CONSPIRACY.

The charge has been made by the
New York World that the United
States is full of paid German agents
whose special purpose is to arouse
public sentiment in this country aga
INST the shipment of munitions of war
to the allies. 1t is charged that these
German secret agents did not stop
at this, but have been busy among
the labor unions in an effort to pro-
ducc strikes in factories where NUM-
lions OF war are manufacturers: have
tried to nonopoliae the output of aero
planes in this country; the manufac-
ture of automobiles, etc. The World
IN commenting upon the action of
these agents, calls it conspiracy aga
inst the United States in the follow
ing language:
Inc German propaganda in the
United States has become a political
conspiracy against the Government
and people of the United States.
Documents in possession of the World
clearly prove that there is no other
word for it.
This conspiracy is directed from
Berlin and is financed by the Ger
man Government. 1t has been organ
lzed with all the amazing thorough
ness and efficiency that Characterize
all German military activity, and il
is as much Il part of the German cam
palgn as the operations of armies in
the field.
In order to further the military
needs of the empire the German Gov
ernment is substituting sedition thro-
ughout the United States. An official
reptile press has been transplanted
In American soil to incite citizens
of the United States against their
Government. No agency of publicity
or service has been overlooked bv the
keen intelligence that instigates these
plots against the American Nation.
Outwardly, the German propaganda
is carried on by American citizens
who profess to be outraged by the
sale of Americana made munitions of
war to the allies and who pretend to
ne animated by noble Christian SEN
timent to prevent such traffic. Ac-
tuaiiy, the German propaganda is
carried on from Berlin, and its sole
purpose Is to destroy American neu-
traiity, sacrifice American interests
and annihilate American rights for
the advancement of German arms.
In view of the evidence presented
by the World, the Administration at
washington can hardly refuse longer
to take official cognizance of the alien
conspiracy against the United States.
The President and his official asso-
GATES have been patient, indeed, un-
der the fire of the said attacks. If
nothing more We're involved than
their own peace of mind or their own
political future, they might well con-
tinue to be patient: but the case is
more serious than that.
When II foreign Government con-
ducts on American soil propaganda
against the President of the United
States, against the Administration.
against the Congress, against the
American industry and American la
Dor, against the national integrity
ltself.a propaganda that jeopardizes
American relations with other coun-
tries and might in certain eventual
lties lmperil the safety of the coun-
try-the Federal authority can hard
ly remain Indifferent.

WHAT WILL BECOME OF THEM?

AS we look around us at the sur
prisingly large number of young pco-
pie in this town from 10 to Is wears
OF age, we are Il little anxious and I'M
easy as to what will become of chem
when they get little older, unless
more adequate provisions are made
here for their reception when thew
step from childhood into youth. This
Is the age of impressions that last.
and the time when character is mould
ed and fixed, and the youthful mind
cannot develop along the most aus
plcious lines without the guiding in
liuence of outside forces. We have
made great strides along lines of
material and commercial developmont
III this town, but we have overlooked
the young folks who must have other
things than good roads, big wheat and
corn crops, and larger export cat
tie trade. Apart from business. il will
be recognized that the most THRIVING
public organization of which Tazewell
boasts is the Cemetery Improvement
Association, which is as essential ms
anything else, and is doing a noble
work. but Improvement in other WAYS
should not be disregarded.
1t is not right that town so rich
M all resources, and so blessed bv
natural advantages, should be so free
from the things that conduce civic
pride and good citizenship.

AUTHENTIC WAR BOOK FOR
READERS OF This Paper
Newspapers Unite in Big Plan to Pre-
sent the Facts Of the Great Con-
Yict Now Being waged in Eu-
rope

The world, as we know it to-day, is
the result of what wars and their at,
tending causes have made it. The pres.
ent European war is the bloodiest of
them all, and will make the greatest
noise in history.
Up to the present the public, on
whom the burden of war falls, has had
only the dispatches and press news OF
what is happening across the Atlantic
These first reports are often denied or
distorted by later reports to such an ex.
tent that they cause great confusion
in the minds of our people, and wonder.
ment as to just what is authentic.
The Star-Independent has striven to
the best of its ability to give the latest
news of this great conflict as fast as
it could be gathered. But at best news
and authentic history must vary.
Ever awake to the enlightenment of
Its readers, the Star-Independent. in
connection with other large dailies,
sought diligently for the best book il
could find which would be absolutely
neutral, and setting forth the facts as
they will go down in history.
We discovered remarkably com.
plete book entitled, "The Nations at
War; by the well-known writer, Will
lis j. Abbott, author of other standard
books on international subjects. who
has acquired recognition as an un.
preiudieed historian.
This volume, just off the press, COW
ers every event which has occurred
during the first six months of the Euro.
pean war, and just as it will 60 into
official history.
This magniticently illustrated SO
volume contains several hundred pho.
tographic reproductions taken on the
scenes of action.
BY taking its quota of the entire
first edition, however. the Star-Inde.
pendent is in position to distribute
this interesting history to its readers
practically on a complimentary basis
requiring but small deposit simply
sufficient to pay the expressage, neces.
sary checking expenses and clerk hire
incidental to handling such large
proposition.
Our arrangement with the publish.
ers are such that the book can only be
had through the daily newspapers.
Every page is beautifully illustrated
showing graphically the deeds of valor
devastation of modern Europe, destruc,
tion of historic cathedrals and the dia-
bolical havoc created by the grim
clutch of war, with its billions of cost
and mighty harvest Of death. The
pictures have been taken wherever the
events occurred by the brave photog-
raphers who risked their lives in order
that the nations at peace may actually
see what the nations at war have done
in the gigantic conflict
The books are arriving in large guam
titles and the presentation will begin
this coming Wednesday. In few years
this unbiased history of the world s
greatest war will be priceless.
