The Law and Order League and w.
c. T. u of Hagerstown, in joint ses-

Der 81, adopted the following resolu-
tons:
Whereas: Certain newspapers car
rying the report of the trouble be-
tween Mr.. E. E. Root of Hagerstown,
and Attorney Henry U. Johnson in the
latter's office last week conveyed the
impression that said trouble was pos
sibly caused by the Law and Order
League; and that it was probable that
said trouble would cause a rupture in
the ranks of the Law and Order
League; and
Whereas: There are those in Hag-
erstown who openly defy the liquor
laws and dare and threaten those who
attempt to bring them to justice;
Be 1t Resolved by the two organiza-
tions here assembled that We have not
or do not now, encourage law break
ing in any form; that we regret and
deplore the occurrence of the incident
above mentioned. although Mr.. Root,

Do We Dare To Resist The Kaiser?

fFy James A. WOODBURY. Head Department History,
Indiana University
Have you ever read the indictments brought
by our fathers in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence against George III? There were some
charges and most of them were justified against
that stupid German king. But George did very
little compared with what the Kaisers govern
ment has done against the American people. To
prove it let facts be submitted to candid world:
It has sunk our ships without warning and
unlawfully destroyed the lives of our peaceful
citizens on the high seas;
1t is carrying against us operations to
complete the works of death, desolation and
tyranny already begun with circumstances of
cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleed in the
most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy civ
zed nation;
1t has filled our land with spies, and excited
domestic instructions and disorders among us
1t has intrigued with Mexico and Japan to at

Our Immigrants Money
South Bend Times.

From the South Bend Times.
THE Pennsylvania railroad has taken Liber-
i ty loan census of its employees. It finds that
thirty-two per cent of its foreign-born contrbut-
ed to the loan to thirty per cent of natives.
That is to say, the immigrants gave Uncle Sam
their money just about cheerfully as those who
were born and bred Americans.
The racial roll of foreign-born investors is an
interesting document in itself. There are forty
two nationalities represented. The Scotch won
first honors as bond-buyers, with percentage of
sixty-five. The Canadians came next with fifty
two per cent. Forty-three per cent of the Irish
were represented, thirty-six per cent of the Rus
slams and Poles, thirty-two per cent of the Ital-
ians and Germans and twenty-seven per cent of
the Acknowledgements. Among the rest were
Swedes, Spaniards Swiss, Roumanians, Norwe-
clans, Syrians West Indians, Arabs, Armenians,
Persians, Africans, Croats, Japanese, Chinese
and men of many other races.
The list represents admirably the fine spirit
Of our adopted sons in general. They subscribed
to that Liberty loan in almost the same proper
ton as our natives did, They will doubtless do
likewise with subsequent loans. They may do
better We shall have to ego some" to beat our
sometimes unappreciated foreigners" in the vol
untary enlistment of American dollars for the
triumph of American ideals.

A Patriotic Woman

Almost every paper you take to hand these
days contains an article telling of the heroic sac
rifice of some mother
The Kansas City Star, in recent issue, print
ed the story of widow who has three sons in the
service and is advertising for an experienced
farmer to help her harvest the crops.
The brave fight Of this woman puts to shame
some of the mothers who complain loudly because
a son was called to the heroic duty Of fighting
for his country.
Mothers who have been inconsolable and
have raved against fate, even going so far as to
give utterance to words that border on treason
may read with profit this article as it appeared
ir the Kansas City Star. It will tell them indi-
rectly what their patriotic duty is
