From The Milwaukee Journal: To

that there are men in Milwaukee who

not understand that, the United
States being at war with Germany,
Milwaukee stands and must stand
with the United States, and who do
not comprehend the simple, obvious
facts that they cannot and must not
oppose the United States by endeav-
ortng to advance by word or act the
cause and interests OF Germany.
However, the action of the postal
authorities in barring from the mails

The government talks little, but IL
works overtime and it is keenly on

are under constant scrutiny. Much
is known about them and more is
being learned. Exposure of them is

(From Die Kolonialpohtik und der
Zusammenbruch," by Parvus, Leipzig
1907.)
In the light of Russian affairs. the
prediction OF Parvus is particularly
significant today. What is also
significant is that Parvus is himself
German Socialist, whose real name
is said to be Helfond. In 1907 he
saw what his country needed, name
ly, a Sedan-which means a crush
ing defeat such as the French Empire
suffered in 1870 with the consequent
capture of the Emperor and the
downfall of his dynasty.
What is the matter with the Ger
man Socialists? Parvus, who saw
his country's need so clearly in 1907,
is today an agent of the Imperial
German government. He has been
reported as working busily in Stock
holm trying to bring about a separ-
ate peace with Russia.
The Kaiser is evidently twisting
the German Socialists about his little
finger. Those who are not at Stock

with him in most friendly fashion in

Socialists to start a revolution will
be disappointed.

"a ROWLING INJUSTICE"

Rudyard Kipling once wrote a
series of stories of boys school, un-
der the title 'Stalky g. Co..
Three precious and most plausible
young devils were the heroes Of the
yarns. They had a highly developed
faculty for evolving deviltry and
making others suffer for it, and for
thinking up ingenious excuses.
But their nemesis was the head
master. He saw through them per-
fectIy. and readily recognized the
sophistries in their arguments. After
one of their escapades he addressed
them thusly: There is not flaw in
any of your characters. And that Is
why am going to perpetrate howl
ing injustice. Your regulations have
been injured haven't they?. You have
been disgraced before the house,
haven't you? You have a peculiarly
keen regard for the honor Of your
house, haven't you? Well, now 1 am
going to lick you.
In substance, that is what Uncle
Sam is saying to the disloyal and
pro-German press Of the United
States in the censorship clause of the
trading with -the-enemy bill. He is
saying:
"You have constitutional rights,
haven't you? You are very keen for
freedom Of the press and free speech,
aren't you? You are great preachers
of democracy, aren't you? Well just
now have a little war>on my hands,
and am going to perpetrate howl
ing injustice and put you out Of bust
ness until it is over. After it is over
you can yell about your constitution
al rights all you wish"
Some injustice may be done under
the new law, but no paper that is ac-
lively loyal will be suppressed or de-
MED the use Of the mails.
Some excellent arguments can be
advanced for freedom of the press"
and rights Of free speech. Nobody
questions them in ordinary times.
Nobody doubts but that they will be
restored-unless Germany wins this
war. Meanwhile nothing is Of less
importance to loyal newspaper or a
loyal citizen than fighting for the
right to publish or talk sedition.

ARE NOT "oUITTERs".

John Burke, United States treas
urer, in his speech at the Fargo Au-
ditorium last evening, just limited at
a condition on which he well might
elaborate in his talks on the sale OF
Liberty Bonds.
It is a point that has not been en-
phasized sufficiently in Liberty Bond
campaigning and Mr.. Burke is the
one speaker who has even limited at
it. ...
''since we advanced them this
money" he said, 1.-The Allies have
been fighting better"
The Allies, when the United States
entered the war, were forced to
shift much Of the financial burden to
this country. That is true, and this
country shouldered It willingly.
But, did the Allies also slacken in
their lighting? Did they try to shift
the burden Of the actual warfare to
Americas broad shoulders? They
did not. They took another notch in
their belts and dug in twice as hard.
Nobody can ever accuse Gen. Haiga

heroic Frenchmen, or Gen. Cadorna's
gallant Italians Of being "quitters"

coming from the United States they

HYsTERIA OR WORSE.

TO ascribe the many slanderous
reports about the Red Cross to war
hysteria is the most charitable way
to view them.
They may be the result Of a
deliberate attempt to hinder the work
OF the society. At any rate they be-
came so numerous and so widespread
that the national officers were forced
to take cognizance of them, and
issue official deniaIs OF many.
It is a good rule to follow these
days, to believe no mouth to mouth
gossip OF the Red Cross. If the story
sounds plausible and reflects on the
society in any way, take it direct to
headquarters.
The work Of the Red Cross is too
valuable, too vital, to permit back
stairs gossip to cripple 1t in any
degree.

far more acute antagonisms in the
