TIME FOR ALL TO DECLARE
FOR OR AGAINST AMERICA
Hog-Tie Disloyal German-Ameri-
cans, Feed Pacifists Raw Meat and
Hang Traitors, Says Gerard.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, November 1.-THE
time for repentance of disloyal Ameri-
cans and pro-German sympathizers has
passed and the day is at hand when
every person must decide whether he
is for or against America, declared
James w. Gerard. former American am
bassador to Germany. in an address at
food conservation mass meeting here
yesterday.
Americans are to be congratulated
on their efforts to induce Germans in
this country to be loyal. but there are
still many under the protection Of the
American flag who are snakes in the
grass" said the former ambassador
THE time has come. however. when
they must say straightforwardly
whether they are for or against
America.
I'VE should hog-tie' every disloyal
German feed every pacifist
raw meat and hang every traitor to a
lamp-post. to insure success in this
war. And our traitors are not all Ger
man-Americans. but some men high in
public life are aiding the Prussian
cause. There is no dirtier CHAPTER in
American politics than the crusade OF
these men, whose names you know"

Lauds It as Investment.

Mr.. vanderlip said that entirely aside
from the patriotic element the new
war savings plan appealed strongly to
him.
The first consideration in all invest
ments." said Mr.. Vanderbilt. "of course,
is their safety. Could anything be safer
than something with the entire wealth
of the United States behind 1t? The
second consideration is the return on the
investment. is not $3.50 for the loan
OF $3.50 for ffve years attractive enough
for any one? Finally, one always must
consider his ability to convert an in
vestment into cash on short notice.
What more liberal arrangement than the
one offered by this plan return upon ten
days notice of the investment plus in
terest. could be asked?
1t does not require banker or
shrewd f1nancier to recognize the advan-
tages of this war savings plan. Any
man, woman or child who has the slight
est buying experience. even II 1t Is no
more than trading at the corner grocery
can see them as readily as the keenest
business man.
There is not the slightest doubt but
that this campaign for war savings will
be an overwhelming success. 1t will
reach more persons than any Of US, in
our moments of widest fancy, have
predicted l believe that the war saw
infs army will be the mightiest that
auto .racy ever undertook to combat
and that when the blow of the war ma
chine which it's quarters and dollars
will help to provide falls. the kaiser
ard every other enemy of this: nation
will recognize that at last an irresist-
ible force has been met"

committee are Mr.. Vanderlip. chairman;
