12 AMERICANS OF GERMAN BLOOD URGED TO ENLIST [Continued from First Page.] until misled, corrupted and syste matically poisoned by the Prussian ruling caste, was, and deserved to lie an honored, valued and welcome (nember of the family of nations. I have hated and loathed that fepirit ever since it came within my ken many years ago, hated it all the more as I saw it ruthlessly pulling down a thing which was dear to me, the old Germany to which I was link ed by ties of blood, by fond mem ories and cherished sentiments. World I.ongs For Peace The difference in the degree of guilt as between the German people and their Prussian or Prussianized rulers and leaders for the monstrous crime of this war and the atrocious barbarism of its conduct, is the dif ference between the man who, acting under the influence of a poisonous drug, runs amuck in mad frenzy and the unspeakable malefactor who ad ministered that drug, well knowing and fully intending the ghastly con sequences which were bound to fol low. The world frequently longs for peace. But there can be no peace answering to the true meaning of the word, no peace permitting the na tions of the earth, great and small, to walk unarmed and unafraid, until the teaching and the leadership of the apostles of an outlaw creed shall have become discredited and hateful in the sight of the German people, until that people shall have awakened to a consciousness of the unfathomable guilt of those whom they have followed into calamity i end shame, until a mood of penitence and of a decent respect for the opin ions of mankind shall have sup planted the sway of what President Wilson has-' so trenchantly termed "truculence and treachery." More Appalled God grant that the German people may before long work out their own salvation and find the only road which will give to the world an early peace and lead Germany back to the family of nations from which it. is now an outcast. From each of my visits to Ger many for twenty-five years, X camei away more appalled by the sinister transmutation Prussianism had wrought amongst the people and hy the portentous menace 1 recogn ized in it for the entire world. It had given to Germany unparal leled prosperity, beneficent and ad vanced social legislation and not a few other things of value, but it had taken in payment the soul of the race. It had made a "devil's bargain." And when this war broke out in Europe, I knew that the issue had been joined between the powers of brutal might and insensate ambition on the one side and the forces of humanity and liberty on the other, between darkness and light. America's Cause Many there were at that time— and amongst them men for whose character I had high respect and whose motives were beyond any possible suspicion—who saw their own and America's duty in strict neutrality, mentally and actually, but personally I believed from the be ginning of the war, whether we liked all the elements of the Allies combination or not—and I certainly did not like the Russia of the Czars —that the cause of the Allies was America's cause. I believed that this was no ordin ary war between peoples for a ques tion of national interest or even national honor, but a conflict be tween fundamental principles and ideas; and so believing, I was bound to feel that the natural lines of race, blood and kinship could not be the determining lines for one's attitude and alignments, but that each man, whatever his orgin, had to decide according to his judgment and con science on which side was the right and on which was the wrong and take his stand accordingly, whatever the wrench and anguish of the de cision. And thus I took my stand three years ago— But whatever one's views and feel ings, whatever the country of one's birth or kin only one course was left for all those claiming the privilege of American citizenship when by action of the President and Congress the cause and the flght of the Allies was formally made our cause and our fight. Duty Rests Upon You The duty of loyal allegiance and faithful service to his country, even unto death, rests, of course, upon every American. But, if it be possible to speak of a comparative degree concerning what is the highest as it is the most elementary attribute of citizenship, that duty even more solemn and compelling obligation upon Ameri cans of foreign origin than upon niative Americans. For, we Americans of foreign an tecedents, are here not by the ac cidental right of birth, but by our own free choice for better or for worse. t We are your fellow citizens because you accepted our oath of allegiance as given In good faith, and because you have opened to us in generous trust the portals of American op portunity and freedom, and have admitted us to membership in the family of Americans, giving us equal rights in the great inheritance which has been created by the blood anil the toil of your ancestors, asking nothing from us in return but de cent citizenship and adherence to those ideals and principals which ship and world-dominion, to modify and prevert the mentality, indeed the very fibre and moral substance of the German people—a people which work from close by, having at Its dis posal and using to the full prac tically every agency for moulding the public mind.. 1 have watched it proceed with relentless persistency and profound cunning to instill into the nation the demoniacal obsession of power- wor- Always entrust your plating, polishing and reflnishing work to us and you will always be well pleased with the results.

