Every German or Austrian
in the United States, unless
known by years of association
to be absolutely loyal, should
be treated as a potential spy.
Be on the alert. Keep your
eyes and ears open. Take noth-

alertness may save the life of
your son. your husband or your
brother.
The enemy is engaged in
making war in this country,
in transmitting news to Berlin
and in spreading peace propa-
ganda as well as lies about the
condition and morale of Amer-
ican military forces.
Whenever any suspicious act
or disloyal word comes to your
notice communicate at once
with the police department or
with the Federal department
of justice.

the road of sorrow that binds our

who have gone away come home and
see our beautiful city in its brightest
