70 look at this issue. We are at war
with Germany. If man cannot
speak English, and can speak Ger
man, that man must be an enemy OF
the United States, because he does
not understand this wonderful, great
democracy of ours, or the principles
for which we are fighting. But If a
man can speak English, and prefers
to speak German, then, since this Is
war time, that man must be doubly
an enemy of the United States.
Americans, if you hear German
conversation going on around you,
butt right into the middle of it, and
ask WHY. If they can give sat.
isfactory explanation-which they
cannot-apologize, and say that you
are only practicing little American
KULTUR on them. But if they can
not give a satisfactory explanation
the issue is this: We are at war with
Germany. There are two men in
front of you who speak English, but
prefer to speak German. l cannot
tell you what to do, but if you are a
true American, you will know. There
is slogan in this war which says,
'"1F YOU CAN'T FIGHT OVER
THERE, FIGHT OVER HERE"
Friends, are these wounded Ameri-
cans, after returning to the country
which they fought and bled for, to
pick up a German newspaper from
any newsstand and read an American
casualty list, printed in German? Is

in token of his long years of service
as a Judge of play on the diamond.

CONNOLLY began his career as an
umnire in the New England league
AWAY back in 1894. After serving in
that circuit for four seasons and es-
tablishing a reputation Tor compe-
tence and fearlessness in judging plays
he was engaged by the National
| league.
His career as a National Lacquer
began in 1898 and he remained a
member of the Nationals staff until
1900 when illness forced him to quit
| his post. In the spring of the follow
ing wear he went over to the newly
| formed American league and has
been there ever since.
Has Seen Many Stars.
He has seen players come and go
in his time-hundreds of them-and
a strange part of his career as an
American Lacquer is that every player
who was in the le-gue when he came
into if has now passed from the hori-
zon. with the exception of Plank,
who is owned by the Yankees, and
Larry Lajoie. who is still in the game
Magnates. too, have come and gone as
Connolly stood by and watched. Com

who have lasted thru all the years.
