V''S The Hour For Americans to Prove Themselves

They justified immediate action on the ground of
national defense. ...-- .,va -.
And yet. al the very moment when Germany
action has forced the United States TO prepare for
war; the German American Alliance proposes 10
poll the voters of the nation They would have this
nation submit it's military defense TO political pro-
gram proposed by German sympathizers. and TO a
political campaign in which it is quite plain there
would be plenty of German sympathizers willing to
block the United States governments preparations
for possible war.

gram proposed by German sympathZers and TO a
political campaign in which it is quite plain there
would be plenty of German sympathizers willing to
block the United States governments preparations
for possible war.
There is no Justification for the action Of the
German. Americans last night.
All Americans except few jingoists deplore war,
view with deepest sadness and regret the near ap-
proach of their country to war, hope against hope
that il will not be necessary for this nation to CON
duct hostilities against Germany or any other ma.
tion. .....* '"g
But in this hour of crisis il is plainly the duty of
Americans to stand squarely by their government.
Negotiations with Germany have failed and
Germany has shown conclusiyely that she will not
observe her pledges to the United States.
II is particularly the duty of Americans to
duet themselves that this nation will stand before
the world solidly for humanity and right truly the
United States. .... ~.
Such action as that of the German Americans
at the bidding of the national body-encourages Ger
many to believe this nation is not united
1t is not only an illogical, unreasonable action.
but il is a dangerous action. Iii.
One of the speakers is quoted as referring to the
: lsli w III war IL now ue-
elared on Germany, another internal conflict will
rend the United States. He denies any such refer
ence was made at the meeting but does not deny it
was made,in conversation with reporter afterward
Such talk, before meeting or at any other time,
is rabd rot There will be no civil strife if we go
TO war with Germany. The great mass of German
Americans are not followers of kaiserism and they
will not strike their adopted country. They will
repudiate those who encourage civil strife just
they rppudiated the seealed sGerman issue at the
polls last November.
What became of all the great German American
vote which was to 60 to Hughes protest against
Wilson?
There never was such vote and never will be. 1t
was in the minds OF a few who thought they repre-
scented the many. But the many repudiated the
raising Of the German issue and rebuked it with
their ballots.
They will rebuke even more emphatically an or
ganization or an individual which in the hour of
the countrys crisisfaiIs to stand Enthusiastically for
full patriotic service.

which the star has the leading role
of We're Herbert in Ouidas' Moths. "
Those that have objected to the star
playing vampire roles were certainly
rewarded in seeing her in role di-
rectly opposite to that Of the vam-
pire. The play gives Miss Bara every
chance TO show the other side OF her
self and she comes out of the demon
stration with 100 per cent credit. AS
for the play It is good and built up to
tragic climax. The work of the
