THE SEATTLE STAR—THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1919 NDER WHICH FLAG? The general strike is at hand. And more, a general SHOWDOWN is at fand---a showdown for all of us---a test of Americanism--a test of OUR Americanism. As The Star stated yesterday, this is no time to mince words. A part of our com- nunity is, in fact, defying our government, and is, in fact, contemplating changing that ‘tovernment, and not by American methods. This small part of our city talks plainly f “taking over things,” of “resuming under our management.” We call this thing that is upon us a general strike, but it is more than that. It is to an acid test of American citizenship—an acid test of all those principles for which yur soldiers have fought and died. It is to determine whether this is a country worth iving in and a country worth dying for. The challenge is right up to you—men and vyomen of Seattle. Under which flag do you stand? } if Se ee | oan ‘Home With the Yanks! | “Editor's Mail] Shall There Be a “League” jmercownrn« Of Nations? U. S.
