Metzdorf f 's Arrest V ; ,
The pro-German statements of Metzdorff are illustrative of the exaggerated ego of a German
sympathizer. He is suffering from the hallucina
tion which the Pan-Germans and Junkers have
successfully placed in the German mind. He can
not free himself from the baleful effects of the
theory that the Kaiser and his people are divine
ly chosen to teutonize the world and ingraft upon
it German kultur, even if the manifestations of
that kultur are broken faith, smashed treaties, pillaged sanctuaries, devastated cities, and willful
acts of barbarity.
Metzdorff and those, who share his opinions
seem to be unable to understand their inconsist
ent position. They left Germany to enjoy the benefits of greater opportunities in America. They preferred the material advantages .of the
United States to the untoward conditions of Ger
many. . Dissatisfaction with the Kaiser's institu
tions prompted their advent to this country. Here they found greater opportunity to make money than they did in their native country. They liked American gold and American profits. But that's where their love for their adopted country, ceased. , ' They had no love for our institutions, our form of government, our people. They wanted to exploit our advantages and still maintain their allegiance to the country from which they came. Metzdorff and his ilk are types of the mercenary spirit that loves conquest and fortune but refuses allegiance to the land which enables them to enrich themselves.
One would believe that a man like Metzdorff would conclude : , "If I came to the United States to make it my home, to earn money, to better myself financially, I owe a debt, of gratitude which must assert itself in loyalty to the flag under whose protection I am enjoying the benefits that daily come to me. My duty now is to co-operate with the American people to bring these democratic institutions, with their principles . of equal rights and equal opportunities, to the land from which I came. Although I am not a citizen, and cannot become one 50 long as the war lasts, I pledge my heart and hand to the winning of the war." , Metzdorff, however, manifests a spirit of ingratitude. Our institutions and our 'government mean nothing more to him than opportunity to make money easily. They do not invoke in his
soul a spirit of loyalty and fidelity. He does not
accept them as a boon, as a priceless heritage, for which others fought and died, but as a means
by which he can rake in money.
This is the attitude which the Pan-Germans studiously inculcated into the minds of the German peopje. They deplored the immigration of
thousands of Germans to the United States and openly argued that these men should be taught to preserve, their German customs, language and habits in their new home, so that they could be depended upon to create internal unrest in case Germany became involved in a war with the United States. , . The Pan-Germans had no objections to letting men of Metzdorff 's type go to the United States to make mopey and then to return home with the bqbty, swelling the German national wealth and adding to its prosperity. An understanding of the PanGerman theory will explain why Emperor Wijliani bestowed distinction and honor upon former members of the Germany army and navy who immigrated to this country and became naturalized. He wanted them to remain friendly to their native land and in close touch with its masters. The little acts of kindness which he bestowed, the dispatch of congratulatory letters, the sending of old guns and uniforms, and the scores of other manifestations of imperial graciousness were in their last analysis only so many sops thrown at these men for the purpose of ingratiating himself in their favor and of using them as tools in the furthering of his nefarious designs in our country. Unwittingly they became agents of the PanGerman scheme in the United States. Unconsciously they were serving an unseen but all-pow
erful lord who pulled the wires that set ..them moving in the big game of American conquest which he and the war lords were planning. The organizations which the former ' soldiers of the kaiser formed in this country became circles of German influence that radiated German kultur in proportion to their standing in the community and the emphasis they put on the preservation of the native tongue, the maintenance of German customs, and the dissemination of Pan-German views. Few of the men who claimed membership in these organizations knew they were merely
clay in the hands of a master who was moulding
them in his own way and for his own purpose.
And the purpose of the Pan-Germans was to
teutonize and conquer the United States. Metzdorff is obsessed, of this theory. He is
suffering from an exaggerated ego, inculcated in the German schools he attended, developed by his
dreaming over Teutonic conquest, and so domi
nating and all-absorbing, that his mind is incapa
ble of accepting anything else but the divine mission of Germany to lord it over the world. His menace to Richmond lies in his culture and education which, combined with his aggresiveness and blind devotion to the Kaiser, make him a leader of a group which ostensibly is loyal but in reality wants Germany to win. If Metzdorff is a typical example of the PanGerman movement it will be well for the loyal American citizens and for deluded citizens of German descent who are luke warm in loyalty to examine the designs of the Pan-Germans against the United States. Pan-Germanism is not a visionary paper theory or an effervescent ideal, but a positive expression of German design and will. Its purpose is to teutonize the world, including the United States. Let us adduce a number of citations quoted in "Conquest and Kultur," published by the Committee of Public Information, to make this point clear. In the Statutes of the Pan-Germanic League, adopted May 10, 1903, we find this significant statement: "To watch over and support" all German national movements in all countries where Germans have to sustain a struggle in support of Deutschtum, with the object of embracing and uniting all Germans on the globe." Speaking on a German invasion of the United States, Freiherr von Edelsheim, in "Operations upon the Sea," says: "It should be so managed that a line of land operations would be in close juncture with the fleet, through which we would be in a position to seize in short time many of these important and rich cities, to interrupt their means of supply,
disorganize all governmental affairs, assume control of all useful buildings, confiscate all war and
transport supplies, and lastly, to impose heavy in
demnities." Hubbe-Schleiden in the "Pan-German Central
Organ," January, 1903, declared:
"It is therefore the duty of everyone who loves languages to see that the future language
spoken in America shall be Germans-Let them show that they mean' to maintain Deutschtum, and tfien emigration may be directed to America with impunity." Klaus Wagner, "Krieg," asserts: "Not only North America but the ' whole of America must become a bulwark of Germanic kultur, perhaps the strongest fortress of the Germanic races."
