Would Respond to Call.

Predicting that II will not be long be

ated Americans from the charge of dis
loyalty, Representative Julius Kahn, of
California. speaking at the thirty fourth

Rsuschers last night. declared that Il
Is mans nature to night and that no man
can say when war will come
The speaker was constantly interrupted
by applause and when he declared that
now, as In the past, Americans will
rush to enlist If this country is ever in
danger" and that every hyphenaten
American will respond to the call ana
shed his heart blood for his adopted
country" he was greeted with pro-
longed outburst of enthusiasm
Man is a fighting animal said Rep
resentative Kahn. This is manifested
in. the smallest children. Place two OF
them on the floor and give one OF then,
toy and the other one will try to take
1t away from him. Eventually the toy
will stay with the stronger of the two.
TT is the same in the animal world.
The birds OF the air prey on one an
other. 1t is the same with the creatures
OF the sea and crawling, creeping things.
You will not have the millineum until
you change human nature and it is the
duty of every loyal American to be pre-
pared for war.
Speaking of hypherated citizens,
Representative Kahn said:
Il have no fear of the hyphenated
citizen. in the first place. he did not
hyphenate himself. The politician hy-
phenated him. Human nature always
asserts itself. We Americans wouldn't
care a snap of our fingers for an Eng
lishman who didn't have spark in his
heart for his mother country engaged
in this terrible struggle across the
sea. Every hyphenated American will
respond to the call If America Is ever
threatened and shed his last hearts s
blood in the defense of his adopted
country"
