From all parts of the country conn
reports evidencing strong feelinp
against Germany. While municipa
authorities are cautioning citizen;
that this is a time to keep silent anc
prevent the rise of a spirit that mighl
result in depredations on the propertj
of Germans and violation of theii
persons, the smoldering wrath o1
America refuses to be kept from ai
occasional verbal outbreak. In such
cases, however, authorities are re
ported as saying there has been some
justification.
# An instance of how anti-Germar
feeling is being aroused comes from
Milwaukee, Wis. A postcard came
through the postoffice there the oth
er day addressed to the son of a Ger
man mother who will not allow his
name to be used, which brought both
a message to him of his mother’s
health and her execution by the Ger
man authorities.
The card was addressed to ‘My
son.” The card said the mother was
getting along well, and said; “I wish
the kaiser was dead.”
But there was an inscription across
the card in another handwriting;
"Your mother was shot at sunrise.
The censor.”
The story developed when the young
man tried to enlist in the navy and
printed the card as evidence of his
reason for being enrolled. He had
not been naturalized and was for the
time being rejected.
In New York, N. Y., a few days ago
the Rev. Newell Dwight Hillis said in
an address:
“I am willing to forgive Germans
for their atrocities just as soon as
tftey are all shot. If you would give
me happiness, just give me sight of
the kaiser, Von Tirpitz and Von Hin
denburg hanging by a rope. If we
forgive Germany after this war I
think the universe will have gone
wrong.”
ai ov. i.ouis, itio., an oil painunt! ui
Kaiser Wilhelm, valued at $100, was
slashed in the first anti-German dem
onstration reported to the police there.
Fanatics wrecked the rooms of a Ger
man singing society.
At Altoona, Pa., the singing of the
national songs and anthems of Ger
many, which have been taught as a
part of the modern language and mu
sic courses in the Altoona high schools
was discontinued by order of the
school authorities. Only American
patriotic airs will be used in the fu
ture.
Near Manhattan, Kans., a wealthy
German farmer raised the German
flag to the top of his windmill and
declared the land a part of the Ger
man empire. Anti-German feeling is
running high, and the neighbors have
protested and have threatened to have
him arrested and deported to Ger
many.
At Oregon City, Or., O. Grant, a
Workman at Hawley Mills, saw Otto
Erickson, foreman, tear down a car
toon of Uncle Sam protecting the
flag and heard him make what Grant
considered an unpatriotic remark as
he did so. A fight started. When it
was over Erickson found himself
submerged in a vat of China clay, his
feet kicking toward the ceiling.
At Haines, Alaska, a few days ago
for having been disrespectful to the
flag, one Schmidt was ordered to sa
lute and kiss the flag, or take the con
sequences. He did what he was oi
detJ|d to do willingly, as he claimed
he had meant no disrespei t.

FRIST BITES
(J. L. HARE, in Leslie’s Weekly
Europe is so ardently occupied in
slaying' her millions or in binding up
the wounds of other millions in whom
the breath of life still exists that she
i has little time to discuss war’s stimu
lation of the progress of mechanical
and scientific development. No other
service directly resulting from the
war has interested me more as a boon
to humanity than the application of
"ambrine” to the burns of soldiers.
Though discovered by Dr. Barthe de
j Santfort several years ago the treat
i ment has only recently obtained rec
ognition. 1 saw “l’ambrine” treat
ment first at the military hospital at
Issy les .Vloulineaux. The matron in
charge, a Madame Van Cleef, wife of
a great diamond merchant in Paris,
and a woman of marked charm intro
duced me first to a young officer,
' Licuti nant Cordier, who had under
gone the treatment and showed no
scars though it was said he had been
horribly burned on the hands.
i
Madame de Santfort led me to a
room where seven or eight nurses
were taking dressings from what I
concluded was a lay figure. I pre
sumed instruction in the proper way
to dress a patient was under way.
Some were working on the body, oth
ers were apparently only observing
the mode of procedure. The head of
the figure was enveloped in a mass of
bandages, and both hands also encas
ed in large bundles of cotton. It look
ed for all the world like a mummy, as
the face was also masked with a
I sheet of cotton.
vii i iv/jcx uinpf
; to find that the figure was a man. As
I approached, the cotton mask was
j stripped from his face, and the ma
j tron remarked to me: “You see, it is
painless!”
My first impulse was to run from
the room, and try to etfaace the sight
from my memory. However, as the
; patient seemed to be in no pain I
stood my ground and yet what I saw
j was not a pleasant sight, for the
face I looked upon had been burned
! raw and treatment was only begin
ning.
You may readily imagine patients
: shrieking with pain, when bandages
are removed by oidi,.. y remedies,
yet with this, there was hardly a mur
mur. Sometimes I saw a very high
; strung patient who would complain
about the heat of the solution when
it was being applied, and 1 was lath
er amused to see a nurse, to prove
that it was not above the proper tem
; perature, calmly drop some of it on
' a companion nurse’s arm, and then
proceed to brush on the preparation
aa before.
, The patient 1 saw operated upon
first had been in an explosion at Sois
: sons, and it did not seem possible
that he would be cured without being
disfigured, but I was assured that
since his case was being treated with
in a reasonable time, the skin would
not show scars. Several of the men
acting as orderlies, with clear healthy
looking skin, were very much worse
before treatment, it was said, than
any in the hospital at that time.
The preparation comes in the form
of a wax compound. The ingredients
are still a secret. It is applied to the
I burns with a brush or piece of absorb
! ent cotton—at a temperature of about
5 degrees. Cotton is then placed up
on the wounds, and again the ambrine
is applied and is allowed either to dry
; gradually or is assisted with an elec
tric fan. In very bail cases the treat
ment is performed daily, the old dress
ing being taken off and a new one ap
plied. L’Ambrine has also proved of
inestimable value in treating frozen
feet.
One of the nurses told me there
were over 200 cases being treated at
that time. She seemed quite interest
ed when I told her I was representing
an American publication, and 1 learn
ed afterwards that she was the wife
of Admiral Sir Alfred Paget, retired

