It which has, and holds. not one coun-

avoid militarism and chose country
In which the goal Is the democratiza-

the true American spirit, his children

this process Is faster in amalgamation
than any other) he intends to stay
here, this is his country and that of his
children. He has aided In developing
this great country with its immense
resources and as a consequence has
drawn the reward Of his labors.
AS long as such a citizen does his
full duty, we believe it behooves us to
treat him as such and not reflect or be-
little. When the first casualty list was
published. it contained the names Ut

ready to die for his country, bear the

cease treating him as an adopted son,

great family and make him feel at
