The reputation which Milwaukee had gained throughout the United States as a German city became extremely embarrassing during the war. Newspapers everywhere charged its people with disloyalty. Locally rumors were current that prominent citizens of German descent were engaging in seditious operations. Overzealous persons resorted to unsupported charges causing unnecessary ill-feeling and unwarranted alarm. Men who were loyal to the core and whose only erime was a German name, were subjected to suspicion and derision.


But the misconception regarding Milwaukee's status in the war against Germany, spread to many sections of the United States and suggested here and there boyeotts against the trade and commerce of the city. The local commercial body saw itself compelled to right false impressions and carry the faets to the world.


These facts were to the effect that Milwaukee had demonstrated its nn- questioned loyalty to the country's cause and had contributed its full share of man, money, and machine power towards the prosecution of the war. The records proved that in all the Liberty Bond. Red Cross, and other war aid drives, it had gone brilliantly over the top. In brief, Milwaukee demonstrated her absolute loyalty to the nation's cause and her claim to the title of being a typical American city.


789


TRANSITION, ALT-MILWAUKEE TO AMERICAN CITY


The former racial character of Milwaukee has not only been modified in that the process of assimilation has subdued an outstanding predominance of any one race, but also in the accession of other races. The Polish-American people, for instance, have become quite strong in population numbers, main- taining two daily newspapers printed in the Polish language, whereas there is but one daily printed in the German language. The Irish, English, Scotch, Norwegian, Swede, Danish, Bohemian, Austrian, Russian, Greek, Italian, Slavonian, Slovak and Croatian races are well represented.


While the transformation is not complete, namely that all foreign born have not mastered the English, or have been thoroughly taught in the tenets of their adopted eountry, the percentage of the uninitiated and untaught is believed to be nominal only. Be it said here that the hyphen is diseredited, and while no foreign born is ashamed of his racial origin, every citizen wants it understood that he is American to the core.


The foreign born, who have contributed so much to the material, civie and social development and growth of the city, are gradually passing from the scene and giving way to the newer generations of American born. They have left their impress, gave their labors, their virtues, their ideals, as a heri- tage to those who shall succeed them. Let us not disparage their advent, but accord them the tribute which is due them.


An old chroniele recites the story of an ancient city sunken beneath the waters of the sea. It is told that on Sabbath mornings, when the sky is clear, the nearby villagers gather at the water's edge and look reverently down upon the submerged turrets and towers and listen for signs of life. Then there rises from the deep, distant sounds of the ringing of ehnreh bells. They tell of an ancient people that loved and lived and responded to the voice of the Ahnighty.


The day will come when the immigrant races are no more, when they will be submerged in a homogeneous people-an American people. The im- migrant raees will be like the people of the sunken city. Faintly a song, a custom or a name will serve as a reminder that immigrant races once lived npon the soil we now occupy, and that they helped to build an American city.


An American city ! What a splendid distinction is conferred by that title ! What magnificent forces-marshalled and arrayed-are implied in that name ! The claim that the country is an asset and the city a liability no longer holds; one cannot be an asset without the other. Agriculture must rely upon the city for its operating equipment and the distribution of its products. The farm cannot become efficient without the aid of the factory. Rural life is impossible without the blessings of civilization fostered and radiated by the city. While the farm is a primary producer, the city is the secondary pro- dneer and distributor. It can no longer be said that the country is the pro- dneer and the city the consumer. Both are producers and consumers and absolutely essential to each other.


What a remarkable institution the American city has been in advancing the progress of a nation, in building the greatest and most beneficent re- public on earth and in enabling it to lead in the march of world civilization and in the cause of humanity. Milwaukee justly deserves the distinction of being classed as a progressive American city. -W. G. B.
