Subtle Nature of the
Un-American Propaganda

The case illustrates the difficulties
with which the government Is con-
fronted in its efforts to suppress a
widespread and systematic propaganda
which aims to battle the nation IN war.
A court is disposed to treat each case
separately on its merits. Within the
rules Of evidence il is hard TO bring
before it the abutting facts Of a nun
dred other cases.
The individual is prone to take the
same point of view. The instance
produces a feeling Of disgust, but one
puts it aside with the comment that
such license of speech will defeat IT.
self, or, in the end, be dealt with sum.
marily by the outraged patriotism OF
the community in which it occurs. But
when one learns that the instance IS
inseparable from a nationwide body OF
propaganda, that the disloyal sentl-
ments which produce in him reaction
of disgust are being repeated daily IN
a systematic manner by newspapers,
periodicals and circulars printed In
English and in nearly all the languages
of Europe, that each twenty-four hours
tons of such literature are launched
upon the mails, and that what one sees
and reads accidentally is not the dis.
ease itself, but merely a symptom OF
it-then one begins to realize that the
ancient institution of free speech has
been occupied by the country's enemies
The propaganda is in some cases
financed by German money. 1t is
touched nearly everywhere by German
influence. The enemy without clasps
hands covertly with the enemy within.

Minister Wins Applause with
Address on Cordial Relations

BERNE, Aug. pleasant A. 5.
Stovall, the United States Minister to
Switzerland, was one of the principal
sneakers Yesterday at the opening of
new soldiers home at Solothurn. He
was the only foreign diplomat invited
TO attend the ceremonies. This was due
70 the fact that Americans have pro-
vided funds for two Swiss soldiers
homes. In an address, which was gem
erously applauded, Mr.. Stovall sketched
the cordial relations between the
limited States and Switzerland.
"As long as Mr.. Wilson has been
President and / have been Minister to
Switzerland there always have existed
the best and heartiest feelings" he
said.

extent been neutralized by economies
in the use of tonnage. Distant voy-
ages have been replaced by short voy-
ages, far fewer vessels are trading in
the Far East and many more are en-
ployed on the great Atlantic routes.
This policy, though sound in itself,
has inflicted great hardship on the
British manufacturers who make com
modities for export. The cotton trade
is a conspicuous victim of these alb
normal conditions. Our commercial in
terests have suffered also by calling
back to home waters ships that were
wont to voyage between the Pacific
ports-a lucrative trade now left to
neutrals. While these sacrifices, like
many other sacrifices necessitated by
the war, are patiently borne by our
people, it is right that the world should
be informed Of them.
"a more economical use of tonnage is
not enough. The depredations of the
U-boats must be stopped. For this we
confidently look 70 the navy, whose
anti-submarine devices are steadily i'm
proving. As for The lost tonnage, it
must be made good by an energetic
shipbuilding policy such as that Sir
Joseph Maclay has now in hand.
