SEVEN YEARS WAR
JUST DECLARED

Last Monday the House in Wash
ington adopted the resolution sub
hitting a prohibition amendment to
the constitution of the United States.
The resolution is the same as adopt
ed by the Senate last summer ex-
cept that it provides a maximum Of
seven years in which the state may
ratify it. When the Senate and
House dress up the resolution it
will become a law IF the President
signs it.
And, if the president signs it the
people of the country will be plung-
ed into seven years of bitter. hate
full political war between the vets
and the drys.
Some day the people may forgive
their brothers and sisters who aban-
doned reason on this liquor question
and left US the gospel of hate.

CONVICTED
OF DESTROYING
L. 5. TIMBER

SEATTLE, Dec. 19.-Thomas H.
Tracy, tried last spring and acquit-
ted of murder in the Verona battle,
was lucky in making a get away, for
he would have a long prison term al
lotted to him if he had been present
at the trial, just ended, of Thomas
Nolan, E. A. Watson and Robert
Sloan, who were found guilty by a
jury in the federal court last night
on an indictment charging them with
conspiracy for the wanton destruc-
tim of timber in the Olympic ma
tional forest reserve.
The convictions besides making
them ineligible to any office or place
of honor, profit or trust created by
the federal constitution, subjects
each of them to penalties aggregat-
ing 81 900 and maximum sentences
Of Is years.
The indictment contained two
counts, one of which was ordered
stricken by the court. Each count
charged violations of four separate
sections of the federal penal code
including first, conspiracy to injure
Cypress, intimidate citizens in the
free exercise of their rights; second
conspiracy to defraud the United
States; third, wanton destruction OF
government property; fourth, will
fully setting on fire or causing tC
be set on fire timber and under,
brush on government domain.
The evidence of government wit
nesses at the trial wa sto the effect
that after the fire was set anc
while it was in progress the defend
ants tried to induce employees of the
government to abandon their work
of preventing the spread Of the fire
intimidating them by threats if they
did not desist.

WHAT GERMANY
DID TO BELGIUM

After violating sacred treaty OBJ
legations in the beginning of this
terrible war, declaring the treaty
guaranteeing the integrity of Bel
GUM "only scrap of paper" Ger
many overran Belgium, despoiled
her country, heaped unspeagable in
dignities upon her people, inflicted
barbaric cruelties and finally carried
away large portion of her indus
trial population and subjected them
to involuntary servitude in Germany.
German officials tried by all
manner of subterfuges to shift the
responsibility for the unemployment
of Belgium's industrial population
upon England by saying England re-
fused to allow the importation into
Belgium of raw materials so that the
Belgians might be profitably en-
ployed but neglected to say that
Germany would commander this
industrial product and use it against
England and France.
Germany neglected to say that
England permitted the importation
into Belgium of food products to
prevent the starvation of that popu-
lation, only on condition that the
ministers of the United States, Hol-
land and Spain would direct the
distribution of food donated by the
United States and other neutral
nations.
But the deportation of Belgian
workmen and workwomen was the
GROWING infamy of all the Kais-
er's orgie of cruelty, brutality and
Justification in that once fair land.
Minister Brand Whitlock's report
to the state department is truth
full and startling history of the ac-
cumulated infamies of German Off
Gals in Belgium, but of the accu-
mulated testimony of men high in
the worlds affairs that disclosed by
the letters of Cardinal MERCER to
the German Governor General will
have the greatest credence and cir
culation in Europe.
After many violated promises re-
ceived from the Governor General
the Cardinal wrote the following in
conclusion of long letter of re-
proach to "his excellency:"
Deportation is slavery, and the
heaviest penalty of the penal code
after that of death. Has Belgium,
who never did you any wrong, de-
served at your hands this treatment
which cries to heaven for venge-
ance?
"Mr. Governor General, in the be-
ginning of my letter l recalled the
noble words of your excellency: I
have come into Belgium with the
mission of dressing the wounds of
your country
eff your excellency could pene-
trate into the homes of working
men, as we priests do, and hear the
lamentations of wives and mothers
whom your orders cast into mourn
ing and into dismay, you would
realize far better that the wound Of
the Belgian people is gaping.
1.-TWO years ago, we hear people
say, it was death, pillage, fires, but
it was war! Today it is no longer
war; it is cold calculation, inten-
tional destruction, the victory of
force over right, the debasement of
human personality, a cry of def
ance to humanity.
at depnds upon you, excellency, to
silence these cries of a revolted
conscience. May the good God,
whom we call upon with all the ar
dor of our soul for our oppressed
people, inspire you with the pity of
the good Samaritan"
