Philadelphia, March 5.-Records

pending the trial of it's editors and
other offiials for treason will be used

even going to soldiers at Camp
Meade for contributions, but also

Help Given by German

What Head Of the T
Alliance Stood For

1--WE have before us a bitter
struggle. We can only wage it
successfully if we are united.
Whoever casts aside his German
ism like an old glove is not fit to
be spit upon. He is a contemp-
tible hound. We have long suffer-
ed under the preachment that we
must be assimilated and merge
in the American people, but no
one will ever find us prepared to
descend to an inferior culture"
From speech of President c. J.
Hexamer, of the German-Ameri-
can Alliance, 1915.

OVER THE TOP BY JUNE 20.
Over the top by June 90.

over the top by June 90.
That is the task set for Illinois by
the War Savings Committee.
Every county in the state is to make
a desperate effort TO see that its full
quota OF 500 for each man, woman and
child in the county is either pledged
or sold by that time.
June 2S has been designated by Sec.
rotary McAdoo as National War Saw
ings Stamp Day. On that day Illinois
is asked 10 purchase at least one S.
War Savings Stamp-the price OF
which will then be Si17-for every
man, woman and child in the state.
That means more than 100000
stamps, and more than S25,000,000 in
money.
It sounds like large order, in the
aggregate, but it isn't. 1t is merely
test OF each individuals loyalty to the
extent Of sil7. 1t isn't even asking
any one 10 give s417 TO help win the
war. IL Ia merely asking him to lend
that much, to make an investment in
the worlds best government security.
Illinois had its Pledge Week before
the plans for the national drive. This
was successful in proportion to the
energy put into II. Some counties
went over the top. Others came near
it. Others did little. The state as
whole is far behind. What each coun.
ty must do in June depends largely on
the results obtained during Pledge
Week.
But, at any rate, June is to be made
the month OF actual sales. The Thrift
Stamp IL 10 be left for the children.
