1776 PER CENT AMERICANISM

"Red Catherine" must not stay. Societies whose fervent patriotism is above question are rallying around the president of the National Security League, who has taken the leadership to expel Countess Catherine Karolyi of Hungary, one time associate of Bela Kun. None know so well as these arch-guardians of national safety by what a slim thread it hangs in these times of deceptive calm. One puff from an inflamed Bolshevik and the whole political and social structure will come tumbling about the ears of hapless multitudes in this peaceful and contented land. A stitch in time will save, not nine, but a hundred million souls from instant destruction.

In their hour of direst need, it is fortunate that a new "Marseillaise" is at hand, both music and words ready for instant use. But all things work together for good to them that serve the good cause. Printed in the November "American Mercury", thousands of copies will be broadcast. All the patriot needs do is catch the swing of the melody, and read the words over once. The spirit of it he already has. Then to enforce justice, all true patriots will march in a body to the immigration headquarters singing the new national anthem, the burden of which runs:

"I am a one hun-dred per-cent American!"

I am, God damn! I Am!"

The furor of patriotic seal which this song will inspire in the hearts of all native-born, free, white. Protestant people of the United States will make short work of "Red Catherine".
