.PRO-CERMANS IN
COUNTY BEWARE
BRADDOCKITES HANDLE PRO-
GERMAN-BURN
PICTURES.

Last Sunday evening scene extra
ordinary occurred in the streets of
Braddock when q dirty low-down pro-
German pup was made to carry the
American flag through every street
in Braddock and was followed by a
real patriotic bunch of young Amer
leans. He was then marched into
the Fitzgibbon Drug Store and before
crowd Of men and women was made
to kiss the American flag and pledge
his allegiance to this country. He
was then turned loose without any
severe punishment. The pro-German
has been working between here and
Hazelton for some time and while in
Braddock Sunday said he "would not
fight for this country" and that he
don't want to go back to Germany until
the war was Overcome break for a
fellow to make who was smuggled
out of Germany between two days
just about the time Germany rushed
onto little. Belgium and butchered not
only men, but also innocent women
and children, and comes to America,
the place of freedom and right, to re-
ceive all the liberty and protection
that We do All we can say is that
the pup got out of this deal pretty
lucky.
The patriotic spirit is just begin
ming to be worked up in Braddock
and there are few more of these
such pro-Germans in and around
Braddock who may find themselves in
great difficulty if they don't keep their
"chops" shut, and few of these are
women.
Braddock now has rs boys in gcv.
ernment service and these boys-the
best boys that Braddock ever had
have gone forth to sacrifice their lives
so that we, at home here, may still
enjoy the liberty that we always have
had, and still sore contemplate Gu,
will make break, and if this break
was to be heard by Our Boys who are
now in the trenches in France, il
would hurt them more than any bullet
or bayonet.
Another incident which occurred
Sunday evening after the parade was
the burning of two pictures, one Of
the kaiser and the other two
Bismarcks which were procured
from certain resident here
After the pictures were burned tn.
frame which contained the two Bis
marcks were returned to the owner
with picture of President Wilson il

A little deal like his shows up quite
a few of the people and through thi'
deal we find few sympathizers her,
that had better go little easy.

be Americans and remember wha
