There are some born abroad who
have come to this land for q greater
freedom and broader opportunities and
have sought and received the privl-
leges of American citizenship who are
swayed by dislike for some ally or by
the sympathies Of German kinship and
fail to see that the time has come for
them to make good the obligations of
their sworn oaths Of naturalization.
This is the oath that the applicant
for citizenship makes:
That he will support the Constitu-
ton of the United States and that he
absolutely and entirely renounces all
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign
prince, .potentate or sovereignty; that
he will support and defend the Consti-
tuition and laws of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and do
nestle, and bear true faith and ale
glance to the same.
"False to Their Oaths."
All these naturalized citizens who
are taking part in obstruction to our
government in the conduct of the war
are false to their oaths, are FORGETTING
their rights of citizenship, are repudi-
ating their honorable obligations, are
requiting by evil the good that has
been done them in the generous and
unstinted hospitality with which the
people of the United States have well
coined them to the liberty and the OPP
portunities of this free land We must
believe that in many cases this Is done
because of failure to understand what
this war really is.
This is war of defense. II is per-
fectly described in the words of the
Constitution which established this ma
ton, ITO provide for the common de-
Tense" and "To secure the blessings Of
liberty TO ourselves and sOur posterlty."
The national defense demands not
merely force. bat intelligence. 1t re-
quires foresight, consideration Of the
policies and purposes Of other nations,
understanding OF the inevitable or
probable consequence of the acts OF
other nations, judgment as to the time
when successful defense may he made,
and when it will be too late, and prompt
action before 1t is too late.
BY entering this war the United
States availed itself Of the very last.

WHAT THE VICTORY OR
DEFEAT OF GERMANY
LEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN

Contributed by ALBERT PAYSON
TERHUNE, author and globe-trOtter,
to the National Security Leagues
campaign of Patriotism Through Edu-
cation)
Germany's victory would mean all
that the alarmists have said-7the set
back of humanity, democracy, civiliza-
ton, rights of man, etc. But, to Amer
lea, it would mean infinitely more.
1t would mean our first national de
feat; and, thus, would smash our per
feet record for victories-a record as
old as our nation-a record that means
more than the right to brag. Even as
a beaten army never wholly regains its
old form-eVen as a beaten ring cham
piOn sinks at once into desuetude-sO
our nation (its traditions of victory
gomez would suffer far worse deteriOra-
ton than the mere fact of defeat could
inflict
1t would mean that the man who has
risked all in his eountry's struggle for
Right could never again feel his former
calm certainty that Right must tri-
umph. Thus, the moral tone OF the In
dividual, as well as Of the nation,
would inevitably be lowered.
This country has never embarked IN
a war of conquest From ITS to the
present we have fought fer Liberty or
for Union or for the Oppressed-ever
for some sterling principle of right.
From childhood we have been taught
to believe that the high unselhshness
of our war aims has given us the vie
tory. We have seen the decay or de-
struction of men and nations that have
battled for dominiOn-as Germany is
now battling. Should we fail In this,
our mightiest war for the Right, the
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothingness to its pres
ent estate. For that Faith, more than
for anything else, our sacrifice Is a
hundredfOld justified.

NEY, now at the front for the IN. I.
Tribune" to the National Security
Leagues campaign of PATRIOTISM
Through Education.)
Although Germany, while yet
"friend." intrigued against our peace
and order, urged Japan and Mexico to
make war on us, and murdered our
men. women and children, there are
those among us processing loyalty and
intelligence who practically say this is
not our war and appear unable to real
lie that the defeat of the boche is as
vital to US Americans as was the VIC
tory of 1776.
Then we declared for independence
now we fight to maintain it.
1t is not merely that we fight In
answer to indignity and material In
fury done us through attack on our
rights as a nation and on the lives
of our citiXens-nOt merely to uphold
our place among self-respecting peo-
ples-that we are at war but literally
for our self preservation as republic.
To uuEzle this war-mad wild beast
we have taken up arms-that the
world shall be safe for the freemen OF
the world.
The world cannot rest in peace while
Germany holds the destiny of other
peoples in her blOod-dripplng hands.
The world cannot live in peace with
people that commits, or permits her
sponsors to commit in her name, the
foul acts of treachery. of vandalism,
of bestiaIity, Of murder, that have
marked the trail of the German army
over Europe.
One doctrine or the other must pre-
vail; either the German brutal right of
might or the civilized might of right
one or the other-muSt succumb In this
conflict to the death. And should it
be the German doctrine-then shall we
fall under the domination of a people
that have robbed and raped and looted
and burned and killed, that the
"kuItur' of a military oligarchy shall
live.
truth, justice or mercy, as It's own acts
have proved, and its defeat is a neces-
sary first step for the peace of the
world and the freedom of civilization.
For the safety of American institu-
tons it must be destroyed; for the
safety Of American freedom, yours and
mine and of all Of us.
We are in the midst of war, our war,
the war of every freeman, of every
man and woman who does not indorse
cowardly murderous assault upon the
weak and innocent, brutal injustice,
and atrociOus acts; and If We would
preserve the Stars and Stripes and all
they stand for we must fight the Huns
abroad and the pacifists at home with
Rll our strength.

