The children of the crucible
Click on image to zoom in
Theodore Roosevelt argues that Americans must renounce their allegiance to the “lands from which they or their forefathers came,” especially German Americans. He wants a prohibition against German language publications and views pacifists as traitors. Loyal Americans will serve against Germany and Roosevelt suggests that they serve in an organization such as The Vigilantes, who are conducting a pro-America campaign.
