as to Justify suppression. Over
Jealous officials are prone to strain
the administration of the laws and
TO include under the condemnation
of a penal statute many express
SlonS of opinion which are inno-
cent and perhaps useful attempts
to arouse opposition to the gov
ernment. If there is an organiSa-
tlon III existence which will guar
antee to every person arrested for
alleged violation of the laws con
trolling public utterance his full
le gal ri g h is, these officials
are likely to be more circumspect
IN their activities. Such an organ
ization should not be composed
exclusively or preponderantly of
people who are opposed to Ameri-
can participation in the war. 1t
can claim and should receive the
support of liberals of all degrees
of belligerency, who agree in be
lieving that the utmost practic-
able freedom of expression is nee
essary.

LET THE "SLACKERS" GO
FIRST.

There is talk of sending an
American army across the ocean
to fight at the side Of the Allies.
Whether this will eventually be
done or not is a matter for the
proper military authorities to de
eide. 1t the meantime, Col. RooSe-
welt desires to raise division of
American soldiers. to be taken
across the big pond. He believes
that his recruits could be trained
sufficiently for the rigors -- and
terrors - of the European bat
tletields within two or three
months. If our boys are to fight
for and with the Allies, the least
that could be expected of the En-
tente nationals in this country is
that they h m selves should
Join the roIorS of their countries.
The Webb bill, ought to pass TO
reach the thousands upon thou
sands of Entente aliens of mill
tary age and build in this country.

GET AFTER THE ALLIED
"SLACKERS" FIRST!
THE WEBB BILL OUGHT TO
PASS.

There is now pending in Con
gress a bill, introduced by Repre-
sentative Webb. which would
authorize recruiting by the En-
tente Allies in the United States.
Only "a few weeks ago such a pro-
crdure would have been highly
improper. and there would have
been no chance whatever Of the
acceptance of such bill by Con
greSs or by the President.
The situation has, however, ma
teraIly changed since Congress
declared state of war to exist
with the Imperial German Gov
crnment. And, by the way, il al
ways takes at least two parties
70 a war Germany has not yet
declared war against us and prob
ably II ever will. considering that
at least one uarter Of our
total population consists Of Amer.
leans German-born or of German
descendency. Germany will not
fight against It's own flesh and
blood The Webb measure is
favored by the Administration
and in some papers it is, indeed
referred to aS the " Admiuistra
tion measure ~ Whether il is an
Administration measure or not is
Of little consequence now T h {

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
PRESIDENT.

New York: - Invoking the ex-
ample of George Washington who
advised against entanglug alli-
ances with Europe, the Emergen-
cy Peace Federation has sent to
President Wilson an open letter
asking that "our government be
kept free from undertakings. cx-
press or implied, binding IN law or
honor, by specific treaty or by III
ference, which might halhpcr It's
own free, uncontrolled determine
tiOn Of when. how. or on what
terms to continue or end its part
of the war
In other words. the Federation
does not desire to see the United
States bound TO make separate
peace if il should seem desirab Bile.
The letter also asks the preSi-
dent to see that the United States
is as definite in lis expression Of
ITS own objects III the war and in
It's statement Of terms as he asked
the bclligcrcuts to be in his mes
sagc Of December Is.
If Germany is TO be brought
10 terms says the letter. may
we be permitted to ask just what
the terms are 10 which America
is thereby pledgcd?'
The letter is signed by the Fix
ecutiye committee Of the Emcr-
gency Peace Federation and by
IA number of prominent individ-
nails.

INTERNATIONAL LAW OUT
RACED.

In this greatest of all wars in
history many, if not all, prece-
dents have gone by the board. In
ternati0nal law has been not only
ignored but violated at convent
ence by all European belligerentS,
and the rights of neutrals, once
held sacred, are no longer respect
ed IN the least. SO why should
precedents be adhered to in the
matter of the Webb bill? Great
Britain, it is said, has some 100,-
600 subjects in the United States.
\ goodly proportion of these must
be available for military duty or
patriotic service Of one kind or
another. They ought to be made
to do their full duty toward their
own country
The Webb measure, while de-
signed to benefit Great Britain in
the first instance, would also en-
able other Entente countries to
gather in their sgbjetts compla-
Gently viewing the terrific strug-
gle of their brethren from the dist
ant shores of America. 1t is said,
that there are probably 100000
Russians, RumanianS, Italians,
otc., in the United States, who
ought to be in the trenches in
Europe fighting for their coun-
try. There has been no great ex-
oduS from here to those countries,
including England, when the ava
lanche Of death was looSened in
Europe. The only people of the
. Entente Allies who proved them
selves really patriotic were the
French, who cmigrated in large
numbers to offer their services to
their country There has, on the
other hand, been a very large in

for raw materials in works
producing oils, fats and fertiliz-
ers. Yet the y. Y. Sun devoted
almost a column to a cablegram
from London, which bore the
following head: Germans ship
dead to oil refineries. Bodies
sent from front to factory, where
fertilizers are made from fat. -
L. $. Consuls tell story. - Ques-
tion borne out by exultant art
icle in Berlin Lokalanzeiger = .
The article says in the intro
ductiOn:
London, April 10. - That
the Germans are Systematically
collecting the corpses of their
dead and shipping them to rem
dering plants where they are
subjected to a process of recov-
ering the oils and fats for use
as fertilizers seems inconteSt-
ably borne out by the latest in
formation.
The Sun after describing the
process Of rendering the bodies
and mentioning the Deutsche" Alb
fallyerwerthungs Gesellschaft
Rendering Co. as the owner of
the factory goes on to say:
''The London Times reproduc-
ed the foregoing account Monday,
but it was so horrible that it
seemed unbelievable. The Times
to-day presents evidence to prove
its truth, printing ph o gra-
p h i c a s m i es of a news
article in the Berlin Lokalanzei-
ger Of April 10 which referred to
the corpse exploitation estab-
lishment { (Kadaver Nerwer-
thungsanstalt). 1t says:
THE fats here are turned into
lubricating oils and everything
else is ground down in the mill,
the bones to powder, which is
used for mixing with pigs food
and as manure. Nothing can be
permitted to 90 to waste. y
Here we have the key to this
latest absurdity. TX daver'
is translated by the Times as
"corpse", while in reality it
means the body of a d e a d n
m |.
We shall not blame any paper
on this side of the ocean for print
ing such IA story, but the London
Times had at one time editors who
knew the German language and
who would never have been guilty
of insulting an intelligent public
with the supposition that allega-
tions as contained in this article
would find credence. But the
Times is Northcliffe- lied - that s

1t is claimed by the opponents
of the measure that its passage
and enactment into law would vio-
late precedents. That is perhaps
true. We have never heretofore,
says the \. Y. StaatSzeitrng, per-
mitted foreign countries to en-
gage in a recruiting campaign on
American soil, at least not tech
nically. There have been many
instances, upon the outbreak of
the great war in Europe, Of Off
GERS of foreign countries attempt
ing to recruit for the Allies among
the people of this country Thou
sands of Americans, if the report
be true, have joined the Canadian
regiments and have been fighting
with the Allies on the European
battlefieldS.
