Suppress the "American Weekly"

To Japan? Who knows He is eloquent,
but, alas, obscurew
l quote extensively, for this article
well illustrates the quality of the writ
ing in this american Weekly'-the
lies impudently stated as established
facts, the sneering scorn of the presi-
dent and of the American people, at
of Secretary Lane; the cheap, sarcas-
tic appeal to the Anglophobes and the
Irish.
In this American Weekly" of June
18th, Goth and 9th, carefully read anl
digested, in so far as 1t is digestiblc,
there is scarcely word of appreciation
of the government of the United States
or any of it's responsible officials in any
action they have taken against Germny,
and there is not a single word of cen
sure for Germany.
An editorial on the Liberty Loan is
characteristic:
"The Liberty Loan is a disappoint-
ment. in spite of its oversubscription.
Being the first loan submitted to the
richest nation in the world, It should
have been oversubscribed many times.
The American people refused to warm
up to the loan, because they knew that
| its proceeds would be used largely 70
pay the debts of the bankrupt nations
of Europe. They refused aid to the al
lies directly. They did not wish to be
their hackers by indirection. They did
not relish the idea Of putting up Ameri
can dollars to finance liabilities incurred
| by the allies over the counter Of j. Pier
pont Morgan
What are the kaiser's cousin and his
precious American Weekly" drivinl
at?
The thing is perfectly clear Germany
| is at the moment carrying on two VI
gorous diplomatic campaigns. She Is
on the one hand, trying to disrupt the
allies; and, on the other, she is trying
to prevent the United States from en-
tering wholeheartedly into her prepar
ations for war, by stirring up socia
unrest and persuading the American
people that they are the dupes OF tho
Morgan interests and Of malignant
England"
George Sylvester Viereck is not :
very big frog, but he is doing his bit
for the kaiser in both these campaigr'

Strange Doings

Such strange things happen
every day! Old Hiram is a stingy
jay, who never once, since he was
planned, blew in a cent with heed.
less hand. All through his journey
in this vale, his motto was, Salt
down the kale!" A dime was bip-
ger, to his view, than is a skating
rink toyou. The large round dol
lar was his god; no charity could
touch his wad; privation could not
make appeal that would obtain from
him one wheel. No safe invest
ment in his town, could make him
lay some money down; he shaved
and starved to gain the plunk, and
hid his plumber in his trunk. And
then a stranger came along; and
gave old Hi a dance and song; he
had a patent truss to sell, which
