WILSON AFFIRMS CONFIDENCE IN GERMANS IN U.S.

Says He Believes in the Loyalty and Integrity of Germans.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. President Wilson, la a letter to Representative Dyer of Missouri, today reiterated his confidence in the loyalty of the great body of American citizens of German blood. Representative Dyer complained that federal officials had discharged without healing and simply on statements or affidavits, citizens of German blood In St. Louis whose loyalty had been questioned and that government officials there In assuming the attitude i of determining what is patriotism had 'Insulted some of the best people in the city simply because of their Ger- ' man forefathers. Veteran Is Fired. Otto Sassmann of St. Louis, for. sixteen years a railway mail clerlr with a clean record, a Spanish -American war veteran, who had subscribed for ' liberty loan bonds, contributed . to the American Red Cross funds and had flown the stars and stripes over his house ever since the war with Germany was declared, Mr. Dyer said, was discharged for disloyalty without notice and has yet to learn what his disloyalty consists of. "Tour letters have struck a responsive chord in my mind," the president wrote. "I have been made aware from various sources of the unfortunate position in which a very large number of our loyal fellow citizens are placed because of their German origin or affiliations. "I am sure that they need no fur;ther assurance- from me of my confidence in the entire integrity and loyalty of the great body of our citizens i of German blood. You know that not once, but many times in my public I addresses I have expressed this con- ' fidence. I do not like to make an- ' other occasion to express it simply I because it would seem to indicate on my part a doubt as to whether the (country had believed my previous 'assurances to be sincere."

GREAT LAKES, 111., Aug. 4 "Music hath power." Among other things to train voices for commands. At least this is the belief cf J. M. Maurice, bandmaster of the United States Naval Training Station here, and upon this theory he holds a regular singing school for bluejackets at the station. It is proverbial of course, that the bluejackets in Uncle Sam's Navy always have a song on their lips no matter what their work may be. There are songs for every occasion, and others for no particular occasion at all. That these all may be as musical as possible is one of the efforts being made by the station singing school. Never is "S-w-e-e-t A-d-e-l-i-n-e" so soulfully rendered as by some thousands of Uncle Sam's nephews now in training at Great Lakes, and especially when a dozen or more bluejackets stringed bands play the accompaniment. Musicians Are Welcomed. Every company of recruits has its own quota of songsters and musicians. A new man with a nack of picking a stringed instrument or with an exceptional voice, never lacks a welcome in the service. It is in the evening, as the night breezes from Lake Michigan begin to

blow, that these sessions of the singing school are held that the bluejackets "break out" their ukeleles, mandolins, and guitars and make their way to the natural amphitheatre in the ravine northwest of the station, to life their voices in song. To a visitor approaching within a half mile of the ravine the impression g'.ven is that the young men are trying their lungs on songs they all know, and after singing a verse or two expressing appreciation or adverse criticism in yells which have been said to resemble that of the southern troops in the Civil war. Apparently the tun-ing-up number at the singing school is "My Old Kentucky Home," for it is with this selection that a session always begins. Then comes "Sweet Adeline," or any one of a hundred sentimental numbers. Thoughts of Girl. Perhaps it is the thought of "Adeline" back on the farm in Nebraska, or in her apartment in one of Chicago's suburbs, or working for the Navy Relief Society in Kansas City, that makes the singing more harmonious. Or, again, it may be that the blue-

Jackets are of the age at which "Ade

line appeals most strongly, in which case they can be compared with 'Bay

ard Taylors "men from the Severn and from Clyde and from the banks of Shannon," who rang on the eve of battle in the Crimean war. Then "Each heart pronounced a different name. But all sang Annie Laurie." At any rate there are always songs

in the air at Great Lakes, songs which soon will cross the waters and make the business of stopping German craft more pleasant in the doing.

