A wartime missive from Wilhelm asks for prompt action and loyalty. The letter pleads for immediate military support, notes repeated prayers for guidance, and chafes at delays in sending orders. It ends with a beckoning call to respond, signed Wilhelm and routed through the Kaiser’s Office.
The piece argues for maintaining confidence as essential to happiness and success, warns against gossip and disloyalty, and notes wartime issues such as conscription, Canadian training camps, and public opinion. It references Iowa politics, taxation, farming needs, and local figures, urging balanced policy and support for government actions.
Endorsements for C C Pugh as candidate for secretary of state come from Perry Tribune and Dexter Sentinel letters noting his Dallas county birth and long state affairs work. Reports say officials find his candidacy acceptable and his Old Settlers picnic address won new supporters.
A public appeal urges vigilance without bias as war rages abroad. Citizens are urged to resist labeling neighbors of alien blood as enemies, warning that widespread suspicion harms national life and that government should pursue spies and traitors.
