The en tanta In the meantime Is awaiting the shock
with supreme confidence In their ability lo withstand

lias paan done in the very recent piist in March nnd
April of this year when the Prussians with nur-

for a taper-Napoleonic victory. It was to lie ona

Ona by one the Oerman-languags newspapers In
tba Unttad fttatas ara euccumbtng to tha nation-
wide demand for the oppression of everything Oar-
man In America Oradually those magnificent organ-
isations art dissolving thoae grant presses becoming
a silent monument to Americanism and a warning to
tha sentiment which supports kalaerlam. Borely tha
weight of loyalty to the cause of llbarty la breaking
down propaganda nf the enemy In our midst and
thoae men who have stand hrssenly for militarism In
Ihe land uf freedom are being forced to realice that
they are objects of scorn and reproach and suspicion.
Possibly unwillingly hut nevertheless certainly they
are withdrawing from public gaae. They gire tbalr
own versions of the reasons for quitting and with
these excuaea step behind tha curtain and disappear.
The principal reason for tha suspension of these
papers Is attributable to two main causae tha re-
fusal of advertisers to patronise them and the re-
fusal or the newsdealers to handle them. Back of
this la ths opinion of the Amerlcsn public which la
trystallslng more and mora as the war progresses
snd aa wa ara all compelled to aacrlflce because of
Germany's actlona. No one can be fooled aa to who
to thank for wheatleaa bread ahd augsrlese coffee;
for beautiful lawns and flower plata turned Into gar-
dens for pinching and aavlng and scheming; for
sleeveless blouaea and vacant chairs and stifled moans
from darkened rooms. And as these demanda are
Increaaed and the burdens become heavier from day
to day the sufferers turn with greater vehemence
upon those agents of the bloody emperor who are In
America seeking to Justify his murders and his wanton
destruction of property.
The German press of thin country Is to blame for
the treatment It la now receiving at the hands of the
American people. The Uermnn preaa which la hang-
ing crepe on Its orflce doors has been German at
heart all the time. It haa son -in to uphold the war
plana of the Prussian militarists; it has been an apolo-
gist for Germsn butcheries; It has Ink n sides against
America In the Iusitanla crime: it baa been un-
American wholly disloyal and perversely Prussian
throughout the months during which ths United
Btatea haa heen an open enemy of Germany and her
war. Therefore the German press can thank Its
own acts for the decision of the American public that
It shall no longer live In our midst. The German
pressiay also thank that civilisation In which the
people of America are Immersed that Its offices and
its costly machinery have not been Germanised
demolished In justifiable wrath. But In America It
Is different. These sympsthlsers with Prussian ambi-
tions and outrages have been permitted to retire and
to relnin their property. The people simply decided
that their publications were not wanted and they
succeeded in making this fact plain In a firm but
very respectable proceeding.
There may be a few other German-language news-
papers which are trying to weather the gale of Ameri-
can scorn but they will have to have financial assist-
ance from the fatherland If they succeed. And while
they may print their papers there will be few aside
from their own proofreader who will scsn their
columns.
it takes a good long time to beat anything Into the
head of a Herman but eventually they will realise
that thia war was a mistake.
CROATF.
mgjnby larmmd Vance
The iron croa is black as death and hard as human hate;
The wooden croan i white and still and whispers us 'Too late''
But the Red Croat tinga of life and love and hearts regenerate.
The iron cross it a boastful croa and marks a war-mad alave;
The wooden cross ia a dumb dead crott and guards a shallow grave.
But the Red Croat reaches out its arms to solace and to save.
The iron Croat it a kaiser's crott and narrow it its clan;
The wooden Croat it a soldier's crott and mourns itt partisan.
But the Red Crott it the crott of One who served hit fellow-mer.

Our Turn Now.
Prom the New York Times.)
When the war broke nut all k.oo.1 Germana were
Instructed to hate Russia as lis originator. Later it
became more advisable to hate England so the Ger-
man people were ordered to hate her and did so.
Now hate Is being organised from headquarters ugalnst
the United states This country Is being portrayed as
a greedy monstsr whose aim la the commercial con-
ouest of Europe. The Cologne Volksseltung for In-
stance calls upon "tha whole of Europe Including of
course England and Franre" to unite against the
American Mammon. The World truthfully aayt that
thia Is the best posalble evidence ot tha fact that we
have at last become a real danger to tha German
rulers tliut "the German general ataff never pro-
claims national hatred except when It Is afraid" but
II adds:
"Kiin so how as reaaonable beings are we
to account for ths lunatic Idea that Frailee and
Great Britain to whose aid this mighty force Is
sweeping should turn upon It and make common
cause with the enemyT"
Germany does not expect It and there Is nothing
"lunatic" about tha expectation which she really doea
entertain. Hhe doea not expect that tha governments
of Frsnce and Great Britain will be fools enough to

will be plenty of fools In those countries who will.
It Is u mistak to eatlmate thia campaign of hate
as mere panic and rage. It Is carefully calculated
and very Intelligent. Judge the future by the past.
What haa been the purpose uf these campaigns of
hate when directed agalnat other countries? By that
we can tell what It the jiurpoee of this one.