WOJ to the foreign-born American who betrays the splendid trust which you have reposed In him! Woe to him who considers his American citizenship merely as a convenient garment to be worn In fair weather but to be exchanged for another one in time* of storm and stress! Woe to the German-American, so called who in his sacred war for a cause as high as any for which ever people took up arms, does not feel a solemn urre, does not show an eager determination to be In the very forefront of the struggle, does not prove a patriotic • jealously, in thought. In action and in speech, to rival and to ouCdo his native-born fellowcltizen in devotion and in willing sacrifice for the country of his choice and adoption and sworn allegiance and of their common af fection and pride. As Washington led Americans of British blood to fight against Great Hrltian, a3 Lincoln called upon Americans of the North to light their very brothers of the South, so contracted by her. Americans of German descent are now summoned to join in our coun try's righteous struggle against a people of their own blood which, under the evil spell of a dreadful obsession, and. Heaven knows, through no fault of ours, has made itsei; the enemy of this peace-loving nation, as it is the enemy of peace and right and freedom throughout the world. To gain America's independence, to defeat oppression and tyranny, was indeed to gain a great cause. To preserve the Union, to eradicate slavery was perhaps a greater cause. To defend the very foundations of liberty and humanity, the very groundwork of fair dealing between nations, the very basis of peaceable living together among the peoples of the earth against the fierce and brutal onslaught of ruthless, lawless, faithless might; to spend the lives and the fortunes of this generation so that our descendants may be freed from the dreadful calamity of war and the fear of war, so that the en ergies and millions and billions of treasure now devoted to plans and instruments of destruction, may be given henceforth to fruitful works of peace and progress and to the betterment of the conditions of the people—that is the highest cause for Dives, Pomeroy We Are So Pleased to I [~~ 350 Sample Pair I Alive , B ° ys Like AnnouncetheArrivalof feclHipGCk OllltS Croft 0171 677 sFo.llSh.o6S ign { d MS®rj -g^ Turbans rrr Attractively Priced IjS^Pn KSfT&wßffitk famous for their style I fMtwW I z? nn 4 <n>r\ s\s\ ol ,* M • Bri eht-eyes, quick-think- {{ l j\ \ and beauty.

GREAT BATTLE IN AIR SAVES LONDON [Continued from First l'age.] which was coming toward London at a great height ana at great speed, was completely broken up by the British fliers, the raiders separating and all except one turning back, closely pursued. So effective were the measures taken to Intercept this lone Intruder that he was unable to penetrate beyond the outskirts of London. Big Guns Boom While the antiaircraft guns boomed constantly, establishing a barrage fire around the city, as on Monday night diners In hotels and restaurants and audiences in thetaers and at the opera at the time for the most part were indifferent and unaffected. Some theaters and moving picture places, anticipating the raid, had in cluded in their advertisement in the evening such announcements as "Moonlight nights open as usual. Ample bombproof shelter." Many persons went to parks and other open spaces for a good view of what they called "the Hun air show," while others went about the streets refusing to take to cover under stair ways, platforms and underground stations where the most cautious, In cluding thousands of women and children, sought shelter. The scenes in these sheltered places were simi lar to those of Monday night, many laughing and Joking and others read ing magazines, newspapers and books with which they had provided them selves apparently for a siege. The crowds in some places were having such a good time that the police found difficulty in dislodging them i when the "all clear" signal was given. The are abomhed was inhabited chiefly by the poorer classes, but aside from the broking of windows and Blight damage t,o two or three sm&U frame houses there was no property loss. The morning papers devote more space to descriptions of Monday night's raid than that of last night, all agreeing that he latter was a failure. A few papers containing editorial comment on the raid repeat the demand for reprisals and call for warnings of night raids the same as during the day. • Lord French, commander of the home defense, reports that the first group of raiders which approached London last night was driven back by gunfire, not more than two pene trating the city's defenses. Half an hour later the second group of raid ers was driven oft while approaching London. BRITONS SUCCESSFUL IN FIRST PHASE [Continued from First l'age.] into the enemy's territory where tho ground gained was well sonsolidated and held firmly against numerous desperate counterattacks. The point of the wedge has now almost reached a line extending di rectly northward from the great French manufacturing city of Lille, the envelopement of which is as sumed to be one of the great ob jectives' of the flanders attacks. In connection with the drive below Lille, carried out in the battle of Arras earlier this year. Uermana StaKKerlng The enlargement of th'e Ypres salient Is likewise having the effect of endangering the German line to the north, extending to the Belgian coast. Seemingly it Is now the pur pose of the British to concentrate their offensive moves here and by re peating the tactics pursued last year on the Somme compel a German re tirement on a wide front both to the north and south. The new British blow was Btruek to-day Just as the Germans were staggering from the effects of a san guinary repulse they sustained yes terday in heavy attacks which thev delivered on the ridge east of Ypres. The Germans had made their way into the British lines at two points on narrow fronts in one of these at tacks but were forced out in the later British counter effort. Xavy Shelf.* Coast Simultaneously the British are con tinuing their aerial and naval attacks on Belgian coast. Another bombard ment of Ostend, one of the German naval bases, was carried out yester day by British warships The Ger mans apparently attempted an aerial attack on the fleet, for tho British admiralty reports that air patrols over tho warships encountered six hostile machines, two of which were brought down. On the French front there has been only artillery activity and raiding op erations. The artillery tire was In tense last night in the Verdun region between Beaumont and Bezonvaux northeast of me fortress.
