Investigating the German-American Alliance The investigation of the German-American Alliance is showing that it was a powerful instrument in the hands of the Pan-Germans of Berlin to spread the Kaiser's propaganda in the United States. The national officers either were acquainted with the designs of the Pan-German party and aided the movement, or were dupes of the master hand who occupies the German throne. Richmond is interested in the probe because a branch of the organization flourished here before America entered the war. Perhaps almost every member of the Richmond branch was ignorant of the real purpose of the national organization and as a result unconsciously and unwittingly helped the Kaiser in his plan of trying to teutonize America. Monday's issue of the Palladium contained an article written six years ago which pointed out the menace in the organization. At that time, few of our leaders believed that a sinister motive lurked in the activity and zeal of the GermanAmerican Alliance, and consequently the organization was permitted to form new branches all over the country and to spread German propaganda. Today's issue brings to a conclusion the forecast of the author six years ago, proving that he had a greater foresight than the rank and file of our citizens. In the retrospect, it is easy to see how the Alliance was a potent agent of the Kaiser in arousing and keeping alive pro-German sentiment in the United States. John William Scholl, assistant professor of German, University of Michigan, on the basis of the minutes of the Pennsylvania state convention and the constitution and by-laws of the Alliance, sets out its aims as follows: The Alliance "strives to awaken a sense of unity among the people of German origin In America;" to "centralize" their powers for the "energetic defense of such justitied wishes and interests" as are not contrary to the rights and duties of good citizens; to defend its class against "nativistic encroachments;" to "foster and assure good, friendly relations of America to the old German fatherland." Such are Its declared objects. All existing societies of Germans are called upon a3 "organized representatives of Deutschtum" to make It a point of honor to form a national alliance, to foster formation of new societies in all States of the Union, so that the whole mass of Germans in America can lie used as a unit for political action. This leaguo pledges Itself "with all legal means at hand unswervingly and at all times to enter the lists for the maintenance and propagation of its principles, for their vigorous defense wherever and whenever in danger." Again, It demands the introduction of instruction in the German language, because it along with English forms the world language a handsome boast and because a more general knowledge of it favors a "clear and unprejudiced understanding and promotes mutual friendly relations," sous-entendu with the fatherland. In order to strengthen as much as possible this "centralized group" in combating "negative encroachments," uch as prohibition, single-language schools, &c, it urges all Germans to naturalize as soon as possible and become active in public life. To the unsophisticated this looks like eagerness to attain Americanism In v rush. Unfortunately the alliance is also emphatically opposed to any restrictions upon immigration and the rights of naturalization, except for conviction of crime, ar.d it is likewise in favor of the "abolition of all antiquated laws that hinder free Intercourse" or "limit the personal freedom of the citizen" to enjoy to the full his European habits if they come In conflict with "nativistic" movements. It recommends the founding of institutions for teaching the German language and literature and general German Kultur. It demands the encouragement of historical studies in order to heighten the German-American's consciousness of his own importance in the development of America. It takes little penetration to discover that the leaders of the Alliance believed Germans should have the privilege of coming to America, obtaining citizenship, and maintaining intact their native language and customs. How was tha United States to benefit by their presence ? Seemingly only insofar as this nation granted them the liberty of living here, accumulating
money, and keeping alive loyalty to the Kaiser. A wonderful exchange, indeed! Americanization was a principle unknown to the Alliance. Pan-Germanism had usurped its place.
Opportunities at the Night School The multiplicity of war needs is becoming increasingly apparent every day. For every man in the trenches, seven are needed at home to support him. How necessary then that all of us become doubly efficient in our vocation 1 How essential that all of us acquire more knowledge and greater skill in the application of our talents ! The city school authorities are cognizant of the demand which the war is making on all our citizens. They have re-opened the night school, forced early in the year to suspend because of the fuel shortage, and are calling on us to take advantage of opportunities to increase our worth as citizens and "backers" of the boys over there. The curriculum is so varied and practical that the needs of almost any one desiring to augment his education, either along cultural or vocational lines, will be met. Young persons whose education was curtailed by economic causes have an unparalleled opportunity to make up what they lost. Boys in the shops who hope to become more skilled and efficient ought to investigate the courses which are offered. The night school is a boon to this, community. Its usefulness lies dormant until it is used. Hundreds have attended its courses with profit and satisfaction. Other hundreds are invited to enroll.
Conquest and Kultur "So be it, and when the German Emperor is crowned with victory, then what he promised us in his youthful days will stand forth as a great accomplished fact. 'I am leading you to days of glory.' Let us forget all our discontent of former times, and let us thank our fate, which has guided us through darkness into light. Henceforth the German shall be the proudest and best man on earth that is the only spirit which is worthy of the great times in which it has been granted us to see and to create." Karl von Winterstetten, Nordkap-Bagdad, das politische Programm des Kriegs, 1914, p. 40. Winterstetten is a pseudonym for Dr. Albrecht Ritter. His pamphlet Berlin-Bagdad: Neue Ziele, etc., has gone through 14 editions.

