THEY ARE STILL MAKING ROPE

The Salmon Herald expresses it
self in the following vigorous terms
regarding the lynching of an I. w. W.
agitator in Butte:
I'm such period of unrest as
prevails in this country today, sever
al distinct suits of anarchy are rec
ognized. and among these no more
noisesome one exists than the het-
rogeneous mass of hoi polloi called
the Industrial Workers OF the World.
They denounce the government, and
the army, and all law. as we'll as the
it; yet, whenever one of this brand
of blatherskites becomes involved in
trouble he Immediately appeals to the
law which he despises. and by it's
numerous loopholes, by habeus cor
pus, or by legal trickery. he secures
his release. only to go on in his chos-
en- mission of raising social sheol.
Members of he 1. w. w. seem to
see nothing inconsistent in the fact
that at Bisbee their leaders said, We
are not ready yet to fight the United
States army" and a few days later
at Columbus: 1--WE will not return to
Bisbee except under the protection
of the United States soldiers" These
are the same soldiers that Haywood's
hell-hounds have been calling uni
formed scabs.
The intellects OF l. W W leaders
are nothing to boast of; and the rag
tag and bbotail of the procession
is too ignorant and unreasoning for
contemplation; however that
does not make them any the less dan
gerous in this time of national stress.
They are enemies of the country and
should be dealt with as such. The
arrogant calling down which Hay
wood administered to President VIII
son last week should not go unnot-

Temporary Field HEADQUARTERS
American Punitive Expedition, Ojo
Federico, chihuahua, Feb. /, (by
Aeroplane to Columbus, N. M.)-The
punitive expedition today entered on
the last lap Of its withdrawal from
Mexico. When it recrosses the bor-
der line on February 5, there will
have passed 327 days since the first
troops left the United States in pur-
suit of Francisco villa.
Surprising in interest the secrecy
that has cloaked the troop move
ments, has beer the exodus of Mex
leans along the American line Of
communications. On foot, in rick
ETY. wagons, on burros, and scrawny
ponies, they are preceding and
thanking the long columns of march
ing troops Figures compiled before
the evacuation of Colonia Dublan,
until recently the permanent field
headquarters of the expedition, show
that nearly 1900 MeXicans and 500
Chinese most of the latter having
been employed by the troops had
packed their scanty belongings and
taken advantage of the American
offer of protection to migrate to the
border.
When the last stragglers, which the
rear guard of cavalry is urging for
ward, arrive at the border and are
taken in charge by the immigration
authorities, 1t Is estimated by the
army intelligence department that
there will be 5000 Mexicans and 500
Chinese to be cared for by the United
States. This compilation docs not
include the hundreds who have fled
to Juarez by rail over the Mexico
Northwestern.
ut is an exceedingly sad com
mentary on conditions in Mexico"
said Maj. Gen. j. j. Pershng today,
when 5000 natives will leave their
homes to follow to an alien land an
invading army they had been taught
to hate and fear. Before we came,
they believed we would burn their
homes, ravish their women, and exc
cute those who protested. But after
ten months experience with Ameri-
can army methods, they are heart
broken over being forced to face for
mer living conditions, and those who
can are accompanying the troops
The refugee problem, which was
complicated, but did not
delay the withdrawal. This was car
ried out with speed and precision
that spoke volumes for the intensive
training the expedition has received
in the last ten months.

themes of the London leader writer's
this morning who, however, generally
express the greatest sympathy with
President Wilson, "in his patient

Under the caption; What would

President Wilson has been praying
for peace with a fervor and eloquence

his prayers are answered by the most
truculent declaration ever issued by a
war lord since the days Of Genghis

patience or cancellation. 1t is a ter

war by the relentless brutality of u

Lincoln, on the bloody field of
Gettysburg, expressed the national
high resolve to be content with no
compromise which would render their
sacrifices in vain. That is the true
spirit of the American people and
their patience under an affront should
not deceive us. Let us rest assured
that in the long run American honor
is safe in American hands"

STOCK MARKET
SESSION ONE Of

New York, Feb 1.--GermanX's
declaration OF a relentless submarine

widest sessions of the stock exchange

selling movement, and Bethlehem

A mass of stocks was thrown upon
the market at the opening and sales
in the first hour amounted to $50, 600

time to be virtually no support and
the volume of offerings was materi-
ally increased by sales under stop

Urgent liquidation lessened after
the first hour, however, and was fot,
lowed by irregular rallies, accelerated
by the retirement of bearish con-
tracts, short sellers being quite will
ing, apparently, to take the profits.
There was moderate buying by inter-

BILE, the first of the three steamships
which left here at intervals during the

Bile. as well as that on the other two
ships-the Maumee and Winnebag0---
is intended to pay for the large part
of the wool crop of Argentina which
has been bought by American and
British interests.

Ivious dispatch from Baltimore that
he gold was intended for the German
raiders operating off the coast of

United States as officious attempts
to influence the American policy and
intrude upon the problem which they
recognize as purely between the neu-

Two theories are current here and
are being warmly discussed. One is
that the central powers expect to
'starve out Great Britain and her allies
by unrestricted sea warfare, and that
they consider they have more to gain
by trying to shut off American sup
plies of munitions and food than by
continuing friendly relations. The sec
ond is that the central dynasties con-
slider that at the present they may best
serve their own interests with their
peoples by bringing upon themselves
