Editor Daily Times:
A four-minute drive to the under
standing, honor, justice, peace and pn
triotism of the heart of the foreign
born inhabitant of this great repub
lic:
What have you done for Uncle Sam
to help win the war? I mean ym—
yes, you, who were born in Sweden,
Norway, Denmark, Poland, Austria,
Germany, Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia,
Greece, Montenegro, France, England,
Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, South
America—yes, and the United States.
Now, do you fancy I do not mean you
when I ask if you have ever given
a thought to the fact that your safety,
your freedom, your honor, your
health, your very life, your opportu
nity to work for a big wage, accumu
late riches, raise and educate a fam
ily in a free country, free schools,
free press, free speech—these all, and
more, are in jeopardy,
How would you like to have a Hun
with a gun on his shoulder herding
you on a farm, raising grain for the
kaiser? What joy would it be to be
herded in a coal or copper mine
twelve hours a day for your board
and clothes?
Oh, but you say, I am a German
sympathizer or a German subject.
Make no mistake, Mr. Slacker. That
means you just as much as a loyal
American citizen. The kaiser would
trust no man who had once enjoyed
the riches and blessings of free
America and learned the lessons of a
free democracy, with no king and no
master. And you most certainly
would not enjoy immunity from the
perils and deprivations put upon our
fair land should the kaiser win this
war.
But stop a minute—listen, consider.
There is a more weighty reason why
you should support Uncle Sam. This
great country threw its gates wide
open and invited you to come to the
land of milk and honey. Uncle Sam
said, “Come and be one of us, a part
of us; come and dig in our gold fields;
bring your family and friends, and
stay with us. Make your home here,
raise and educate your family.” Then,;
when you received Uncle Sam’s invi-j
tation, you thought the matter over!
something like this: Germany is myj
home, the land of my forefathers. My
friends and relatives and everything
I hold dear are here, and here I have
enjoyed the confidence of my friends.
The kaiser, the weaHXty barons and
the military rulers have always made
laws to govern me and have seen to
my necessities, so that I and my wife,
my brothers and sisters, have always
had work in the fields, wooden shoes
on our feet, clothes on our backs, and
plenty of coarse food to eat. Our
lords and masters have allowed us!
to provide for ourselves as well as j
they provide for their other animals J
their horses and cattle, so that we I
will always be fit for work or war.
A spell of gloom envelopes you as
you ponder upon your environments,!
and then a happy thought—a resolve!
to write to Uncle Hans in America to
send you a ticket to come.
And then you came.
Uncle Sam met you at the boat land
ing, took you by the hand, saying:
“Fritz, we have been waiting for you.
Why did you not come sooner? I dis
carded my wooden shoes and came
over many years ago. We have got a
job for you on the O. B. & X. railway,
$5 per day, and here, take this book
along with you and study our laws
and the constitution of the United
States. In a few years we want to
send you to congress as our repre
sentative.”
And now, Mr. Foreign-Born Pro
German, Pro-Austrian, Pro-Bulgarian
or Pro-Turk, I want to ask you, is
not this logic true to life? Do you
not realize that the United States is
your government, that you have the
privilege of helping to make its laws;
that this is your new home and that
you are in honor bound to help pro
tect it? Prejudice means previous
and unfavorable bias, as prejudgment
without due examination. Are you
prejudiced against the United States?
If so, cast it from you as unworthy
of an honorable man. Come forth like
a brother, raise your voice in defense
of this, your country. Buy Liberty
bonds and look your American brother
in the face and say “I am with you in
defense of this fair country, your
homes, your freedom, your happiness,
your lives.” C. S. BRATTON.

TELLS Of PLOT
Werner Horn, the German reserve
officer who tried to destroy the inter
national bridge at Vanceboro, Me.,
was a type of German that is all too
seldom found. He had been ted to
believe by the infamous Von Papen
that he was performing an actual mili
tary operation against an enemy of
his country, and was told that by
tying the German colors to his sleeve
he was transformed from a criminal
into a German officer on military
duty.
Further than that, he could not
bring himself to sign his name to a
lie “on his honor as a German of
ficer,” and so his attempt to blow up
the bridge led him into the hands of
Canadian justice.
Horn’s confession Is a most inter
esting document. It appears in print
for the first time in World’s Work
for April. The first paragraph reads:
“I, Werner Horn, after having been
advised that my extradition to Can
ada has been asked for by the gov
ernment of Great Britain, and that
anything that I may say will or may
be used against me In an extradition
proceeding by the United States or in
a prosecution by the United States'
if it shall be found that I have vio
lated any of the laws of that coun
try, and that I may decline to talk
at all or to answer any particular
questions, do voluntarily, willingly
and without any promises other than
that my case will be dealt with by the
United States fairly, impartially and
in accord with law, make this state
ment.”
He then states that he was a Ger
man lieutenant in inactive service,
and that he was employed on a coffee
plantation in Central America when
the war began. Two hours after the
call to arms reached him he was on
his way. He traveled to New York,
back to Galveston, to New Orleans,
and finally back to New York before
finally giving up efforts to secure pas
sage to Europe. In New York he met
Captain von Papen, who, by skillful
lying, made Horn believe that it was
his duty as a soldier to blow up the
Y'anceboro bridge, over which muni-!
tions were being shipped to Halifax.
In dictating his confession Horn
repeated a story which he had told
previously, and which had set posses !
scouring the Maine woods in search
of “Tommy,” an imaginary Irish ac-|
complice. Horn said this man had
met him on the Canadian side of the|
bridge, and had given him the explo-!
sives with which the bridge had been
damaged.
When Horn had finished his con
fession the officer to whom he had dic
tated it added this sentence, “I cer
tify on my honor as a German officer
that the foregoing statements are!
true."
The officer then asked Horn to sign,
the statement. The German was non
plussed. He fumbled the paper, ran,
his fingers through his hair, finally|
pushed the confession back, grinned
sheepishly, and said, “Tommy.”
“You mean,” replied the officer,
“that it’s all true except the part!
about Tommy?” Horn said that that
was exactly what he meant. The of-,
fleer then erased the period and added
to the sentence so that it read, “I
certify on my honor as a German of
ficer that the foregoing statements
are true except as to ‘Tommy’—that I
did not buy the nitro-glycerin, but re
ceived it in New York and took it [
with me in the suit case. I cannot
say from whom I received it.”
This Horn signed, and later, as a
result, he was turned over to the
Canadian officials for trial and pun
ishment.
