CRUSH OUT THE TRAITORS!

Charles Edward Russell, the socialist member of the Root
commission to Russia, which has returned safe to our shores:
confirms the suspicion previously entertained that German
agents have been active i'm the ranks of his party in the United
States and that a deliberate attempt was made by, or at least in
the name OF, American socialists, to discredit the Root commits
sion and to Iure our chances of winning this war. The fed
eral government now has evidence of this and of other acivi-
ties, such as the substituting of the l. w. W.. conspiracy to de-
stroy mines, crops and lumber supplies for the same purpose.
While the number of traitors in this country is COMPARE
lively small, the whole land is nevertheless honeycombed with
treason, and danger at home will increase progressively until
steps are taken to crush the vipers that are trying to strike us
from behind. Death is the penalty of high treason, and in time
of war this pound of flesh must be exacted without hesitation.
BY summarly trying and executing a few spies and traitors
in this country, the rest will be discouraged.
Last week Representative Heflin of Alabama boldly attack
ed the kaisers supporters in congress. Noting the absence OF
some of them in the house of representatives while he was
speaking on the subject, he said: Il think they are out stirring
up opposition to the war, to the selective draft and getting Ger
mans to hold meetings and asking that they be exempt from
service" This may have been supplementary, but it was a
wholesome hint to those who are trying to embarrass the fed
eral administration and President Wilson that there are some
members in congress who have the courage to stand back of the
president and to tell the people of this country the truth.
If Germany wins this war, the world will not be a fit place
Spanish Main who made their victims walk the plank, but no
mitted a more dastardly crime than did the commander of the
German submarine who lined up thirty-eight prisoners ON his
deck and then submerged his vessel, leaving them to drown in
the sea. To call submarine warfare piracy is no figure OF
speech; it falls somewhat short of the mark Commercial.

PREPARATION MUST BE THOROUGH

No nation or people or individual ever made a better in.
vestment than this nation will make right now by investing
large amounts of money in preparation for war, now that we
are in the war.
You neevr know exactly how an investment Will turn out,
but it is as certain as any human effort can be made certain
that money invested in munitions now Will De pald Dack Ill hu-
man lives later.
The English French allies and the German Austrian allies
were about evenly matched when the war began three years
ago. and are about evenly matched now.
Three wears ago each side was made up of nations COM
posed of the natural quota of strong, healthy, able-bodied men.
That they were about evenly divided is shown by the fact That
as soon as the French and English were able to get their armies
together they were strong enough to stop the German onrush
toward Paris. but that the German-Austrian forces were equal
" strong is shown by the fact that the English French allies
were not able to drive them back to their own border, Russia
helping some by drawing part of the German forces to the east
en border.
That they are about of equal strength now is shown by the
fact hat neither side can scarcely make a dent In the others
lines. Shells are fired, charges made, millions killed in the
course of a wear. and when it is all over the lines OF trenches
are very close to where they were in the beginning.
1t is into this conflict that America has entered to bring
peace. either with or without a fight to a finish.
Nothing is now more likely to bring the peace without the
fight to a finish than to be ready to make it a fight to a finish.
We need not try to fool ourselves into thinking that the
Germans do not know what we are doing. They do. and they
know lust how far and how efficient our preparation is.
They must know that with America adding her strength
and resources to the nations that have proved an even match
for the German forces for three years leaves only one eventual
result in the issue, and that disastrous to Germany.
Nothing will now do more to bring Germany to make still
further overtures for peace than her understanding that Amer
lea is doing the Job Of getting ready hOroughly:-Detrol News.
The best we can make out of it is that the pro-Germans in
suffering from cold feet one-half the time and night sweats
the other half.