ON THE FIELD
NEW YORK, April 4.—Tyrus It.
Cobb, the Detroit Jewel, “spiked”
himself out of the second (fame of the
pre-season series between the New
York Giants and the Tigers at Dal
las last Saturday, when he socked his
cleats into the left Ieg of Charlie
Herzog.
Temperamental Tv had just been
caught in an attempt to pilfer the
second bag and when he found Her
zog waiting for him with the ball he
“hit the dirt” and threw his feet high.
Herzog went down and came up fight
ing. I More the 6.000 spectators knew
what was going on the men were pum
meling each other with Cobb on top,
when Art Fletcher ran over and pul
led him off. A squad of police re
serves followed the members of the
teams onto the field and quelled a
threatened disturbance.
Cobb, hissed by the crowd, was
ejected. Herzog, bleeding and limp
ing. continued. The Cobb-Herzog me
lee was the principal battle, but there
were others.
In the fourth inning when Fletcher
was rounding third, Hobbie Jones,
Detroit third sacker, got in the way
and was dumped over. He started to
the bench after Fletcher but was per
suaded to go back to the infield by
McGraw. In the seventh, McGraw
was chased by Umpire Kane when he
wrangled persistently over close de
cisions given to Detroit.
Incidentally the Giants evened up
the series by winning the game o to ?».
Chip Works for Go With Darcy.
George Chip is raising hoi) with
opponents since he returned to this
country from Australia. The New
castle battler was badly disappointed
when Les Darcy ran away from Aus
tralia. robbing him of a return match,
and he has started on a campaign
which he hopes will give him the
right to demand a match with the
Australian on this side of the big
pond.
Chip contends he was not right
when Darcy laid him low in nine
rounds and he is clamoring for a
chance to prove it.
There are few middleweights who
can hit any harder than Chip, and he
proved that he retains his wallop by
practically stopping the rugged
George “Kayo” Brown in a 12-round
battle at Youngstown, O., early in
February.
Brown collapsed just as the final
bell rang and was out for about ten
minutes, according to reports.
Aside from giving Brown the beat
ing of his life, Chip has knocked out
Sailor Kinert, the tough Cincy scrap
per, and has also plastered a sleeper
ticket on the veteran cave man. Bob
Moha. Kinert took the full count in
the second round and Moha made his
deep sea dive in the fourth. So George
has something to boast about.

WASHINGTON, April 7.—Scarcely
an hour after he had signed the dec
laration of war with Germany yester
day, and just before going into a
cabinet meeting, President Wilson
granted an audience to Delegate Chas.
A. Sulzer, and Democratic National
Committeeman Thomas J. Donohoe,
of Alaska. The meeting of the na
tion’s chief executive and the Alaskan
took place in the president’s private
■office at the white house, and was
very cordial.
President Glad Sulzer Is There.
When Mr. Sulzer was introduced
to the president, the latter said:
“I am gratified to see you here as
Alaska’s representative, Mr. Sulzer.”
“In the situation which confronts
the country today the people of
Alaska pledge themselves to stand
loyally and patriotically by you, Mr.
President,” replied Mr. Sulzer.
Pleases President.
The president expressed his pleas
ure at Mr. Sulzer’s statement, and
his satisfaction was apparent. The
president said that the expressions of
loyalty from the remotest parts of the
American domains as svell as from the
great centers of population are very
gratifying and creating a comforting
i sense of security.
Sulzer Kxtends Thanks for Alaska.
Delegate Sulzer then thanked the
president for his great constructive
\vork in Alaska. “The people of Alas
ka,” said Mr. Sulzer, ‘appreciate your
interest in the development of their
country which has advanced, Mr.
j President, with greater strides dur
ing your administration than during
all preceding administrations.”
The audience was extended to fif
teen minutes, and the president ex
pressed a desire for further confer
ence at an early date.
Sulzer Meets All Depart incuts.
During: the three days since lie
took his seat in the house of repre
sentatives Delegate Sulzer and Mr.
Donohoe have met the president's
four cabinet members whose depart
ments are interested in Alaskan de
velopment, and the heads of all the
various branches of their departments
which are directly connected with
Alaskan matters. Thursday and Fri
day were spent largely by the two
Alaskans visiting department and bu
reau heads.
Mi. Sulzer has been most cordially
received everywhere.
