it comes to judging other races, must know all this;
so I say that they are traitors if they have taken the oath of
allegiance to the United States. If they have not, and dream of
returning one day to the fatherland, then I have nothing to say, for
there is no better motto for any man than: "My country, right or

By C. HUNTINGTON JACOBS
[Harvard Prize Poem]
Professor Kuno Meyer, of the University of Berlin, resigned
his incumbency as Visiting Professor at Harvard University
during the next season because of this poem, which was
printed in _The Harvard Advocate_ of April 9th, last, and
won the prize in a competition for poems on the war
