No Hyphens Among Patriots
"All these people lived here and their
children lived here after them. They
devoted themselves to this land and
ceased to think of any other Their
children's children intermarried with
one another-and if they had not in
termarried | would not have been here
Therefore, in my case, if you tried to
express me in terms of the hyphen,
you would have to use seven hyphens;
and sooner or later the children of ali
of you will pass through similar ex-
perience, for they are all going to in
termarry, and even before they do thus
intermarry they will all be turned out
in the same American type. 1t is the
type of Washington and Lincoln and
Andrew Jackson. 1t is also the type of

of Wittenberg College there can be no
truer American ideal to uphold than
that of Muhlenberg. He was the pas

Revolution opened. He got up to preach
his last sermon in the uniform of the
Continental army, and told his congre-
cation that now war had come it was
his duty to fight as an American patriot

ism at College Founded
by Teutons

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, May 25.-Colo-
mel Roosevelt preached whole-hearte
Americanism to-day at Wittenberg
College. an institution founded by
Lut'1erans of German blood, speaking
from a platform which he shared with
the Lutheran president of the college
and dignitary of the Catholic Church,
both of them of German origin.
He linked together the German
American Alliance, the Sim Fein and
the Russian BolsAeviki as elements
which put other sentiments before
loyalty to America. The home folks
must be thoroughgoing Americans, he
declared, and back up their soldiers.
The way to do it, he said, was to do
"the thing that is next"
Colonel RooseveIt's Address
His address follows:
"At this time no good American
should sleep easily if during the day
he has not done everything in his
power to put this country back of the
armed men who in France are fighting
for our own national honor and inter
est, and for the future of the free
peoples of civilized mankind. The
peril is faced by and the honor is
rightly due to those at the front. But
the rest Of us, the men and women who
cannot get to the front, must at least
back up our men in every possible
way; and the way to back them UP is
every day, every week, every month to
do the thing that is next
"At this moment the thing that is
next is the Red Cross drive. Last
month it was the Liberty Loan. And
all the time the biggest thing that is
next is to back up the men who wear
our uniform by insisting that we at
home tolerate absolutely no division
on the great question of Amercanism.
at is primarily on this question of
Americanism that 1 come to speak to-
day. I accepted the invitation to come
here from the president of Wittenberg
College, who informed me he wished
me because Wittenberg College, found
ed by Lutherans of German blood, was
American and nothing elise, and that he
wanted me to preach the straightest
and stiffest doctrine of Americanism,
exactly such doctrines as l have been

Great Debt to Allies

the debt that we owe them for the
blood shed by their sons on battlefelds
where this nation had as much at stake
as the nations whose armies fought
thereon.
"On March 8 last Mr. Hearst, preach
ing hatred to Japan and using language
tending to serve Germany by bringing
about break between the United States
and Japan, and perhaps Great Britain,
says: If Great Britain cannot restrain
her special ally Japan from acts of
aggression inimical to our interests, we
can remove our ships and troops from
Europe and transfer them to Asia. This
is a threat of war with Japan; threat
that we will enter on war Of aggres-
sion in Asia. There could be no possi-
Bile result of such threat except
service to Germany. 1t was a threat
to abandon the war against Ger
many, our enemy, and embark on a
war against Japan, our ally; and this
because Japan, in the interest of the
Allies and of civilization, had contem-
plated action in East Siberia against
the Bolsheviki, who have shown them
selves to be the allies of Germany, the
enemies of civilization and the enemies
of the United States.

Importance of War Belittled

These quotations show that Mr..
Hearst has steadily endeavored to be-
little the vital Importance to our coun-
try of this war, and to excite the hatred
OF our people against our allies who
are faithfully fighting beside us; and
such conduct can be of help only to
Germany, to the enemy we are fight
ing. just so long as Mr.. Hearst's pub
iications are permitted in the mails;
Mr.. Burleson is without excuse for cx-
Guiding any other publication from
them. The Administration, by it's ac-
quiescence, permits the continuation of
sarily tries to give aid and comfort to
Germany and to impair the morale of
our own people.
The quotations above given deprive
Mr.. Burlcson and the Administration
Of which he is part of any shred Of
justification for their action and mac
ton. Mr.. Burleson is, Of course, only
secondarYly responsible in the matter.
Mr.. Hearst's papers are so important
and Mr.. Hearst's position among the
Administrations political friends, sup
porters and advisers is so prominent,
and the action in connection with re-
instating him in his cable privileges
was so purely dependent upon the
President himself, that no subordinate
of the President can accept or be cred
tied with the chief responsibilities for
any action or inaction of the Admin
istration in relation to Mr. Hearst. The
Administration is responsible for the
federation of Mr.. Hearst's anti Ally,
anti-war, and. therefore, anti-Ameri-
can activities, and for the reward
nevertheless given him. and the SER
vice rendered ON the other side by Mr..
Hearst was service to the Administra. !.

