GERMANS IN BLOOD, BRITISH IN FEELING. ITO vs. Erma or

The German wives were devoted to England they had no wish to return to live in Germany. The children were sent to English schools, and were almost aggressively English. We know that the mother is mainly responsible for the ideals adopted by her child. Mr. A. Pratt's letter in your issue of April 24th strikes a discordant note. OEM would like to know what the German wives in America think of the views he publishes. One German boy, a crack shot of Cambridge University, told his parents seven years aggro that if there were war between England and Germany, he should fight for England. He and a brother, as well as other sons of German parents, have given their services to the Army of this country. Are the conditions in America
different in tote am, Sir, Ac., LIONEL B. WELLS.
