Bisbee daily review., 1918-07-16


 is now passing through a time of ten sion and strain. His teeth are set, and his nerve on edge. He sees more clearly every day the dark valley through which his sons and brothers must pass, and from which too many, alas. will never return. It is an evil time to cross him. He is not in a temper to be trifled with. He is apt very suddenly to strike the dislOyal citizen with a mailed hand-to line him up against the wall in front of firing squad and shoot him as a traitor and an enemy to this country.
 We Are Fighting Germany
 and the German People
 We are not fighting Prussians and militarism alien. We are at war with Germany and the german people, and with everything connected with Ger many. and the sooner we realize this the sooner our boys will come march ing home with German helmets stuck on the tips of their bayonets, and wlth that baby-killing, crucifying kaiser, and his idiOtic son. the crown prince by the scuff of the neck. It IS not only the German under arms who can do us damage. Our army, otn navy and our heroic boys will take care ot them on the front line. It is the in erate. disloyal Germans right here at home who can do us the most damage. They are the ones to be watched ana exterminated-th ones who, under camouflage of patriotism, shoot our bovs in the back-whO spread their snake-like German prOpaganda - preach an incOnclusive peace-spreaa rumors of disaster and try to cause general dissatisfaction and disconlent and suspicion against the method or the government in the conduct Of the war. Against all such we must keep watch and guard Russia was not put out of action by the German army she was defeated and poisoned at her own family table by German propa- eanda. The Italian reverse last spring was not caused by the German ana Austrian armies. Italy was betrayed bv German propaganda within her own borders.

In the early days of the war we all joined the Flying corps, and we have neen uD in the air ever since, anu some of us have lost sight of the eround We must get back to earth and face the stern facts in front or us. We are in the midst of a terrible war. The enemy is of formidaDle strength. Russia is under his heel: Roumania has been crushed and forced to surrender. Serbia and Belgium are in tbe clutches of the heliish Hun. Northeru France is well-nigh over run We must fight-yea, fight untii dedth. Ii may take twO-three, or even 'iVe years for us to conquer, but conquer we will, just as sure as God relsiis in heaven. But we must all fight figbt here at home, as well as m France We are all privates Tn the army of Uncle Sam, whether we wear civilian clothes or a soldiers uniform, and Uncle Sam expects every one or us to do his duty.
