As to Spies.

The amazing revelation made by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels relat-
ing to spies-information regarding
the sailing of the American destroyer
iotilla to the war zone having reach
ed German submarines four days be-
fore its arrival at Queenstown-will
prove a real shock to the nation to-
day.
1t seems almost impossible. Are
there German spies in the American
navy, or traitors employed in conf
dental positions in the big gray
building on Pennsylvania avenue
No other inference is possible from
Mr.. Daniels statement Then comes
the greater question: How can these
spies get their information to Ber-
lin? The cables and wireless sta
tions are under control Are there
secret wireless stations along the At
lantic coast? Are there high-power
plants in any of the Latin-American
countries as has been reported from
time to time?
The matter is not one for public
hysteria, but for hard, relentless in
vestigation by the Secret Service
None of the belligcrents have been
able to root out spies entirely, but
it ought to be made impossible for
Germany to gain information OF
American military and navy move
ments with such apparent ease and
dispatch as is indicated by Mr. Dan
icls.
The press of the nation has cause
for qualification in that its skirts are
entirely clear in this matter. Not a
single newspaper in the country
breathed an intimation of the sailing
of the destroyers; assuredly the Ger
man spies did not get their informa-
ton from that channel. If any news
paper had been reckless enough
perhaps it is better to say ignorant
enough, to publish a single line
about the destroyers prematurely, a
terrible responsibility would be fast
ened upon the entire press this morn
ing; responsibility which it could
not evade, and which every govern
mcnt official would say indicated the
collapse of the voluntary censorship
Undoubtedly, there arc highly
placed" spies in the service of the
American government 1t is going
to be a difficult job to catch them
red-handed; it will require an i'm
mense amount OF work on the part oi
the Secret Service. But it ought tc
be much less difficult task to keep
whatever information they assemble
from getting out of the country
Vigilance of the proper sort should
prevent that.
The publication of Rear Admiral
Sims report will have a good effect
in every editorial Office in the land.
If there be any newspaper which is
tempted now and then to evade or
ignore by indirect methods the ex-
isting voluntary censorship, the rev.
elation of today should bring it to a
sharp realization that war is not time
Ifor loose, reckless journalism.

cause of either side. 1t may be that
the British government favored one
side more than the other. But, if
our President of today can say that
we are making war not upon the
German people, but upon their gov
eminent, can not we be as generous
toward our enemies?
Furthermore. is the British gov
eminent, are the British people the
same today as in that bygone time?
Almost two generations have passed.
The British sovereign has changed
twice. The government has chang
ed innumerable times. Must we
visit upon the present generation the
sins of their fathers? Does any
Civil War veteran honestly believe
that he could find an Englshman
today who thinks that slavery ought
not to have been abolished?
Then let us admit that the Civil
War has become a dead issue-as
dead as the Revolution.
Now England wants US to help
her out" says our friend. Perhaps
she does. But that fact has abso-
lutely nothing to do with the case
1t is an argument "made in Ger
many We did not enter the war
because England or France or any
body else wanted US to.
We might have entered it for some
such reason: we might have entered
it because of the violation of Bel
GUM; we might have entered it be
cause of all sorts of abhorrent acts
on the part of Germany. But we
did not We chose to remain aloof
until Germany's crimes against our
own people had become so many and
so intolerable that we could not stay
out Of it any longer.
Yes, we are fighting Germany for
good and sufficient reasons of our
own. And, instead Of regretting
that we are helping England, we
ought to be profoundly thankful that
England is helping US.

by our strangely quiescent Govern
ment, to destroy US through dissen-
sion, perfidy, treason.
But above all else she must be
beaten because victory for Germany
would mean the triumph of brutal
barbarism over civilization, and
abandonment of the principles vital
to the life Of America-"government
Of the people, by the people, and for
the people,

