Sons of America
Get Fine Thoughts
On Citizenship

Garfield, N. j., March 31-Wash-
ington Camp No. 161, Patriotic Order,
Sons of America, held very enthusi-
astic meeting tonight in their rooms
over the First National Bank of Gar
field. Judge Cornelius Doremus, a
gubernatorial candidate, was the
speaker of the evening. He said in
part: Patriotism is the word which
today is upon the tongues of all. The
love of country and of home is the
keynote of our present civilization
and our future progress and well-be-
ing as a community, state and nation.
Your great order is to be congratu-
lated upon your progress in the great
work of Good Citizenship
81 am profoundly impressed by the
objects of your order, the basic prin-
ciple Of which is patriotism. The
stately edifice of our matchless Gov
ernment rests upon the foundation
made up of the principles upon which
your order rests. Good government
and good citizenship are interchange
able and inter-dependent The bal
lot is the basis and means whereby
patriotism is made practical and
progressive.
Units such as yours play a great
part in moulding our individual and
national character and as your indi-
vidual efforts are multiplied by the
number of units composing your
great order, functioning in every
state in this Union, so the combined
influence in the ratio is the influence
for good upon this great nation of
ours. Among the essentials of good
citizenship are: Organization, honor,
pride-achievement, character, and
religious belief and moral courage"
The speaker emphasized the abso-
lutte necessity for obedience to law
and law enforcement and spoke at
length on the Constitution.
The judge alluded to many other
pressing problems and spoke of
Americanization as one of the press
ing needs of the day. He compli-
mented the audience upon their deep
interest, as members of the order, in
their Americanization work and dwelt
at considerable length upon the ad-
vantage to the state and nation of
the work being done. He mentioned
that in Bergen county alone during
the past year nearly nine hundred
citizens had been given their final
papers.
Reverence for the Bible and it's
teachings were the subject of an in
spring reference and in conclusion
the speaker alluded to the flag as the
star of hope of the world.

MULTIPLY WAR HORRORS Former Member of German General Stan Talks on Eu1mre COmhats

Berlin, Jan. 30. - Writing on the war of the future and the weapons 1t will be fought with. Hans Ritter. at one time member of the Ger man general staff, draws a picture of the indiscriminate staying of women and children. Electrical sci ence will make possible the wiping out of entire districts behind the enemy lines without, danger to the aggressor, he declares, and non- combatants will suffer as much as uniformed soldiers,
 Electric rays offer many destruc- tive possibilities, the author ayers. Inventors must devise methods to ignite explosives at long distance, put motors out of commission and destroy the eyesight of opposing combatants. Science today can in- crease the virulence of bacteria, and the use of certain gases will ren- der the human organism more sus- ceptible to disease.
