WHAT ROOSEVELT
WOULD HAVE DONE
PROF. MUENTERBERG GIVES
GERMAN-AMERICANS HIS
VIEWS
Writing in the Springfield Re
publican, of recent date, Professor
Muensterbcrg gives bis views of
Colonel Roosevelt in an interesting
manner. He says:
“The little bits of abuse which I
have read and the large piles of it
which I have succeeded in avoiding
would indeed separate any other
politician for all time from the self
respecting German-American voters.
But the case of Roosevelt is entirely
different. Every American knows
him, many love him; but no one
takes him without a grain of salt.
It would be simply absurd to meas
ure his words by the same scale as
those of Root or Taft of Wilson.
Rut the chief thing is that no one
would like him other than he is.
Not only that we tolerate his incon
sistencies, but he would no longer
be himself, if his utterances ever
become inconsistent. He is loyal to
himself, and therefore to the nation,
only by exaggerating every argu
ment and shooting beyond the mark.
“Whenever two Americans talk a
bout him, they can take it for grant
ed that they agree in the essentials,
namely, that he is intolerable; that
all he says is wrong; that after all
which has happened, he is an im
possible presidential candidate; that
he is the greatest man America has
and that surely he will be president
again. German-Americans must ser
iously regret Roosevelt’s having
gone on the anti-German path, but
they would make fools of themselves
if they were to protest against the
exaggerations in his anti-German
exclamations. That is his temper
ment and his temper, the most
j superficial thing in the man.
“There remains, of course, the
I very fact that he has been trapped
into the nets of those who wove
the pro-ally newspaper opinion in
this country. But even there Roos
evelt is hardly to blame. He was
slowly pushed to his platform by the
events of the day. I have not the
slightest doubt that there could have
been no greater good fortune for
Germany, as far as America is con
cerned, than if Roosevelt had been
president in August 1914. His
temperment would never have allow
ed him to take the passive atti
tude of a real neutrality. Those un
forgettable words with which Wil
son characterized the neutrality
which, as the events have shown,
was not attainable in this country
would never have come from the
lips of the vehement colonel.
“What he would have done with
the whole vigor of is robust person
ality' would have been to resist Eng
land’s attack against America’s In
dependence. On the day on which
England cut the German cables to
America and made this nation de
pendent upon the British censor in
those decisive weeks in which Ameri
can public opinion was to be form
ed, he would have been found not j
only fulminating words but means
for energetic action. He probably
would have threatened an embargo
on arms if the means of communi
cation and information from both
bellige ent sides were not put at
the coivice of the American nation
at once. The public opinion of the
first weeks would have stood be
hind him in the demand, and a dam
would have been built against that
flood of lies which inundated the
country."
BULGARIA WANTS TO
“HOG” IT ALL
_
SERBIA WILL BE NO LONGER
INDIPENDENT NATION AT
END OF THE WAR
LONDON, Jan. 22—A dispatch
from Athens says that Bulgarian
troops and a detachment of Greek
gendamtes are reported to be fight
ing at Brovoani in Southern Al
bania near the Greek border.
Bulgaria’s determinationto hold
all captured Serbian territory
marking the end of Serbia as an
independent nation, and possibly
even to extend the lines into Greece,
was revealed in a Sofia dispatch
quoting Premier Radoslavoff to that
effect.
The Bulgarian premier’s announ
cement followed a plenary meeting
of government officials preparatory
to the opening of Parliament. Not
only members of the Parliament, but
partisans of M. Ghenadieff, Rado
slavoff’s political antogonist, were
present. Concluding a long state
ment to these officials the premier
declared the new frontiers of Bul
garia eventually would extend <to the
bounds reached by the victorious
army.
11 “Monastir will remain Bulgarian
The Serbian nation will no longer
exist. Our frontiers will be com
mon with those of Austria.
“The presence of the Franco
British forces at Saloniki will be
settled satisfactorily within a few
days,” ho corttludbd.
LARGE SILVER PRODUCTION
IN 1915
Increase in Many States, but De
creases- in Colorado and Nevada
The preliminary estimates of the
United States Geological Survey and
the Bureau of -the Mint for 1915
indicate an output of 67,485,600 fine
ounces of silver, valued at $34,427,
656. Although next to the record
output of 1914 in quantity, accord
ing to H. D. McCaskcy, of the Sur
vey, the value, based on the low av
erage price of $0.51 p cr fine ounce
for 1915—the lowest in the hisory
of the industry—was considerably
below the values of 1914 and many
previous years, when production
was smaller but prices ruled higher.
Increases in the mine production
of silver were especially notable in
Montana, Utah, and Arizona, and
were considerable in Idaho, Alaska,
New Mexico, and Texas; but large
decreases were reported from Colo
rado and from Nevada, following
similiar decreases in 1914. Pre
liminary totals, based on ore mark
eted as distinguished from ore smelt
ed, indicate a record output of near
ly 74,000,000 ounces of silver from
all domestic mines for 1915; but
some of this was produced under
stimulation of better prices at the
close of the year and will not reach
metalic form at the smelters and
refineries until 1916.

MAN STILL LIVES WHO
KEPT NAPOLEON AWAKE
OMAHA, Jan. 20—There is a man
living at Howard, Kan., who once
kept Napoleon Bonaparte awake
when he might have been enjoying
a refreshing sleep. That man is
John Munsinger, now 103 years old.
Munsinger was a baby in Witten
| berg, Germany, in 1812 when Napol
eon with his grand army was on the
march to Russia. A huge division
of the army camped in and about
Wittenberg one night while on the
way to the fatal invasion of the
Czar’s land. Napoleon and his em
press, Marie of Austria, in casting
about for a nice home in which to
stop, put up for the night at the
Munsinger residence.
Now, John Munsinger was just
the tiniest kind of a baby at that
time, and his milk was not agreeing
with him. So he exercised his
lungs lustily during the fore part of
the night, and the great French
Emperor and his Emperess could
not get to sleep for over an hour
after retiring.
Napoleon was. a good loser, how
ever, and did not complain. In
fact, he cared little about sleep at
that time. He was planning the
great raid on Russia and Moscow.
Indeed he sat up lato that flight
talking it all over with the Empress.
Recently John Munsinger cele
brated his 103 birthday. He wrote
his autograph for the guests with
out glasses. He told funny stories,
enjoyed his dinner, and after dinner
cleared the floor and danced a jig.
“Don’t get the blues,” he said.
“That is tho way to live to be 100.
Blues kill people. I never let them
bother me.”

AV1LL TRY TO RECOVER
BURIED TREASURE
MONTAGUE, Mich.Jan. 22—To re
cover a chest of gold and silver bul
lion alleged to contain nearly $200,
000 worth of precious metal, an ex
pedition is being organized to exca
vate on Birch Brook, south of this
town, a number of local people be
ing interested in the project. Ac
cording to the report, those back
the plan are trying to keep sec
ret their proposed course.
About forty years ago a gang of
tank robbers made their way here
with an old mule loaded down with
treasure from a bank somewhere in
Pennsylvania. On their arrival here
accordin gto the story, the mule died
and they were obliged to bury the
treasure, beyond what they could

With detectives reported close on
their trail, it was stated that the
men buried the balance of the bul
lion and secured passage on a boat
from hero to Chicago.
Since that time a number of at
tempts have been made to recover
the treasure, but as yet without
result. Tlie latest effort, it is re
ported, follows the discovery of a
chart which purports to locate the
scene of the hidden wealth.
Since the location of the suppos
ed bullion is in the quicksand, a
large drum will be sunk, the water
pumped out and the excavation ex
plored. Work will be begun in the
near future.
