"America For Americans
A MOTHER'S APPEAL
To
PRESIDENT WILSOX
I Reprinted from Manufacturers Re
cord, Au<„'ibt 30, 1»17.)
In tb.. agony of a mother's break
in. heart as she gives her best be
loved to the nation's call to save
t iviiu.'.tion, I plead with you to make
certain t'"at "he spies ami the pro
Uerwans ia tais country, whether
holding allegiance to Germany or
claiming to be Americans, shall not
It? i'-.-.-liiitted by u coutiuuation ' of
the ivoric which they have been
doing to lessen the chanoe for the
lify of iny boy and the millions
of other boys who are answering
your tall and offering themselves
on. the altar o; the nation's life.
-Mr. President, those of us who
are giving sons, hUobands or oth
er loved ones, are giving all that
we have in lrf?. Bravely we are
trying *o bear the sorrows which
liaro been placed upon us. Bravely
we aro trying to look forward with
same Ucpe of their return.
They are going out to fight the
mo>t desperate, diabolical enemies
ever known to mankind, and they
are going because >ou have called
them to this holy task.
We would not hold them back, fo
we know that they are going for
our hongr and to save us and all
womanhood from the feaTful fate
which has befai^u Beglium and
much of France.
But, Mr. President, we know
that their lives are being menaced
because of pro-German activities.
We know that many a soldier's life
will be lost w-hich might otherwise
have been saved had these pro-Ger
man activities been supressed with
a ruthless hand.
The men who in this country are
lighting the United States by work
ing for Germany are infinitely
more our enemies and the enemies
of these loTed ozies that we are
sending to Rattle than are the men
in Germany, even than the Kaiser
and his associates. These men at
home are seeking to stab our loved
ones la the back, and you, Mr.
President, know it. These black
hearted traitors to humanity are
walking our streets, doing busi
ness with our people, and yet are
allied with Hell in an effort to
make sure that many thousands of
our sons who might otherwise b«
saved shall be left ou the battle
fields of Europe.
In the name of the mothers, and
the wives, the sisters and the
sweethearts of all these soldiers
who are being called, and of the oth
er millions w-ho will be called, I
plead with you to supress with an
iron cand every man and woman in,
this country who secTetly or openly
is endeavoring to bring about the
murder of these beloved sons and
husbands and sweethearts—the very
flower of the nation's life. j_ a ^

DISCIPLINE AND RESPECT TOR
THE COLORS
"All persons la the military ser
vice are required to obey strictly
and to execute promptly the lawful
orders of their superiors." (Army
Regulations, par. 1.)
Discipline is not merely an obli
gation imposed upon you; It is a
proteciion to you. Your superiors,
from t*>s> commanding general down,
are Just as much bound' to respect
regulations of the Army as you are;
this includes respect for the rights
of every soldier. 1
"Military authority will be exer
cised with firmness, kindness, and
justice. While maintaining discip
line and the thorough and prompt
performance of military duty, all of
ficers, in dealing with enlisted men,
will bear in mind the absolute ne
cessity of so treating them as to
preserve their self-respct. Officers
will keeD in as close touch as pos
sible with the men undeT their com.
mand and will strive to build upi
such relations of confidence and
sympathy as will insure the free ap
proach of their men to them foe
counsel and assistance. This re
Jationship may be gained and main
tained without relaxation of the
bonds of discipline and with great
oenefit to the service as a whole.'*
It is within your power, Mr«
Presklent, to suppress this German
element. I
It is in your power to shorten
the length of this war and to savq
Co us thousands and tens of thous
ands tf lives of our soldier boys by
decidiug whether you will permit
these unbridled activities in behalf
of Germany to run rampant in
this country, or whether you will
suppress, before the firing squad If
need be, every man in this country,
who is a traitor to God, to Ameri
ca and to Humanity.
If you falter, Mr. President, anct
activities, regardless of th aumber
do not supress these pro-German
activities, regardless of the number
ber of spies and other German ag
ents who may have to pay the Just
penalty of their crimes, you will be
responsible before God and man for
the death of many times as many
American soldiers.
I would not aaa one 101a. 10
burdfu you are bearing;! wouldj
not seek to lessen the appreciation!
oI this country of the magnificent
work you have done; but for thej
boy who has left me at your call,
and 'he millions of boys who will
leave their loved ones, I plead withi
you that nothing shall be left un
done to lessen the dangers which,
they face.
And you know and I know that
dent, »hat these dangers will be in
creased many-fold if pro-Germans,
working for Germany and against
this country, are allowed to roam
the land unhampered In all their
vicious activities.
And you know and 8 know that
however true and good, however
loyal and patriotic may be some of
the people of German descent living
in this country, there are bo many
that their number must be millions,
who quietly sometimes, and openly
at olner times, are doing their ut
most tc bring about the downfall
of this country and the suceas of
Germany. Everywhere, on trians,
in factories, through the press and
in other ways these people are
seeking to sowthe seeds o£ discord
for the benefit of Germany.
The facts are too plain to be ig
nored. you know them full well,
and every other honest-hearted Am
erican knows them, and is constant
ly running agaist thiem.
Unless the Government suppress
es this element with a strong
hand, and with unbending determin
ation, uninfluenced by aught else
than the welfare of the nation and
the safety of the Uveg of Its sol
diers, there will come a time when
bitter, undying resentmnt and hat
led against every German-American,
will fill the hearts of American peo
ple.
And then the people, through!
mob spirit, in which the innocent as
well the guilty will suffer, will
Dreak loose and wreak vengeance
and do the things which) the Gov
ernment should in its official ca
pacity have done from the very be
ginning of the war.
For mz boy, and every other boy,
I pleid with you, Mr. President,
to reaiize that the lives of millions
of these boys are staked, ou what
the Government now does to sup
press pro-German activities In this
country. . > ' { J_ ; , ; <

