The Whiskey Martyrs.

Chaplin & Gore. Chicago, for 60 years
one of the largest whiskey manufac-
turing firms in the country, is to go
cut of business, Charles H. Hermann,
president of the firm, announced Mon
day. Mr.. Herman, who is also the head
CT the National Distillers and Whole
sale Liquor Dealers Associat ton, pre-
dicted that within so days at least 1000
saloons in Chicago and a similar pro-
portion throughout the country would
be forced out Of business as the result
of national anti whiskey legislation.
Mr. Herman estimated that the whis-
key now in existence would be ex-
hausted within a year at the present
rate Of consumption
If the prediction Of this booze expert
is fulfilled, let US thank God for the
war, if that Is the only thing that
could accomplish this result.
After 60 years Of spreading poverty,
disease. disaster and death. and COIN
ing millions from the woe of others.
this firm is driven" out Of business
and retires with a long face and a
whine of martyrdom. 1t is being
robbed" by the government at the in
stance Of the people, who are at last
determined to protect their homes as
we'll as their sons in the army and
their industrial plants.

Where Your Treasure Is, by Hol-
man Day, published by Harper &
Brothers, New York and London, 4Sl
pages, with a frontispiece in coiors.
When Holman Day decides that an
incident is worth weaving a story
around, 1t is safe to expect something
Of interest, because no writer OF the
present day can turn that trick to
better advantage or with more enter
tainment for the reader than this same
Holman. He has succeeded admirably
we'll in Where Your Treasure Is, the
last work from his pen. That 1t went
at once into the list Of best sAllers was
to be expected, but it will stay there
for some time because it deserves it.
The recovery Of the golden treasure
lost with the steamer Golden Gate
many years ago on the lower Califor-
mia coast gave the idea for the yarn.
Then came the dangerous, difficult but
fascinating life Of diver, with the
ever-present nice little love story to be
woven in and through the whole and
without which the story would be in
complete.
Ross Sidney, a young lad, bidding

through his success as a Juvenile town
bully, gets beyond his depth in local
misdeeds and goes to the city, where
by means of a letter from friend he
makes the acquaintance of deep-sea
diver and learns the business. In time
a row with the owner of the business
causes Ross to give him a thrashing
and he again finds himself at home
where he is thought to be rich ana
cuts considerable of a figure in that
pose, experiencing in short time
variety and succession Of deeds and
semi -misdeeds that render the nara
tive thrilling to the extreme.
He is finally brought into contact
with a party which has the reputed
knowledge ofs~here the wreck of the
sunken treasure steamer is reposing
and is hired on share terms to go as
the diver. The captains daughter was
a passenger-they fall in love. he for
getting all the old attractions that had
enlivened his career from a boy 10 the

the gold, but get it he did, in spite or
the treachery of some of the party and
the attempt of Mexicans and others
to rob them.
The hardships and sufferings of the
diver as he toiled in the sand and the
undertow, with hands and feet worn to
the bone, with fighting on top and un-
der the sea- with the encouragement
Of the little girl who loved him at last
triumphed and his next return to the
scenes of his childhood was as really

The Reveijje,

Eark. hear the tramp of thousands,
And Of armed men the hum:
10. nations hosts have gathered
Round the quick alarming drum
Saying Come
Freemen, come.
Ere your heritage be wasted, said the
quick alarming drum.
Let me of my heart take counsel:
War is not Of life the sum-
Who shall stay and reap the harvest
When the autumn days shall come?
But the drum
Echoed. Come.
Death shall reap the Drawer harvest,
said the solemn sounding drum.
But when won the coming battle,
What profit springs therefrom?
What Of conquest. subjugation,
Even greater ills become?
But the drum
Answered, Come!
You must do the sum to prove 1t, said
the Yankee answering drum.
What IL mid the cannons thunder,
Whisting shot and bursting bomb,
When my brothers fall around me
Should my heart grow cold and numb
But the drum
Answered, Come!
Better there in death invited than in life
recreant. Come"
Thus they answered, hoping. fearing.
Some in faith. and doubling some.
Till a trumpet-voice proclaiming
Said, my chosen people, Come"
Then the drum,
Lo. was dumb,
For the. great heart of the nation throb-
bling answered. Lord we comet"

service for which he should be thanked
rather than criticized.
An examination Of the record will
show that Republicans have been con-
structive, patriotic and effective in
their suggestions upon matters relating
to the war. They have sometimes been
the means Of securing legislation over
the obstructive efforts Of Democrats.
Because the war places the President
and the members Of his cabinet in the
limelight, the assistance rendered by
members Of Congress is frequently
overlooked. But history, when written
impartiaIly. will tell a story Of efficient
and patriotic service Of which Repub-
licans will be proud.

The watchword Too late" which
has marked so many of England's con-
tributions to the war is plainly to be
attached to the proposal to- inaugurate
a great naval offensive against Kiel,
Heligoland. Zeebrugge and other Ger
man naval bases. II the British grand
fleet had attacked Kiel at the outbreak
of the war and before its waters were
mined and its lard defences strength
ened, there is no doubt that the Ger
man sea power would have been i'm
mediately demolished. This is possible
now, but at a far greater cost than
would then have been necessary and to
which the American feet-as Winston
Churchill suggests-will be asked to
contribute. In the event Of such a pro-
posal we can hardly refuse. But we
can make sure that the laboring oar is
taken by our British allies. We i'm
agine that even Josephus Daniels will
insist upon this.

"The kaiser's Cousin"

The Nigilantes are getting after
George Sylvester Viereck. In an ar
ticle entitled Suppress the Kaiser's
Cousin, Hermann Hagedorn, whose
name also has a German sound, by the
way. recalls a brag Of Viereck's that
by grace of human frailty" George
Sylvester was a first cousin of the
Kaiser. Hagedorn quotes enough OF
"Viercck's American Weekly" to show
that this most un-American sheet
should be made ar end of.
Haeedorn points out that Germany
is at the moment carrying on two
vigorous 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
entering whole heartedly into her
preparations for war, by stirring
up social unrest and persuading the
American people that they are the
dupes Of the Morgan interests and Of
malignant England"
"Viereclls Weekly" the article
shows, is doing its bit" for the Kaiser
in both these campaigns and Should
be suppressed out Of hand" Concern
ing Mr. Viereck, the writer remarks
He should be treated like a man in a
beseiged city. caught poisoning the

We are wondering exactly how
criminals of that sort ARE treated
ard whether the treatment would seem
adequate.
