FRIENDS OF REPUBLIC"
Organization Formed to Seek De-
thronement of Kaiser. Il

y New York, May, 2s.-.Germans
here have formed an organization
called the Friends of the German
Republic" whose object is the de-
thronement of Emperor William and
the establishment of German re-
public, it was announced last night.
The organization, said to be nation
wide in scope, has established head
quarters and has issued an appeal
to Germans to help in its propagan-
da.
The appeal, written in English
and German, says in part:
events and developments in
Germany are clearly pointing to a
near upheaval similar to that which
was witnessed in Russia some
months ago. Travellers recently ar
rived from Germany repo"t rapid
spreading of the republican move
ment.
"Things evidently are getting very
uncomfortable for the German au-
tocracy, tho Ugh to the outside
world it attempts to show Eo!d
and unconcerned front. The Russian
leaven is working in Germany"

AMERICA AT THE FRONT.

1t is not without significance that the
first all-American units at the front in
france are made up of American nurses
and American surgeons. Six great base
hospitals now fly the Stars and Stripes, and
men whose names are famous in the annals
Of American medicine are devoting their
skill and their science to the needs of the
trave men whose bodies are shattered in
battle
The people of the United States are a
peaceful people, 1t is only slowly and
gradually that they are worked up to the
pitch Of stern anger which rs necessary
where grim war is to be waged. But we
have always been a nation that prided itself
upon its ability and its desire to succor the
needy, to bind up the wounds of those who
are hurt, to feed those who are starving.
1t is no surprise, therefore, to find that
onr little armies of mercy are at the front
doing their work of healing, long before
our bigger armies are ready for the
stormy test of battle. By and by those
bigger armies will also be in the trenches
Of France, engaged in bitter work. but
doing it with view to the larger mercy
that Of protecting the peace and the liberty
and happiness of generations yet unborn.

CROSSING THE SEAS.

American troops are in France, and
they broke a record in getting there
On May Is President Wilson gave the
order to set our flag on the firing line; in
that short space of time, then, the men
have been modified, provision for their
supplies has been made, their camp has
been prepared, they have been taken
across, not by the trickling process, but en-
masse. And the long line of transports
escaped the submarines-a miracle accom-
rlished by the efficient patrol system and
intense alertness.
The course of the vessels was frequently
changed in accordance with wireless direc-
tions; the guns were manned all the time,
and there was frequent target practice at
dummy periscopes. And as a last resort,
there were abundant boats and life RATS,
so placed as to be quickly available
Nothing was overlooked.
IN this remarkable transfer of troops on
large scale across the ocean, not a man,
not an animal was lost; there was not even
a case of serious sickness.
But America, in its pardonable pride at
the great accomplishment, sho::ld bear in
mind that its very success demonstrates
the futility of distance as a means of
national protection, and build a fleet and
adopt military policy for all time that
will save this country in case some other
nation should plan to send an invading
army to Our shores.

JULY 5, 1917.
Eighty-Ninth Day of America in the
War.
FLETCHER'S REPATRIATION
BILL.
BILL.

Fifty thousand Americans who enlisted
under the flags of Our allies forfeited their
citizenship and are, therefore, barred from
Joining the American army unless the bill,
introduced by Senator Fletcher, providing
for their repatriation, is passed.
Fifty thousand American veterans dis
tributed among half a million raw troops
would make a powerful leaven for our
army. and increase the strength of our
offensive beyond the mere numerical COM
putation.
Moreover, those Americans have been
fighting Americas battle for the past sew
craf years due to them, Our task is easier
today than it would be otherwise, and they
should be reinvested with that citizenship
which in their hearts they have never
abandoned, and for whose preservation
they have fought so valiantly. ..
With the Americans whose sympathies
led them to Join the Germans, the case is
somewhat different. While they may not
lave renowned citizenship, they have
helped make the problem of the United
States harder Intent, however, should be
taken as determining factor, and if they
asked for their discharge just as soon as it
was evident that their native land was on
the other side, they should be forgiven,
even as the prodigal son was forgiven.
But this for the future-perhaps after the
war. Senator Fletchers bill provides for
the repatriation only of Americans who
have been fighting on Our side. The bill
should pass.
