The Teutons are of Aryan descent and cam from Asia before the dawn of history. First mention is made of them about 330 B C when they were described as living between the Rhine and the Baltic Sea. They were said to be of tall stature fair complexion and to have yellow or red hair. They were of great strength and fond of fighting. Their homes were among the trees in rude huts. The women were required to do most of the work.
At the last annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, which was attended by three thousand men representing organizations from all over the country, the following resolution was passed:

apathist (to coin a word) is pretty nearly as

the pacifist, plant the red flag over him and
warn straight Americans to give him a wide
berth. But your apathist! What in heaven's
name are you going to do with this chap!
IT is with reverence and admiration that dim the eyes and halt speech that Americans turn to greet their oldest and dearest friend, their best and bravest ally, on. this her day.