PATIENCE Something is wrong with the sugar, Never a bit in the bowl. Something is wrong with potatoes. Something is wrong with the coaL Something is wrong with the army, Shortage of powder and gun. Something is wrong with every " Bloomin' thing under the sun. Nothing to do but have patience 'When f every blamed -thing up and ' ; "blows." ' Nothing at all but common sense Will ever o'ercome our woes. THE NEW DANCES For instance, that dreamy dance known as the .jazz is in itself an inspiration. The young man takes the young lady gently but firmly around the neck with his good right arm so that her back hair fits nicely into the hollow of his elbow. Then he swings her around gracefully until her feet clear the floor. Soon she is giving an imitation of the governor on an oldfashioned high-pressure traction en gine. Then while she is whirling he gives three or four somersaults, using his free hand for the purpose, and the trick is to keep the ladp in the air and not let her hit the floor or break any of the Louis Quince furniture. When this figure is through he walks on his hands and balances the lady on his right foot, whirling her gently, tossing her in the air occasionally ai in the old Japanese barrel trick, then grasping her firmly by the hair and dragging her about the room so deftly that her feet do not touch the floor. This dance is designed for unmarried people. No wife would accept such treatment from her husband even in the dance as she would almost certainly fail to appreciate the classic significance of the movements and would be inclined to fight back just as she does
at home. OUR OWN FOOD HINTS There are various methods of preparing breakfast food substitutes which will taste just like the originals and will have about the same food properties. One is to save all lead
pencil sharpenings. They make an
excellent substitute when baked in the oven, if cream and sugar are added Then there is excelsior. Everyone hag
a little around the house which came packed around the new electric light globes. When this is toasted and cream and paralyzed sugar added it Is delicious and nourishing- The best substitute, however, is made by running the old straw hat through the meat grinder. Nearly everyone has a few straw hats around the house. One gent's straw hat will furnjsb, enoubh breakfast food for a family of twelve and a. lady's hat will feed three or four families for a week. , The other day a New York actress was billed to open in a new production at Atlantic City. When she arrived there she discovered to her dismay that she had left her principal costume in her apartment in New York She telegraphed for it. Her housekeeper inclosed It in a six-inch envelope and sent it special delivery. Very soon, if fashions keep on going the pace, It will be possible on occasions of this sort to send the costume by telegraph and, perhaps, by wireless.

"After one of the famous fairs at TiDuerary a man was found guilty of
murdering another man by striking him with a blackthorn," said former
" If Metzdorff is too ignorant to understand the full scope of Pan-German design in all its insidious ramifications as they pertain to a conquest of the United States, he must pay the penalty for his ignorance. The United States is an unhealthy place for men who are not in full sympathy with our government and its aims. Germany Has Three Classes p. Thomas Curtin in Munsey's Magazine. FROM the revolutionary poiijt of View the Germans might be divided, into three classes. To . the, first belong the leaders, the half deified army officers and professors, and the great men of business. Tye second class contains the mass of the people. The third contains the eighteen more or less revolutionary extremists in the Reichstag and a small minority of the population, certainly not more than one-fifth, though the number is slowly increasing. This last class has already endeavored to make its protests heard and felt, but a police system armed with revolver, sword and machine gun, with espionage and "preventive arrest," has rendered all such attempts futile. It is obvious that there can be no hope of a revolution until the third class wins the support of the second class; but the latter despises the former and seeks to
curry favor with the first class, from which it derives its readymade ideas. The tendency of mankind has been to move in the direction of democracy, and Germany will some day step into line -always assuming, of course, that she does not win this war.
President Taft, illustrating a point in 'contributory negligence." "The judge asked the usual question bad. he anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him?" " 'Well, my lord," answered the prisoner, all I can say Is that a man with a thin skull had no business at TJpperary fair'." After two months at Rockford, Pri
vate Nelson got his leave at last, and made what he conceived to be the best use of bis holiday by gettjng married. On the journey back, at the station, he .gave the gateman hi 3 marriage certificate in mistake for his return railway ticket. ' The official studied it carefully and then said: "Yes, my boy, you've got a ticket for a long, wearisome journey, but not on this road." One night at a theater some scenery took fire and a very perceptible odor of ' burning alarmed the spectators. A panic seemed to be imminent, when an actor appeared on the stage. "ladies and gentlemen," be said, compose yourselves. There is no danger." The audience did not seem reassured. . , ' "Ladies and gentlemen,", continued the comedian, rising to the necessity of the occasion, "confound it all--do you think if there was any danger I'd be here?" The panic collapsed.

WAR WIVES' CLUBS TO BE ORGANIZED rNDIAKAPOLIS, Jan. 10. Women who have a particularly close association with the war because of near rel attves being In service, will constitute a War Wives Club, which will be organized for state-wide activity, under the direction of Mrs. Anne Studebaker Carlisle, head of the Women's section of the Indiana State Council of Defense. Mrs. Carlisle has been asked by the women's committee of the Council of National Defense to make this club a part of her organization and she will do so at once. It is expected every community in the State even the most remote will be included in this new organization for the reason that every quarter of the State contains many women who feel this close personal touch with the lighting force. In reference to the plan, Mrs. Carlisle states that she believes such local organizations will serve to crystalize the spirit of sacrifice among the women at home the same as the war has served ' to develop among the men now in active service. A natural bond of sympathy and interest will it is hoped, make the War Wives Club an instrumentality for the greatest co-operation in matters pertaining to the Home Defense program. . " In France these organizations have served a double purpose of service and mutual comfort and It is believed by Mrs. Carlisle the opportunity for an equally effective organization Is here in Indiana.
DYSPEPTIC STOMACHS NEED A MAGNESIA BATH
To Wash Out or Neutralize the Dangerous Stomach Acids Which Make Food Ferment and 8eur and Cause Indigestion.