could delay no longer her promised reve-
lations Oswald had given ber his moth-
er's wedding ring snd as they were talk-
ing together berore she sent him her man
uscrlpl. Its said: "Corinne whatever the
future may be I swear to you that I will
never marry another till you aend me
back that ring. Thus you aee yon have.
In t measure our doom in your own
hand.."
perhaps when you bars read my bit-
lory" aaid Corinne.
"v. no!" answered Oswald "tear not
from me the word adieu except from my
deathbed." Corinne retired snd Boon arter
her mild brought him the papers whlcb
hi wat now to read.
The narrative or Corimie began with the
startling statement "Lord Edgsrmond was
my rather." Tbe story wis In errect that
Lord Edgsrmond's rirat wife had been
llaman. She hid died when Corinne wis
10 years old and she had gone to live with
sn sunt In Florence where she bad lived
until abe wai ID. And there her tastes
and Menta had been developed until the
death of the aunt when Lord Edgarmond
who had returned lo England and married
gain aenl Mr bla daughter to Join bun In
.lorthumberlind. Her mother from ber
infancy hid Impresaed upon Corinne toe
misery of living in sny plsce but Italy
her sunt hsd always apoken or England as
I birbirous Country and the thought or
going to her father's land rilled the girl
with rear. She approached the north with
s depressed mind. It wss rive yesrs since
she hsd seen ber rather; abe hardly rec-
ognised blm when it Isst she reached his
Is. mo. His countenance seemed to her
very stern snd grive yet he received ber
with tendernesa.
Her half sister Lucy then . 3 years or
age was brought to her. The child's
akin wis fair snd ber hair more golden
than any ahe hid ever seen berore. At
laat Lsdy Ergtrmond appeared. She was
t cold dignified silent person whose
eyes could turn affectionately upon ber
child but who usually wore so poalUve tn

and Lord Edgirmond whom abe ruled
over bad given up hla realdrnce In Edin-
burgh snd London it ber orders. She met
her step .laughter with t cold politeness.
During dinner hardly t word wss said
and the lively Italian girl became so tiren
of this alienee that ahe entered into con
versation with an old gentleman wbo sst
next her. She spoke Efffiish fairly
ber rather having seen to it that ahe wia
Instructed In that language. But happening
to rite some Italian poetry In which there
was some mention of love. Lidy Edgar

ladles earlier tbin usual to withdraw and
leave tbe gentlemen to their wine.
Corinne was intensely surprlaed at the
withdrawal of the lidies no such custom
being known In Italy snd it rirst tbougbt
the step mother was so shocked thtt she
would not remain in the same room with
ber. But she was reassured by Lsdy Ed-
gsrmond motioning her to follow wltb
tbe other and the young stranger went
to the drawing-room In itite of bewil-
derment. Lidy Edgirmond told ber gently
that II wis not customary for young la-
dles or ber age to talk and above ill thit
tbey should never quote poetry In whlcb
the name or love appeared.
"Miss Edgirmond" ahe said "you musi
forget ill tbit belonga to Italy: It'll to

walk out but waa astonished at a denae
fog wblrh completely bid the sun. Her
father said to her: "My dear child. It la
not here as it Is In Italy. Our women
hive no orrapatlona live their domestic
duties. Your tslenls may beguile your
solitude snd you may win i husband who
will take pride In them. But In a country
town like this ill that sttrarts attention
creates envy snd you win never marry it
II If It Is thought thsl you htvt foreign

wltb your mother and the recollection of
thoae years Is very sweet to me. But I
hive returned now to my original situa-
tion and am tpilte comfortable. One must
not combat the habits and ruatoms of a
community In which he Uvea; he It tb
loser If be attempts to do ta II Is better
to betr t little ennui thin lo be beset by
wondering rices that every Instant de-
imnd the reason for w hat you do."
II wilt be perceived that this transplant

uncongenial still amid the fogs and ror-
msllUes or Northumberlsnd. Her rather
like the real or bis neighbors hunted
drsnk and alepi and waa perfectly eon-
tented with iucb a lire. Or rather ber
rather waa resigned to It while the other
country gentlemen fancied tt the wisest

ss much concerned with regard lo the
thoughts or ber step daughter tt with re-
gird lo ber ictlona. In abort Corinne hid
I mlierable time or It. They were trying
to make the Italian over Into a finished
Hrltlsh article snd It could not be done.
Her only rest amusement wss the educa-
tion or little Lucy. Her mother did not
wish ber to learn muelo It wis too friv-
olousbut permitted Corinne to teach her
drtwlng when she wsa old enough tnd
also Itallsn which latter waa a great con-
ceallon a bowing to Baal as It were.
Corinne might have paaaed ber lire amid
these uncongenial surroundings In this
frigid llmoaphere which seemed to freeze
her soul hid ihe not lost her nthsr.

Hid Corinne spoken to blm of tbe In-
numerable annoyances to which an active
and reeling mind was subjected In North-
umberland he would merely have thought
she hsd tbe "vapora." and recommended
her lo get on her horse snd lake a gallop.
How abe longed ror Italy how inexpress-
ibly homesick she wss ror her nativo Und

Msclinson ahe would not which Lidy Ed-
garwond thought very presumptuous or

odious. . At t she had s right to ber
mother's fortune and lo whatever ber
father bad ten ber. Then ihe begin to
dream or returning to Italy and devoting
neraeir to the arts. When she broached
the matter to Lady Edgirmond that aus-
tere matron said: "Vou 'ire your own t
mistress Miss Edgsrmond; but if you Iske
sny step which would dishonor you In the
eyes of Ihe world you owe It to your
family to take another name and sUow
yourseir to be reported dead."
Soon arter thia Tberealna tbe mild

Italy came to her In gn at excitement to

some traders whom abe knew. "The best
people in tbe world ror they were all
Italians." In I week they were to sail for
Italy again and ir Madame had decided.
When the maid had gone Corinne thought
deeply-and wss sorely tempted. There-
