"I don't blame him for playing a trick on old Sharp, but to lay the blame on Tom why, that's different." "Will you come along?" "If you want me to." "I don't want to drag you into trouble, Max." "I dink I can take care of myself," answered the German-American student. The pair passed around to the rear of the spot where Flockley and his cronies were located.
I grew in time to be actually fond of him, passed with him entire afternoons and evenings in his library, mourned sincerely when he died, and went with Schurz to Boston, on the occasion when that great German-American delivered the memorial address in honor of the dead Abolitionist. Of all the public men of that period Carl Schurz most captivated me.
This was made the occasion of a sort of German-American love-feast. Zimmermann, although he had to go early in the evening to meet the Foreign Minister of Austria-Hungary, was present; Helfferich, Vice-Chancellor and Secretary of the Interior; Dr.
I know a case of one young girl, a German-American, whose parents returned to Hamburg, who declined to repeat the ridiculous German formula, "Gott strafe England," and stuck to her point, with the result that she was not invited to that circle again. To the cry "Gott strafe England" has been added "Gott strafe Amerika," the latter being as popular with the German women as the German men.
"Yes that is, a German-American. He is a metallurgist, quite wonderful, I believe. He does a lot of work for father, and you will doubtless have a good deal to do with him yourself. And he spoke so highly of Canada and of Canadians that I felt sure you would be glad to meet him.

"That is the country where every one does just as he pleases." "Sometimes." "They are free?" "Nearly always." "They tell me that women there are all queens." "We are there, or here, always your humble servants."

He shook hands all round very cordially and sat down, asking in his loud, cheerful voice for a whisky and soda. He was very fat and he sweated profusely.
Then she sent us some of her newspaper articles and a lot of clippings from German journals, requesting us to transmit them in the Legation pouch to America. This we politely declined, with the plea of "non possumus". Whereupon she was furious and denounced us to the German authorities and the German-American press.
It will be placed, with those above referred to, at the close of this chapter. Especially noteworthy also was the farewell dinner given me at the Kaiserhof by the German-American Association. Never had I seen so many Germans eminent in politics, diplomacy, literature, science, art, education, and commerce assembled on any single occasion.
Directly or indirectly, the German-American public is responsible for them indirectly, by inflammatory speeches, reckless journalism, and point-blank laudation of illegal acts; directly well, here I can speak only from my own suspicions, so I will remain silent.