X« essary Kule or Army Life j
Discipline is the necessary rule
of life In, the Army and is not in
the least inconsistent with your own
l>ride and self-respect nj a citizen
and a soldier.
Argument has no place in the Ar
my. Even favorable comment on
the conduct or order* of superior
officers is entirely out of place. Tie
duty <•* officers and men alike is
Uo obey promptly. However, intel
ligent. suggestions properly made ard
always welcome.
The discipline of the Army is
just and impersonal. You will be
treated with fairness. Your rights
will he respected. On your part
you mus* respect the rights and au
thority conferred upon others.
Sulutlug The Colors
I The American flag carried by a
regiment is known as the "colors."
It is the symbol of the Nation and
is treated always with the deepest
respect. Another flag in carried
which is the symbol of the regi
ment and is known as the " regi
mental colors." it is protected
with a devotion second only to that
felt for the national flag itself.
Officers and men passiug an un
cased color always honor it by sa
luting. The manner of jjalute is
the same as that previously de
scribed. The same rules of re
spect arc observed by men not in
formation when the uncased colors
are carried by.
The National Anthem
Similar rules of respect apply
whenever the Star-Spangled Banner
is played. Officers and enlisted
men not in formation stand at at
tention, facing toward the music
(except at "retreat," when they f.'ua
toward the flag). They salute at
the first note of the anthem, re
taining the position of salute until
the last note.
The common habit of rising slow
ly, standing in a slouching attitude,
and sometimes even carrying on
conversation, when the national am
them i> played, is an. indication of
gross icnorance or ill breeding. On
the otheT hand, the man who stands
silent and at attention is not only
showiu ' proper respect and setting
an example which will have its ef
fect on others, bnt is alio cultivating
in himself the feelings of pride and
of patriotism which should belong
I to every citizen of the country.

A Bit of Advice
First—Don't Delay. Secou.I—Don't
Experiment.
If you suffer from backache;
headaches or dizzy wells; if you
rest poorly and are languid in
the morning; if the kidney gecr^
tions are irregular and unnatural
in appearance, do not delay. Ln
such cases the kidneys often need
help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are ©special
ly prepared for kidney trouble —
they are recommended by thousands
Bead the following interesting state
ment.
Mrs. M. JE. Gagen, 1013-A Florida
St., San Francisco, Cal., says; "I
had dropsy and other kidney
trouble and was miserable. My
back couldn't have given me &uy
more misery if X had broken it.
My kidneys jvere weak"and my feet,
ankles and bands became swollen,*1 as
a result. I felt so miserable, run
down and depressed I was discour
aged. I could hardly bend over
because my back hurt me so much
Doaa'a soon strengthened and' regu
lated my kidneys. The swelling
went away and I was again well
and had all my; former| strength."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Dean's Kidney Pills— the same
that Mrs. Gagen, had. Foster-Mil
