"With the outbreak of war in 1914, many German Americans in Utah demonstrated a fervent patriotic loyalty to the land of their birth. Monetary contributions were made, a few motivated by a deep sense of duty volunteered for service in the German army, and those with friends and relatives in the homeland worried about their fate. In 1917, when the United States declared war on Germany, the sit-uation was much different as Utah’s German-American community faced both the collective and the individual question of loyalty. Did their allegiance lie with their new adopted land, or were their ties to the fatherland so strong that they demanded the highest measure of loyalty? In the super-charged era of war, neighbors, friends, and even family members were keen in looking for signs or actions of less than 0 percent Americanism. How this story played out in Utah is the subject of the following chapter.' [Editor]
