PERSHING WANTS YOUR HELP.
Your Dollars Needed To Furnish Air
Fleet To Bomb Hun Out OF War.

Gen. Pershing, who better than
any American, is in position to see
the size of the task confronting
this country in subduing the Hun,
does not take the same rosy view of
the situation that some of the over
optimistic stay-at-homes do.
In a statement issued last week,
Gen. Pershing says he will need 25,-
900 aeroplanes by July, 1919, to
win the war. Because of the WON
derful successes recently some at
home were inclined to think the end
was in sight, and thse do not see the
necessity for straining very nerve
and purse to provide the munitions
and supplies necessary to win the
war.
The Fourth Liberty Loan, which
opens September %, must be SUBJ
scribed in full and promptly. Just
at the crucial moment fall down
of the ones at home would spell dis
aster as surely as the fall down of
the boys over there just when they
should be putting forth the best that
is in them.

Purge Our Population.

signed. America was conceived for
Americans. in the full and right
sense of the word, and not for dis
senters and traitors. 1t was not
opened to Germans that they might
come over here and be Huns, either
in word, spirit or deed.
And yet they are here, by thous-
ands, and we permit them to remain.
How long do you think a patriotic
American in Germany would be al
lowed to denounce Germany and as
cribe all the virtues to America?
He would not be shipped, he would
be. shot, and that before SHUTDOWN.
V need not stoop to the cruelty of
Huns, nor would we ever do the
atrocious and uncivilized things they
have done and are doing. We new
err would, or could. But why should
we tolerate, a day longer than the
ships can be built in which to de-
port them, the presence here of
those who. by their own emphatic
utterances, are not now and want
never to be, one OF us?
The transition from Imperialism
to democracy has been so extreme,
these people have despised us and
our government. They have trans
lated liberty into license and scorn-
ed us for our generosity.
1t would not require so very many
of the 5000 ships now building, and
to be built in the next thirty months,
to bring a great light to some peo-
pie. Many would then awaken
from their sleep of Hunnish cen
turtles and begin to grasp the i'm
measurable benefaction of being
permitted to live here. And as for
the others, they are irredeemable
and hopeless, and the sooner we rid
ourselves of them, the better.
When one thinks of the hun
dreds of thousands of loyal as you
or | or anyone, who, born in Ger
many or of German descent, are
gladly sending their sons to fight
the battle for freedom, and with
voice and purse doing their utmost,
one regrets to have to raise pen, or
act. against some of their race. But
no one more than the loyal Ameri-
can of German blood will approve d
thorough purging, not only of dis
loyal Germans, but disloyal anybody.
regardless of their nationality!
Send them all away, no matter
who or what they are, if they are
anything but Simon-pure Americans
now. And having sent them away,
make it impossible for them, or their
children, ever to enter our gates
again.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1918-09-18

Last month we considered the
advantage OF sending back bodily to
Germany those willful spirits whose
actions and utterances were so flag
rant our government has been fore
ed to intern them for the duration OF
the war. 1t might be added that
failing to do so, and turning them
loose again in our midst, they, I'M
penitent, will still cherish those
same un-American ambitions, with
resentment added by reason OF their
imprisonment.
But why should we single out or
restrict ourselves to these few hun
dreds who have been found guilty
in our courts of justice? For each
one so convicted there are thous-
and whose hearts are bitter against
American principles and ideas OF
freedom and individual privilege.
The very fact that any man or wom-
an could live, say even five years III
this country and still be loyal to the
kaiser and disloyal to the United
States, is sufficient evidence that he
lacks the materials which come out
gold from the melting pot. He is
dross, the pure gold is not in him;
nor is it likely the alchemy of free
dom, even such as ours, can ever
make him over. And if after a few
year of opportunity he has failed to
respond, then it is evident he is
menace, and not worth, nor desery-
ing, any further effort. He is
clog and drag on our civic progress,
even though he may do an honest
days work and keep out of jail.
Now is our opportunity to en-
phasize what American citizenship
means, and to declare Enthusiastically
that any who do not and will not be-
come one of us in our ideals Of
national citizenship, and share con-
scientiously our ideals and our free
dom, is a misfit and does not belong
here. Such men and women are
menace as long as they remain.
Their absence, therefore, not their
company, becomes desirable.

II was never intended as a sanctu-

foreign home, that the Declaration
of Independence was fought for and

The world despises busybody and

ment which holds the average map

his neighbours private affairs. To

tend that one is responsible for what

There are other things than purely

BIBLE STUDY CLUB
 AT THE Y. M. C. A.
Patriotism and Courage Topic of the
 Evening.

Tuesday evening at the local Y. AE e, 4. the. Young Mems Bible Study club held an interesting session. The topic of the study was Patriotism and Courage, and Gideon was the hero of the study.
 The following points were brought out in the discussion: That Gideon first of all determined to ascertain without any doubt that he was the man God wanted to lead the battle against the Midianites, and when he was convinced that he was, he pro- eeeded to follow the leading of tie Almighty.
 The job God gave Gideon was a really hard one and humanly speaking, lit was sn impossible task. but this great leader proved equal to the prop
 osition. Gideon had for his army 2,00D men, while the Midianites had probably 135000; and notwithstanding the odds against him, Jehovah told him that he had too many men. The average man would say that this was a mistake, but God said reduce the number. Two tests were made in or der to find the men fit for the task Under the instructions of the Al mighty, Gideon told all who were afraid to go home, and to the SUP prise of everybody 22,0O0 of them fail ed in this test and but 10000 measured
 up Then God said there are yet too l many, and another test was made which reduced the number to 300, and
 these were told to go forward to bat tie and they won a great victory. Some of the lessons deducted from the study were: First, that God does not necessarily need 8 large number to fight his bat
 ties, but he must have men of supreme loyalty.
 1 Second. that the battle is Gods. but
 he chooses to use human agencies, and
 that even if we cannot do so very
 much we are expected to do all ".
 possibly can. and God will do the rest
 The one great thing that God CT, peeted of these 300 men was absolute
 faith in him. The truth was empha-
 sized that 'one with God is a mi Ijority"
