peaceful felix's and were making
good loyal citizens. After this
visit German-American organiza-
tons sprung up all over the coun-
try and flourished like green bay
trees. Soon these spread to
other foreign born citizen so that
when the day arrived when Ger
many was to begin her march to
conquer the world our country
was honey-combed with a disloy-
atty never dreamed of by our
most astute statemen. That this
was bought about by a
deliberate purpose on the part of
Germany as part of her scheme
to conquer us, we only have to
take a bit more German testi-
mony. Let them again answer in
their own words:
The most dangerous foe to
Germany in this generation will
prove to be the United States. "
DIR. Otto Hotech, in 1902.
After describing the manner
of attack to be made on the
United States Freihen yon Edel-
sheim, in 1901, said, 1T should
be so managed that a line of
land operations would be in close
junction with the fleet, through
which we would be in a position
to seize in a shcrt time many OF
these important and rich cities,
to interrupt their means,of sup
ply, disorganize all government
tel affairs, assume control of all
useful buildings, confiscate ali
war and transport supplies, and
impose heavy indemnities. AS a
matter of fact, Germany is the
only great power which is in a
position to conquer the United
States.
Denomination of America
has gone ahead too far to be
interrupted. = Robert Theims,
in 1902.
1T is the duty of everyone
who loves language to see that
the future language spoken in
America shall be German.....-...
If Germans bear this in mind,
and help accordingly, the goa
will eventually be reached. ......,
Germans need only grasp the
situation and the future is ours.
Let them show that they near

to America with impunity. -
Harbbe-Schleiden, in 1903.

other similar expressions of
Germanic intentions coupled
with their present efforts to put
these words into deeds can VIC
longer staed in doubt? Young
men, to you has gone the call to
take your places in our army and
navy and stand shoulder
to shoulder with other non Ger
manic people and form, not only
an impossible barrier around
these tyrants to the end that our
fair land shall not become a
Belgium or Northern France,
but an aggressive force which
must crush for all time any
intentions to renew the strife;
to the whole nation has gone the
call to get behind this army with
every ounce OF energy that IN us
lies, to make its efforts efficient
that the war may be bought to a
successful close in the shortest
possible time. And it is the
dury of every true American to
see to it that persons of every
allegiance or extraction who
have their faces still turned to-
ward fatherland together with
those under their influence dc
not hinder the cause in any
manner. Extreme me assures
may be necessary; if so, let
extreme measures be used.
Fight we must, else we perish.
Which course will you choose?
