To the German Sympathizers Last Tuesday the Palladium printed a speech which Otto H. Kahn, associated with one of the largest banks in New York City, delivered at Milwaukee, center of a large Teutonic population. All our citizens, and especially the alien enemies within our confines and the German sympathizers who infest our community, should study this address carefully. Kahn was born in Germany, He has been a close student of Prussian affairs for many years, and through his business connections was able to formulate his judgments' on data seldom accessible to the ordinary, man. Kahn was not driven from Germany because of untoward social conditions, so that his opinion is not warped by

prejudice and rancor. He says that he came to . his opposition to Prussianized Germany after he had noticed how Germany, step by step during twenty-five years,

was slowly being converted into a government

whose disgrace he describes thus:

1 am ashamed of the Germany which stands

convicted before the high tribunal of the world's public opinion of having planned and willed war; of the revolting deeds committed in Belgium and northern France, of the infamy of the Lusitania

murders, of inummerable violations of the Hague convention and the law of nations, of abominable and perfidious plotting in friendly countries and shameless abuse of their hospitaliy, of crime

heaped upon crime in hideous defiance of the laws of God and man."

The condemnation of Germany's barbarous course by a man of Kahn's standing and penetraticfn ought to exert a reformative influence on men of Metzdorf f s calibre, who cannot understand why they cannot enjoy the full material benefits of this country and still publicly express their loyalty, to the Kaiser in defiance of the laws of the country in which they are making their money. , .. .. . . J . That Kahn's masterly array of reasons ,why persons of German descent should be loyal to the United States will have no regenerating influence on these men goes without saying. Most German enemy aliens in this country are so heartily in favor of the Kaiser's ruthless program of world domination that an angelic appeal would find them impervious to its charm. The moral issues involved in this great con

flict, the vital principles or right and wrong that are at stake, the hideous acts of Teutonic barbarity, the brazen violation of all laws of civilization

and decency, cannot be grasped by Metzdorff and his ilk. because they have become inoculated with

the moral poison of their masters, preventing

them from differentiating between the good and

the evil.

The Germany of today is not the Germany of

twenty-five years ago, but alien enemies cannot

see the change. Kahn describes the causes that

brought about this astounding change, which

Metzdorff and others cannot see, in these words:

"There came upon the German people a whole

train of new and baneful influences and impulses,

formidably stimulating as a powerful drug,

There came, amongst other evils, materialism and covetousness and irreligion ; overweening arrogance, and impatient contempt for the rights of the weak, a mania for world dominion, and a

veritable lunacy of power worship.. There came

also a fixed and irrational distrust of the inten

tions of other nations, for the evil which had crept in their own souls made them see the evil in others, and that distrust was nurtured carefully and deliberately by those in authority." Metzdorff (we use him as a typical representative of alien German enemies) does not realize that he is under the influence of this baneful spirit and that all his thinking processes conform to the environment which the German government created and the principles which it incul-' cated in the schools and the army, by the press, by organizations, associations and other mediums through which public opinion is nourished. Metzdorff is not . the self -determining being which he erroneously believes he is, but is a proPrussian creature, moulded by the nefarious

power enthroned in Berlin, animated by the poisonous spirit of , Prussianism, intellectually dominated by the militarist and Pan-German movements, and morally swayed by that false Teutonic philosophy whose principles is "might is right" and "a good war hallows every cause." Metzdorff is an intellectual slave of the "lunacy of power worship."

to reach both their intellects and their con sciences.

Kahn is . deeply sensible of the attachment J

which these men and women -have for the country in which, they were born, the old customs that prevailed in the villages and hamlets where they were reared, and for their relatives still living in Germany. ' That sentiment, however, must be a relative one, restricted by .the new oath of allegiance which they gave to this country. That sentiment dare not interfere with loyalty, for then it becomes treason, as Kahn trenchantly remarks : "The American of German descent who, at the time of test and trial, does not serve the land of his adoption with the utmost measure of single-minded devotion and with every ounce of power, perjured himself when he took the oath of allegiance and proves himself guilty of treacherous duplicity. Let some of the German sympathizers in this

community ponder the foregoing statement:

Many of them have deep religious convictions. They have been taught the sanctity , of the oath and believe that the name of God ought not to be taken in vain. What are they doing every time they say that the United States should have stayed out of this war? What happens when they assert that Ger

many will make us pay dearly for our entrance

into the war?

