MUST CRUSH DIsLOYALTY
President Wilson'S Statement on
Americanism in Flag Day Speech
at Washington cheered.

Washington.-A charge that foreign
born citizens of the United States are
trying to levy political blackmail and
to undermine the influence OF the
national government was made by
President Wilson in Flag Day
speech June IA. His assertion sound
ed the keynote of one Of the foremost
issues on which he will go before the
country for reelection and touched
on the platform declaration, which
will be submitted by the administra-
ton to the st. Louis convention.
The president spoke before crowd
of thousands gathered at the foot OF
the Washington monument after he
had reviewed for five hours great
preparedness parade, at the head OF
which he himself had marched down
Pennsylvania avenue. He declared
that not since the Civil War had it
been tested as it now is being tested
whether the Stars and Stripes stood
for any one united purpose.
There is disloyalty active in the
United States and it must be abso-
lutely crushed" declared the presi-
dent, speaking emphatically. 1T pro-
ceeds from a minority, very small
minority, but very active and subtle
minority.
'It works under ground, but it also
shows it's ugly head where we can
see it.; and there are those at this
moment who are trying to levy a
species of political blackmail, saying:
DO what we wish in the interest Of
foreign sentiment or we will wreak
our vengeance at the polls That is
the sort Of thing against which the
American nation will turn with a
might and triumph of sentiment which
will teach these gentlemen once for
all that loyalty to this flag is the first
test of tolerance in the United
States"
The presidents words were taken
as an open challenge to foreign-born
Americans who he has learned from
foreign language newspapers and
other sources are opposing him for
reelection.
Mr.. Wilson devoted the entire day
to the Flag Day and preparedness
demonstration. Carrying large
American flag, he walked from the
Capitol to the White House at the
head OF more than $4,000 marchers.
including many high government of
flcials, Civil War veterans, employees
of all the government departments,
Of the capitals business houses. COM
panies of cadets and national guards
men. Union and Confederate veter-
ans and sons OF veterans marched
close together and were constantly
cheered.

Gen. Jacinto TrevinO, commanding
the Carranzista army of the north
has advised Gen. j. j. Pershing, the
American expeditionary commander
that any movement Of American troops
from their present lines to the south

mander, has posted an order calling
all Mexicans over II years of age to
the cuartel for military instructions
Five thousand additional Mexican
troops have been brought to points
along the Mexican Central Railroad

as re-enforcements for the Juarez gar
rison.

had taken this step because of the
ugly fight talk in Juarez. The distri

Juarez was promptly reported to Gen
George Bell, Jr. Something OF this
kind had already been anticipated by
Gen. Bell and influenced his mobllNa
ton Of his entire fighting strength.
The patrols along the river front
near the bridges were doubled and re-
serves slept with their shoes on. Eacn
