patch to the Express.
To the Express correspondent Count
Won Bernstorff said he endorsed the
plan for a league of nations, which he
believes to be practical. He said that
in it he sees the only way to prevent
war by elimination of armaments.
we entirely agree with Premier
Lloyd-Geor2e and want to get rid OF
universal military service he said.
Count Won BernstorT thinks the Ger

believes it is unlikely to pass off with
out trouble and hopes that the gov

with the situation.
They will only have to shoot once"
he said. discussing this subject.

Keep Up Fight For
Americanism Last
Plea Of Roosevelt

New York, Jan. IA plea for con-
unuauon of the tight for Americanism
was Colonel Rooscvclt's last message
to the American people. II was read
Sunday night At an all American ben
Gift concert In the hippodromc by
Henry G. Quinby OF the American De-
fehse Society, VINO voiced the colonel's
regret at his inability to be present in
person because of illness. He wrote:
Il can not be with you so all | can
do Is 10 wish YOU Gouspeed. There
must be no tagging back in the fight
for Apprehension merely because tnI
war Is over.
There are plenty Of persons who
have already made the assertion that
they believe the American people have
short memory and that they intend
TO revive all the foreign associations
which most directly interfere with the
complete Amercanization Of our
people. Our principle in this matter
should be absolutely simple.
In the first place, VIC should insist
that If the Immigrant who comes here
does in good faith become an Ameri-
can and assimilates himself to us ne
every one else. for 1t Is an outrage
to discriminate against any such man
because of creed or birthplace or orig
in. But this is predicated upon the
mans becoming in very fact an AMI
er!caR and nothing but an American.
IF he tries TO keep segregated with
men of his own origin and separates
from the rest of America, then he Is
not doing his part as an American.
There can he no divided alliance at
ALL
I'VE have room for but one flag. tho
American flag, and this excludes the
red flag, whicn symboliHes all wars
against liberty and civilization, just
as much as it excludes any foreign
flag of a nation to which we are hos
tile. We have room for but one
language here and that is the English
language. for We intend to sec that
the crucible turns our people out as
Americans of American nationality and
not as dwe1lers in a polyglot boardin-
house, and we have room but for one
loyalty and that is loyalty to the Am
erican people"
