"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans
WitONG VIEW TAKEN BY SOMl
GERMANS
While it is true that a very large
uart of the German-Americans ir
this country' are loyal to America in
ttie present war, there are a few
*'fco have failed to reader patriotic
service to this country.
Jacob Cratts. a German by birth
lu a letter iu the Auburn iNeb.) R<
iiulUcau, asks ' several pointed
questions of his fellow German.Am
erlcans that they should, in al.
fairness read and consider carefully
Mr. Cratts especially urges thai
Germans should not fight the coun
try that feeds them aud haa brouglr
'heai prosperity and happiness.
The letter of Mr. Cratts follows;
"1 hfvc seen severaal articles about
Germans trying to raise strife in
this country. I am a German by
hir'h and I am an American, heart
and Jiand. i will tell you why I
loft Germany. There were ten in
our family aud we were poor, like
fflost of our countrymen who ar«
come to the good United States oj
America to get away from oppres
sion and it was a hard matter tc
teso the wolf away from the dooi
a' times. When I landed in thij
country I secured work at once a»d
received more money for one
month's work than I got in German
lor one year's work. I sent for my
fo'ks and I am proud they are all
true American citteens and will
answer to the president's call tc
arms against Germany or any other
country when needed.
"I don't see how my countrymen
can go back on Uncle Sam. They
ramg here without a cent and made
money iere. Now they want to fight
the country that feeds them. The
kaiser never did anything for them
or for me. II he had we would be
back there yet. All he did was to
etart this cruel war and starve all
our Beople there and make soldiers
out of everybody fcnd force them
to work for his dirty 12 cents a
day with a fourth of a pound of
meat and a loaf of black bread. I
hope to see the day when he is
kicked out of Germany and a presi
dent put in his place. You dont
see any Americans going over there
tor Jobg or to any other nation.
The? are happy hare and don't ow<
any allegiance to any king or
kaiser. 1 hope Uncle Sam will win.
Hurrah lor President Wilson!
"Stop all foreign papers printed
la the United States, if they cau't
read English let them learn, and
keep all foreign languages out of
the schools. The English language
Is g«od enough for anybody.
"JACOB CRATTS."

Unt'i time to go homo the Ska-sway '
Public School will hold their llal-1
loweeu party.
This will be iu the uature of a|
"Mock Couuty Fair." All rooms of
the building will be used for the |
entel taiumeut and all the nece0-1
sary and unnecessary thliigs requir- |
ed to make up a first class county i
/air will be there.
The main hall dojvu stairs will be
1 for the Agricultural exhibits.
All citizeus of Skagway tire usked
to report to the chairman of this
committee the largest pumpkin, po
tato, cabbage, beets, etc., aud have
t lie ft. ready to be shown. We would
also be glad to have an exhibit of
Skagway canned vegetables, pickle.;,
meats and anything which, you be
lieve would add to the exhibit.
Fancy work will also be acceptable.
The Domestic Scieuce depart
ment will have charge of the culin
aiy arts, and the 3Umual Training I
department of the manual training j
exhibit. General school work will |
also be on exhibition in the main |
ball.
Th*1 side showa and ohter attrac
tions will be given in the different j
rooms under the direction of the,
committee appointed for this pur- j
pose. Amoug these attractions wiil
be several vaudeville stunts, an aui
mat show, an art gallery, a coun
try store and some others which
may develop later.
Admission to the main flyor will
be free. Admission to the several
attractions will varj; from 1 cent to
25 cents, according to the fame of
the actors employed. We expect to
sell "Hot Dogs" sandwiches, coffee,
popcorn and everything else you
could buy at any good county fair,
including "doughnuts, like your |
mother used to make"
First of all we expect to have a
good time, and of whatever money
we clear we will give 10 percent
tr. the Junior Red Cross and set
aoide the remainder towards a fund
to be used for the purchase of a
Victorola for the school. All are
cordially invited. We propose to
held it on Friday, rather than Wed
nesday so as not to iutrefere with
other town arrangements and so
that we may have a longer evening
than may be permitted us on the
regular Halloween evening.
