The fire gong rang at $50 Thursday
morning for fire at Northfeld. The
Martin Dickinson place on Main street,
now occupied by Paul Bulynski and
family, was the scene of the fire. The
children playing on a shed had set fire
to barrel, which caught the wood

attached. This was played on the fire

soon put out. If immediate assistance

would have been serious.

Destroy the Monster

THE hydrophobic poison OF German propa-
ganda found the l. w. w. organization a
fertile field for infection, and, from the very
nature of the doctrines the organization
espouses, its progress toward violent eruption
has been rapid.
Anarchistic in principle and constituencies
In the means employed to attain its objects,
1t has suddenly passed from the stage Of
sporadic disturbance to organized outbreaks
enveloping every center where it has a con-
siderable following. Financed in part, at
least, by German gold, it has become serious
menace to the productive activity and security
OF all industrial enterprise.
There is but one way to deal with the men
ace effectively, and that is to destroy the or
ganization root and branch by invoking every
power OF the law to suppress anarchstic and
reasonable practices and utterances. 1t is
Shiny monster that should not be allowed
to POLITE the atmosphere Of democracy with
its poisonous exhalations. Once destroyed the
aroused intelligence of the masses, voicing a
viri public opinion, may be depended upon
to thwart the further growth of disguised in
dividualstic teaching of it's nefarious doc
trines.

Embargo Effect Upon Neutra,s


A LREADY complaint is heard from certain
4 neutral nations Of Europe against ex-
pected effect upon then. OF the export en-
barge which the President has declared under
the terms of the espionage act. This is no.
tably true Of Denmark. whose newspapers
contend that rigid enforcement of our new
policy will work grave hardships upon that
country without doing any serious damage
TO Germany.
1t Is assumed that this government has no
IDEA OF iniicting gratuitous suffering upon
any neutral. whether that neutral is friendly
or indifferent TO us. Moreover, we all un-
derstand the difficult position in which such
small powers as Denmark and Holland are
placed Germany might easily crush either
OF them If provocation were given a circum-
stance which forces them to yield to such
pressure as Germany may apply to them.
But 1t is obvious that the United States
cannot longer permit Sweden Denmark and
Holland to transshp our food products to
our enemies That a great deal OF the
freight from this country bound 10 them
has found its way to Germany has becn
known to this government since the begin
ming OF the war. The only safe measure
therefore. seems to be tho restriction of ex-
ports TO such neutrals as Germany has been
able to dominate. If there is incidental suf-
fertng among those nations. il is deplora BILE

Stopping Another Leak

THE work Of the Secret Service in uncover
/ ing the intricate system of espionage In
America is designed to stop marine informa-
ton leaks that have reached Germany through
the German insurance companies. The net
work of the enemy information system is so
widespread that it will take time to destroy
1t completely, but with the strongest links being
successfully uncovered and swift punishment
dealt to the guilty agents, its value to the
enemy should steadily diminish. The Presi-
dents embargo on marine insurance by Ger
man companies will shortly stop further &C
tivities in this line.
