Louis yesterday. and to read. before coming to that. some remarks by the President of the United States addressed to the two.Houset of Congress on December 7. 1915. as follows: I ain sorry to say that the gravest threats against our national peace and safety have been uttered within our own borderi. There are citizens of the United States. I blush to admit. born under other flags but welcomed under our generous naturalization laws to the fall freedom and opportunity of America. who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life. who have sought to bring the authority and good name of our Government into contempt. to destroy our industries wherever they thought it effective for their vindictive purposes to strike at them. and to debase our policies to the uses of foreign Intrigue. Their number is not great as compared with the whole number of those sturdy hosts by which our Nation has been enriched in recent generations but of virite foreign stocks. but it is great enough to have brought deep disgrace upon us and to have made It necessary that We should promptly itke use of processes of law by which we may be purged of their corrm pt distipers. America never witnessed anything like this before.
