For the War

This office has received a circular
letter from w. II. McFetrldge, 4476
Ampeedia street, San Diego, Calf,
which is an appeal to Americans of
foreign descent in behalf Of the cause
of America. The circular was written
by Otto H. Kahn and sent out by the
American Rights league, 2 West 45th
street, New York, but is too long for
insertion here The gist of the cir
cuIar is that since Washington led
Americans of British blood to fight
against Great Britain, as Lincoln
called upon Americans Of the north to
fight their very brothers of the south,
so Americans of German descent are
now summoned to join our country's
righteous struggle against a people of
their own blood, which under the evil
spell of a dreadful obsessiOn, and,
heaven knows, through no fault of
ours, has made itself the enemy of
this peace-loving nation, as it is the
enemy Of peace and right and freedom
throughout the world.

THE LETTER

In a letter Mr. McFetridge writes
as follows:
This article states the German
American case better than anything I
have read. Except for few extrem
lists who plot in the dark there does
not appear to be much pro-Germanism
in this community. There is no doubt
but what Wisconsin was long ago
singled out as the vulnerable spot in
which to start German propaganda.
It is too bad there is not more knOW1-
edge in Wisconsin Of the kind impaTt-
ed by Congressman Kahn. If there
were there would not be many people
calling themselves loyal, yet splitting
hairs over academic questions of Ger
man books and language in the public
libraries and schools.
IF those who do these things would
arouse themselves to the tremendous
fact that this war is a world war be-
tween Right and Wrong, they would
cease pickering over comparatively
small matters and c0nfine their ener-
gies to helping put down the greatest
menace the world has ever faced.
IF any Of them thinks that which
the whole civilized world is now fight
ing for IS not right, l am sorry for

Washington, Nov. IL. - Orders
were issued to-day by the war depart
ment disseminating the acceptance OF
applicants for the central officers

organization of any new classes.
There are now approximately 100000

continued and a decision is expected
soon as to whether present classes
shall be continued to graduation.
None Of the additional training camps
for officers that had been planned
will be established.
Secretary Baker said to-day that a
policy also will be worked out to turn
colleges where training units are sta
toned back to their regular pursuits
as quickly as possible without causing
losses to the institutions.
Mr.Baker indicated that no definite
decision has yet been reached as TO
the future of various army divisions,
