You Find One Give His Name
In to the Nearest Federal
or County Officer

\ pro-German 3 man who, by
'rlysto onpublic utterances, stands in
he way Of a whole hearted prose"u-
ion Of this war and the defeat of the
;osman WI to conquer.
He may do L by lind,ng fault with
he conduct Of the war He may GO 1t
y i'm. IlC, cable peace arguments, lie
may do it through a mistaken policy
.e may do i because he is in the llaN
the German government He nay
o it because he has be"n befoolel and
,amboszled by those who are in Ger
.lny's pay.
The German WI to expansion bN
0nqucst must be broken by defolt. II
nat rapacous VIII be not broken n
r viii not give us peace. In all the
s.G.y c. he wol.d ,Gere never eX-

lie Cthc. than are the Germans
as . tNc because the German ~
IS 50 brutal, so cruel, so scien,iti-
lily eAtermindtng In the streets Of
worry town in German Poland children
re failing and dying Of starvation
h ldren s to > years Of age are being
'amied through the streets by ,heT
arents because they are too Weak to
walk lk-bccauic of starvation IN
Poles are being eXterminated as fast
IS possible by the Germans just as IA"
ArmenianS--the oldest Christian Nd
non in the world-are being eXter1nl-
mated by THE Germans and Turks.
Why? Because Germany wants The
property Of the Poles for Germans
,ftcr the war; and because they want
he pre- crty Of the Armcn.ans for the
Turks and Germans after the war
Thpir WI can and must be brokea
jy defeat II is not the will of the in
dividual German, 1t is the bloody
,rutal, cruel, devilish will Of the Cor
nan government and the German rui-
ing class, miseducated in the school
which believes that war is the sum
nation of human good,
A pro German is anyone who stands
n the way of our succe isful PROSE
,ution of the war Every word that
alls from the tongue OF any Ameri =.
an or is written by him carries With
responsibility greater than ever
existed in the history Of this nation,
look well to what you say or do
Germany has in this country hun
lreds of papers printed in the Ger
uan tongue. Whether this oughi 70
)c or not is grave question. If any
)f these paper are loyal, | do not
lnow of them. Some of them may
,e but have not heard of them
These and other papers and many
Individuals say they are for America,
)ut none of them say they are against
Germany.
He who is for US is against Ger
many He who is not against Ger
many, tooth and nail, in this war is
not for America.
You can tell the pro German by an
other test: If he is against France. Dr.
against Italy, or against Russia, he is
no German.
The armies and navies of these
powers are fighting our fight They
are dying by thousands every day TO
take the world safe for democracy
i we win, we must win because they
do most of the fighting and dying
while we only do some Of it.
The enemy of Great Britain is pro-
German.
The enemy of Rus gia is pro German
and antidemocratic.
The enemy Of Italy is against Am,
erica.
The enemy of France is lost to ev-
ely claim of patriotism.
DO not let these pro- Germans rol-
81 n the atmosphere in your locality
