OBSTRJCTIONISTS

The position taken by Marquis Ians- downe in favor of the allies revising their war aims, is not to be regarded as being com mon to any considerable portion of English men, but is merely the view held by the old English Tory party, which is and has always been reactionary The great majority of Eng lishmen have already expressed their unalter- able determination to prosecute the war until the despOtc power of the Prusslan military rulers is completely wrecked, and the rulers themselves rendered harmless for all time to come.
 Ii the statement of the peace-seeking marquis to the effect that the ma jority O1 Germans do not desire any change in gov ernment, be true, 1t only makes 1t all the more imperative for the allies and the United States to do a good job in their Wrecking of the Prussian military machine If 1t be true that the ideals of the German people are identical with those of their rulers, then the world has the same case against the people as a race which 1t has against the kaiser and his bunch of hell-raisers and there is no hope for the Germans as a race or nation until these ideals are changed.
 Civilization is not going to be ruined by this war unless this ruin is brought about by men of the LansdOWne type, who would rather see the kaiser keep what he has been able to grab up to the present time than to put him out of business once for all time If the kaiser had won, then civilization would have been in danger of being ruined, but the last chance for this has vanished.
 How foolish 1t would be to expect that any lasting peace could be made at this time with the German government, IS shown by the speech of the new German chancellor, Count von Hortng, made Thursday before the reichstag, in which he stated that, while the government is going to make some poiti- cal reforms, the fundamental principles upon witch that government rests will remain ab- sol -tey unchanged. Which means that there

a falsifer. To adopt any such preventive methods would be similar to hunting big game with birdshot and would have about the same result
 A much better system for the patriotic soldiers, and others also, to follow would be to secure the names as suggested, but instead of placing them in the liars club and giving them publicity which would be an honor to many of them. would be to turn them over to the federal authorities, together with cvi- dence proving that they had been guilty of at tempting to injure the government. The att thorities would probably select much more effective plan of curbing the circulators of such rumors than is the proposed Ananias Club Such club is all right for fake natur- alists and others falling under the displeasure of the redoubtable "Teddy," but a pro-Gcr man would more than likely miss the point entirely
 There is no doubt that there are many such persons in the United States, and the rumors which they are circulating all have the same inspiration. As someone has re gently said: Every ant-war cloud has a German silver lining The government real izes this fully and is making a great effort to discover these coud-makerS. They are doing great deal of injury to the cause, and their works are productive of no incon- siderable delay in government plans.
 This element constitutes one of the great est menaces today to America By all means let us discover their names, but forget the Ananias stuff and give the names we get to the proper persons, who will do the rest.

will be no real reform voluntarily made by the government It Is this principle which threatens the peace of the world, and unless it is destroyed absolutely it may at some not far distant day utterly ruin all civilization.
 And 1t Is going to be destroyed and the kaiser and his ilk are going to be given nice long vacation from the ruling jobs which they have made such botch of. There is no one who can tell just when this will be aC- compIshed, but there are millions who are already taking a hand and more millions about ready to do so ill the destruction. The weight of America Is being felt more and more every day. Dispatches from France received yesterday announce the fact that there are now in the American camps in that country national guardsmen from every State in the Union. This begins to look encourag- ing, and is an indication that the American expedtionary forces must be of apprecabc size now. And these troops are only the vanguard of the Americans to come shortly. There is no way possible for kaiserism to escape the just sentence which has been passed upon 1t by civilization and democracy, and the United States will be one of the main in struments in enforcing this sentence.
 All the I.ansdoWnes, the Boshevikis, a Ioettes and l. w. w. under the sun com bincd cannot affect the ultimate result but they may be and are able to cloud the issue and obstruct the progress of the immense task which is confronting the allies and the United States.

PREPARE FOR THE NEXT LOAN

When one considers the billions of dol lars raised by the two first liberty Loan campaigns and the big war tax which Is eN- pcctcd to net the government something like S4OOOOOO,OO0. it is apt to become the lmprcs- sion that the government is in possession ot sufficient funds for the needs of the war for at least some time to come Such is far from the fact
 From figures made public by the sccre- tarv of the treasury in his Cleveland speech during the last loan campaign the govern ment will probably have to spend between S1SOO0OODOOO and S2OO0OO))0O0 It can thus be seen that there SO far has been raised only about half of what is required during thi, fiscal year.
 The United States has undertaken to do financially in the first year of war what iS far beyond what any other nation has ac- compIishcd in this war or any other Only our enormous resources make ii possible
 However the financing of the war be comes largely matter of personal saving which does not mean indiscriminatc economy, but scientific prevention Of waste and limit ed usage,
 It i, therefore wise at this time for us to begin to Iay aside for future bond issues SO mat we may continue to QO our part A third and possibly fourth loan will be forth coming before many weeks. Congress meets next week and will probably authorize more and larger bond issues.
 The greater the number of men called to arms, of course, the greater the rcsponsl- biIity that rest, upon those who remain be- hind ill their customary employment The calling 0l millions of breadWmers into the service of the government at a merely nonl- nal pay is naturally bound to have an i'm portant bearing upon our national life and cause many economics otherwise unnecessary However, part oi the drawbacks will be over come by an increase in incomes of those not in government service. The economy which is brought about must be largely voluntary upon the part of the normally employed and their dependents, Each loan added to those already iIoatcd will add to the voluntary ef- fort to economizc This has been the case in both England and France, and, while our power of production is much greater than either of these nations, this will not material ly affect the necessity for saving

ANARCHIST PLOTS

The numerous arrests being made ln the State of Washington are an indication that infamous secret organizations, most of whose membership is composed of foreigners, are seriously plotting against not only the safety of foreign rulers and governments, but against the very existence of the United States These societies must be stamped out and the plotters given the severest punish ments possible under existing laws.
 There is also reason to believe that the plotting is not confined to the section alone where the arrests were made. The member ship of this society is not limited to the State of Washington, but undoubtedly runs over a great part of the country. The arrest of those members in the northwest will probably break up the plots to assassinate rulers, in cluding our own President and stop it's other proposals but unless the entire society is crushed out of existence 1t is certain to at tempt to create other disorders and plan other crimes which may be more successfully exc cuted.
 The government has taken effective steps to curb the activities of Germans throughout the country, but the wholesale curtaiing of the liberties of citizens of friendly nations is different matter and practically impossible of accomplishment. Only those who are known to be guilty of actual crimes can be dealt with effectively
 To plot against the welfare of another and friendly nation in this country is seri- ous matter, but when the same plot calls

NOT NECESSARY

The suggestion of the national commit tee of patriotic soldiers that an Ananias Club be formed, the membership of which shall be confined to those who circulate false rumors for the purpose of hampering the United States in it's prosecution of the war seems to us to be rather ill-advised And it would certainly have but very little effect upon the class of people against whom it is directed
 A person who is so constituted that he will maliciously start or further false or mis- leading information to the injury of the coun- try, is not going to be shamed into silence by the publication of his name branding him as

 Two fires, resulting in destruction of cannery plants are now under in vesugation by government officials At one big plant two additional watchmen patroled the plant every night for weeks, and the superintend ent is positive that an attempt was to be made to burn the cannery and pack
 During the month several l. w. W.s with bad records were known to have drifted into Southeastern Alaska These men are said to have been delegated to try and secure an organi- zation in each Cannery with a view to calling a general strike during the heavy run of fish.
