Garrison Willard. publisher of emo

movement among American citizen,

to form bodies apart from the citizen

must conquer.
Mr.. Willard said that an importan+
factor in the continuance of the
'AmeriCan melting pot lay in eductt
ing immigrants to the proper duti.,
Of citizenship. He said he was 'hurn

divided citizenship or loyalty or al
legiance under the American hag.
that no one can accept political ohll-
cations here while at heart loyal =
another social system. another eutty
or another code of laws.
In opening his address Mr. Willard
quoted from an address made by Carl
SchurZ at the celebration of the lal-
terS seventeen birthday sixteen years
ago. in which Mr.. SchurZ said that
no matter how warm the affections
German Americans had held for their
native land they had never permitted

adds fuel to the flames of bitterness -
Mr.. Willard said that to allow na-
