BAR OUT THE GERMANS.

BAN w ne GEn AND.
The statement was made in con-
gress few days ago by an eastern
congressman who had introduced a
bill to prohibit any one who bore
arms against the United States or
her allies being admitted to the
United States, that tens of thousands
of German soldiers who were taken
prisoner by the allies plan to come to
the United States as soon as the war
was settled and they could get away.
He opposed admitting them and in
troduced a bill to that effect. Other
congressman had been asked to in
troduce such a bill but they placed
the vote of the COMMUNICATIONS in
their home districts above that of the
real Americans and feared to intro
duce such a bill for fear of losing the
vote of German born citizens in their
home districts. These will hear from
their home districts when the soldier
boys return and get organized and
draw the line between the real Am
erican and the half-breed.
We do not want any German, Aus
TRAN, Bulgarian or Turk who fought
with Germany to destroy the freedom
of the world and make the entire
world the vassal of Kaiser Bill, adj
mitted to the United Statese. To
admit them would be an insult to the
women and children of this country
and to the soldiers who fought and
defeated them. They are not peni-
tent. They are wholly selfish They
want to come to the country they
would have destroyed at the command
of their emperor, and enjoy the free
dom they tried so hard to destroy.
We do not want as neighbors the men
who burned villages, shot helpless
women and children, killed Edith
Cavill, bombed hospitals and sunk the
Tuscania and hospital ships. W
Let them remain in the country
they served, the country that made
war upon the rest of the world, the
country that is hated, despised and
loathed as no country has ever been.
They helped to destroy France and
Belgium and Serbia and they gloated
over what they had done. Let them
remain in Germany to work and earn
money to repay the damage done, to
pay the billions of dollars of indem-
nifty that country must pay, and let
them and their children and their
children's children carry the burden
they heaped upon the world.
These men, whom the German peo-
pie acclaim as "unconquered heroes"
are needed in Germany to make good, |
as far as possible, the damage done.
The same applies to the Austrians, the
the Bulgarians and the
Turks.
President Wilson spent last Sunday
looking over a portion of the area
ruined by the Germans and he said
that no words could describe the i'm
preston this scene of desolation made
upon him. Rest assured that when he
returns he will give his sanction to
laws that will forbid admitting to
American citizenship, or the enjoy
nent of American freedom, these
orutes who were capable of crimes
hat words cannot describe

WHOM DOES HE REPRESENT?
When a man is elected to the United
states senate does he go there as the
representative of himself or
# his state? This is a question that
S attracting attention in more than
me state in the Union. New York is
with the question now and
Their states are equally interested.
Jew York's senator refused to vote
