NATION-WIDE FIGHT AGAINST GERMAN PAPERS National Security League Starts Crusade for Their Elimination, Together With the Teach ing of German. A vigorous campaign to bring about the elimination o the teaching -of Ger man in the public schools of the coun try and to obtain the discontinuance of the publication of newspapers print ed in German has been launched by the National Security League. To or ganize its effort for these ends the "League has formed a -Committee on Foreign Language and Foreign Press, which will carry the fight into every nook and corner of the United States. The Committee ts composed of Col. Charles E. Lydecker, member of the Board of Trustees of the College of the City of New York and Chairman of the National Security League's Bfeard of Directors ; Edward H. Clark, Treasurer of the Security League; Ernest C. Brown, well known -New York editor and publisher - and Dr. Robert M. McElroy, Educational direc tor of the National Security League under leave of absence from Princeton University, where he is head of he Department of History and Politics. Stop Advertising. The principal basis of the Commit tee's campaign against German news papers will be the obtaining of the dis continuance of advertising in them. Col. Lydecker's committee has laid the following plan of campaign before the Chairmen and Secretaries of all the 281 branches, of the Security League : "There is no immediate need to have laws enacted to suDDress the foreign language dailies. In towns where there is a strong patriotic senti- ment a hostile minority should be per suaded by a clear and forceful expres sion of the views of the majority that ours must be, from this time forward, a one language nation. "See Our Mistake." "If a community will not support a newsdealer who handles the dally pa pers printed in foreign tongues It can thereby force him to deal only In Eng lish language papers. "Recognizing a general willingness to be patriotic and the rapid acqui escence from many quarters to compel the use -of English dailies, we urge! reasonably active measures on the part of the branches of the League. Jus tice requires this, for the fault does ' --v .au.ui. VJ0 not lie whollv with rhp niton Wo hat... ! failed hitherto to provide the machin-1 ery of education which the weldine,' process required. We have counte-! nanced and even encouraged the idea of Dreservine linnnisttp nnii rani a I groups in our midst. At last we see our mistake, and we must correct it as speedily as justice will allow. "But . we must not forget, and we must not allow alien enemies to for get, that this is a time of war. Quick processes of producing unity are justi fied by the peril of those institutions which we hold in trust for all human ity. Newsdealers. "We therefore suggest : "(a) Meetings of citizens to express ft one language sentiment. "(b) Discontinuance of all advertis ing in papers printed in the tongues of enemy nations. (c) Procuring co-operation of news-4calert,H National Security Lsaauo'o CamAlgn of AN APPEAL TO ALL PATRIOTIC WOMEN Mrs. Thomas J. Preston, Jr (Formerly Mrs. Grover Cleve land) Urges Womeft of Nation to Stand Firm. "We can win if America can be held steadfast and unswerving, and the wo men of America can bold her stead fast. Against all 'i temptations to com promise the women of America should stand firm and united," says Mrs. Thomas J. Preston., Jr. (formerly Mrs. Grover Cleveland), vin a message to the. .voiueu of America, made public through the Na- lonat security ..eiigue. Mrs. Preston is Mrs,T.J.fVeston,Jr.active in the Secur" ity League work. he was the. first woman to become a member of the League's National Ex ecutive Committee, and is secretary of the League's Committee on Patriotism Through Education. Mrs. Preston's message to the- wo men of the country reads in full: "Proclaim Liberty." "'Proclaim Liberty throughout ALL THE LAND unto all the inhabitant thereof.' "These words were written about 1490 years before Christ, as part of the Law of Holiness in, the Book ot Leviticus. Our fathers inscribed thn upon the Liberty Bell which called our mighty nation into life. "Today 'all the inhabitants' enjoy liberty, the Jew and the Gentile, the rich and thp nnnr tho nan.?, i..v ' alien-born, the weak and the strone. The oId Liberty Bell is silent, for its voice has been heard 'throughout all the land. "But Liberty is not safe. It is men aced along the battle fronts of many nations, our own among them, and America requires a new motto for her old Bell: 'Proclaim liberty through out ALL LANDS unto all the inhab itants thereof.' Until liberty Is safs in all lands, it cannot be safe In our own. Hence the task to which Amer ica has reverentlyj and unselfishly ded icated herself. ... "Make Motto Real." "Th? fathers : ei this -Republic, men of many races, with a common love of liberty, wrought into law our ancient O '"O enlighten the tvnvin motto, tnus giving liberty a chance to "Today we, their descendents, are called upon to make real th n.- motto, and thus to rive lihertv rh undisputed right to bless the wnrin "This can be done but only after heroic struggle and self-sacrifice. A premature peace would mean failure. It wouM be only less- disastrous than complete defeat. Against all tempta tions to compromise the women of America should stand firm and united. "Peace and Safety." "Victory means peace" and safety for our children; defeat means hu miliation and practical servitude for them; while a negotiated peee, with the military machine of Prussia un broken, means that everything in their lives must be subordinated to the tr.sk of preparing for another war with Germany. We can win now If Ajrqer Ica can be held steadfast and un swerving, and the women of America can hold her steadfast . ''i i tt .am
