Milwaukee. Wis, April 1s.-'The

is in America" declares George D.
Heron, American Socialist writer,
now in Geneva, Switzerland, in a let
ter A. NJ. Simons of the Wisconsin
loyalty legion received today.
Il hope you find America united

literally Keeling on the brink of the

America will have to meet if she does
not get here quickly and adequately
Germany has absolutely undermined
the moral foundation of Europe. And
by this more than by her arms, is
Europe falling into her hands.
THE ends of the ages-the whole
