Important general legislation pending
because of it's exclusion from the last
special war session are the Webb bill per-

WANTS TREASON EXPLAINED.
Gen. Johnston Urges Study of What the
Constitution Says II Is.

Boston, Dec IA drive for clearer
conception OF what constitutes treason
was made by Brig Gen. John A. John
ston, commander of the department of
the northeast, in a statement Saturday.
What we want to do is to get the
definition of treason, as it is given in the
constitution, spread broadcast through
the land he said 1--WE want it SO every
man can cut it out, read it, paste it in
his hat, and keep it there, learn it by
heart if necessary. We want him to
visualize it in his mind, not to be his
brothers keeper, but for every man to
be his own keeper. Then he will say to
himself: Had better say to my friend
what / am going to say? Is it giving aid
and comfort to the enemyf' And if he
has the least doubt, then he will not
say it.
Treason against the United States
shall consist only in levying war against
them or in adhering to their enemies, Civ
ing them aid and comfort says the con.
stitution. Let every man, woman and
child measure every word and deed by
what our forefathers said about treason.
Let them look at it from the soldiers
point of view--from the point of view of
the man over there Differences must
not stop the production of material The
soldier needs it, and he needs it in super
abundance.
"And so the capitalist who says, i will
not meet these men and the laboring
man who says, i will not work for him
unless he gives me more pay and there
BY holds up production of necessary ma
.erial, are in effect giving aid and com
'ort to the enemy. The constitution does
lot say anything about intent We all

Boys Want Reading Matter

Officers of the American soldier
units in training in France have
asked the Associated Press CORES
pondent to inform the American
people that the soldiers lack read

comparatively small quantity
of magazines and newspapers
which has been arriving is eagerly
read by the men. Some of the
publications passed through dozens
of readers hands, until the pages
actually were in fragments and
were thus read by others.

vised. The plan is the work of Frank A.

tude of the undertaking can be appre-

COAL SCARCE

BUENOS AIRES, JULY 7.-Coai is so scarce in Argentina that the dredging of the country's navigable rivers and of Buenos Aires harbor has practically been suspended This is a particularly serious matter here, as it was necessary originally to deepen the local harbor to permit the entrance of large vessels and J constant continuation of dredging is required to prevent it from re- filling. The newspapers are urging the government to keep the hedges working off Buenor Aires, at least, at almost any cost.
