German Americans Face War Dilemma and Call for Action
A Chicago Tribune letter by Carl W. Riddick urges German Americans to support immediate war against Germany, arguing democratic ideals and survival of freedom. It contrasts pacifist defenses with necessity of decisive attack and cites historical frictions, loyalty to the United States, and a pledge to purge autocratic Germany. Also included is a local call from Lewistown Chamber of Commerce offering tractor plowing aid to farmers to address food shortages.
