A German traveller a few days beâ€" fore hegan to â€"talk disloia.lly to a leocal German merchant t inkinl to please him but was shownr the door and lost bhis business. . He refers to John Manto a German of Hanover, who had just heard that his son had been dangerously wounded in France and adds "Shall British Canadians add to the sorrow of this brave lad‘s tather and mother the additional sorrow ef being despised or suspectâ€" ed becaase of their German name? Following are a few more paraâ€" graphs from an sdmirable and comprebensivye letter ; While ashaimmed of present German barbarities, Iam not ashamed ot my German name or German descent, and you would not res(gect me if I were. Like most other Canadiars oft German detcent I am descended. not from the military mad Germany of toâ€"day but from a Germany of better days, of higher ideals and nobler pursaits ; and for the German people et Caoada I ask even in these sad, gloomy and excitable war times and unquestionably wrong German aws, for which we German Canadians are in zo way responsible, British jusâ€" tice and British tair play." As with many other German Caâ€" nadians, my business success has been much greater than I would have been at all likely to have achâ€" ieved had I started lite in Germany under the same disadyantage of lack of capital, and I acknowledge with gratitude the success I have had and the kindnesses I have received as a Canadian citizen, and my contentâ€" ment under Britain‘s flag. 1 have never been in Germany and have no connection with Germany in wny way and have no desire that the flag ot Germany shall ever fly oyer Canadâ€" ian soil ; fully realizing that such a thing would be a catastrophe and would largely curtail the liberty, freedom and privileges of every citi zen of this Dominion. I have no sympatby whatever with such atrocâ€" ities ae the sinking of the Lusitania, the use of poison by the German army or the killing or wounding of innoâ€" cent women ard children in the name of war. _ It is not war, it is toul and inexcusable murder. "1 am over 70 years of age ; and my father when a yvery young man, eame from Germavny and settled in Waterloo County, Ontario, where I was born. Icame to Hanover, Grey Co, fifty years ago, without capital save a good sound body and a deterâ€" mination to succeed, it economy and industry could bring suceess. Ihave succeeded to such an extent that I am now ‘president and a chief shareâ€" holder of the Knechtel Furniture Co. Ltd , baying large factories in Hanâ€" over, Walkerton and Southampton with some of the most prominent and best known British Canadian citizens of Hanover as fellow shareholders ; and am also president and manager Ef&ho Hanovyer Portland Cement Co. td . After referring to the Star editorial which prompted the writing of the letter he says ; No one, except the insanely bigotâ€" ted, can deny the German race pride in their aneestral home, from which came many blessings to the world ‘"befere the accursed days of German militarism" as Mr. Knechtel says. We are sure readers of the Keview after reading the extracts we give from Mr Knechtel‘s letter will not treat their fellow citizens of German descent unfairly or look upon them with suspicion. Mr. D. Knesbtel, head of the great Manover Forniture Co. had a letter in Toronto Star last week, dealing with the war situation and the attiâ€" tade ot German Canadians thereto. It is couched in an admirable strain and appeals to his feilow countryâ€" mep of British ancestry not to misâ€" juadgo the German element amongst them who bave found in Canada not only a home but an outlet for their energies that has brought ample reâ€" ward. Helouks upon the methods of the Kaiser and his advisers as ‘"‘foul and inexcusable murder, not war," and wants to see triumph the Allies and the principles che Allies are fighting for and believes that that is the attitede of the great bulk of his countrymen in Canada.
