BARTIIOLDT MAKES
FAREWELL SPEECH
JJiMonrian Defends Loyalty of th
America.nl of German Descent
in the House.
TAVORS AN EMBARGO ON ARMS
WASHINGTON. Feb. 19. Tleprei
nentatlT Bartboldt of Missouri
made his fare-well speech In the
house today denouncing "tb news
paper war against Germany." He
declared Americana of German de
scent "are with all other true Amerl
rant for America first, laet and al
ways," and protested against Ameri
can shipments of arma to the allies.
"In our present demands sgslnet Rng
land." he said, "our only alternative Is
either to give In or to declare war. The)
threat of an embargo on arma, however,
would quickly bring the mlstreM of the
seas to terms without war."
rortraylng tha "atoadfant devotion 'of
eltlsena of German blood to Amerlran
Ideala and the flag,"' Mr. HarthoMt de
clared: "If, unfortunately, the t'nlted
Rtat ever again should be embroiled
tn war. whlih, heaven forbid, the Oer
mana of this country would again aa
loyally rally around the atars and stripes.
Tha Germans of this country are for
America against England, for America
against Germany, but America agalnat
the world. They will never waver for
on second tn their allegiance to their
adopted land."
Mr. Bartholdt said Americana of Oer
man oVerent have been Openly accueed
of divided allegiance and downright dis
loyalty, and that they know that "this
wanton Insult emanated from Kngllsh
and Trenrh prees agents, and they treat
It with contempt; they reaent thst In 4he
fare of our own history, tha American
press should have' opened Its columns to
such calumnies," ....

All reports sgrv that the Austrian at
last have flung the Ruaslana entirely out
of Rukowlna The Ruaslana claim that
they retired In good order, but they do
not seek to deny their retreat. Feveral
weeks ago the occupation of Bukowlne,
by the Russians and the presence of the
Auntrians near the Tloumanlane front was
hailed aa a situation which could Justify
the entry of Roumanla 'Into the ear on
the side of the allies, but todsy with
Rukowlna once more In Austrian hands
