might be ruse of the Germans He
ordered an extra lookout and men went
to the guns. In n zigzag manner he

PLAYING THE GERMAN GAME.

Fairly in the war, when the kaiser'i
gray lcgions, prepared 10 the last but
ton, were ruthIessIy crushing the Bel
CLANS and rcIentIessly pushing back
the French and English. there was
heard nowhere In lllY country u call
for peace.
Later, when IIindenburg captured
and killed the Russians in the marshen
OF East Prussia by the hundreds of
Thousands, there was heard nowhere
| in This country a call for peace.
The months rolled by and, although
stopped at the Marine and pushed back
TO the Aislie, things seemed to be
going well with the kaiser. he threw
his forces far into Itussia. lie held
belgium in a vice. lie Btrangled Ser.
bia He ruined and ravaged northern
France.
THOUSANDS Of all nations were killed.
Yet none Of this butchery, this loss,
made amy Impression upon the peace
advocates. They spakc not and they
wrote not They were silent as the
tomb
But when the tide seemed definitely
to turn, when England at last had Il
great army in the field, when the allies
exceeded the Germans not only in
men, but In guns and shells, suddenly
the peace advocates came to life, with
IA noise which has rcdOublcd since
this country entered the war.
IN brief, when Germany seemed on
the point Of winning, our precious pro-
fcssional peace advocates kept their
mouths closely shut. IN recent months,
when the cards are against the kaiser,
our same precious peace advocates
blcat all over the place.
Why? The answer is easy.
A peace advocate who scOrns peace
when Germany il winning and yells
his head off for peace when Germany
il losing, IL just ns German as the
kaiser. Ito il playing tho German
game.
An advocate of peace for such Il
pirate crew is doing GGrmany's dirty
work, and all his fine sentiments and
highfaIutin speeches cannot conceal
tho fact lilo stands just as guilty, and
more guilty, than the tens of thou
sands of prO,Germans In this country
who are jingling the kalsGr's filthy
gold in their pants pockets

The Obstructionists

In other words, La Toilette. thinks
he is already running for the presi-
dency in 1920 on an anti-war ISSUE,
and it is a part Of his campaign to-
make the war unpopular now. Just
why he wants the United States to
pay for Germany's destruction of ci-
ties is not so clear. But La Toilette
is queer as we'll as very personal. ,
Then there is Gronna of North .Da-
kota. His seat in the senate is right,
next to La Follette's. They whisper
together Perhaps that explains Gron-
ma sufficiently. But there are other
terms of dollars and cents and acres
of land. He owns $4,000 acres OF
farms, 10000 acres of this in wheat.
i He opposed the food bill Perhaps it
was because he feared that its pass
age would mean smaller return on
that wheat. But, except on the sub
ject of his land and its returns to his
pocket, Gronna gives voice to no
IDEAS whatever. He is dominated by
La toilette. If Gronna had happened
to get seat beside somebody else,
| somebody who whispered patriotism
to him, he might have been for war,
| If it didn't cost too much. A COM
paratively friendly criticism of Sen
atOr Gronna from a fellow-member of
congress. is this:
! 'GrOnna doesn't know what any of
these national and international ,ques-
tons mean. They don't mean, any
thing to him. He has had a life of
hard work in acquiring thousands Of
acres of land and has come down to
Wa shington to rest

La Toilette is easily the chief OF the
anti-war group, and has fought every
government measure since America
went to war No sooner had he been
overwhelmed by the vote on the food
bill than he offered the amazing peace
resolution demanding that the United
States and her allies contribute to a
joint fund of all the belligerents to
pay for the devastation Germany had
caused in France, Belgium, and Ser
bia, and everywhere else where her
armies have been. If that resolution
did not give aid and comfort to- the
enemy there is nothing that ever will
please. that enemy. OF COURSE La
Toilette did not intend Ito give com
fort and aid for he is no traitor. He
Is just La Toilette without the slight
est capacity to take an impersonal
or broad view Of anything under
heaven. 1t is a reasonable inference
that he did not really think Of help
ing Germany by that resolution or by
anything else that he has done or
said, because he cannot see so far off
as Germany He cannot see beyond
Wisconsin and La Toilette. What ne
has seen and heard or thinks that he
has seen and heard in Wisconsin
makes him believe that this war is
going to be an unpopular war in Am
erica and that by opposing it at the
outset. and all the time, he will event
ually reap the political benefit of hav-
ing been from the start on what he
thinks is going to be the popular side
sometime in the future.

SEEK CURE OF ELECTR0L YSIS
Government Experts Aid in Installing
! System to Prevent Damage to
Metal Structures

The damage done annually to under
ground pipes, cables and other metal
structures in this country by electroly.
sis amounts to many millions of dol
lars. There are very few water, gas
or lead cable systems that are not
more or less subject at some points to
electrolytic damage from stray cur
rents. Moreover, the loss does not
consist merely in the shortening Of
the life Of such structures: electroly.
tic damage is one Of the causes of the
leakage of water and gas from distrib-
ution systems. The failure Of such
systems on account Of electrolytic ac-
ton may also involve various dangers
to the life and health Of human beings.
According to the bureau of standards
more than 25 separate and distinct
methods of dealing with the electricity
sis problem have been proposed and
experimental with from time to time.
Some of these methods are useless. or
even harmful. The bureau of stand
ards has been studying the subject Of
electrolysis mitigation for the last six
years, and has aided in installing COM
plete mitigative systems in several
cities. The bureau makes somewhat
detailed tests in each Of these places
about once year to make sure that
the protective systems are being prop
erly maintained. An extended series
Of experiments has recently been IN
dertaken in the city Of Springfield.

promise for the mitigation of electricity
