citizens or aliens, who deliberately set themselves to hinder or obstruct pro- visions essential to the national safety and freedom are foes of the country ard, if, it unhappily be that they are citizens should be dealt with as trators.
 When a nation is struggling in the throes of war. facing the dire possi- bilities of defeat and devastation at the hands of a rapacious foe--5, con- tingency which even the most powerful nation sometimes cannot avert-it is plainly permitting a blow to be struck at the very foundations of government to allow either individuals or organi- zatons to foment internal discord, create dissension, encourage strife or in any manner provoke or accomplish that which jeopardizes the collective welfare of the people.
 In time of stress it is the obvious duty of the citizen to rally to the sup port of the institutions which afford him protection and to give to them the best that in him lies.
 The fact that he disagrecs with some of the effects produced by certain cir cumstances or conditions resulting from defects in the system by which the institutions are governed or con- trolled, does not in tho least alter his obligation.
 A period of extremity when foes sur round and destruction threatens is not time 10 seek to alter the fabric of government.
 Wars arc no more than momentary occurrence in the life of a nation. For each hour of strife there are years of peace in which those who are dissatis- fled with the existing conditions or cf- rects of government may lend them selves to the task of correcting the evils that may exist.
 He who waits to strike until the hour of trial and danger rises and threatens to ovcrwhelm is a viper lying on the bosom of the nation whose bite threatens q destruction no less deadly than the enemy to whom his activities are open assistance.

Regardless of whether VIC realize it CT not the country is facing the most critical perior of it's whole career and is de- pendant upon the united support of all of it's people to avert defeat ht the hands of an arrogant and un- sclupulous foe who detests our r2pub- lican institutions and would destroy them root and branch in order to pro- tcct and foster its own autocratic svstom
 should something 80 amiss with our allies, should our own defensive measures fail, we would be reduced 10 the btterest extremes to prevent our land being invaded by hostile hosts who would lay us under a tre- mendous burden of debt and compel us to disgorgc as much or our national wealth as they could extort by threats of destruction and slavery. In view of the alternatives which may follow the failure of our present plans and of the overwhelming necessity for the undi- vided support of all our citizens to ac- cmplsh those plans all good citi- zens will concur in the view that the conStant and pernicious efforts made hy portion of our citizenry to de- stroy the national efficiency or im- pair the productive resources on which the natioi- depends for protection should be rigidly suppressed.

Indications from Palestine are that
with the advent of favorable weather
the British are resuming their active
campaign up the Syrian coast. The
capture OF British troops Of Beershe.
ba. approximately 40 miles south west
OF Jerusalem is reported in the Off.
cial statement today. When opera.
ton in Palestine halted last spring
the British had pushed up the coat
from the Sinai peninsula to the gates
OF GAIA on the coast in southern Pal.
estine while in interior Palestine their
columns had advanced on virtually
parallel front to the vicinity OF Beer
sheba.
There were reports that there hal
been penetration as far northwartt
as Hebron which is less than 90
miles from Jerusalem. but apparently
there was no definite advance OF the
British main force to this point.
Reports early last month stated
that British and revolving Arab for.
ces from the interior had effected a.
junction in Southern Palestine
and that combined operations by
these forces against the Turks might
be expected shortly.