The Star would be glad if the pub
ic-spirited citizens who helped it buy
drilling equipment for the high school
military department would go to the
school whenever they can, about ten
o'clock in the morning, and see the
boys drill. Possession of the guns,
even tho they are only dummies, has
added greatly to the interest the boys
take in the drill, as we'll as to the
benefits derived from it. Mr.. Cham
bers is a good instructor and he has
picked out a very efficient staff of
officers. The boys are graded by age,
or rather size, from the largest to the
smallest, and while the bigger ones
are, of course, the best drilled, yet
they don't take any more interest in
the drill than the little chaps who are
some of them shorter than their guns.
They make fine sight when they are
all lined up and going thru the manu-
al. We do not want a military ma
ton, nor one with a strong military
class, but we must not let the coun-
try slump back into the helplessness
it was in four years ago, and a good
course Of military instruction in our
public schools will be the best safe
guard against such deplorable con-
dition as well as beneficial from both
a mental and physical standpoint.

Mrs. Emily Green will be doubly
proud of her big boy when he and the
other boys come marching home, for
he has shed his blood for his country
and will wear wound stripe on his
sleeve. Sergeant Edward Green has
seen all of the war he can see except
being killed, which he won't be in this
war, as he is now safe and comfort
able in base hospital, recovering
from severe wound, which he re-
ceived when he and his comrades were
prying loose the grip of the Hun on
the Mouse sector. Mrs. Green yes
terday received two letters, one writ
ten Oct. "a from a K. of C. worker,
saying Sergeant Green was in a
mobile hospital; the other from a
Red Cross searcher, dated Oct. %,
saying he was in hospital, steadily
improving, and would soon be able to
do his own writing. Sergeant Green
volunteered in May, 1917, trained at
Fort Screven and near Washington
and reached France early in the au-
tumn. He belongs to the engineer
branch, which always works and often
fights and has seen as much hard SER
vice as any man who went to France.
It probably will be only few months
before he comes home.

Klll Seal. to Protect salmon.

In an effort to protect the salmon
run and probably enhance" the pack.
the British Columbia authorities are
reported, in advices from the Pacific
coast, to be making war on the hair
seals which are charged with eating
immense quantities of salmon at the
mouth Of the Fraser river. A Van
couver report states that, after observ-
ing the haunts Of the seals on the
Fraser sandheads, one Of these shoals
was recently mined, high explosives
and charges Of metal being placed in
cans below the surface of the sand,
which the next high tide smoothed
over. At low tide seals returned to
their place In the sun and were not
disturbed. The next day nearly 200
seals gathered on the sands, and the
explosive was touched off by battery
from which wires led to the seal ground.
The explosion killed every seal, tear
ing the animals into small fragments.
Other blasts will be set of, for this
is the big sockeye salmon year and
protection of the run is vital.

overthrow, the incident is ominous,
for If he and his government couldn't
stand, who can? Will Germany fol-
low the example of Russia in rushing
from despotism to anarchy? If she
does, death and bitter suffering for
millions of her people will result.
Germany cannot obtain supplies for
keeping her people alive, let alone re-
building her industries, unless she
can establish a credit, and she cannot
establish a credit without response
BILE government. 1t would seem that
the mass of the German people want
peace and order, but the discontinued
workmen of the industrial centers
combined with many soldiers seem
turning to Bolshevism. 1t all depends
on the soldiers now returning to their
homes If large majority of these
desire an orderly government and
will uphold it, they can do so. If
otherwise, Germany will have to trav-
ell the road that France travelled and
that Russia is travelling now.

Letters from our young men IN
France have arrived in a batch in the
last three days. Among those heard
from is Lieut.. Morris Smith, whose
father, DR.. D. M. Smith, received two
letters from him Monday. Lieut..
Smiths last letter was dated Oct.
25th. He was then in rest camp,
recovering from a severe attack of in
fluenza; very weak, but anxious to re-
turn to the front. He may have reach
ed the front again before the fighting
ended, but cablegram sent since the
close of hostilities assures his rela-
tives and friends that he has come
thru the war unscathed. Lieut.. Smith
saw some of the most severe fighting
of the war before he was taken sick.

1t is strange but true, and proven
by millions of instances since the
world began than the most obvious is
often the most easy to overlook, and
what we think of a great deal when
not trying to remember we are the
most apt to forget when we try to re-
collect. This well defined trait in hui
man nature is all the excuse we have
for emitting the name of Lagrange
Sistrunk from the list of those early
volunteers from Marion county for
the war. This brave boy went in the
navy as student sailor nearly two
years before war was declared, work
ed his way through the primary
grades and then, not expecting war,
went on the reserve list and came
back home. AS soon as war broke
out, he put himself in readiness for
the call that soon came and was on
the very day of answering it when an
untimely accident cost him his life.
One of the brightest stars in our
country's service flag stands for his
name. Very few of the brave boys
that flag represents have been more
often in our memory, and it was with
shock of surprise that we realized
that we had not named him among
the first.

well as American opinion of the Ger

just opened, and subsequent events
show he had the situation correctly
sized up. Lieut. Chazal's division, the

sible, obtain a transfer and remain in
