oaneinnati. Ohio, March 1s.As- serting that the European belhgere1ts In trarnping on the rights of neutrals had made 1t difficult to keep the United States from being embroi1ed, Governor Edward Fs.l Dnnpe of IL linois last night pleaded with ssllsphenated Amerdcansa to aid the administration in the crisis by re- training from the public expression of whatever sympathies they may have with nations at war. Speaking. at a St Patrick's Day celebration of the Irish Fellowship club. Governor Dunne said that persons of foreign birth or lineage in America should place loyalty to this nation above all else.
 He spoke of the pride Irish1nen have in the part they took in the up- buildinga of the United States and 7as- serted that sat the present, more than ever in the history of this na- tion should the citizen of Irish birth or lineage De carefut i. eo place ms loyalty to the United States above his syrnp pathies with any of the Euro bean countries. Ut is not the supreme duty of t1le statesmen in Washington to keep this country from being en- broiled in the conflict in Europe as serted Governor Dunn Day by day the beIligerents are trampling on the tights of neutra1s and making it all most imp ossible. to keep our country from entanglement. Tn this critical situation 1t is the duty of every American citizen to uphold the preI- dent in his efforts to preserve peace between this country and the warning nations Never in recent history was there greater need of deration, tact, and diplomacy of American statesmen and of loyalty by it's citi- zens
 ITO allow this nation to become en- gulfed in the European cataclysm would be a stupendous political blunder if not. 9 political crime, which the patriotic president and the secretary of state. will not commit. Let not then American citizens of any race eTnbarraSs our officials at this time by public expressions of any yTnpath1es or by participation in or ganized efforts to give contraband assistance to any of the beIligerents.