American, the war of every man

NATIONAL RED CROSS
NOTES

Washington, Sept 22.-Perma
nent buildings of modern type to
supplant the tents and temporary
structures now occupied by Red
Cross base hospitals in France are
urgently needed before winter sets
IN, according to cables received from
Major Grayson M. P. Murphy, Red
Cross Commissioner to France, who
has cabled the Red Cross War Coun-
ell to ship quantities Of building
materials at once.
Increased suffering, owing espec-
tally to the shortage of coal, will re-
suit unless structures built to with
stand the cold can be erected before
the rigors Of a French winter grip
the country. The building problem
is so serious in France, owing to the
scarcity of timber, that Major Muir
ply cabled for the immediate ship
ment Of two million feet Of fir.
Giant fir trees are now being
felled on the banks of the Columbia
River in Oregon andSWashington, and
hurriedly loaded aboard ship wait
ing to carry the lumber through the
Panama Canal to New York where
two complete portable saw mills will
be taken on, as well as other build
ING material before the shin sails
for France.
The supplies requested by Major
Murphy include four concrete mix
ers, four portable crushers and port
able engines, and two gasoline trac-
tors to be used in the construction
work. These will be taken aboard
at New York. There are already
humber of expert engineers with the
Red Cross Commission to France,
who will superintend the erection of
the new hospital buildings.
The American Red Cross now has
more than a dozen base hospitals in
T--ance, each equipped with at least
five hundred beds, and each in
charge of twenty two physicians, two
dentists, sixty-five Red Cross nurses
end $50 enlisted men of the medi-
cal corps. Additional doctors and
1-rses have been sent to a number
Of the hospitals.

Conservation and the reading of
advertisements go hand in hand.
Conservative shoppers know that adj
vertised brands are the best brands
and that they may place full conf
dence in the goods that a merchant
has sufficient confidence in to ad-
vertise. Whether goods are a
bargain or not, depends on their
quality and wise shoppers know that
a merchant could not afford to ad-
vertise, goods of poor quality. BY
buying quality a saving is effected
and saving is the heart and sou, of

IS THIS OUR WAR?
What the Victory Of Germany Would
Mean . Amoriea
By Casper Whitney
Of The Vixilantes.

Professional pacifists, l. w. WIS,
and others-including some Of our
senators-of the virtual agents of
he Kaiser among US, shout in sedi-
tious speech that this war for world
freedom is not our war, that we are
but fighting the battles Of others,
that Germany had no thought to mo-
lest US, that we are outside the am
billions of Prussian militarisf or en-
tanglement with the Pan-Germanic
vision.
Not many months ago l returned
from a year Of relief work for the
G. R. B. behind the German lines in
Belgium, northern France and Po-
land, and throughout that never-to-
be-forgotten experience l heard and
saw more than enough to indicate
the potential Pan-Germanic pro
gramme of triumphant Prussia.
America will pay for this war;
such in a word was the substance of
what l heard with my own ears from
the Germans with whom one time
and another I came into contact.
Officers on the front threatened it
when an especially amiable (D hu-
NOR after some debate Of the much
belabored American ammunition

and iron. of which she had compare
lively little, to be, through ships and
guns and plate, prime factors in her
proposed adventure and the essence
of manufacturing life, of which she
had almost none-Germany set out
TO obtain the required materials on
the approved Bismarckian plan.
In 1854 she stole Schleswig-Ho
stein from little Denmark, seized a
coking coal province from distracted
Austria two years later; and in 1870
despoiled France of Alsace-Lorraine
containing the then biggest iron de-
posts in Europe.
In 1911 the world heard of the
discovery Of immense deposits of
iron in Morocco--and within a month
German warships anchored off that
coast. Later a few years came an
other notable discovery of iron in
the extensive basin Of the Brie in
north eastern France crossing into
Belgium; and in 1914 when the Hun
hosts passed over the Belgian from
tier they headed straight for Liege
and the verdun supported Brie.
TO possess in its entirety this vast
deposit is one, and perhaps the most
tenable, explanation Of the sacrifice
of thousands upon thousands of SOL
diers in the repeated and terribly ex-
pensive German endeavors to silence
Verdun.
Now we are seeing another des-
perate, costly effort by the Germans
to retain Belgium's big coal field
Lens from which the British are
slowly but surely driving them.
Thus always the struggle for the
raw materials Of ships and guns and
plate with which, won by conquest
of arms, Germany seeks to further
obey Bismarck's behest to make
war pay larger dividends than bust
ness"
