HEXAMEft LAUDS GERMAN CITIZEN Head of German-American Alliance, in Banquet Speech, Censures Neutrality as Carried Out. FREEDOM, TEUTONS' ONLY IDEAL THK BKK: OMAHA, KATUlilttY, JULY 24, 1915. TlEXAMF.lt IS KTITOME "The neutrality of the United States has worse effect upon Ger many than if we were at war with the Fatherland." "Germany's only ideal is free dom." "There are alleged Americans who scorn German-Americans and call us 'undesirables,' yet 200,000 of our 'undesirable' forefathers fought for the Red, Wh'te and Blue during the civil war." "German-American parents, you must preserve ln your children the ideals of the Fatherland." "Show your love for your land of birth by singing German Bongs." "Americans love money. Ger mans love nature. "Old Glory has np more loyal defenders than her so-called hy phenated citizens the German-Americans." With fiery words against alleged "un-American" interests and influ ences, Dr. Charles John Hexamer of Philadelphia, president of the Ger man-American Alliance of America, at a banquet in his honor at the Fon- tenelle last night, spoke to Germans in attendance at the saengerfest of the Saengerbund of the Northwest. A big man, with a dramatic pernonallty. Sr. Hexamer quickly had his listeners under the spell of his oratory. Almost his first statement, after voicing Ms appreciation of the Haengerfest, the grueets present, and the singers, was a tern denunciation of the American press, which' he declared to be pro-British, be cause the money powers that profit by ammunition sales demand that it be so. The school system received a caustic criticism from him because youngsters .re taught, he said, that a German is a "beer drinking person who beats his wife nd snores loudly." Seldom In the publlu schools Is mention made, he said, of the Oermon pioneers in science. Invention, art cr music, but Instead, to the growing generation ' are shown roseate pictures of other nationalities. "The German Ideal is liberty. Just as was the ideal of those brave souls who first came to this land to evade tyranny. Into the mind and heart of every child should be Instilled this one fundamental principle. In this country, however, gold seems to be the ideal. This melting-pot of humanity turns out a race of people who would destroy the beauties of nature to turn the earth Inside out for gold. The IMoneer fierimtn. "Germans in the early days met the Indians with the Bible instead . of. the musket. In Pennsylvania In the early days there were ten newspapers, while In all the other colonies together there were only eight. The first 'made-ln-Amerlca' Bible, was printed In Pennsyl vania In the German language. "During the war. between the colonies and England, General Washington's army was once saved from annihilation by a corps of seventy-nine German tjharpuhoot-. era. Later In Pennsylvania, nine German ' patriots subscribed $100,(100 that the ragged ' heroes under Washington might have I hoes and clothes and food. The students 1 of American history will remember with : loving thoughts the efforts of Baron Kteuben against the tyrannical British rule and jet this wonderful race la be ing spat upon In scorn by some people Ih this country today. Wronn of ilralHr "As the situation now Is, the United Etates might much better declare war against Germany than keep up the pres ent kind of neutrality that permits the exportation of arms exclusively to en emies of Germany." Dr. Hexamer closed bis speech with a Ilea for a closer organisation of German citizens in America, and declared that the time is ripe for German-Americans to stand up and assert their rights. Val Peter, editor of the Omaha Daily German Tribune, was toastmaster, and Introduced the speakers. The banquet was given by the delegates of the Ne braska German-American Alliance, the Omaha German-American Alliance, and the board ' of directors of the Omaha Baengertest association. In honor of Dr. Hexamer and the grand officers of the Northwestern Saengerbund. association. The sololals were also Invited. Guests did not commence to arrive un til nearly midnight, after the evening concert at the Auditorium, 'and because of the lateness of the hour the banquet program was not as lengthy as the com mittee on arrangements desired. In Introducing the principal speaker. Toast master Peter presented him with a beautiful bouquet of roses of the late Kaiser Frederick's favorite species. ' Other Addreaaes. Congressman C. O. Lobeck waa the next speaker. He paid high tribute to German progress In the United Ktates, to German Intelligence, German thrift and German ability. Hans De Muth, president of the South Dakota German American alliance, also spoke briefly. All of the speakers offered warm praise tor those who helped to make this gath ering of the Northwestern saengerbund the grand success that Is already as sured. Between the speeches Henri Scott and 11 Us Christine Miller, favorites at the concert earlier In the evening, gave vo cal selections. Nearly 200 delegates attended the ban quet given in the big Fontenelle ball room. POLICE BELIEVE BOYS PLAY TRICKS WIJH AUTOS C. H. Denker of Elk horn.

PANAMANIANS ARE TO BLAME Ftent rooms quick with a Bee Want Ad. II. U. Metcalfe did not chew, smoke or drink before taking his official job In the Panama renal sone. Well, no, he has not grne entirely wrong since, either. That la not the story. But he did learn to smoke. Thereby hangeth a yarn. Soon after he got to Panama the Pan amanians high In official positions t-n-1red Mr. Metcalfe a banqvwt. As guest of honor he was seated at the head of the table with native rilrnltarlea on either aide. Before the banquet opened one of the silk hat natives offered Met calfe the courtesy of a bite of his plu of tnliaeco. "No, I thank you. I don't Use It," said Metcalfe In English, or perhaps Indif ferent Spanish. At the table were several glasses be fore each plate. When the waiters glided around with their bottles of choice brands Metcalfe refueod to take the wine. The Panamanlnn hosts supposed he was meroty rejecting the first brand, and that he would surely accept the Bur gundy or the claret. Put Burgundy went by, and h-n It came t olaret. Metcalfe turned down all his glasses. Hefaaed Them .411. 'No thank you. I don't use wins, either," he said, reddentng. digging Ms fore finger under Ms collar and Jerking It away from his throat ss thouh It were choking him. The Panamanians leaned back a little and looked at him in surprise. What manner of man was this that would nolther chew good tolwoco or drink choice wine? In due tint came the cigars. "No, I thank you, I never smoke." wss Metcalfe's assertion, as he crooked his forefinger Into his collar and dug It awsy from his reddening throat. The native dignitaries leaned hack, glanced at one another, breathod hard, and were silent. Metcalfe's fsce grew more and mire red. It was all right not to smoke, chew or drink In Omaha or Lin coln, but In this company, at surh a banquet. It wss unhesrd of, and those who were extending their hospitality were not geratly plraned. Falls Off lter Metcalfe ftmnk Wagoa. hurried to his home. where he found his son on the front porch smoking a cigar. The moon rode high over the palms, and the fragrance from the son's cigar was sweet In the luxurious Panama night. "Le, give me a cigar, quirk," snapped Mr. Metcalfe. "I never felt so foolish In my life ss I did tonight. I'm going to have at least one bad habit." And that Is why R. I.. Metcalfe came back to America smoking. DR.
