Admits All Pro-Gern,ans
Denour,ce His Actions

Mr.. Burleson has stated that he has
received more complaints about my
writings than about those of Mr..
Hearst. In view of Mr.. Burleson's rec
ord and actions, there is small cause
Tor wonder in this. Every pro- German
and anti-American, every believer in a
feeble American war and triumphant
herman peace, every man who follows
Mr. Hearst, would naturally appeal for
sympathy to Mr.. Burleson in de-
nunciation of what I have done.
"Messrs. Hearst and Brisbane
through their papers have been un-
ceasing in their attacks upon England
and Japan. The New York American
on December 20, 1917. said that the
offensive and defensive alliance then
negotiated between Japan and Eng
land was aimed at the United States
This deliberate falsehood was pub
iished at the very time that England
was defending US with her feet and her
army. There could be no meaner ex-
ample Of treachery TO our allies and
OF sabservience to our enemy. It was
thousand times more worth the at
tention of Mr. Burleson than anything
done by the small papers against which
the Postoffice Department did act.

in our newspapers one language, the
language of the Declaration of indie
pendence, of Washington's farewell
address and of Lincoln's Gettysburg
speech.
"This is one side of Americanism.
But there is another side just as i'm
portant. If man behaves as an
American it is an infamy to hold his
creed or his national origin against
him or to fail in any way to give him
the square deal as an American. If
the man is a straight American it is
our business to stand by him.
II don't care rap whether he is
care a rap whether his ancestors or he
himself came from England or Ire
land or Germany, France or Italy, the
Scandinavian or the Slavonc countries.
We have a right to insist that he be
an American and nothing else. If he
lives up to that requirement he has
right to insist that we treat him ex-
actly on level with every other
American.
"At this moment the great majority
of the Americans who are in whole or
in part of German blood are as heartily
loyal to- America and therefore as

other good Americans. These men are
fit to hold every office, civil or military,
from the highest to the lowest, in this
country. The best textbooks on Ameri-
cansm and on the duty of Americans
within this country and in regard to
Germany that have been written by
Americans during this war have been
written by Americans who themselves
are partly of German blood. Witness

James Beck's documents in the Case
and Gustavus Ohlinger's Their True
Faith and Allegiance
GAS a matter of fact, all our chill
dren's children will intermarry and in
very few generations all our people
will derive their blood from various
European nationalitics. Let me give
you my own case. About two and a
half centuries ago some German peas
ants who had been driven out of the
Palatinate by the armies of Louis XIV
came to America and founded Ger
mantown, near Philadelphia. Two of
these were ancestors of mine. At
about the same time a French Profess
tant came here because the Catholics
in France prosecuted the Protestants,
and an Irish Catholic came here be-
cause the Protestants in Ireland perse-
cuted the Catholics; and some Dutch
traders settled at the mouth of the

Harvey Says Brzrleson
Is Encouraging Enemy

the North American nns can Review W War ar
Weekly that Mr.. Burleson is en-
couraging enemy language publications,
by having special division whose
function is to assist editors of for
eign language papers Sin complying
with the law The Act of Congress
provides that all foreign language pa
pers should submit to censorship or
go out of business. The Postoffice
Departments duty is merely to sup
of reasonable practices Apparently,
as Mr.. Harvey points out, Mr.. Burle-
son, instead of suppressing papers that
preach sedition, establishes division
to show them how they can escape
suppression.
"Mr. Hearst's papers are infinitely
the most important of those which
during the last year and quarter have
tended to serve Germany and have
harmed the United States by attacking
our allies or opposing our effective par
Gus other papers published in English
or German which have been less i'm
portant offenders.
"On April Professor Guernsey
Jones, of the University of Nebraska,
published an article in The Nebraska
State Journal on The Enemy Press
He quoted various articles that have
appeared in German american papers
since the war, and lsome of them as
late as January, February and March
last, championing the German-Ameri-
can Alliance, attacking England and
japan, announcing that the problem of
the German press is to save Deutsch-
tum in the United States demanding
a peace which would give Germany the
victory, praising Gerhany's action tow
ard Russia, and in other ways, as Pro-
lessor Jones says, showing themselves
to be fnsolent organs of Prussianism.'
"These papers were being published,
and Mr.. Hearst was publishing his pa
ners. without interference by the Post
Office Department and the government,

