Germany is believed to be making
preparations for the establishment
in Denmark and Sweden of large
number of branches of well-known
German factories and industrial firms
says Svenska Dagbladet. These plans,
If carried out, would be detrimental TO
neutral trade, since the countries of
the allies would be naturally suspi-
cious of all neutral firms which might
be serving German interests. The

DUTY.

There can be no doubt that the
pacitist activities Of William J. Bryan
during the past few months are some
what responsible for the attitude Of
many congressman who arc now OPP
posing the Presidents war plans.
This especially applies TO the op-
position to the raising Of an army
based on the basis of universal liabil-
ity to service.
The day after Congress declared
war Bryan wired the President that
he was at his country's call; he Of
Tered to enlist AS a private.
If Bryan is sincere in what he now
says, why doesn't he take the first
train for Washington and tell every
member of Congress with whom he
has any influence that his paramount
duty in this hour is'to "stand by the
President" irrespective of what his
own personal opinions may be?
He could render his country no
greater service than by undoing, so
far as he can, the harm that he has
done by preaching non-resistant paci-
fism.
Teddy and Taft are on the job, do
ing their bit.
Can E'ryan do less and expect pee.
pie to believe in the sincerity OF his
patriotic protestations?
