<em>Waverly Phoenix</em>: Unpatriotic and Disloyal
Anti-German Sentiment during WWI; Council of Defense measures against flag kissing or painting property yellow to denote "slackers"
<p><strong>Unpatriotic and Disloyal</strong></p>
<p>There is a provision by means of which one can call to account so-called unpatriotic or disloyal citizens. All reports of such wrongdoings should be made immediately to the county Council of Defense. This body absolutely condemns mob actions designed to hold someone accountable. We also disapprove of painting private or public buildings yellow or forced kissing of the flag, etc. Any such infractions will continue to be strictly dealt with by the county Council of Defense agency.</p>
<p>Signed</p>
<p>John Köberle, Chairman <br />J.Q. Lauer, Secretary</p>
