MAKES PLEA FOR LoYALT,

Announces Ho Has Positive

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, january 10
Speaking before large audience. con-
posed principally OF German amcri-
cans. otto H. Kahn. OF the New York
bankin. firm OF Kuhn, Loeb &. Co.
to- might scuthinsiy denounced the Ger
man government. stained with the
blood guilt of the war and pleaded
for outspokcn expressions OF loyalty
by Americans Of German birth or de-
scent.
Such expressions, he said. might have
j direct effect on the termination Of
the war, by its effect on the Kaiser
and his councillors who were counting
on German America TO hamper the cf.
forts OF this country.
Mr.. Kahn traced the DEVELOPMENT of
Germany after tho accession Of the
Kaiser and after his launching OF his
new course" which led to tho war.
He said that he had positive knowledge
that Germany had been trying for a
generation to force world war, and
cited specific instances OF such plot, :

vice and especially to young men

commend the efforts made by our
various ladies' clubs to provide a
reception room for them in the
Masonic Hall, with writing ma
terials and wholesome literature,
we keenly feel that the opening Of
a moving picture show on Sunday
is contrary to the laws of God and

bers of our respective churches
and our citizens in general, not to
patronize such shows on the
Lords Day, and to do all in their
