Standing Up for Her
 Country

The editor of the Review is in receipt of a mos. remarkable letter from Bisbee woman, subscriber, in which she asks him help reply to the aunts and jeers of a woman of German descent with whom she had had argument. This subscriber de- clares that little education knows but little of national international affairs. and therefore iLftted for the glad task of stand ing up for her country.
 To the editors mind this woman's defense O. her country and it's institutions is as fine and effect i've that made by any statesman that pressed his the ground listen for the faintest whs per of call to It may not glitter with deli edged repartee shine under the polish of eight years a university but it is funda mental It sprung from heart that loves it's try and will make sacrifice untold for its glory.

 And then this woman said to me- You may have a government, but what good does it do you; when they need money they have to go to the work ingman get the shape of government bonds. In my country they everything ready for war long before and train their males to fight from infancy I'd be ashamed of thin government that had nothing ready time
 And then l ashamed, for did not know ho" to answer this German I am not smart But did say to her that she loyal to her country she must respect for being loyal to mine was born in the U. & A. the best country on earth. It pro duces everything the and it's people invented the airships and submarines and machine guns that have kept Germany in the am more than sad that was born under Old Glory the home of the brave and the free And long I have life will stand by my country and her flag and if they take an my husband and my brothers, and if they never return I'll say they fought for noble cause.
