"I have five nephews in the German army," declared an Indianapolis German-American, who subscribed for $1,500 worth of Liberty loan bonds, j "and the thought that some of this , subscription of mine will be used to buy guns to be used against my own flesh and blood wrings my heart, but I love America. It is my home and my country now, and I make thi* sub| scription lioping that it may hasten I the end of this war. and for the fur- ! ther reason that i believe it is the duty of every American citizen to lend his means to the government in | this crisis.'' j The sentiment expressed by this, German-American is in itself a rebuke ; to those citizens of the United States, < born in this country, with no hypens j < in their names, some of them from! old English stock, who have refused! to interest themselves in the Liberty ] loan or the Ked Cross and whose very | indifference and almost unloyai atti-' tude toward their duty as citizens will' make it harder for America to win!
