In Knit the National Germun-Amerl-
enn alliance was formed In the Ilnited
States. In 1007 it was incorporated
by act of congress. Its charter is
now being attacked in that same body.
One of the objects of the alliance, as
oflieiiilly announced, was ‘to check na-
tlvlstic encroachments.” In other
words, to keep the Germans from be-
coming Americans. Another object
was "to awaken and strengthen the
sense of unity among the people oi
German origin in America.”
■'Tills niiLanoe,” its preliminary
statement of aims concludes, “la
pledged to bring Us cntlro organiza-
tion to the support of any state felt,
enitlon whlrh is engaged in the strug*
gle for any of these objects.”
II was pledged, in other words, t9
have Its members vote, not as Individ-
unis, huf as German contrnllcfl units,

they did not approve.
The desire for resisting “nntivlivtlft

STATE OF OKLAHOMA
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
A hundred and forty-two years after the |>. duration
wi Independence, our country is facing, with other' civil -
u‘ n nations, a colossal task, that of dcmonstiat'ing that
the peoples of the earth, wilout demands ion conquest
can resolve themselves into a unified farce and p„ur out
unni uduintfly the blood of rich and poor alike, from evi/y
l ace, for the great ideal of right and justice. , , '
America is perfoamintt well its part. Today her soli*
are standing shoulder to shoulder on the battle front of
Europe with her allies. At home, side by side, every pat-
riotic person is working to sustain them.
it is therefore peculiarly tiuiny at this time that a!
should take jntrl m Hi, F.umJ, of July observance'' fit - the
anniversary <d tie l.dr'hol out country. It will be an oc-
cassion win*, the f oi a i,,oi Jiorri will have special opporluh-

and n, which ih,y l.,veeKci,d to have U, sons and

This Fourth of July should not be characterized by
hilarity or waste, but by patriotic rejoicing in which those
of foreign birth should delight to take part with our na-
tive born citizens.
County,' city, town and community flags should be un-
furled, the llags of our allies being given place of honor
-side our own
The observance of this day should serve to "cement
closer the peoples of this State and Nation and to make
more firm our resolve to seek peace only in victory.
