Then, quoting passages from President's denunciation of the loyalty of naturalized citizens, editorial contends, that they are proof that the Entente Allies are fighting indirectly for the United States. "What," says the editorial, "stands between America and 'crea- tures of passion, disloyalty and an- archy' in their armed millions but the British fleet? For unless Ame- | rica is prepared to renounce what | President Wilson calls 'a common cause of national independence and of political liberty,' she is the next objective of German ambition, which goes unsiacked as long as there re- mains one independent and free na- tion."
