By it's own deliberate policy of indif-

has forfeited the good faith and con-

sidious methods and means it has at
tempted to SOW the seeds Of disloyalty
and discomfort among our foreign-born
element, while still maintaining dip
lomatic and friendly relations with the

be more humiliating admission than
this, involving the national integrity

by wanton acts of deliberate aggres-

American citizens and the browning
infamy of conspiracy against our ter
ritorial integrity, the German gov
eminent should have forfeited our
confidence and goodwill. 1t is, there
fore, obviously the patriotic duty of
every American Of German birth to
render the fullest measure of uncon-
ditional loyalty to the national cause
and whatever active assistance may be
essential to the attainment of a final
victory which shall guarantee to the
world a lasting peace. The duty of
the hour is unequivocal, and it is for
each and every one Of foreign birth to
prove that oaths of allegiance are not
meaningless, and that their applica-
ton to American citizenship can be
effectively visualized into actions of
enduring worth.
The loyalty of Americans of Ger

CUBA AT WAR WITH GERMANY

The little republic of Cuba, not yet
out Of her teens, is at war with Ger
many. The Cubans have taken pos
session of the four German ships in
Havana harbor. Large volumes of
smoke were seen pouring from the
funnel Of the self-interned German
ship, Bavaria, and it is believed the
Germans were preparing to run the
vessel to the entrance of the harbor
and sink them to close up the passage.
President Menocal of Cuba signed the
resolution for war, shortly after it's

MISTAKES BEFORE HE

NEW YORK, July 20.- Before he

The sydney Argus, representing one

that snowy Baker, the A@Stralian
promoter had received "A letter from
Darcy asking that steps be taken TO
make IL comfortable for him If he
should return. Darcy wanted 10 go
back and enlist in the Australian

This was after things had been GO
ing so badly for Darcy in this coun-
ny. His refusal 10 meet the best
uiddleweights of this nation, his con-
tinual demands for huge purses nav

he might have been blazing a path

turn in the reception given him. Darcy
determined TO go home.
Cast out of the minds Of fight

discovered that Australia had no
rlace for the man who fled Just two
davs before vote was taken on con-
scription Of all its men. News Of his
turning against Tim sullivan also
reached Australia, and, although
Sullivan was in the same boat with
Darcy, it helped him lose some OF the
friends who had stuck persistentiy by
him.

that Darcy had been unable to SHOW