They are perjuring themselves. They are vio

lating the sanctity of the oath which they took

when they renounced the Kaiser. The world looks askance at a man who "breaks his word," who betrays a promise, or violates a trust. These men took a sacred oath, gave their word of honor to forsake allegiance to the Kaiser and1 to be true to their new government. They swore to be faithful and loyal to the United States. Are they willing to be known in this community as liars and perjurers, perifidious outcasts to whom a sacred oath is a ribald jest or an empty promise, detestable knaves who have no honor or moral conceptions ?

The Germany to which the fond memories of

many of these misguided people cling is not the Germany of their youth. Would that the moral and spiritual conditions in Germany today were

what they were three decades ago! Then, she would not have become the outlaw among nations, a reproach to those who have German blood in their veins, a disgrace to the civilization of the modern world. Let Kahn tell the German-Americans of this city what changes he found: "There are some of you, probably,' who will still find it hard to believe that' the Germany you knew can be guilty of the crimes which have made it an outlaw amongst the nations. , '' " ' '"' ' . "' '' "But do you know-modern Germany? Unless you have been there within the last twenty-five years, not once or twice, but at regular intervals; unless you have

looked below the glittering surface of the marvelous material progress and achievement and seen how the soul of Germany was being eaten away by the virulent poison of Prussianism; unless you have watched and followed the appalling transformation of German mentality and

morality under the nefarious and puissant influence of the priesthood of power worship, you do not know the Germany of this day and generation. "It is not the Germany of old, the land of our affect

now of middle age or over knew in their youth. It is not the Germany of the first Emperor William, a modest and God fearing gentleman. "It is not the Germany, even, of Bismarck, man of blood and Iron though he was, who had builded a structure which, whilst not founded on liberty, yet was capable and gave promise of going down into history as one of the greatest examples of enlightened and even beneficent autocracy; who, in the contemplative and mellowed wisdom of his old age, often warned the nation against the very spirit which, alas, came to have sway over it, and against the very war which that spirit unchained. "The Germany which brought upon the world the

luiiaeasuraoie disaster or mis war, ana at wnose monstrous deeds and doctrines the civilized nations of the earth stand aghast, started into definite being less than thirty years ago." America is not a missionary among nations trying to bring a pagan Germany into the fold. It has embarked on this war to perpetuate principles of self-government that were jeopardized by the Kaiser's desire for world power. It has no designs on the German people. It does not propose to dictate the form of government under which they should live. For this cause and purpose it asks the whole

hearted co-operation of all its citizens. No natur

alized German can deny his government support and encouragement in this mission.

Prof. Dunk predicted

eartnquake less than twenty-four

hours after It happened and gained great prominence the year the pieplant froze by predicting that calamity. He was sure of his ground in this instance and hadn't a chance to lose. He predicted it every year until it finally happened. Thus we may take Prof. Dunk's prediction as to the end of the war in greatest confidence.

wnich sours and ferments the food, creating gas on the stomach and often causing intense pain or burning. The forcing of food from stomach to intestines with artificial digestents in such a case is almost criminal folly as serious intestinal indigestion may very easily follow. Instead the stamach should be given a magnesia bath to clean out the acids sweeten the food contents, soothe and allay inflama-

mation and irritation of the stomach wall6 and thus permit the normal healthy digestion of the food. You can give your acid inflamed stomach no finer treatment than a magnesia bath. It is simple, easy and pi i-.sant to take, cannot injure the stomach and is not at all expensive.

Just get a small bottle of Bisurated Magnesia (either tablets or powder) from your druggist, put a teaspoonful of the powder or two tablets in a glass of water and drink it at every meal for a few days and your stomach will act and feel fine. It must be understood that I do not advise the use of such forms of magnesia as citrates, acetates, sulphates, milks or lump magnesia. One of these might do more harm than good. I believe that nothing but pure bisurated magnesia should be used to neutralize an acid stomach- This form is not difficult to obtain. The best druggists ! have it and in the bisurated tablet or powder form it will instantly neutralize stomach acidity and insure painless, natur. al digestion for even chronic sufferers from stomach troubje.

Take a Glass of Salts before breakfast if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers you.

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is Kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine fs cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
