abject subservience TO the British ambitions.
california Demokrat," San Francisco:
The Council of National Defence advises US
to save every pound Of coal. We think this
counsel is entirely unnecessary, at least here
abouts, because coal is so high that every
ounce represents fortune. There is sum-
cient coal for all purposes, the government
continues, but it is difficult to take it out OF
the earth and transport it. We think an in
vestigation will show that the coal barons
are responsible for the scarcity. At least,
it was so in the past; when coal was high
these philanthropists were found to have
raised prices without any apparent cause, ex.
cept that they needed the money.

just like Jack and Jim of the factory, and
tina, when they are finally tried out Jack and
Jim may prove the better men and get more

Evansville Demokrat," Evansville. Ind:
The only aim Of the United States in this war
should be to obtain satisfaction for wrongs
done to the United States. However. there
is certain small but influential clique at
work which aims TO enlist our government
for the war aims Of the Entente. Except for
those who have money interests at stake. the
movement is in line with the general Anglo
Saxon tendency TO reunite England and the
United States, according to the wish ea-
pressed in the well known testament OF Csc''
Rhodes.

Furnishing Slackers


Various degrees of "frightfulness' are
suggested as a punishment for registra-
ton "slackers" who are being rounded
up by the Federal authorities. United
States Marshal Mccarthy estimated that
there are 10000 of these in New York,
though not more than 1000 have been
tentatively located He intimates that
while he expected more trouble from
enemy aliens, he has encountered most OF
his difficulties with American citizens.
"The Telegram" suggests spanking for
the Columbia students involved in the
drag net, but it. talks of jail and even
death for the adult "slackers" in these
words: For hardened old anarchists we
would urge the limit"
"The Tribune" twits the so-called con
scientious objectors,' among them a group
of radicals who call themselves Citizens
of the World" and thus characterizes this
school:
Sing Sing is full OF men who believe in
righteousness in general" but who some
how have failed 10 realize IL IN the concrete
ne kind OF nternationaism which remains
otter one has denied all nations, including
fis own. is like the famous ca: in Alice IN
Wonderland" which vanishes and leaves only
its grin.
THE Times with Prussian severity,
thus passes sentence:
At Butte. in Montana. tventy-seven re-
cusants, most Of them foreigners were
arrested; at Missoula. in the same state
twenty-four Films. And so it goes. Here IT
is a lot OF Russians. There 1t is lot OF
Poles We have been too easy with these
recalcitrants, these insulters Of the country
where they get their bread and meat. They
should be dealt with sternly. II they break
the laws, provoke disorder, daily with treason
they should be made to cool their heads and
heels in Jail.

REVIEW of the German language

REVIEW or the herman Language
n press in the United States dis
n closes the surprising fact that in
the editorial columns the Liberty Loan has
been almost wholly ignored. The news de-
partments. it is true, contain full reports as
to how the movement progresses, and not
infrequently are the appeals for more SUD-
scriptions featured, but the editors have
"cloaked themselves in silence" as the
German saying is.
The "Staats-Zetung' of New York
had a paragraph commenting on the re-
port that the farmers upstate were rather
slow in sending in their subscriptions. The
editor said:
The farmer is devoted to the sport Of
ruling the city of New York, extracting a
goodly number of dollars from the summer
boarder and charging all the market Will
Lear for potatoes, onions and his products
in general. When it comes to assisting
Uncle Sam in obtaining means for war
fare our friends upstate know better uses
for their money. Let the city fellow do
it, is their watchword, and their money
remains in the bank
The German "Herold" declared "Of the
Liberty Loan, amounting to s2,00O,OOO,0
so far only $1,000, 100000 has been sub
scribed. The books are to be closed on the
18th. and therefore, the country must
have 500 goo every day. Morgan &
Co. have opened the patriotic movement of
the last seven days by reporting subscrip
tons to the amount of $4,000, 600"
The Daily Colorado Herold" (Denver)
remarks: "Dr. Newell Dwight Hills is
now speaking for the Liberty Loan, and 1t
is hoped that Denver will reach its mini
num- sl0,000.000. Perhaps the speeches
of the reverend gentleman will be less eff
cacious than the fact that our bankers are
about to found permanent war loan COM
pany which will take care of our share in
providing the government with money"

