PRO-GERMANS, ALIENS AND AMERICANS ARE GIVEN A WARNING
A warning to pro-Germans, aliens and Americans was
riven at the Liberty Theatre last night by United States
District Attorney William A. Munly. Pro-Germans were
told to keep their mouth shut during the period ol the war.
Aliens were also told that they must obey the laws of this
country. Both pro-Germans and Aliens, who have fatten
•>d at the national crib for years; who have had every ad
vantage of a free land, must now abide by the laws of the
United States. Mob vengeance will not be tolerated but
the United States will deal more severely with those who
commit infractions than will a mob. Tolerance of the
American government and the people will only last so
nfr and the time has now come when tolerance has vir
tually ceased. Americans were also warned that they
1 must give plentifully so that the war may continue to a
victorious end. District Attorney Munly spoke for nearly
half an hour and frequently his remarks, pointed, patriot
ic, were roundly applauded by the large audience. The
speech was the best that has been delivered in Sward and
every word was spoken with a thrust that should have
found its mark.
