THE l. W. W.

President Wilson has said that We
we're At war to make the world safe
for democracy. This is doubtless
true.
But 1t 10 none the less true that
the war puts democracy to real
trial. . test Of its efficiency a. a
means whereby people may be gov
erned. whsthsr the rights Of the
whole people a. . mass can be safe
y carried through such . storm -
now sngulfs the world. remains to
be proven. Therein Ii democracy's
test.
II u not an easy matter for Of
Asials having the affairs Of a great
republic in hand during these Try
ing days, to decide Just where lies
the proper line between safeguard
ing the rights Of the individual to
tree speech and personal liberty and
protecting the public against the
agitation OF trouble makers. Pa
tience with these misguided men can
easily cease to be a virtue, when the
rights OF the great public are
trampled under foot and the ef-
hciency of the nation in its great bus
mess of war making, is threatened.
The ideals on which American
democracy is founded must be pre-
served. Temporary expediency
must not be allowed to quench the
fires Of idealism, II democracy Of q
kind that should persist and be ex-
tended in the world. is to be saved.
But on the other hand. the 100.-
100000 people Of this country are
engaged in a serious business. It IA
task which requires the co-ordin-
ated effort OF the entire citizenship
II is a work, the success OF which in
wolves the safety OF our national ex.
istence. Success must be won.
In such a situation, there can be nc
doubt but that vigorous measures
are warranted In handling the wide
spread labor agitation and strike
situations. The president would be
entirely Justified In declaring mar
tial law in such sections as Butte and
Globe. where immense copper mines
are turning out one OF the necessities
Of war. The disputes could be re
ferred to honestly formed tribunals
for settlement, but the fact thai
there is a difference Of opinion OF
wage scales should not allow the ma
tional war-making machinery to be
come dis-arranged.
One Of the most hopeful signs II
the whole situation is the vigorou,
reputation Of the l. w. W. propo
ganda by the American Federation
OF Labor.

TO ROUND UP THE
 GERMANS NOW IN
 ALASKA TERRITORY

SEWARD, Alaska. July 23.-By Mail. )-The coast guard cutter Un- alga is about to start tour of West ern Alaska canneries to secure the names of all persons eligible under the military draft. Referring to re- ports brought from the westward on the Santa Anna, that there are large number of German machin- ists working in western canneries who are very outspoken in favor of Germany, Captain Dodge said
 "We are working under orders which cannot be mistaken, and we will not miss anyone. If any Ger mans refuse to register, we will bring them back under guard"
 Before sailing from Seward, Cap. tain Dodge had an extended inter- view with the marine insurance in spectors who had been to the west ward examining wrecks of the can nery ships St Francis, St. Katherine and Standard, and who were aware Fof combinations ain tho canferfes while it was known that short run of red salmon is possibility. Other causes for the extremely small pack of some canneries will be in yestigated

Lloyd George States That Diminution of Losses From Subs Due to

HIS OPINION OF RUSSIA
England Now Has Infinite Resources to Support
 HerSelf-Nation is
 at Work for State

PARIS, Aug. 1. - David Lloyd George, the British Premier, gave a breakfast to a number of editors of important French newspapers dur ing which he conversed fully with them on the military situation and replied to questions.
 The Temps gives summary of his talk.
 MT Lloyd George said that Great Britain now had between 5,0OO,0 ,00O and 5,500,000 soldiers enrolled Without counting between 100000 and 800, 900 belonging to the navy and nearly a million men from the dominions and colonies.
 Great Britain has placed at the disposition of her allies, he added, from 100000 to 2000,000 tons of merchant ships. Next years building program for merchant ships, which already h8s begun, amounts to 4,000,- 900 tons, or twice as much as in a good year during peace times Al luding to the campaign against sub marines, Mir Lloyd George said
 The diminution in shipping losses Is incontestable. It is impossible to abandon the subject without saying homage to the aid given by the Amer ican navy, both regarding the organ ization of conveys and by torpedo destroyers. which have rendered an invaluable service"
 Continuing MT Lloyd George said that 5,000,000 men and women now were engaged in war work in the United Kingdom. More women could be employed if the trades unions did not fear the competition of wom. en after the war. but other coun-

The Baffled
Detective
Freak of Fortune Brought
Success In Face of Defeat
By WILKINS MAGOWN

Returning to my car as the train
across the aisle, apparently a well
dressed, gray haired and bearded man.
his wife and their daughter the latter
SO lovely that l stared at her until my
persistency provoked a keen, fierce
glance from her father, whereupon |
withdrew my gaze, and he resumed his
newspaper. Immediately the girl across
the aisle glanced around, and l inter-
cepted a flash from a pair of dark eyes
instinct with what seemed like fear or
entreaty.
But not even the beauty of my fair
vis-a-vis could successfully divert my
mind from the painful theme upon
which it was dwelling with a con-
scio1sness of humiliat1ng failure.
The cashier and confidential man of
a large business house had absconded
with half million dollars in cash and
negotiable securities, and simultane-
ously the only daughter of the firms
senior member had eloped with a
worthless stitor.
My firm was not professionally inter-
ested in this branch of the case. We
were to trace the abscOnding cashier,
described as twenty-seven years of age,
tall, slender and dudish. heavy black
mustache, smooth shaven cheeks, while
certain memoranda evidently forgotten
and discovered in a secret cOmpart-
ment of his desk seemed to render the
task of overtaking him matter OF lit
tie time and ordinary skill.
My assignment on the case was d
high compliment, and | had been san
guine of success. But most of the
clews | followed ended in a 'pOcket,'
my carefully formulated theories and
hypothesis proved fruitless, and while
debating as to what l should do next
I received peremptory telegram di-
recting my immediate return to head
quarters.
While Illuminating thus l fell to
drumming with my fingers on the arm
of the seat. Instantly the girl across
the aisle looked up, darling a keen, in
quiring glance at me. Her lips moved
as though repeating some formula, and
as I kept on drumming her excitement
visibly increased. Just then her ia
Their, looking up from his paper, frown-
ed at her and, glancing over at me,
tapped his forehead, waving his other
hand toward the girl.
For awhile 1 kept up my drumming
and while the girl did not appear to
notice me l could see that she was
listening intently; her lips moved, and
