SAY GOD TOLD THEM
 TO BURN FINE HOUSE

Saskatoon, April 14-Charged wth setting fire to the $15,OOO noma of Peter Yerigin, near the village of Otradnoe, during g ma ked pilgrimage" last July, five DcukhohWs, arrested by the Pro yincia, police, have been committed for trial at KamsaCk.
 Paul Shrypnich, w.. Rezanoff, S. Kalesuekoff, A. MabhortOff and P. YcTkin insisted that God had tod them to destroy the house.
 Yerigin told the court that when he heard of the crime he drove out to his farm and found eleven men, ten women, two girls and eigh chil- dren, all naked, standing around the cOnflagration. One man had trld him that God had ordered them to fire the building, and that they were going to burn down all the rich residences"

the point of winning one of the greatest victories of the war-great- CT perhaps than any we shall win at arms-in @ complete rejuvena- ton of true Americanism.' Denied by iIl-health the blessed privilege of giving his service to his country he, like countless thousands sim ilarly debarred, sees in g reborn AmeriCanism a sturdier nation and a stronger people.
 He says:
 Grass commercialism, love of ease, false ideals of peace, have dragged us far from our ancient moortngs. We are rising at last to that moral elevation which enables men, as it did the heroic MarsSil- lais of old, to know how to die when great principles are at stake. We arc beginning to realize that there may be worse things than war, and things far better than q craven peace"
 Infinitely worse than war Is a craven peace and infinitely beaYier the cost. Where war stays it's thousands, peace, [ at the price of icrass commerciaIism. love of eace' and false ideals" slays it's tens of thousands. The adage holds true in this day and generation as when first enunciated by the ancient philosopher.
 America, reborn, and animated oy the spirit that made it free and builded a nation, enters the war to fight for an ennObling peace, not founded upon sordid, slothfuI conditions of wealth and ease, but upon liberty and justice and right And in the reiuyenated Americanisu already in evidence the greatest victory of the war is at once In sight.-SeattIe P. l.

WHAT Is TREASON?

There is a general impression, ey- GU among lawyers, that the closely restricted definition of treason giY- en by the constitution of the Unit ea states, with Limitations far be- yOud those imposed by the laws of any other modern nation, makes prosecutions and convictions for tha crime almost impossible. A re- cent resume of some decisions ot the supreme cOure of the united states and other federal courts pub Iished in the Los Angeles Times, however, shows that convictions for treason are easily 10 be had when the facts justify tho charge.
 The language of the constitution is tna! treason against the United states shall consist only in Ieyying war against them, or in adhering tc their enemies, giving them aid u4d comfort
 En the case Of Carlisle ys. U. s. ,I6 Wallace, 147) the supreme count held that alien who is domi- ciled within country owes tem- porary allegiance to the govern ment, which is co-extensiye with his residence under the protection Of the government" It has been further decided that contamination Of intelligence to tie enemy by letter, telegraph Uc otherwise, re Iating to the strength, movements or position Of the army and navy, is treason, and in U. s. ys. Mitchell t2 Dau.., 357J that this constitutes treason even when the letters have been intercepted and do not reach the enemy.
 Aid and comfort to the enemy has been construed to cover the giving Of advice to an enemy, or adVanc- ing money or credit. Probably the otfenses which have recently been committed in the United States by resident aliens, such as blowing up munitions factories and the placing of bombs on vessels destined to British ports, while merely offens- es against the civil law during times Of peace would constitute overt acts of treason if committed now, while a state of war actually exists.
 It may be interesting to know that the offense of misprisiOn of treason occurs whenever one has actual knowledge of the com mission of treason and neglects 10 lay the informatiOR before the proper authorities. Our treason laws need no enlargement, but merely rigid enforcement. Seattle P L ....

A little deal in junk has netted Spokane enough money to more than pay the salary of it's mayor for a year. says the Spokane Chronicle.

The price - S21..5O a ton is considerably more than the steel cost when 1t went into the bridge.
