“COMPETENT GERMAN AUTHORITY”
GIVES NATURALIZED GERMAN-AMERICANS
PERMISSION TO PERJURE THEMSELVES
The following interesting extract
from un article written by Edgardo de
Magalhaes under the heading of "Ger
many and South America” appears in
the January Number of "the Nine
teenth Century and After:”
"German only began to organize her
action In South America in 1900. It
was about 1898, after the Spanish
American War, when the European
uatlons bowed down before the Monroe
doctrine, that Germany began to think
seriously of establishing herself in
South America. Her pacific organiza
tion reached Its last stage with the
promulgation of the Debruck laiw in
July 1913.
"After having made a register of all
Germans living in the world they had
to make sure the means by which they
could count on them when the hour
struck for conquest by force of arms.
Undoubtedly German emigrants have
always kept i:i their hearts the cult
of the Fatherland. But this was not
enough; the emigrants of the Father
land must still think that they were
legally Germans. The meats for this
were simple-namely by premitting
them all to remain Germans and to
enjoy the prerogatives of German citi
zens, altho becoming naturalized in
other countries. Von Uiebert was the
first to demand that for this purpose
the law of 1S7G relating to the loss of
nationality should be changed. On the
second of July, 1913, the law called the
Delbruek law was passed. The pre
amble to this law explians that its pro
visions were made for the need of those
who relinquished their nationality in
order to earn their living in other
countries. Baron von Kichoofen com
menting on this preamble said in the
llelchstag "We have the pleasure of
declaring that the project of this law
premits Germans to change their na
tionality each time they are forced to
do so for economic reasons.”
Here is a part of the text off their
law dealing with this subjet which is a
good example of the German men
tality; "A German citizen need not
lose tiis nationality if, at his request
and before the acquisition of his for
eign nationality, he shall receive the
written consent of the competent

"It seems .o me, my dear" remark- j
id the young husband, at the Christ
mas dinner, "that there is something
wrong with this cake"
"That shows what you know about
it," laughed the bride triumphantly;
"because it says in the cook book that
it is perfectly delicious.
Helping Hih Oct.
The ceremony was ovei when an
elderly friend of the bride waddled up
to extend bis good Wish s and con
gratulations. Unfortunately he could
not distinguish between the bride
groom and an unsuccessful -uii'or and
congratulated the latter.
Witnessing the young man's eu
burrussinent, the bride turned uuici-.iy,
suying:
“Oh, I’m so sorry, he isn't the man
to he congratulated, Mr. U.-.
Here’s my husband over here.”
One Way Out.
She was condemnatory in her man
ner. "1 refuse to take this paper cut
ter,” she declared sternly, “because it
is not ivory, and 1 want to use it as
a Christmas gift,”
The clerk looked at her with tho
"1 - don't-doubt-your- word madam,”
expression indigenous to clerks.
“That's very strange," he said, ‘‘The
elephant must have had false teeth.'
Rank Injustice.
"I’a," inquired a seven-year-old
seeker after the truth, ("Is it true
that school-teachers get paid?"
“Certainly it is,” said the father.
"Well, then," said the youth In
dignantly "that ain’t right. Why
should the teacher get paid when us
kids do all the work?"
One Measure of a Good Time.
Harry had attended the Christinas
party of a little friend and enjoyed it
very much, especially the candy and
other goodies. A few days later the
mother of his little host met him and
asked;
“Did you have a good time, Harry,
at Orrin’s party.”
"I should say so!” responded Har
ry enthusiastically. “Why, inaintna
had to sit up with me three nights,
I was so sick.”
The Patient's Own Diagnosis.
The physicians were consulting be

have Appendicitis.
"No," said one of them deensive, "I

Tho other doctor opened his mouth
to speak, but the patient beat him
to it.
"What do you tako me for?" ho
asked feebly. "A cheese?”

laws of intrantional rigt^. neutralized
German colonists can only keep their
German nationality by transgressing
the laws of the countries which they
inhabit and by not making known their
equovoeal position to the State in
which they live.
Thus these Germans lean towards
treason and anarchy. As to the Ger
man Empire, once more it proves that,
good faith towards other nations is
not its master, since it does not hesi
tate in promulgate internal laws which
are contrary to international laws.
Also it is evident that Germany only
acts for her own pi>int of view, and
rules hit conduct for her own con
venience and for her final aim of sit
premary over all nations."
