ORGANIZED FOR WAR
Must Have 100 Per Cent Amer
icanism Says Smith

Maj. Rutlege Smith, chairman
Of the Council of Defense, has an
nounced that Tennessee is now
ready to declare to the world that
it is fully organized for the war in
all of its departments, and that it
now can take cognizance of all I'M
patriotic remarks and acts from
whatever source. The man, =
said, who makes remark or COY 3
mits an act calculated to do injuS
to the United States may expecu
to have his words and deeds inves-
tigated.
''The time has arrived" said
Mai. Smith, when we can say
those who are not for US are
against u.s. We are not going to
have any controversies here; we will
settle all controversies in Europe.
We must have 100 per cent Amer
icanism in this country, and those
who do not like US must get out.
1t has come to that end, and here
after we shall have no apologies to
make to anybody for what we do.
We do not propose to temporize
or minimize on any proposition,
but will require everybody to do
his duty or 90 to Jail
From this time on the war work
in this state in the interest of the
United States will be vigorously
prosecuted, and slackerism and pro-
German propagandaism must cease.
This is plain talk, but every word
of it is uttered in dead earnest.
This is America, and we are going
to have 100 per cent Americanism
here or know the reason why.
The man who thinks be can do and
say things intended to injure the
United States and get away With
it has another think coming. "
