SEEKING PARALLEL CASES.

The expose of the TeutOnic conspir- acy by President Wilson instantly set ones mind in pursuit of similar ex- amples, and they may be found by the score in Europe where intrigue is the food and drink of diplomats. To large extent the present war may be attributed to years upon years of half hidden artifices that involved lands, crowns and commerce. Elaborate spy systems have been maintained for many, many years by every European power, and every stratagem embrac- ed within the domain of sin has been employed by all of them to acquire knowledge damaging to their neigh bors. The United States has not dab- bled deeply in this nauseating kettle of filth, tho in recent years it has had it's secret agents fairly well scattered over the world.
 Upon these secret agents depend the success of such connivery as the German officials are alleged to have attempted in Mexico. Since the war began both Germany and England have maintained at enormous cost huge and highly efficient spy systems in the United States. They have net only spied upon one another. but up- on everything in this country that per tains to war and to public sentiment.
 The present instance is, we believe, the first time that Germany has been engaged in a dangerous plot in the United States. Other nations have been caught in the act, some of them more than once. Spain and France once united to seize part of the Uni ted States, their program being upset by Napoleon. Clement L. VallandiEg- ham was believed to have had British aid when he undertook his treason able enterprise while the Civil War was in progress. Long before that when Aaron Burr sailed down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in his ark" with the aim of capturing New Orleans and the Mississippi val ley, it was said that an English admi- ral with English ships waited at Ja- maica to give help to his adventure Undoubtedly he had British encour- agement, to say the least.
 The people of the United States, not officially, but in popular upris- ing, once took hand in an endeavo1 to partition Canada. This was in 1889 when the Canadians rebelled and their cause became immensely popular in the United States. Our

government endeavored to calm the |hotheads, but TOO of them seized Navy island, British possession in the Ni- agara river, and put a warlike steam CT into service, expecting later to cross and join the rebels. They were Ianticipated-a force of royalists cross ed the river, invaded United States soil, burned the steamer and frighten- ed out the American volunteers.
 The doubtful attitude of France and Great Britain toward the North in the Civil War found expression in a sea of intrigue, much of which was directed personally at President Lin- coin.
 In the Mexican War the United States played it's little game of machi- nation and grab, using American cit izens in Mexico as sources of infor- mation which it was deemed neces- sary to nave.
 Our most glaring participation in duplicity is alleged in the case of Col umbia and the fermentation by Presi- dent Roosevelt of a revolution in Panama in order to get the canal zone. In that case, it is said, while protesting friendship with Colombia, we secretly sent our naval vessels to Panama, surreptitiously gave money end arms to the Panaman revolution. ists, whose enthusiasm our encour- agement created, and saw the thing thfu to our great joy and self-satis- faction.
 Of all the cases cited perhaps the Panama instance more nearly resem. bles the present German outrage upon our feelings. It enables us to know something of Colombia's feelings. Probably the South American press will call this matter to our attention in connection with the German ''in suit" and perhaps rub it .''-Ta- coma Daily News.
