Seemingly they forget their duty to their fellowman the attain- ment of selfish ends without regard to the common weal is the policy they pursue. It is foolhardy to stir up feeling be- tween the workmen and the capital - ists. Both are necessary in the hie of the Republic. Each furnishes the other the means of livlihood and guar antees the production for which the world cries. Capital is the incentive of tndeavor. Strikes throw the entire production field in arears. They are the workings of unscrupulous reds and radicals who would demand more if Heaven was served on a silver platter and if refused would then order a strike. This policy is suicidal.

Fourth We believe that in the hour of danger the Constitution and the flag demand the loyal service, and, if I need be, the life of every citizen of Ithese United States, and that the man, who, in such an hour, withholds either . . - . and no true son of America. Fifth We believe that the danger to a nation and its principles is great er and more insidious today than at any hour during the active hostilities of the recent past. Sixth We believe that this danger arises from several sources, namely: (a) German propaganda which is ever with us, albeit under a new guise , . each day; (b) Appeals to racial-prejudice in 'political effort, which we unqualified 5 , . . , A, ly condemn as un-American and there fore dangerous: (c) Socialism, whether radical oi ' (d) The presence of millions of il literate foreigners, incapable of com- 'Socialistic principles are, disseminated; (e) Weak-kneed or conscienceless i politicians, wno sKiuiuny rename j from offending the trators amongst us J during the war and are now striving jwith might and main to gather the J practical fruit of their treasonable ! i i'niV-n e : .1 'cowardice; (f) Citizens of any class who put party before principles, or prejudice ahead of the weal of the country. Seventh We believe that the salva tion of the nation demands that Amer ica shall be Americanized, letting the process hurt whom it may. Eighth To this end, we believe that; certain radical steps of re-construction must be immediately adopted: (a) Resident aliens of all nationali ties who are incapaole of appreciating the blessings of our institutions must be deported; (b) Foreign-born citizens who have proven their unfitness .for citizenship . ... T - Ninth We believe mat ueiuwu propaganda must be destroyed, and witH it all of the spawn which it has 1, revolution: pussy- is the one and only constitutional means by which Americans can secure needed changes of governmental poli cy and purpose and that the honest and intelligent use of the ballot in placing V. f.r.siuon of responsibility ".nly loyal. Americans, without refer ence to anrrstrj will effectually safe guard our inherited rightsX Eleventh We, believe that all at tempts at coercion in the control of the Legislative, executive or judicial departments of the Government are un-American, treasonable and preg nant with unspeakable danger to the nation. Twelfth We believe that the hour has come when every loyal American who values his inheritance of liberty and loves the flag of his land must put country first, and, forgetting other, af filiations, join hands with every loyal citizen to free America from its pres ent peril. Then, God helping us, all else for got, we pledge our hands, our hearts, our lives, our services to America first and America forever. By the Citizen's Patriotic League of Covington, Ky. Ministers To Pre- j sent Appeal Sund'yl i ! Every pastor in Warren and all Sunday School Supterintendents are asked to present the appeal of the Greatest Mother in the world on Red Cross Sunday, November 2nd, 1919,' for second only to the Message of i Love that is the heart of the Gospel, ' is the message of Mercy that is the soul of the Red Cross. j It was natural that like should call to. like, and during the stern days of our part in the Great War, the Church rendered an incalcuable service to the Red Cross. 'Its equipment; its organ ization; its buildings; its trained per sonnel, used to service and sacrifice, were, gladly and freely contributed. Religion and patriotism blended in the great resultant of loyal devotion and consecrated labor. " The result was a modern miracle. More than Twenty Million Members enrolled in the Red Cross more than Four Hundred Million Dollars were given for Red Cross work more than Eiirht Million loyal women and girls ? by consecrated labor produced supplies valued at more than Nvnety Million ; Dollars while thousands of men and women enlisted as active workers for the Red Cross, both at I ome and with our men overseas. Of Red Cross accomplishment dur ing the months of the war, history shall tell. The time has come no to face new duties and to undertake new tasks. THE COLLEENS. The songs of .

That this worker may be procured thru the co-operation of the public spirited peo ple of Warren working under the ban ner of the Red Cross is a truth which the public is expected to grasp in tne November 2-llth drive.
