REACHES CONGRESS.

Camouhagc has reached congress.
The disloyalists in that body-the fell
lows with large German constituent
cies, who consider their own re-elec-
ton more important than the blood
of American boys, they are sending
to their doom by encouraging the
prussian military-have been throw.
ing over lot of smoke boxes to hide
themselves.
That is why we have heard SO much
of Congressman Heflin and SO little of
the actual disloyalty Of certain con-
gressmen, disconnected by the Bern
storff disclosure.
The revelation of the Bernstorff
slush fund was a body blow to some
of these pretenders.
1t showed that, whether they were
connected with it or not, the German
government was doing the same thing
they were at the time Of the break
in diplomatic relations.
The German government was spend
ing money to get the very kind of
service they were rendering. Of
course, it was hardly probable Bern
storif resorted to crude bribery
something which has long passed out
of politics, except in it's most back
ward stages.
They were in an awful stew when
Henin unwittingly came to their res
cue by making some enthusiastically
indiscreet remarks, which might be
twisted to mean charges Of direct
bribery against anti-American con.
gressmen. This was the loophole for
the embarrassed copperheads. lmme.
diately they started an uproar to dis.
tract attention from the real issue
their disloyalty and services to the
German government. They demanded
an investigation--not of disloyal activ.
tiles in congress, but of loyal Heflin
and his indiscreet remarks. Their
plan was, OF course, to get a report
proving that there was no evidence
to support charges of bribery-and
consuming Heflin.
This outcome would be victory for
them over a straw man, and they
could proclaim that they had been
indicated, although the REAL

This, mas n6wtbsont Acknowledgements
alldressaGhancenor Michaelis made to
the main committee of the German
reichstag. Whether he meant to or
not, he has by that speech completely
taken off the mask behind which sim
lister German designs were being
cloaked. Said Michaelis, in an out
burst of candor unusual in Prussian
junker:
ANY such public statement of our
peace terms at the present time would
only injure German interests. We
should not come step nearer peace,
but it would contribute certainly to
d prolongation of the war"
Now what does this near? / 1t can
mean only one thing, that the Teu.
tons are bending every effort to en-.
trap the allies into a peace armistice
which would give Germany and Aus.
tria necessary breathing time.
They talk of peace. They hint of
liberal conditions, but all the time
they know they are lying 1t is the
plain lie told by the common thief.
The kaisers want to get away with
their loot. They want to escape pay
ing for the ruin they have wrought.
They want to escape the penalty of
their crimes against civilization.
That is why Michaelis for once in
his life tells the truth. The German
terms, If stated openly and honestly,
would not conduce to peace, but to q
grimmer determination upon the part
of the civilized world to- wage war to
the bitter end, cost what it may. The
German terms would probably be
those exacted by cOnqueror, that
would further shock a world already
shocked SO often by German ruthless.
ness.
Civilization owes a vote of thanks
however, to Michaelis for his plain
words. The warning was needed in
some quarters. 1t is to be commend
cd to the attention of all the lily.liv-
cred pacifists, the prc-German social
lists and all the other nefarious cliques
that have busted themselves in this
country trying to pull chestnuts out
of the fire for the dear kaiser.
