Be Careful In Act and Speech.


THE NEWS hopes that there is no
German or other alien in Bourbon
equity who would by speech or deed
cause the native-born to lose that ex
allied opinion they have always held
Tor them. There may come a time,
and that time may be here, when those
from the Fatherland feel that they are
not in accord with what this country is
doing TO preserve the National honor
and dignity of the American flag.
1t is hoped that there lives no man
OF foreign birth in this section who
endorses Germany's submarine war
fare, which has cost the lives of so
many Americans, but should there be.
1t would be well fer him to ponder
before he puts his feelings into words
or actions The American people are
IN no humor TO take insults. Their pa
oence is already threadbare. The large
majority are in thorough accord with
Presidents Wilson's course callinz
for war with Germany and means with
which 10 wage that war, and criticism
Of the Presidents action in the prem
tses is not relished by patriotic citi
ze7s.

Of the London Times. Il is known
that reptiles existed very simi!a.: to
