“Indeed it must. By the way, I wonder what will be done with Henry Bristow—I mean Captain Von Blusen?”
“I don’t know,” replied Shirley. “However, I suppose he will be taken to Washington.”
“He seemed a very nice young man. I wouldn’t have thought he was a German.”
“Well, I suppose there are nice Germans as well as any other kind,” replied Shirley with a laugh. “But I wonder why they took such chances?”
“Orders, I reckon. The Germans have shown great daring and bravery in this war.”
“I should say they have. I wonder if the United States will be drawn into the war.”
“My goodness gracious! I hope not! Why, Daddy might have to go.”
“Oh I guess not,” laughed Shirley. “He is too old for that, except as a last resort.”
“But Dick might have to go.”
“That’s so; but I don’t think there will be any war between the United States and Germany. We could whip them easily.”