GREAT LAKES, 111., Aug. 4. The phrase, "Spends his money like a sailor," 1s fast becoming obsolete, for the modern bluejacket generally comes out of the service with a rounder bank account than that of his civilian brother. With the recent increase of pay In the Navy, savings in the ships banks have increased enormously. The gospel of saving is preached continuously in the Navy, and with effect. At the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, where 12,000 jackies are in training, representing the lowest rank and correspondingly the smallest paid body of men in the Navy, nearly $25,000 has been deposited. The amount is not surprisingly large, but considering that the average Jackie has been at the Station for only a little more than a month, it shows that they have caught the spirit. Civilian banks adjacent to the Training Station also carry considerable savings accounts for the jackies. At the Training Station, as on every ship in the Navy, there is a bank for the exclusive use of the jackies In which they can deposit their savings and draw 4 per cent, interest. Such deposits are required to remain in the bank for the period of the depositor's enlistment and it is not uncommon for the sailor to come from his cruise with a good sum set aside for a rainy day. Of course, there are no rainy days in the Navy as the bluejacket is cared for in sickness and is always sure of his job as long as he behaves himself, but many who leave the service find that this financial backing comes in har.dy. There is no small number cf men in the service who boast bank accounts and investments that would make a civilian considered "well off" in his community.

CeUEMWILIB) HIGH GRADE OLEOMARGARINE There are grades of Oleomargarine, just as there are in goods of every kind. Judge the merits of Oleomargarine solely by CHURNGOLD, not by lower grades offered at catchy prices. Before our pure, sweet, palatable "Gold of the Churn" was placed upon the market several years ago, the vast majority constantly using CHURNGOLD today would not touch Oleomargarine at any price. But CHURNGOLD has made a myriad of converts and continues to make more every day, because it has purity, sweetness and integrity to support its claims as the finest quality of Oleomargarine that can be churned.

By BASIL WALTERS Allen town, Penna Aug. 2. I don't feel sorry for any young man who has been drafted. The young fellow who isn't going to take advantage of the experiences Uncle Sam is offering is the man who needs the sympathy. And of course, there is the chance to serve one's country in a time of periL From an educational standpoint, the army has a college backed off the map. Small Chance to Lose Job. Then there's another nice thing about the army. There's little danger of a soldier losing his Job. The drafted man is going to run up against things he has never been accustomed to. Here are some suggestions gathered from experience in the army which may be of use to the new

soldier as well as to those who are left behind. ! An absolute necessity in the army is a "comfort" kit These can be pur-! chased but are valued much more if they are made by a friend. These kits should be made of khaki cloth. . Hang 'Em Up. The kind which rolls up and which can be hung up when in use is most appreciated. These kits should contain a complete safety razor outfit. Shaving cream which can be used without a mug is used generally. A bar of medicated soap should be enclosed in a metal case. Foot powder is a necessity. The tooth brush should be in a case which permits the air to pass through. A wash rag of the rubber type should be included. Bible is Included. Buttons, needles and thread, pins and safety pins should not forgotten. A small Bible is often included. A mirror is required the non-breakable kind is desirable. Only essentials should be Included in these kits. Extras become burdens cn long marches. Everybody is asking, "What can we do for our boys?" The best thing that close friends can do is to write many letters. Soldiers appreciate them much and there are always long waiting lines at the postoffice. "Are Moral Insurance." Letters occupy the soldier's spare time and keep the home ties tight Letters and the amusements furnished by the Army Y. M. C. A. are "moral insurance" for the soldiers. Foods from home are often appreciated but it is against the army reg

ulations to take food in the barracks. This is done to protect the sanitary conditions of the camp. When food is sent, it should be in small quantities. The army food is

good and substantial. There can be no kick on this count "Away With a Smile." "Send Him Away With a Smile," expresses exactly another duty of those who remain at home. The average recruit doesn't worry about the part he is to play in the war, but be becomes rather downhearted if he thinks that the folks at home are worrying. Soldiers are as a rule the most cheerful lot of mn in the world. None are in this affair because they like war but the boys are preparing because Germany forced war upon them and now they are going to show the kaiser how the Yankee boys come through.

The post off icec department, which has Instructed postmasters not to ask exemptions for carriers, laborer or dispensable clerks, took the first step in compliance with Presidents Wilson's order directing tht requirement of lndispensabillty be rigidly enforced.
