, the same absence of censure of the German government. The "Herold des Glaubens" is doing excellent work for the kaiser. It i3 helping1 to cultivate the delusion that our enemy is not Germany, but England. It is doing all it can to keep the American people from entering whole-heartedly into the war which their nation is waging to 'nd autocracy and to create a better trorld order. There is no room in the United States at this time for a paper printing sentiments such as those quoted above. The United States is engaged in a desperate war. the outcome of which is Ktill uncertain. To allow such poison to be sold and sent through the United States mails while we are fighting possibly for our very existence, is worse than foolish. It Is criminal. The government should take one of two actions in regard to "Der Herold des Glaubens." It should stipulate that this religious weekly stick to religion and avoid any and every reference to politics and international relations or it should forbid the paper the use of the United States matl3. 1 RO BERT vSD ALE i, : , Mrs. Hartman and brothers.
