President. a year ago I visited Germany. I was tremendously impressed with the German people and with the evidences of progress and stability that appeared on every hand. The people I there saw and associated withthere were not included any political leaders or military chieftainswere apparently of the same sturdy stock--cleareyed. cleanlivingas the immigrants who have come from that land in other days in such great number to make their homes in America. I refer to the German immigrants whose toil -and genius have contributed so much to the rapid development of this New World. It is not flattery to repeat that of all the races that have mingled in this melting pot that we .call the United States. none can justly claim precedence in quality or strength to the German. We have no more patriotic. peaceloving. industrious citizens than these millions of Ger.man stock.
