The work ot relief Is now well organized. A peculiar feature of the cyclone was ttoat out of thirty-one killed In Kirtaville. twenty-four were women and little girls. This Is accounted for by the fact that the path of tfao storm was right In the residence district and at a time when the men had not all returned from business. Many ter ror-stricken women ran out doors when the roar of the cyclone came and were either klllled or injured by flying debris. NO COLONIES ARE WANTED German-American Papcru Define Their 1'onltlon on attention of ImiicrinllHin. ST. LOUIS , April 29. The Westllcho Post will tomorrow print an article In the Eng lish language defining the policy of nil Ger man-American papers In this country re garding Americanism against Imperialism. The article In part follows : Tlmo and again the attempt hns been mads to supplant'American republicanism with Imperialism. Tlmo and again American patriotism , and that high and far-seeing love of mankind which unites men of all coun tries In a common brotherhood ot humanity , have rallied and won against it. When half a century ago we had the same cries of "manifest destiny , " the "conquering Saxon , " "expansion , " and all the rest we are hearing all over again , Americans as radically op posed to each other In most things DO were Calhoun and Corwln , Joined with Clay , Webster , Clayton and Clemens against It. John M. Clayton , the author of the Clayton- Bulwor treaty , and openly In favor of co operating with England In business , was openly opposed to having anything to do with the political methods of British im perialism. What is there In stalwart Americanism except what German-Americans are saying now In declaring that they gave up homo and friends and came thousands of miles into an unknown country for the deep love- not of British colonialism , but ot American republicanism. To that they are loyal now and always , To Americanism , not to the British commercialism of the bayonet to Americanism , to liberty , to progress ; to freedom from militarism , to the expectation of a tlmo to come when the world will be no longer shackled by imperialism , with Its bayonets and fetters to that , German- Americans who renounced imperialism In Europe are as devoted now as they were fifty years ago , when they listened to Seward - ard as he said of these same "expansion ists : " "Sir , they have sent the American abroad , bearing not tbo olive branch , but a shackle In his talons. " The flag of this great republic stands now not for what the London Times approves but for what It rheant when Seward stood under it to utter this immortal sentence. Such republicanism as that was not his , nor that of any loyal German-American , or of any other American who is loyal to bli flag and to his country. May heaven forbid that it oyer should be. May the time never come when the American people will ap plaud those who drabble a flag dedicated to freedom and human progress in the blood of men who dje on their own soil resisting the same principle of British Imperialism against which America triumphed at Yorktown - town and New Orleans. Such ideas will never prevail in America.
