Zeitungs of New York And Chicago I
Attack The President
. i
—
The Chicago Staats-Zeitungs: We
are not aware that Mr- Wilson ever
received a mandate to represent hu-1
manitv, and if he did he ought to
return his retainer, for he never
represented humanity, but the in
terests of ammunition manufac
turers in opposition to the real in
terest of humanity- Why not rath
er send a threat to the nation whose
inhuman stoppage of food products 1
for the civil population of Germany
caused the submarine war? We are
sure the nation does not want it
New York Staats-Zeitung—It is
unthinkable that the German gov-'
emment should recognize these cre
dentials (the president’s) as the1
representative pf all neutral nations,
and grant the peremptory demands
of the president as long as the
cause for the inauguration of this
submarine warfare—the illegal Brit
ish blockade and interference with
the commercial rights of neutrals—
remains in force, and as long as
British inhumanity against the civ
ilian noncombatant population of
Germany is continued. The presi
dent’s demands seek to permanently
guard British sea trade, and would,
if complied with, make England
proof against injury- Can Germany
agree with that ? The answer re
mains with the individual- President
Wilson has given the German govern
ment the alternative of complying
with demands which seem impos
sible to comply with, or to expect
war with the United States—for the
severance of diplomatic relations
under circumstances like the present
can only result in war- The presi
dent has brought about a diplomatic
situation which must involve the
United States in a war with Ger
many, unless congress intercedes in
proper time
Baltimore German Correspondent
—President Woodrow Wilson has
created a dangerous war cloud with
his action of sending an ultimatum
to Germany, and he has done so
with full knowledge of the fact that
the big majority of the American
people do not want war with Ger
many or any other country.

UNCLE SAM’S BORDER TROOPS
They are a businesslike looking
lot. these border troopers, whose
yellow hatcords alone differentiates
them from the infantry that they
disdain- Their language is full of
strange oaths and' picturesque in
the extreme. For example, one told
me that “a lot of the fellows got
tied up with the spiggity women.”
that is- married Mexicans, and his
comrade added: “I married a spig
gity and I wouldn’t change her for
any damned white woman. She'll
do as she’s told—never go out to a
show unless I tell her to, and she’ll
be faithful too" The Mexican men
they despise and call “spicks.”—E
Peixotto
THE EASTER MESSAGE
WELL PREPARED
SOLOISTS AND CHORUS INTER
PRETED SACRED CANTATA
WITH RARE CHARM.
Ketchikan music lovers arc in the
habit of looking forward expectant
ly to musicals directed by Osborne
Williams, himself a finished singer
and musician- From the organ in
troduction by Mrs- Williams to the
last chorus. t'The Easter Message,”
excelled in musical merit, and was
sung in genuine religious jubilation
Indeed it is hard to segregate the
most pleasing numbers as the en
tire cantata was a musical (riumph,
interpreted by soloists and chorus
with rare chirm. The large con
gregation, which packed M. E
church to the doors last night felt
ampljl repaid for their anticipation
in the fulfillment of this musical
treat