"?LkTTSBURGS" FOR

To Be Held by National Security
League Throughout Country
During Coming Summer.

Teachers Plattsburgs," at which
100000 public school teachers win be
given practical training in patriotic
education, will be held during the COM
ing summer in practically every state
in the Union by the National Security
League. The scheme of this elaborate
new division of the Leagues Patriot
ism Through Education campaign is
conceived on the same basic idea along
which the League has been working
for some time, concentrating on the
teachers of the youth of the land and
thereby reaching the children through
the teachers and the people through
their children.
The objects of the Leagues cam
paign are tyFo-fold-actlve comba iing

ing a more responsible American citi
zenship.
At Summer Schools.
The Security League will conduct
these Teachers Plattsburgs" through
the medium of the summer schools for
country every year 1t has not yet
been determined how many centers
will be used. The matter is being
taken up with all of the 700 summer
schools of the country and probably
between so and IS of the training
camps will be established, the schools
selected being chosen after careful in
veStNaation as to attendance, breadth
of influence and convenience of loca-
ton.
The training camps will be conduct
ed by leading 4st:scators whose cooper
alton will be Halisted by the League.
The actual instruction will be under
the direction of Dr. Robert NJ McEl-
roy, educational director of the
League, and the members of the ma
tional Patriotic Education Faculty"
which he has organized. The League
already has over 1000 experienced pa
triOtic speakers on it's Speakers Blu

and women will be detailed to the
Teachers Plattshurgs" and their
number will be augmented by vOlun-
,teers from the principal colleges and
universities of the country, whose AGA
demic duties have prevented them
from taking active part in the patri-
otto education work outside their i'm
mediate field. but who will be free
during the summer months.

of vital interpretations of the war by
men and women who have given care

front with all its tragedy and majestic
beauty. But worst Of all. 1t put an end
to all trips to Goritz, for the officer
said no further chances Of this kind
could be taken. 1t was Just as well,
for now the great Offensive OF the
enemy burst Unexpectedly, and with II
came the retreat from the Goritz line.
Fortunately or unfortunately, I had
seen 1t at the last moment when the
tide was turning.
Situation Explained.
At the cafe where we went for lunch
the officer from headquarters laid out
the big military map on the table and
/ explained the military situation. It
was this: The enemy was bringing
great masses Of men to the north Of
the Biansizza plateau. His design was
evident. The Italians by their last adj
vance had swung a ring which was
threatening Trieste. To save Trieste
the enemy must force the Italians back
to the Isonzo river, as another italian
offensive would clear the Carso range
and give the Italians the mastery OF
Trieste. To the enemy the time had
come when he must act before the Ital-
ians played their final card and held
the jewel Of the Adriatic.
AS we pored over the map. the in
creasing roar Of the artillery told that
the enemy was losing no time in his
prietOr of the cafe was an intelligent
old man, and I asked him If the fire
we heard was the same as usual. He
shook his head and said: mo, it is
very much heavier and it seems as
though something was going to hap
pen." This was the instructive feel
ing Of the people on the spot who had
gone through this day after day for
months. They felt the Llow coming.
On the corner there were two women
of the working class talking together
under an umbrella, for it was raining
hard. Their Indifference to the she'll
ing seemed strange, and I stopped to
ask them If the bombardment did not
brighten them and keep them awake at
night.
They were puzzled for a moment, as
though not comprehending such an In
quiry, and then they shrugged their
shoulders.
"We are used to it," they SAID ut
used to frighten us at first, and the
children still cry at night. But what
can we do?"
These were typical townswomen
who had become habituated to the dan
ger and destruction all around them
and were now stopping on the street |
corner in the rain to exchange the |
latest gossip. One Of the women had |
the features of an Austrian, and she
smiled as she heard the rumble of the |
Austrian guns and looked off toward |
the enemy lines so near.
Within three hours when we got |
back to headquarters the full force of |
the blow had been struck and the great
offensive against Italy
was in full operation.