"A wholesome alternation of appropriate periods of real war and real peace is what the author, Dr. Schmidt-Gibichenfels, War as a Factor of Kultur, looks upon as an indispensable condition for the creation and preservation of all that is good and beautiful and great and sublime in nature as well as in the domain of true and genuine kultur."

It Was Successful in Paris Why Not in Richmond? From "Women's Wear." SOMEONE recalls that once during the reign of Louis XV in France, there was a craze among the women of Paris to drive their own conveyances, and the number of such vehicles increased 60 fast that merely to keep traffic moving in the streets became a serious problem. When relief measures had been discussed, tried, and proved unavailing, some intelligent official brought forth a rather remarkable proposal which was put into effect and the trouble ceased. Posters were prominently displayed in public places forbidding any woman under 30 years of age to drive her own conveyance. As a result, the only women willing to confess by their act that they were over 30, were the women so far over 30 that they were too feeble to drive. Perhaps it is slightly more than a spirit of fun which prompts the suggestion that something similar to the course followed so long ago in Paris might now be of value in reducing the volume of deliveries in American department stores. Unthinkable perhaps for an individual store to risk the offense of a cold-typed announcement to the effect that small parcels will be delivered only for women who are over 40 or who are physically unfit to carry them, and yet there is no reason why such a poster could not be issued by the Commercial Economy Board. Instead of a direct mandate, perhaps the idea could be put over with as much effect, and without needless offense, by some such wording as the following: IF you are a woman over 40 years old or physically unfit to Do Your Bit To Win the War it is all right to have your small parcels delivered. Plain-lettered cards carrying this inscription and placed conspicuously throughout the store ought to put the delivery department completely out of business.

Boston is now the largest fishing port in the world. Before the breaking out of the war Grimsby, England, was slightly in the lead. About 170,000,000 pounds of fish are landed yearly from vessels engaged in the trade at the great fish pier in South Boston.

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn can harmlessly be lifted right out with the fingers if you will apply directly upon the corn a few
i drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati
auuiut . It is claimed that at small cost one can get a quarter of an ounce of freezone at any drug store, which is sufficient to rid one's feet of every corn or callus without pain or soreness or the danger of infection. This simple drug, while sticky, dries the moment it Is applied and does not inflame or even irritate the surrounding tissue. This announcement will interest many women here, for it is said that the present high-heel footwear is putting corns on practically every woman's feet. Adv.

THERE IS NOW NO QUESTION OF MOTOR TRUCK ECONOMY The cost of hauling with an International Motor Truck today is little less than one-half the cost of doing the same work with horses, provided tho truck is kept reasonably busy. An International is always ready for work. Its steady, day-by-day. year-in and year-out service, due to its built-in quality, and to the prompt service we give International owners, makes this truck especially economical. Compare the International engine, frame, springs, rear axle and wheel drive with those of any other truck sold to carry equal loads. Then consider that this truck is backed by a seventy million dollar corporation with 76 years of manufacturing experience and with 90 direct company branches In the United States seven of them in Indiana. Where can you get greater assurance of steady service and low hauling costs? There are four Bizes of International Motor Traclo 1500, 2000, 3000 and 4000 pounds capacity. All are built with a durability that means a reasonable first cost and lowest last co6t. Write or call on us for literature and full Information. International Harvester Co. of America 170-174 Ft.
