great assistance rendered during the
week. They have certainly proven
their loyalty. and no one could have
asked or expected more from them
Captain Mott also stated that he
wanted again to bring to the atten-
ton OF the public the fact that regis
tration is no bar to enlistment in tho
marine corps. and that the period OF
service will be only during the
emergency.
The campaign ending last night was
instituted for the purpose OF securing
1000 men and bringing the marines
to war strength. While figures from
other States are not available. 1t Is
believed that this figure was exceeded.

IF MIR. Wilson sets so much value
on the entire huma race. knowing for
what aims America is waging war, he
must urge that the wan aims of her
allies be made known TO the whole
world by the publication of treaties
Only then will the world be able to
judge clearly whether the peaceable
and liberal aim which Mr.. Wilson pro-
claims is compatible with the aims of
the entente. And then the house OF
cards of Germany's autocratic intrigues
Will collapse
New Russia has declared repeatedly
that such war aims were not hers

SHOULD CoAIRAT PLUToCRACY
IN HIS OWN COCNTRl

Now in regard TO President Wilson's
hint that the war might serve to Sc
cure liberal institutions in Germany
Itself. the newspaper says:
''Mr. Wilson has enough to do in
combating plutocracy in his own coun-
try. and in taking care of the social
and political position OF the America II
worker. In dienified words the presi-
dent OF the German RcichstaE-a body
elected with the most democratic suf-
fraEe in the world--recently said that
we reserve TO ourselves the ordering
of our own affairs"
Coming TO the Presidents REMARKS
regarding the causes of the war. the
newspaper states that here again he
makes assertions foreign to him. in
order to in.lame the war passion in
Russia. Regarding the Presidents ac-
cusations about the weaving of a net
Of intrigue aimed at the peace and
freedom OF the world. the question is
asked whence Mr.. Wilson obtained this
knowledge
In the course of the past year" the
newspaper continues, MIR. Wilson re-
peatedly declared that he desired TO
mediate for peace. but could not do so
before his reelection was assured
But so long as the interests Of the
American shipping trade and so long
as Great Britain were not menaced
dangerously by the u-boat war. Pres
ldent Wilson knew nothing of the
auiocratic intrigues of Germany. whose
power must be broken in the interest
oil peace and the freedom Of the world
The treaties OF the triple alliance
and their purely defensive character
arc known to the whole world. and
when President Wilson accentuates the
Berlin-to Ba gdad plan, we submit that
he shall let his British Russian and
French allies cnlighten him regarding
these open agreements, free from
every intrigue. which we made with
Turkeys assent for the economic open
