A Rode Awakening
At the end of tour years of war
the New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung, in
an article which dees credit to the
judgment, to the hearts, and to the
Americanism of its owners and edi
tors, casts up the account between
Germany and the Powers with which
that empire is at war, and inciden
tally between the autocratic Govern
ment of Germany and the people up
'on whom it has imposed dreadful
burdens and sacrifices. Germany has
all of Belgium, a diminishing part of
Northern France; rich booty, many
prisoners: she has "enslaved the now
helpless Russian people;” with Aus
tria-Hungary she has “well-nigh de
stroyed Serbia and Montenegro and
crippled Rumania;” she has aided
Bulgaria and Turkey to increase
their territory: she has encouraged
the Turkish military leaders to
“massacre 1,000,000 Armenians and
other Christian inhabitants of con
tiguous territory;” she has sunk mil
lions of tons of shipping and destroy
ed property' worth billions, “show
ing no regard tor the lives ol non
combatants and not even for those
of women and children.”
Upon the other side ot the ledger,
the Staats-Zeitung makes these en
tries: Germany has sacrificed the
lives and the health and the well
being of millions of her sons; she
has lost her African colonies and put
upon her people a burden of debt
under which they will groan for dec
ades to come; she has destroyed her
foreign commerce and brought her
people to want and hunger; “ the
acts of her army commanders and
statesmen have' brought the German
name into disrepute in America.”
It is a dreadful reckoning, not
without its compensations, in the
great change it has wrought in the
feeling and attitude toward Germany
of Americans ot German birth or
blood. Says the Staats-Zeitung:
“For a long time German-Ameri
cans were unable to see the peril,
and rude was their awakening.
Their sense of duty showed them the
right ■ course to pursue. They point j
with pride to their sons and grand
sons fighting for them under the
Star-Spangled Banner. And they
will fight on until every danger is
removed and the world relieved of a
burden which lies upon it like an in
cubus, for it is only through the
overthrow of the present German
Government that the repetition of a
similar world catastrophe can be
prevented.
It has been, indeed, a rude awak
—.Ming. Americans of the parent
t stock while striving with patience
and continually to convince their
countrymen of German lineage that
Germany provoked the war, intend
ed to bring on the war, that her guilt .
was past all condoning, have never
theless understood how hard was the
position of those in other lands who
still look upon Germany as their
Fatherland. Their sympathies, even
if wrongly directed, were natural. All
that is past. There could be no
sterner condemnation of the Imper
ial malefactors than that which the
Staats-Zeitung, a German language
newspaper and read by German-
Americans, denounces against them.
With some pardonable satisfaction.
The Times may remind Americans of
German origin that it brought the
path of righteousness, of interest,
and of duty plainly into their view
very soon after the beginning of the
war. In an article to which German-
American societies and Gorman-lan
guage newspapers printed in this
country gave a good deal of atten
tion at the time, an article of which
they took a most unfavorable view’
and unanimously rejected the coun
sel it gave them, The Times on De
cember 15, 1914, pointed out that
Germany was doomed to sure defeat,
a defeat that would leave her bled

to exhaustion, drained of her resour- Jj
ces, and under sentence to penalties
of which the stubbornness of her
futile resistance will measure the
severity, and expressed the hope the j
German people might be made to see i
the light and take timely measures !
to avert the calamities that surely j *
awaited them. We here quote that i c
part of the article which gave our i <
German-American friends what we | 4
then felt to be and now know to
have been salutary advice;
-It may well be doubted that they
will see the light. But have not the
men of German blood in this oountrj j
a duty to perform to their beleagu- j
ered brethren in the old home? j <
Americans of German birth or of | <
German descent should see and feel j,
the truth about the present position j 4
of Germany, the probability for the j
near, the certainty for th- remoter, i
future. At home the Germans can- !
not know the whole truth; it is not j <
permitted them to know it. It will I,
oe untraternal and most cruel for j (
German-Americans further to Keep |
the truth from them, or to fail in •
their plain duty to make known to I'
them how the imperial and militar- | <
istic ideal has fallen in the world’s j ■
esteem, and to bring them to under- '
stand that the enemies they now eon- <
front are but the first line of civili- ,
zation’s defenses against the menace i
of the sword that forever rattles in (
its scabbard. The sw’ord must go.
