THEY’RE ONLY BOYS 2 read Lyon's story of the Americans going over the Seattle Men in France Appeal to Folks at Home American men who have gone overseas to halt the Huns are not worrying so much about the dangerd that face them there. But they are worrying about us who stay at home. They know what France and England are doing to guard against Hun spies. They know the dangers of a feeble spirit that delays supplies. The 18th United States cngineers, made up of men from the Pacific coast, and many from Seattle, thd regiment which Col. Cavanaugh, of Seattle, is commanding, have sent back an appeal calling upon us at home to stand firmly behind them. It was printed in their official publication, The Spiker, the February number having recently arrived here. What shall our answer be? They are even now waiting to hear how their “folks at home—in Seattle—« are responding in the Third Liberty Loan. Read their message—read it and dig energetically deep into your pockets—as they have had to dig with every ounce of their muscle and blood—digging in rain, digging in mud, digging in a hail of enemy shells, digging trenches for YOUR safety. low » in paves J. Kirkwood, secretary of the interior in the cabinets of Presi- dents Garfield and Ar- thur, while war governor of Iowa, in the year 1861, made a_ speech ..from the steps of the Capitol building, in which he said in sub- stance: FEBRUARY 1918 “‘These are troublous times and there are traitors and spies in our midst who would destroy this Union. If any man in this state is a traitor to the cause, or insults the flag, shoot him in the act, or in uttering of the word. I am the gov- ernor; your pardon awaits you.’ “What the United States needs at the pres- ent time is 48 war gov { ernors like Samuel » Kirkwood. : Pee people, we have 4 in our cos- mos. We a big thing in a big way, but fre- quently neglect the de- tails. Just now we are on the biggest job the world has ever known, apd it is up to us to get down to the materialistic and utilitarian. “We who are in France and those who are to fol- low, have no fear for the months of toil and battle that lie before us; but ‘we do want to know that the spies and traitors who are seeking to block our avenues of supplies and munitions shall not succeed. “Alien enemies should be watched and account- ed for.
