“ Huns Kill Women and Children!”
The “Little Soldier”
World War I American “Anthem”
Johnnie get your gun, get your gun,    get your gun, Take it on the run, on the run, on    the run, Hear them calling you and me, Every son of liberty. Hurry right away, no delay, go    today, Make your daddy glad to have had    such a lad, Tell your sweetheart not to pine, To be proud her boy's in line.
Over there, over there Send the word, send the word over    there That the Yanks are coming, the    Yanks are coming, The drums rum-tumming everywhere So prepare, say a prayer Send the word, send the word to    beware We'll be over, we're coming over, And we won't come back till it's    over, over there!
Johnnie get your gun, get your gun,    get your gun, Johnnie show the Hun you're a son    of a gun, Hoist the flag and let her fly, Yankee Doodle do or die. Pack your little kit, show your grit,    do your bit, Yankees to the ranks from the towns    and the tanks, Make your momma proud of you  And the old Red  White  and  Blue .

Attacks on Civil Liberties
Government Excess & Threats to the Civil Liberties of Americans 1.  Espionage Act   – 1917   - forbade actions that    obstructed recruitment or    efforts to promote    insubordination in the military.   - ordered the Postmaster General   to remove Leftist materials    from the mail.   - fines of up to $10,000 and/or   up to 20 years in prison.
Government Excess & Threats  to the Civil Liberties of Americans 2.   Sedition Act   – 1918   - it was a crime to speak against the    purchase of war bonds or  willfully   utter, print, write or publish any   disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or   abusive language   about this form of US   Govt., the US Constitution, or the US   armed forces or to  willfully urge, incite,   or advocate any curtailment of    production  of things  necessary or    essential to the prosecution of the   war…with intent of such curtailment to   cripple or hinder, the US in the   prosecution of the war.
Government Excess & Threats  to the Civil Liberties of Americans 3.   Schenck v. US   – 1919   - in ordinary times the mailing of the   leaflets would have been protected by the   1 st  Amendment.   - BUT, every act of speech must be judged   acc. to the circumstances in which it was   spoken.   - The most stringent protection of free   speech would not protect a man in falsely   shouting fire in a theater and causing a   panic.   [Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes]   - If an act of speech posed a  clear and     present danger , then Congress had    the power to restrain such speech.
Government Excess & Threats  to the Civil Liberties of Americans 4.   Abrams v. US   – 1919   - majority ruling --> cited Holmes’   “Clear and present danger” doctrine.   - Holmes & Brandeis dissented:   The best test of truth is the   power of the thought to get    itself accepted in the competition   of the market, denying that a   “silly leaflet” published by an   “unknown man” constituted such a   danger.
