[144] Of course, one can care about the fate of countries other than his own and be interested in institutions of another order, the church, for instance, but when he does these things, he does them in his character as something other than a patriot. No person is merely a patriot. In so far as he is a patriot his interest is absorbed in his country.

[206] The New York Times of Nov. 27, 1917, contained a report to the effect that the United States Government was preparing to notify Berlin of the steps that had been taken in the United States regarding the internment of unnaturalized Germans in this country. It was the purpose to inform Germany of the number of those interned, who they were, and how they were treated. The object was to reassure Germany that the interned Germans were not being ill-treated, and so to protect Americans interned in Germany.
