A number of the leading citizens
intend to meet in the near future and
select a commute of three or more
men to wait upon men or women who
seem to be pro-German in their talk
and attitude. Quite IA lot of people
over the United States would be glad
to cause "A home revolution such as
has been caused in Russia. This will
never happen, because most American
citizens are loyal to this government.
We have heard Austrians, who are not
citizens Of this country, say they are
ready to do their part for Uncle Sam,
and they e what they say. The
German citizens are more patriotic
than some would-be leaders who claim
TO be American citizens. This com
mittee will wait upon those who are
talking against the government and
find out the trouble. If their remarks
are not justified they will be attended
to in such a manner that they will not
forget that a free country does not
mean a place in which revolutionists
and traitors are welcome. No Ger.
man, Austrian or any other man will
be molested if he keeps his proper
place. This war spirit is riled and its
bound to get warmer when the Ameri,
can boys begin to arrive home from
the front crippled or manned for life
