Fought German King Before.

During the American revolution we
were fighting a German king and his
hireltngs as we are fighting Germans
today.
"One OF the greatest dangers which
besets US today is the presence of alien
enemies in all parts of this country
and especially right here under the
shadow Of the Capitol. In the name OF
free speech and personal liberty we
have unwisely refrained from closing
Tmouths that have too long and too loud
proclaimed treason.
Even loyal Congressman ought to
be willing to stop talking for the pub
lie good. Our newspapers have shown
q fine loyalty in suppressing news that
might in some way benefit the enemy
(surely that fact is as fine an example
Of self-denial as a lively fancy could
imagine), and yet our national press
has done incalculable service In the
cause of liberty by foregoing their
claim for a free press

sisters grieving for the boys who have
been given up as lost with the naval
collier Cyclops. which completely van
ished in South American waters sew
eral weeks ago.
Hoping that some trace might be
found of the ship or surviving mem

withheld news of the vessels disap.
pearance while thorough search was
being made. Satisfied that the vessel

lum bia road.
Suryain A. Williams, colored, S21 21st

tine this morning as she told of his am
bition to be draughtsman and how he
had studied for his profession, even
He was nineteen years old and lived
practically all his life in Washington
and was educated in the public schools.

Only few weeks ago a letter was re-
ceived from him. which had been writ
ten early in February while he was at
q South American port. Tears came
back to the mothers eyes as she re-
called that in the letter he told her not
to worry, that he was well and happy
"and having the time of my life" Be-
fore the letter reached here the ship
had vanished.
Valentine had three brothers, George
w, Grover c. and Robert. and six Sis
ters.

in Pittsburgh. He was employed in the
business Office of a local newspaper and
enlisted in the Navy shortly after the
outbreak of the war. His family last

Pledged to National Ideals.

I'VE pledge ourselves to maintain our
national ideals and institutions, and
the experiences Of this war SO far have
convinced us that as a nation we have
too long harbored within our borders
societies and institutions which tended
to continue the spirit. customs, ideals
and language Of the foreign lands from
which their members had come, instead
of fostering and developing American
ism. We do not cry, America for
Americans. but We do raise the battle
cry. American only for those who de-
sire to become Americans in absolute
loyalty to our institutions and readi-
ness always to express that loyalty in
the language of the United States.
There can never be true national life
without the linguistic bond of one ma
tional language.
LAS we stand for our flag we stand for
our language. Henceforth, candidates for
American citizenship should be COM
PEELED to go hungry unless they can ask
for food in good old-fashioned English
When we go to Germany we ask for
'brod." When they come here they
should learn to say bread
