And listen to this: 'Delegates of the Austro-Hungarian Government will take part in the investigation relating thereto. Austrian lawyers and probably judges investigating Servian subjects in Servia? Why, the thing is impossible." "It is quite evident," said Hugo Raeder, "that Austria means war." "Poor little Servia, she will soon be eaten up," said Rowena.
As Raeder and his company entered there was first a silence, then a quick hum of voices, and finally applause, which grew in volume till it broke into a ringing cheer. There was no longer any doubt as to where the sympathy of the men of the University Club, at least, lay in this world conflict. Two days later a telegram was placed upon Larry's desk.
As they were nearly back to the office again, he ventured his first observation, for throughout the drive he had confined his speech to monosyllabic answers to Raeder's stream of talk. "In spite of it all, I believe the navy is all right," he said, with savage emphasis. "My dear chap," exclaimed Raeder, "did you ever doubt it? Did you read the account of the fight?"
Now I am going in to see the boss. He thinks the same way, too, but he does not say much out loud." New hope and courage came into Larry's heart as he listened to the pronouncement of this clear-headed, virile young American. Oh, if America would only say out loud what Raeder had been saying, how it would tone up the spirit of the Allies!
"Beautiful, beautiful, glorious!" echoed Meyer. "But I do not understand," said Larry. "Are you still a citizen of Germany?" "I am an American citizen, and proud of it," exclaimed Professor Schaefer, dramatically. "Ach, so, geviss," said Meyer. "Sure! an American citizen!" "But you are also a citizen of Germany?" enquired Hugo Raeder.
"'Well, your Canadian has really settled down into his place in the office and into his own rooms. It was all we could do to hold him with us for a month, he is so fearfully independent. Are all Canadians like that? The Mater would have been glad to have had him remain a month longer. But would he stay? He has a way with him. He has struck up a terrific friendship with Hugo Raeder.
"Why, Schaefer, what's the rush? Are you caught in the market?" said Wakeham with a little laugh. "You cannot do anything to-night at any rate, you know. We will have you in early to-morrow morning." "No, no, to-night, now, immediately!" shouted Meyer in uncontrollable excitement. "But why all the excitement, Schaefer?" said Hugo Raeder, smiling at him.
"I am not so sure of that, Professor Schaefer," said Hugo Raeder. "I was in Germany when that law was passed. It aroused a great deal of interest. I have not looked into it myself, but on the face of it I should say it possesses certain rather objectionable features." "Not at all, not at all, I assure you," exclaimed Professor Schaefer.
"It permits a German to become an American citizen, and at the same time allows him to retain his connection, his heart connection, with the Fatherland. It is a beautiful law." "A beautiful law," echoed his friend, Mr. Meyer. "Just what is the connection?" insisted Hugo Raeder. "Dear friend, let me explain to you. It permits him to retain his place, his relations with his own old country people.
"Say, old chap," said Larry as they stepped out of the car, "you have done me a mighty good turn this morning, and I will not forget it." "Oh, that is all right," said Raeder. "We have got to stand together in this thing, you know." "Stand together?" said Larry. "Yes, stand together. Don't you forget it. We are with you in this.
