GERMAN-AMERICAN CITIZEN
EXPLAINS HIS POSITION

writing to the Times of that city, gives the
following as his reasons for not heeding the i
call to arms of his native land:
“At present one reads a great deal about
patriotism shown by men of different na
tionalities. 1 am a German by birth. My
opinion is a little different from that of
men who leave this country to fight for
their native land.
“I left Germany fifteen years ago, trav
eled throughout Europe, and landed in this
city five years ago. I left Germany be
cause I did not like governmental guidance
from the cradle to the grave.
“During these fifteen years Germany has
not done anything for me; but this country
has given me a chance to do business, to
establish my own home and to support my
family. My children have been born here.
“In my opinion, for me to leave this
country and go back to fight for my native
land would be treason to the United States.
I am not a citizen yet, but I consider that
everyone who leaves for the above purpose
is not worthy to be a citizen of this country.
“This is now my country, for which I
would fight in case of danger. I cannot
help it that I was born in Germany; but
now that my life belongs to this country,
nothing is left for Germany.”

ties do not abolish the nuisance by that time, the district attorney will immediately begin

mi SED
(By Wireless lo The Pioneer)
VERA CRUZ, Sept. I—General Frederick Funston, commander of the United
States forces in this city, reported to the war department at Washington this morning
that General Carranza, the provisional president of Mexico, had issued a proclamation
declaring the port of Vera Cruz closed.
(As .September 1 was the date designated for the withdrawal of the American
troops from Mexican soil, it is probable that the action of the n-w president in closing
the port was to expedite the adjustment of the many intricate affairs which naturally
present themselves directly following a change of government.
NOBODY IN DISTRICT
WANTS LEGISLATIVE OFFICE
—
When the Second Alaska territorial legis- '
1 ature meets in Juneau next spring, the
Iditaarod district may be without a represen
tative in that body, according to the pres
ent outlook. When The Pioneer received :t
dispatch from Dan Dri-full of Fairbanks
stating that a place was being reserved
iui the legislative ticket of the Wilson Pro
gressive party for an hiitarod man, it was
believed that a mass meeting would be
called and some man designated as the
choice of this district. However, no man
has felt called upon to call such a meeting,
and the matter will in all likelihood go by
default for lack of interest.
This is to be regretted. There is not the
least doubt that James Wickersham will be !
re-elected delegate at the November elec 1
tion, and it i- fairly certain that he will
carry the legislative ticket with him. So
that a. ; lace on the ticket is equivalent to
an election. The Pioneer has been unable
to hear of anyone in the district with
legislative ambitions, probably due to the
fact that everyone has been too busy to
think ot politics.
HOMER SHEPHERD INQUIRED FOR

BRITONS TAKE SITUATION
AS THEY FIND IT
LONDON. Aug. S. The spirit in which
the British people are taking the war has
found expression in their acceptance of their
first misfortune, the loss of the cruiser
Amphi n with 136 men. In a lesser conflict
it would have been mourned as a disaster.
Today it is regarded as a regrettable but
not. unexpected incident.
The papers accorded the matter neither
the largest headings nor extended expres
sions of regret.
The reports of a victory in the North
sea circulated Thursday night raised fab*
hopes which the admiralty promptly dissi
pated.
Last night there wa« another of the great
gatherings before Buckingham palace which
have come to be nightly expressions of th<
loyalty and enthusiasm of the people. The
ovation before the Italian embassy was or
ganized by members of West End clubs and
hv the younger elements of the community.
These took the form of rejoicing over the
reported Belgian successes. The greater
number participating, in many instances,
were Belgians and Frenchmen, who carried
the flags of their countries and cheered
mightily.
The business section of the town displays
few flags, and even soldiers march through
the streets without attracting special no
tice. An onlooker said:
“The temper which we are certain is go
ing to inspire the nation cannot be ex
pressed better than in the words of the
greatest of Americans, Abraham Lincoln.
‘With malice toward none and with char
ity for all.’ ”
Walter Runcinan. secretary of agriculture,
has introduced a bill in the house of com
mon? giving the British government power
to seize all foodstuffs. The bill passed
through all its stages.
Runcinan said his reason for introducing
the bill was what he termed the “greed of
wealthy people who. with a long line of
automobiles, had disgraced themselves by
cornering the large stock of prvisions and
causing great hardship among the poorer
classes.
THE BATTLE OF SEDAN
At Sedan on September 2, 1S70. Mac

officers and 84.000 troops became prisoners
of war. Napoleon III. who was unexpect
edly found to be present with MacMahon’s
army, was among the prisoners.
