Jacob swoboda who was arrested
II weeks ago by the authorities OF
Salem county. n. j., charged with be-
ing spy and also with the larceny
OF goods from the e. ]. dupont de
Nemours and Company, was released
this morning. Only the latter charge
was pressed in court, and when the
defendant pleaded not guilty Prose

SwobOda, who was known as Louis
Hartley. Louis Herman, Savolda. DR..
Jacob Swoboda and Louis Halbert,
was arrested because of alleged sus-
picious actions at Pennsgrove and be-
cause he refused to be photographed
on the powder cOmpany's order the
same as the other $4,000 workmen.
The authorities hunted up his record
and. It is said, found that several
years had been spent in prison.
The defendant, in an eight-page let
ter to the court and Prosecutor Sum-
merrill laid bare his entire record, but
denied being a spy or traitor or steal
J ing from the DUPONT Company. He
said he was grieved to think that he,
"a veteran soldier, with an honorable
discharge. a corporal of the Forty-sev-

Why Washington Is Proud.

The response of the young men of the Dis
trict of Columbia to the call of the President
for troops sets inspiring example of patriot
ism. Not only will the Capital furnish than
its share OF soldiers but if it is represented by
regiment either the border or in Mexico it
will have the satisfaction of knowing that in
everything that goes to make the soldier its
any State in the Union.
The people of the District have every reason
to be proud of the militia regiment that is now
almost ready for the order to go to the front,
but happily their pride is not of the kind that
begins and ends with boasting As the men
in uniform have done and will do their duty so
the people who to stay at hca:> are doing
and will continue to do theirs. Practically all
the employers of men who belong to the Guard
have announced their intention of keeping their
positions open for them and of continuing their
pay during their absence. In a number of cases
this involves considerable financial sacrifice, but
ii is cheerfully and gladly made. Besides, prepa-
rations already are being made by civic and
aid to those dependent on soldiers whose in
comes, for various reasons, must be suspended
or curailed. All Washington is doing its bit"
If a District regiment is to go to war it will
go in spirit no more splendid than it will leave
behind. 1t is winning spirit the old spirit that
made America great and long after our trouble
with Mexico is ended it will still be with US.

What they claimed was not. indeed,
yet theirs in fact A sullen dismay and
discomfort had come upon the men who
served with Aguinaldo outside the
American lines at Manila. and who did
not clearly know whether they were allies
or subjects
They had not taken up arms. they said,
merely to make the Americans their mas
ters instead OF the Spaniards but to
make themselves free, and had deemed
the Americans their allies in that un-
dertaking. The American commanders
had made them no promises. but they
had seemed tecitly to accord them the
place of allies, and their own hopes had
drawn the inference.
When they found that those hopes were
to be denied them they took their cause
into their own hands and set up the gov

plan and play their game Of competition,
the market to which diplomacy, and il

The United States could not easily have

An Inevitable Verdict.

Sir Roger Easement was defenseless against
the charge of high treason At the moment it
was determined to try him upon the charge his
conviction was certain. The effort of his attor-
neys could only be perfunctory, since his guilt
was established beyond question. They had to
make some plea, and must have been fully con-
WINGED that the himsy one they adopted would
fail.
This sadly deluded man never had chance
for life except in madhouse, and that proba-
bly, would have been the fate selected for him
but for the defiant attitude and misdrected
efforts of friends of the cause his rash ex-
plot was supposed to represent. They made it