English blood took the lead against the
British King and his hackers.
I'm this war it should be the Ameri
can of German blood who takes the lead
against the Germany of the Hohen-
zollerns. the Germany that has become
menace to liberty and to justice and
to mercy and to honor throughout the
world. America has special and in
tolerablc grievances of her own against
Germany, for no nation is worth being
called nation if it permits such
wrong as Germany did this country to
go unpublished.
But in addition America is fighting
the battle of all we'll behaved nations.
1t is fighting for the right of free peo-
pies to exist. No nation can be of
iull effect in such a war as this unless
1t stands loyalty by it's. allies; and any
man who now seeks to embroil us with
our allies is a traitor to the cause of
America. W.
Nor can any nation make such a
ngnt effectively if it is not itself
united. We can permit no division
mere. Our ideals and our principles of
ness must be the same in Whatever
part OF the country we dwell and from
Whatever stock we came. Therefore
we must have but one tlag-the Ameri-
can flag, and but one languagewthe
Engllsh language. In our primary
schools nothing but the English Ian
ssuage should be taught or studied, and
me law should require that after a
reasonable period every newspaper in
'h's country be published in English.
Warns Lutheran Church
"As for our higher institutions of
learning, all foreign languages should
be taught in them insofar as it is con-
sldered necessary, but the language of
tne nigh school or college itself should
always be the English language, and
only the English language-just as it
is in Wittenberg college to-day, Just
as 1T is in Rutgers College, which nv
own Dutch Reformed ancestors helped
to found. And what is true of the
newspaper and the college is true of
the church. Let the Lutheran Church
profit by what befell my own church,
the Dutch Reformed Church, in New
York. That church chung to Dutch as
language and dwindled until it's lead
ers saw that it was doomed unless it
adopted English as it's tongue.
eff the Lutheran Church tries to re-
main a German church, using the Ger
man language, either it will dwindle or
else it will be an alien body in the
American commonwealth. We Ameri
cans must speak in the school, in the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-05-26

Americanism to-day at Wittenberg
College. an institution founded by
Lut'1erans of German blood, speaking
from a platform which he shared with
the Lutheran president of the college
and dignitary of the Catholic Church,
both of them of German origin.
He linked together the German
American Alliance, the Sim Fein and
the Russian BolsAeviki as elements
which put other sentiments before
loyalty to America. The home folks
must be thoroughgoing Americans, he
declared, and back up their soldiers.
The way to do it, he said, was to do
1.-THE thing that is next"
Colonel RooseveIt's Address
His address follows:
"At this time no good American
should sleep easily if during the day
he has not done everything in his
power to put this country back of the
armed men who in France are fighting
for our own national honor and inter
est, and for the future of the free
peoples of civilized mankind. The
peril is faced by and the honor is
rightly due to those at the front. But
the rest Of us, the men and women who
cannot get to the front, must at least
back up our men in every possible
way; and the way to back them UP is
every day, every week, every month to
do the thing that is next
"At this moment the thing that is
next is the Red Cross drive. Last
month it was the Liberty Loan. And
all the time the biggest thing that is
next is to back up the men who wear
our uniform by insisting that we at
home tolerate absolutely no division
on the great question of Amercanism.
at is primarily on this question of
Americanism that 1 come to speak to-
day. I accepted the invitation to come
here from the president of Wittenberg
College, who informed me he wished
me because Wittenberg College, found
ed by Lutherans of German blood, was
American and nothing elise, and that he
wanted me to preach the straightest
and stiffest doctrine of Americanism,
