ACTIVITIES OF GERMANS
RESENTED ALSO IN BRAZIL;
(By Associated Press)
RIO GRANDE DO SUL. Brazil, Jan.
30.—Prompted by the belief that Ger
man residents have fomented and sup
ported railway strikes and other labor
troubles in southern Brazil, the Brazil
ian government has prepared to take
severe steps to prevent any further
German inspired disturbances.
Large forces of troops now are quar
tered in southern Brazil and the custom
houses at Porto Alegro and Rio Grande
are filled with artillery, which can be
transported quickly to any other points
in the southern part of the country.
By suppressing newspapers printed
in the German language and by clos
ing German schools and removing Ger
man priests from Catholic schools, the
government has succeeded in blocking
a large part of the German propagan
da and a strict censorship prevents
the spreading of news regarding Ger
man unrest or the government’s steps
for overcoming it.
There is general talk, however,
throughout southern Brazil, even by
Brazilian officials, to the effect that
the Germans have not given up their
attempt to harrass the Brazilian gov-1
eminent and embarrass its shipments '
to the entente allies. Municipal offi- j
cers in one of the principal towns of \
(he western part of the state of Rio j
Grande do Sul told men that their in-1
vestigations had led them to believe
that German support was largely res
ponsible for the success and long dura
tion of the recent railroad strikes and
- —IS M -* _ . . •! . .
that they also were convinced that the
strikes were part of a revolutionary
plan which has not been entirely
crushed.
On several occasions Brazilian peo
ple have set fire to the property of
Germans as a protest against their at
titude which has been considered de
fiant and disrespectful toward the Bra
zilian government.
Of the 1,838,240 people living in the
state of Rio Grand de Sul, it is es
timated that 40,000 are of German
birth or first generation descendants
of Germans and it has been officially
reported that there are 10,000 Ger
man reservists in the German rifle
clubs of this state alone. These Ger
mans have practically controlled the
commercial enterprises in this part of
Brazil.
Even after Brazil broke diplomatic
relations with Germany the campaign
of the Germans w-as kept up and Ger
man business houses in Rio Grande do
Sul and Porto Alegro flew the Ger
man flag from their windows without
the customary courtesy of flying the
Brazilian flag with it. The Brazilians
were denied membership In the Ger
man clubs and the German shooting
ranges.
Finally, soon after the declaration of
war. the Austrian consul in Rio Grande
do Sul attempted to smuggle several
interned German sailors out of the city
and to one of the German colonies in
the state of Santa Catharina whence
they could have found their way into
Paraguay or Argentina. The fugitive
sailors were recaptured but the consul
succeeded in reaching Paraguay.
As soon as the people became aware
of this they formed into a mob and
marched through the streets burning
German goods and stoning German
buildings as was done in Buenos Aires.
The German club in Rio Grande was
burned and bonfires were built in the
streets into which were thrown the
merchandise that was thrown out of
German shops.
