The Fourth Estate/1917/September 22/No Longer German

NO LONGER GERMAN

The Oregon Deutsche Zeitung of Portland, on September 20 changed its name to the Portland American.

Its editor, Max Lucke, who has been under investigation by the Government, and other German employees have been dismissed, according to A. M. Kern, its publisher and hereafter it will be printed wholly in English.

Kern said the changes were made because he had been notified the paper would be suppressed if it attempted to continue publication in German.
