treason, and if justice is done, will take
their places beside the leaders of the
i. w. in Leavenworth prison.
Any party preaching sedition,
preaching the malign spirit Of class
hatred, weakens us in the face Of the
foe in war time, and such party puts
itself outside the pale. No man who
belongs to it has any right to the sup.
port Of upright and honest American
lcitizens at this time" 55i
TO the great gathering which greet
ed him at the auditorium and Arcadia
rink on Monday night the colonel
pleaded, as patriot, for oversubscrib-
ling the Liberty loan, for ignoring all
peace plans except an unconditional
surrender by Germany, and for blot
ting out sedition and the Hun within
our gates. Among other things he
said:
"Gernany need not worry about
terms of peace. Well settle that for
her. We will tell Germany what the
terms will be, and all she will have to
do will be to say yes sir One thing
we will not do is to let up on our efforts
because Germany seems to be weaken
ing. When you get q man groggy the
thing to do is to put him out.
"They used to stir up feeling by
pleading against the bondholders.
Now we have a chance to make the
people and the bondholders intercon-
vertible terms. Liberty bonds are the
best security on earth. You are alb
solutely certain to get your money un-
less Uncle Sam bursts up, and if he
does, we'll all burst up too, and moth
ing will be worth anything.
"Boys in the service, and the mothers
and wives who sent them, stand first
in patriotism. No one else is excused
from doing extra work to help the
boys except the mothers Of young
children.
eve must all insist on thorough
going Americanism in this country
and insist on speeding up the war in
every possible way.
eve are fools if we think there has
been any change of heart in Germany
because her body is sore from our
punches. Last spring when she was
winning she was saying she would
keep Belgium and part of France
and settle the affairs Of the world to
her own satisfaction. She is the same
Germany at heart today. The only
certain way to insure peace for the
longest time possible is to knock out
Germany now.
Something can be accomplished by
arbitration and league Of nations,
but Only if we keep our own strength.
We have a league Of nations now, the
allies, and they are a going concern.
I would like to add to that from time
to time, and the first I would add would
be the Czecho- Slovaks.
ssThe pacifist told us chat if we kept
unarmed everybody would love us. We
stayed unarmed and Germany did not
love us to any extent that we could
see"
4.The internationalist, who used to
say he loved other countries or some
other country as we'll as America, is
like the man who says he loves his
wife very much but some other woman
more. That ends in the police court,
and the man who assumes that atti-
tude toward our country at this time
should be interned for the war, and
then sent back to that other country
he loves so much"
This brought the audience to it's
feet cheering. ~ think I'm with this
audience" the colonel chuckled.
"I'm not speaking of spies and trait
ors now" he went on, II wouldn't take
any time with them I'd bury them.
every man has to be 100 per cent
! American or he is not an American at
all. He cannot be a 95.5 per cent
American. There IS no room IN Cnls
country for any other flag, either the
black flag of Germanized socialism or
the red flag Of anarchy. We have
room for only one flag and one Ian
guage, that of the Declaration Of In
dependence, of Washington's Fare
well Address, of Lincoln's Gettys-
burg Address the English language.
i would insist that in every school,
both public and private,
nothing but the English Ian
guage should be used, and that in
the higher grades German, French and
other languages should be taught only
as cultural languages. The foreign
language papers should be tolerated
only as a transitional stage.
