GERMAN ALLIANCE
 WARNS MEMBERS NOT
 TO ANGER AMERICANS

CHICAGO. June SO.-The Ger man American Alliance has warned it's members not to support Hughes and Republican candidates with mass meetings. or in other conspic- uous manner. In making this an nouncement to its members, the executive committee said: "We will have none of Wilson, we will fight him to a finish But 1t was stated that if the fight were made too openly and with too much spirit it would defeat it's purpose by creating a resentment among na- tive-bOrn Americans that would re- bound to the benefit of the Demo cratic nominee. We can pass the word along quietly and poll the German vote for Hughes, was an- other significant statement.
 It is said that President Wilson's now famous declaration against a species of political blackmail, which he said is saying. Do what We wish in the interest of foreign sentiment or we will wreak our vengeance at the polls" has had the effect Of soaring the more con servative Of the German Alliance.
