A Mothers Appeal to the
President.

Mr.. President, those of us who are
giving sons and husbands or other loved
ones, are giving all that we have in life.
Bravely we are trying to bear the sor-
rows which have been placed upon US:
Bravely we are trying to look forward
with some hope of their return.
We would not hold them back, for we
know that they are going for our honor
and to save us and all womanhood from
the fearful fate which has befallen Bel
GUM and much of France.
But, Mr.. President, we know that their
lives are being menaced because OF pro-
German activities. We know that many
a soldiers life will be lost which might
otherwise have been saved had these
pro-German activities been suppressed
with ruthless hand.
The men who in this country are light
ing the United States by working for
Germany are infinitely more our enc
mics and the enemies of these loved ones
that we are sending to battle than are
the men in Germany, even than the
Kaiser and his associates. These men at
home are seeking to stab our loved ones
in the back, and you, Mr.. President,
know it. These black-hearted traitors to
humanity are walking our streets, doing
business with our people, and yet are al
lied in an effort to make sure that many
thousands of our sons who might other
wise be saved shall be left on the bat
tletields of Europe.
In the name of the mothers, and the
wives, the sisters and the sweetheartS of
all these soldiers who are being called,
and of the other millions who will be
called l plead with you to suppress with
an iron hand every man and woman in
this country who secretly or openly is en-
deavoring to bring about the murder of
these our beloved.
1t is within your power, Mr.. President,
to suppress this German element.
1t is in your power to shorten the
length of this war and to save to us
thousands and tens of thousands of lives
of our soldier boys by deciding whether
you will permit these unbridled activities
in behalf of Germany, to run rampant in
this country, or whether you will sup
press, before the firing squad if need be,
every man in this country who is traitor
to God, to America and to Humanity
If you falter, Mr.. President, and do not
suppress these Policeman activities, .e-
CARELESS of the number Of spies and other
German agents who may have to pay the
Just penalty of their crimes, you will be
responsible before God and man for the
death of many times as many American
soldiers.
| would not add one iota to the burden
you are bearing; l would not seek to les
sen the appreciation of this country of
the magnificent work you have done; but
for the boy who has left me at your call,
and the millions of boys who will leave
their loved ones, plead with you that
nothing shall be left undone to lessen the
dangers which they face.
For my boy, and every other boy,
plead with you, Mr.. President, to realize
that the lives Of thousands of these boys
are staked on what the Government now
does to suppress pro-German activities in
this country Manufacturer Record

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. To avoid is
suance in the future of such erroneous
reports as that sent Tuesday, concerning
the sinking of German submarines, a plan
involving triple checking of official state
ments of the Navy Department has been
presented to Secretary Daniels. It in
wolves the cooperation of officers of the
Navy Bureau of Operations and editors
of the committee on public information.
The error has led officials responsible for
War Department publicity to take addi-
tional precautions against mistakes.
Mr.. Daniels should eliminate the elabo-
rators and the careless from his depart
ment rather than to increase the length
of his payroll.

bile was left.
Knowing the danger of travelling in
the dark, Mr.. Favor decided the bes
thing to do would be to remain in the
field and await dawn. The boys made
themselves as comfortable as possible
under the circumstances. They thought
it somewhat of lark to be out in the
fields and woods all night. Two or three
hours later the footing automobile horns
and lights of the searchers were heard
and seen and the mixers were soon on
their way back home.