the scabbard, too, and the shining ar
mor. If the Germans here have at <
all the ear of the Germans there.can <
they not tell them so? They have ,
come here to escape the everlasting (
din of war’s trappings; they have
come to find peace and quiet in a
laud of liberty and law, where gov- ’
eminent rests on the consent of the ■
governed, where the people by their ,
chosen representatives, when there is (
a question of going into the trenches
to be slain, have something to say
about it. Have they ever tried to
get into the heads of their friends
in the Fatherland some idea of the
comforts and advantages of being
governed in that way? Instead of
vainly trying to change the well-ma
tured convictions of the Americans,
w’hy not labor for the conversion of
their brother Germans? * * * If
the German-Americans prize the j
privileges they have enjoyed under
our theory of the State, ought they
not to tell the German sat home
what it mean sfor the individual to
be free from quasi-vassalage? * * *
When representative Americans and
men of peace like Dr. Eliot and An
drew Carnegie insist that there can
be no permanent peace until an end
has been made of German militar
ism, sober-minded Germans here as
well as in Germany ought not to
turn a deaf ear to such voices, for
they speak the opinion of the world”
We were a prophet quite without
honor among the German-Americans
in that month of December nearly
four years ago. The predictions of
The Times were flouted, the victory
of Germany was counted as a certain
event and the position it took that
the German people ought to win for
themselves peace with freedom by
overthrowing their selfish, cruel, and
bloody-minded masters, by destroy
ing their government and setting up
' in its place a government of the peo
! pie. was received with such outcries
as the extreme of religious heresy
evokes from the devout.
We rejoice that our fellow-citizens
have at length seen the light, that
they now look upon the Fatherland
they once loved as a sinner wander
ing in darkness, that they now see
the truth as we pointed it out to
them, that they have demonstrated
their loyalty, their patriotism, their
Americanism. The arraignment of
Germany by our neighbor the Staats-
Zeitung gives proof of that; even
more conclusive proof may be seen
in the roll of honor of the United
States Army, where a multitude of
German names show that the German
Americancans have sent their sons to
the front to fight for freedom. It still
remains to convince the German peo
ple that these Americans who have
German blood in their veins, many
of them spekaing the German langu
age. are fighting for the freedom of
Germany as well as for that of the
w’orld. When communications were
open four years ago, it would have
been easy for German-Americans to

Red Triangle Sign;!
(By Maximilian Foster.) 4
Somewhere in France. —The place | ,
was a big seaport in France. Like all \
its kind, the harbor was a big basin .
walled in with stonework quays, the ,
city’s house fronts edging in close to
the waterside. Ships coming in from
the roads literally made their way
through the town’s streets, the en- >
trance to the basin being a narrow |
passage not wider than New York’s |
Fifth Avenue, hardly so wide, in ,
fact. j
A big American transport was en- j
tering the narrow passage. Its j
decks were crowded with khaki-clad ■
figures, thousands of them literally, j
a new detachment of our boys just
landing in France. Elbow to elbow,
they lined the rails, staring silently
at the queer folk they saw in the
streets, folk in baggy trousers and
wooden shoes; eyeing with wonder
the funny little fishing craft that lay
in the .pockets by the quays, luggers
with blunt, stubby bows and multi
colored sails. These boys were a
strangely silent lot as they gaped at
the scene overside. They seemed to
realize, all at once, how far they
were from home.
Perhaps they veere a little home
sick. Perhaps, for the first time,
the edge had worn off the adventure
they were on and they had begun to
reflect what the adventure meant.
They were very quiet, quiet for
them, indeed. Perhaps the contrast
of this strange place had made them
wonder whether ever again they
would see those scenes and places
once so familiar. But of a sudden,
just as the ship passed the jaws of
the passage and entered the mouth
of the basin, a roar burst as if with
one voice from all those thousands of
boys.
“Hurray!” they yelled, every boy, (
his arm outstretched, pointing to j
the shore.
What caught their eyes and brou- |
ght that cheer leaping from their
throats was a huge painted sign
standing by the passage.
