DOES HE MEAN TIT

In a recent address delivered at
Boise, Idaho, Vice President Marshall
said:
Il have been glad to see all nations
and all bloods being mingled in the
melting pot of America. But the hour
has come when any man who does not
instantly melt in the pot and come out
an American citizen shall be snatched
out of the crucible and sent home"
Does Mr.. Marshall mean what he
says? Will he use his great influence
to carry out the suggestion that he has
publicly made? If it Is merely rhetoric.
few high sounding words to round
out sentence, the vice president
would have done better not to have ut
tered them. II he was in earnest, and
the government will apply itself to
carrying out to the letter the declara-
ton thus made. then the seeds of sedi-
ton in this country can be, and will be
torn out, and the boys at the front can
fight more valiantly knowing that the
people at home are solidly backing
them, and Americans everywhere can
breathe easier for the future of the
land they love.
We are in the midst of war, cruel,
bitter war, that will call for the sacri-
flee of blood and treasure, no man can
say at this time to what extent. We
are in this war because brutal and
arrogant nation has murdered our cit
liens on the high seas; has carried on
system of espionage in this country
without parallel in history; has, by or
ganized effort and paid agents destroy
ed property and innocent lives in
America at time when America was
at peace; has endeavored to instigate
other nations to make war against us
The administration submitted to all OF
these indignities beyond the limits OF
ordinary patience and reason, far Ion
ger than Germany, or any other ma
ton would have done.
So long as this nation remained neu-
trail there may have been room for diff
ferences of opinion. When once the
constituted authorities could bear the
continued and repeated insults no Ion
ger and declared this country in Q
state of war with the German imperial
government, there was no place under
the stars and stripes for the man
whose sympathy was with foreign
foe. The time had arrived when man
could not be half and halter. He
must be for his government or against
his government, and the man standing
against this government has no right
on the soil of the United States.
Vice President Marshall's declara-
ton rings the true sentiment of every
American citizen, no matter what
country may have been his birthplace.
who is true American at heart.
There is no place within the jurisdic-
ton of the United States for proGer-
mans. Those who favor Germany
should be sent to Germany, and the
sooner the vice presidents propositioV
is carried into effect without fear or
favor, the better it will be for the
country.

THE GERMAN WAY.

The heartless brutality. the total
lack of humanity and sense of mercy,
displayed by the Germans in the pres
ent war. Is without parallel in history.
The barbarians Of the dark ages, the
savages of the North American contin-
ent, never displayed such merciless-
ness as has marked the treatment of
women and children, the weak and the
helpless. by the German nation. It's
people will hesitate at no enormity.
and the ferocious acts that the kaiser
has sanctioned. applauded and reward
ed would have brought blush of
shame to the cheeks of Nero. It Is be-
yond the normal mind to conceive how
a people, claiming to be civilized, can
commit the f1endish enormities that
Germany has been guilty Of during the
past three years. Strange as It may
seem, and shame be it said, there are
men and women in America lost to all
sense of honor, with such perverted
ideas of right and wrong, that they can
palliate the heinous crimes daily COM
mitted by Germany. 1t is habit to de-
nounce these reports as lies, circulated
by the allies, when the fact is, not half
the monstrous acts of German soldiery
has ever been told, and will not be
known until the war is over and all

the evidence can be collected.
As an instance of the fendishness
of Germans almost unbelievable we
publish below an account OF a recent
engagement at sea. This report Is not
from enemies of Germany, but from q
Norwegian source, a country where
sentiment leans toward Germany, al
though maintaining semblance OF
neutrality. The account appears In the
Tidenotegn, a Norwegian newspaper

citizen of America can for an instant
entertain a particle of sympathy for q
nation that would be guilty of commit
ting such an outrage. Read 1t, ana

IAN appalling story of coldblooded
massacres of crews of British North

by the Norwegian newspapers. the

were observed at o'clock In the
morning and were thought to be Brit
ish vessels, but at Z o'clock when there

shooting and the conveys was terrified

stern of the convoy begin to sink, al
though it fought to the end The Ger
man cruisers, after signalling the YES
sells to stop, advanced on each isde oil
the convoy, which they swept with all
their guns at range of less than 2OO
yards.

mans were not content to sink the ships
but shelled the lifeboats. and every
living thing coming their way was
mercilessly slaughtered. The survivors
owed their lives to the high sea which
was running, making the boats a diff
cult mark
"In the midst of the massacre an
other British destroyer came up and
Immediately attacked, but was soon
sunk in the unequal struggle. The
German flotilla then cruised backward
and forward along the sinking steam

of shells at a range of 100 yards. One
shell went through the Swedish shir

ment dominated wholly by proGer-
mans. This upheaval in Russia puts a
more serious aspect upon the war.
While Russia has not really been an
appreciable factor in the war for some
months separate peace would relieve
Germany of the necessity of keeping
large armies on the eastern front, and
would permit of the concentration of
large forces on the French front. Ma
terially. Russia can be of little use to
Germany, as transportation and indus
tries are in chaotic state, and there
is not sufficient food even for the Rus
sian people. The situation means har-

America, but England. France and
America will not submit to peace

THE RUSSIAN MIDDLE.

Russia has gone through the throes
Of another revolution, and for the time
being at least the government, or the
immitation of government. is in the
hands of the anarchistic branch Of the
socialistic party of that country. The
new government is far from stable,
and further outbreaks among the var
ious factions is to be expected. If civil
war is averted the people of that I'M
happy country will be fortunate. 1t
is doubtful If the radical element now
in the saddle will be able to retain
authority. One of the first acts of the
new government Is to demand peace.
It is rather strange that party boast
ing of true democracy is willing to
accept any kind of a peace that an
autocracy may favor. but that looks
like the plan at present advocated. AS
preliminary to peace an armistice Of
three months has been suggested. This
