Ladies' and Gentlemen:
Il want you to know there are

I arrived in America when II years or
age. After having been here but two
weeks I took out my first papers. Az

For 81 years have been citizen-a
100 per cent American.
=. Now people ask me how | feel abont
this War and Liberty Bonds. l am
going to tell you.
feel like every American whom i
know-stick to our Country. stick TO our
Flag because ! love this Country.
Our former Ambassador to Germany,
James Gerard, stated the Kaiser dis
likes the German Americans more than
the born Americans. Why: Because the
Kaiser knows that we are Loyal Ameri-
cans.
When the United States declared war
on Germany my one sense of duty was 10
America. and my oath of loyalty knows
of no conditions and no reservations.
II have invested 100000 in Liberty
Bonds and War Stamps. not because l
was born in Germany-nohody forced me
to buy that amount-but because | con-
sidered 1t the best ratrlotlc investment
during war times in any country, if you
are patriotic and love your country.
] would rather have today S1OO.WO
in Liberty Bonds than S100.Mb In prop
erty on 10th Street or ConI"cticut Ave
nue.. because I would be proudcr of it.
The reason have not invested more is
that I have used all the cash on hand,
but as fast as I can spare more, rest
assured will buy more.
I think il the duty of every American
to buy Liberty Bonds. as ii will he very
discouracng for our soldiers who are in
the trenches. and who willing to give
their lives. to learn that the Liberty
Bonds are not selling fast at home. and,
believe me. it will be most encouraging
to the Germans to know that.
We will win the war because our boys
ere willing to fight it out. But it is up
to us TO buy Liberty Bonds to support
them and furnish the material.
Personally I am perfectly willing to
make Uncle Sam my partner and loan
him all the money / could spare without
interest, and trust our President Wilson
to handle it for me.
I thank you.
Receipts for Liberty Bonds on this
occasion were S27s. 100000. breaking all

Imagine Lincoln Decorated"

Men like Washington, Grant and Lee
did without medals or decorations, and
1 wish we could do the same. Fancy
President Lincoln with lot of deco
rations! What would he say?
l wish we had stuck to our medal of
honor, forbidden the acceptance Of all
foreign decorations and avoided the
imitation of European aristocracies.
The greatness of America-the real
greatness-lies in her democracy. Sim
plicity is the backbone of genuine re-
publicanism. We are a good enough
people to discard old traditions. Deco
rations and orders originated and were
created for the benefit Of the royalty
and nobility of the old world. They are
essentially an aristocratic idea and
their original purpose was to orna-
ment certain great sovereigns and
noblemen, separating them from the
common herd. They are foreign to re-
publican institutions and ought to be
foreign to American human nature.

Legion of Honor Is Esteemed.

The great French distinction of the
Legion of Honor is possibly more
thought of and generally esteemed than
some others more difficult to gain. The
war cross was. at the beginning Of the
war, a much-coveted distinction, but
the French soldiers do not think much
of it now 1t has been too generously
distributed There are many men who
have done nothing unusual whatsoever
who stand in well with their sergeants
or corporals and who get a citation
and the cross. have known others
who have been through every attack
possible and who did real prodigies
of valor who were not mentioned.
The military medal of France is more
like our medal of honor. and is harder
to obtain than the war cross. The Vic
toria cross of England is another deco
ration which to a certainty has been
well earned.

DESCRIBES EFFECT

writes Will Black. Princeton graduate,
ambulance driver and airplane cleo
trical worker, to David NJ. Conway, a

Washington from witness of the
long-range bombardment. and the writ
err also tells how he watched an air
raid from the top of Y. NJ. c. A. build

vided his conscience wasn't giving him
trouble" writes young Mr.. Black, but
nowadays no one sleeps but the deaf.

were only air raids, but when Fritz
started throwing them in from seven

visibly quickened.

Airmen "Ransack Milky Way"
Last Saturday morning about 10
o'clock they started with the gun.
There had been a false alert the night
before and the alert was given again
in the morning and everybody except a
few of the foolish 'aymerycans' took to
the cellars. The aviators went up and
ransacked the milky way, looking for
Fritz, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Then the people gradually began to
move out of their holes, and although
the noise kept up at regular fifteen
minute intervals. life went on as 1t
normally does; in fact. there were many
more people on the street than usual.
There was another alert Saturday
evening and as soon as FritZie had a
good sleep he started up again Sunday
morning. I didn't know whether to risk
taking bath or not, but got through
without embarrassment. He kept it up
most Of Sunday and pulled off an air
raid last night in addition, or rather
early this morning, about l o'clock.

Wonderful Spectacle.
The writer tells how the people go
about their business, paying little heed
to air raids, and continues:
'In the last big air raid, for instance,
we sat on the roof of the Y. NJ. c. A.
and watched the whole show. 1t was a
wonderful spectacle and kept us inter-
ested up to the moment they dropped a
huge red flare over to our left, light

Especial Correspondence Of The Even

PARIS. France, April 1.-The United
States is going to have decorations at
last; that is. her soldiers and civilians,
too, are permitted to wear certain en-
blems which are supposed to indicate
either extraordinary gallantry on the
part of the wearer or service of more
than normal usefulness and brilliancy
in civil spheres of life. Personally re-
greet this departure from our primitive
republican ideals. There was something
grand about the medal of honor the
only real decoration in our military
service. 1t is, and was, worth having.
There is much to be said in favor of
our Army having decorations All the
others have. Napoleon favored a free

Decorations of Democracy.

Under the law no American official
should accept foreign decoration
without special permission. This was
an excellent rule, for we had none
to give in return. There was a great
deal of slackness about this, how
ever, and a great many Americans
are wearers of foreign distinctions
AS we had no decoration except
the medal of honor, which was exceed
ingly rarely given various societies. or
orders, were formed to supply the sup
posed need. This to me appeared an at

democracy to ape the older civilizations
Thus appeared the insignia of the sons

Aztec Society" and innumerable others

of the United States Army and Navy
were authorized by Congress to embel-
lish their martial bosoms. / have seen
some of our naval officers in a European
city rivaling, if not SURPRISING, in the
number of medals and insignia on their
chests any South American dictator. And
not one of these emblems indicated any
act of courage or intelligence. They
simply signif1ed that their forefathers
had taken part in the revolutionary
war, in that of 1872, the Mexican and
civil wars, or that they themselves had
held a commission in the Spanish
American or Philippine expeditions.