Wilson makes il entirely sfear that there Is
10 thought of punitive indemnities, and that
none will be insisted on except those which
constitute payment for manifest wrongs
done" What Mr.. Wilson has to say upon
the subject of territorial changes is based
unon sound reason and the principles OF
eternal Justice. II would be preposterous to
irterpret the Russian slogan of mo annexa-
lions" as an insistence upon the restoration
Ct the status quo
"The Worlds" comment is more general:
As President Wilson points out in his
admirable note to Russia, merely to check
such combination as this is not to rid the
would of its menace. Asking the attention OF
the Russian democracy to ouch facts as THESE
the President gives the most conclusive rea-
sons why nations not predatory should con-
tinue TO act in harmony until the world is
relieved from conditions that have become in
toerable.
"The Globe" gives its approval of the
Presidents reply to the Russian ideal OF
peace without annexations or indem-
mites IN these WORDS.
No territory TO change hands except to Sc
cure TO those that inhabit it fair chance
to liberty and to life. No indemnities except

ante, out of which the war proceeded to be so
altered as TO secure the future peace OF the
world The foregoing principles are enunci-
ated by the President with cIesrness, power
and felicity in his message to Russia IN
many ways the best OF his war papers

application of the Presidents EXCEPTIONS

Leader" pauses to question present-day
use of Hun" for German, and then to
justify it.;
Many Americans of German parentage
doubtless bitterly resent the growing use OF
the word "Hun" 10 describe the Germanc
movement While they feel that America has
been drawn rresistibly into the war and are
willing to do their part, still their hearts go
out to the fatherand.
Il is Just as we'll that these and all others
should know why the world outside of Ger
many has little by little come TO the use Of
an appellation at first only the enemies OF
Germany used. II Is because what was
thought then TO be a mere figure of speech

as part of the military policy Of the whole
empire.
MANY bitter things will be said from now
on. some of them unjust But there is prec-
edent for the use of the word Hun" The
Kaiser himself started it. and the German
military commanders have given it vogue. 1t
will not be strange if history shall soberly
set down the raid on Belgium and France as
the second invasion Of Attils.

To Wake
Us Up

THE Cincinnati Inquirer" rediscovers
that American prosperity has meant final
iy apathy, and finds some measure OF good
in the war if it is to wake US from too
comfortable existence:
There is a feeling in many quarters that
something is lacking No one is prepared TO
say Just what. There is still an mistaken
faith that the nation is sound at the core,
that the ancient love for liberty has not been
lost. that when the final test is applied we
will be found all right. But the uncomfort-
able sense Of the absence of bit of the right
Promethean fire remains.
Taking the nation at large, we have ease
and comfort and widespread prosperity to
degree probably never experienced before in
our history.
Herein lies the whole secret Apathy is
resting on territory taken by others. 1t Is
failure 70 see that the things worth while
are maintained only by conflict Happily 1t
in slunber. and not death. that prevails. which
renders all the more applicable the warning
cry, Awake"
The threat of the overload will have ac-
complished an excellent purpose If 1t drives
away the apathy now causing apprehension,
revives the deep and abiding passion for lib
ertv and discoses a nation that is master OF
It's own soul.

Canadian
CONSUMPTION

Canada, with voluntary enlistments fall
ing below the half million men to which
the Dominion is pledged, turns regretfully
TO the United States and the spectacle OF
the selective draft. THE Manitoba Free
Press" thus presents the matter:
The low level reached by voluntary recruit
ing in Canada has caused the choice between
compulsion and the gradual disappearance OF
the Canadian army in France as distinct
portion Of the imperial forces to be pre-
sented To which alternative the Canadian
people should turn there be no doubt,
but tina. the voluntary system should have
to be abandoned at any point short OF the
half million men TO which the Dominion is
pledged is far from creditable.
In Canada approximately per cent Of the
population have enlisted voluntarily. The
figure compares unfavorably with the Aus
tralian percentage, which. applied in Canada,
population for population, would give 100000
men-a total considerably higher than that
originally set as the limit of recruitment.
The failure Of voluntary recruiting in Canada
is thus relatively far greater than in Aus
trala or in Great Britain before compulsory
service was invoked.
