Since certain phases of Germany's active warfare prompted President Wilson to lay down the law to the belligerent nations, Schwing silenced many discussions among his German friends with the admonition, "We are Americans now." The situation caused him much sorrow, for love for the Fatherland had survived all the years of the new life In America. When the break was announced in the newspapers, Schwing became depressed and moody. He told his son, Rudolph, that the serious differences which had arisen between this country and the Fatherland "hurt his heart."

If his statement that 'more than half of the money we give is spent in getting it," is meant to apply to our Federation, then Mr. Rottenberg says what he knows to be untrue.

The Federation's cost of administration has never exceeded 3 0 and has been as low as 5 per cent. And what is more. Federation has raised double the money for charitable purposes than Its affiliated societies collected before federation. This is my personal attitude and undoubtedly the board of directors, at its meeting tonight, will consider some of the other statements that have been made." DREXLER GETS $250 VERDICT.
