FLAGS FOR GERMAN HOMES.
Hampton School Boys Stage Loyalty
Demonstration.


Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, April 4.AThe first demon
stration here to remind any watering
ones that this is the time to be loyal
to Uncle Sam took place Monday at
ternoon when a company OF hlgh
school boys armed with a supply OF
flags, drums and flies, marched about
the streets with eyes keen for those
places where suspicion If not acts led
them to believe that none too much
loyalty to the U. S. A. abided.
Three places of business conducted
by Germans were visited and United
States flags placed on the fronts OF
the stores. 1t is said also that nag
reminder was left at one of the Ger
man churches, and a workman VINO
became so provoked at the work of the
boys as to make himself obnoxious. so
the report goes, was compelled to sa-
lutte 20 the red white and blue.
SO far local people have been very
ienient with Germans in this vicinity
and there is little doubt that there is
considerable love felt here for kaiser
ism by few, but the time is not far
distant when less leniency will be al
lowed. There are two German churches
in this CITY besides others in different
parts of the county and 1t is stared
