Abstract
"The purpose of circulating it especially among Americans of German ancestry is to bring closely to their attention the real issues which now confront the nation of which they are a component part, with the hope that the example of the writer may be an inspiration to this virile, intelligent, and prosperous portion of our people, and that it may perhaps be the means of helping them to see clearly that their first duty is to be positively loyal to the country which has welcomed them with such generous hospitality and which before the Great War, for one reason or another, they preferred to the land of their ancestors. In this fateful hour when millions of America's sons are offering their lives in defense of that freedom which men and women of all races and nationalities have sought and found under the Stars and Stripes, the whole nation looks hopefully to our fellow citizens of German lineage to stand by the country which in happier days they or their ancestors chose of their own free will to be their home and their children's homeland."
