Synopsis:
Excerpt from World-War Highways and by-Ways
N 0 man can be a German and an American at the same time. No man can be part German and part American. He must be either one or the other wholly and completely. Jesus Christ said, No man can serve two masters, for either he will love the one and hate the other, or he will hate the one and love the other. No man can serve Germany and the United States, for either he will love Germany and hate the United States or he will hate Germany and love the United States. The man who has a home and a living under the protecting folds of the flag of the United States, and yet, at a time when the United States is engaged in a death struggle with Germany for our national existence, Will aid Germany by thought, word or deed, is a traitor,blacker than Judas Iscariot, blacker than hell, and like Judas Iscariot should be burned in hell re.
Many years ago there was a political party in this country called the Know Nothings, whose motto was America for Americans. That should be the motto of every true and loyal American to-day. Don't misunderstand me. I do not mean for one moment that we should bar the doors of America against men of foreign birth. On the contrary, we should give the heartiest possible welcome and the gladest possi ble hand of brotherhood and good fellowship to every foreigner who comes to our shores, no matter whether he is a German, an Austrian, a Bulgarian, a Frenchman, an Irishman, an Eng lishman or what you will, provided that if that foreigner intends to reside in the United States and to get a home and a living here, he renounces, the moment his feet touch American soil, all allegiance of every kind, character and description whatsoever to any and every foreign power, and resolves, from that moment, with all the force and earnestness of his being, that from that day, until his death, he will be a true and loyal American.
