DRAWING THE LINE IN TIME OF
WAR,

Freedom of the press and freedom
of speech are inalienable rights of
the American people, guaranteed I'M
der the Constitution. OF that there
can be no denial. Yet during war
time the press Of the nation has been
asked not to publish any matters of
military Importance, anything that
might be of value to the enemy and
so reverberate against our troops. In
the same light the people of the ma
ton have been asked to refrain from
wild talk, arguments and diatribe
which might prove of aid and COM
fort to the enemy.
One well-known magazine, follow
ing closely in the footsteps Of the
German language newspapers, has
been debarred from the mails because
Of its anti-American tactics, because
of it's almost reasonable and sedi-
tious utterahces. The editor of this
periodical went to Washington to see
President Wilson and get direct from
the White House the views of the
Administration on freedom of the
press at this time. What he learned
there has not been made public, but
it is presumed that Mr.. Wilson sue
ceeded in appeasing the gentleman's
! appetite for information. Growing
! hungry again, however, as is wont
| with all humans, this wielder of a
| fiery pen, wrote for further informa-
ton, asking the President just where
! the stop should be made to public
| utterances and writings not in SYM
| pathy with the war.
President Wilson's reply contains
certain passages that should be
| studied and pondered over by all
| those who feel they do not know what
| to do with, their tongues or their pens
| when discussing the war. He writes,
| in part: Il think that time OF war
| must be regarded as wholly excep-
tional and that it is legitimate to re-
| gard things which would in ordinary
| circumstances be INNOCENT as very
| very dangerous to the public well
fare. But the line Is manifestly ex-

SPEND THE MONEY

Health Officer Says Large Sums
Should Be Expended in Order to
Safeguard Health of Towns.
Hartford. Sept. 28.-Many towns in
the state did not spend enough money
for health during 1916 to buy each
person in the town a cheap cigar or
a bag of peanuts, says Health Com
missioner DR.. John e. Black today in
the monthly bulletin of the state de-
partment of health.
He urges the necessity of large ex-
penditures by cities and towns to con-
serve the health of the community,
and says that compilation from
local health officers reports for last
year shows that while in cities of over
$4,000 population the average per
capita expenditure for health during
1916 was forty cents. This average
dropped to thirteen cents in cities of
$1,000 to 10000 to seven cents in
towns of 5000 to 10000 and to less
than five cents in towns under 5000
population Under the caption How
much does your town pay?' the COM
missioner says:
Health officers reports last year
show that the smaller towns of the
state are paying out very small sums
for the protection of their health. At
the present time most towns are work
ing on their annual budget and they

ARMY OFFICERS
IN GERMAN PLOT
Members Of Aviation Corps and
EnSignS Involved With Schneider

San Francisco, Sept. 28-Five men,
bers of the United States aviation
corps, an army recruiting officer and
two navy ensigns are said by federal
officials to be involved in a plot against
the government alleged to have been
headed by Lieut.. Erwin Frederick
Schneider of the German navy and
Theodore Kasinger, department store
employe, both of whom were taken
into custody here recently.
This disclosure came last night as
the result of an order from the depart
ment of justice providing for the i'm
mediate removal Of Schneider and Ka-
singer from the county jail ito an in
ternment camp on Angel Island which
contains Franz Bopp, former German
consul general here, and his aide
Baron E. H. Won Setback, former vice
consul.
The authorities refused to divu]ge
the nature of the alleged participation
of the army and navy officers in the
plot. They said all information on the
case had to be sent to San Diego and
Los Angeles, where it was with the
conspiracy centred. At the time
Schneider and Kasinger were taken
into custody federal agents asserted
that the two had associated with
four Austrian army officers subse-
uuently detained at Laredo, Texas, and
who it is believed were planning to
Austria.
1t was said they were suspected of
having obtained military information.

THE LOVE OF COUNTRY.


CAS- it Too Often Is At Presently
! Deep in the heart Of every man the
love of country lies;
| He breathes it with his baby breath
1T fingers till he dies.
So I love the land we live In, every
little, every jot,
With a preferential feeling for q
Broadway corner lot.
I love the boundless country, with its
harvest, and sigh
To manipulate a corner Of the visible
supply.
love the lofty mountains, and feel
my heart will burst,
Knowing I might own their treasure,
had only found it first.
And not alone our country and its
greatness revere,
But I hold the very emblems Of its
privileges dear.
Methinks the goddess Liberty would
touch a heart of flint,
So beautifully stamped upon the pro-
duct of the mint!
And I linger DER the Latin craven on
the coins reverse,
Wishing that I had a "pluribus'' of
"unums'' in my purse.
love the spreading eagle with the
lightning in it's clutch,
And love the double eagle just pre-
cisely twice as much!
Then the patriots and the sages-
that long and noble line
I would that a collection of their like
nesses were mine!
I love the Grant and Lincoln on the
crisp Or crumpled "one",
And on the two I cherish the i'm
mortal Washington.
I love the Franklin on the "ten". the
Garfield on the five,
And love the noble red man better
there than If alive.
The hero on the twenty, too, is
strangely dear to me,
But who he Is, alas I've never had a.
chance to see.
Yes, I honor all the heroes who are
turned to common clay,
And my soul is filled with gratitude
I'm not as dead as they.
Yet while they lived they nobly
launched our glorious Ship Of
State;
And I wish I had the contract to sup
+ ply her amor-plate.
I'm God we trust they placed upon
our coinage, which is why
In man we will not trust unless he has
good supply.
From bonds of foreign tyranny they
bravely set us free,
And bonds of Uncle Sam are good
enough for you and me.

should seriously consider the amount
to be allotted for health If the town
has a death rate of nine per thou
sand or less, If its record shows no
deaths from tuberculosis or other pre-
ventable diseases, If not more than
five per cent Of the babies born have
died and If the school attendance has
been 90 per cent perfect, the amount
expended last year will probably be
ample for the coming year.
THE above standard is possible and
has been reached, but not in Con-

ity reaching this standard is saving
its citizens thousands Of dollars a

FOR THE OLDER MEN.

Since the great war began and life
blood has ebbed away with an almost
foolish recklessness the folk who re-
main behind the first line of trenches
think more Of health.
Men who were wont to neglect their
physical well-being have now "spruced
up and have taken Seener interest
in exercises conducive to bodily
strength.
Walter Camp. recognized as one Of
the grand old inen,-if he will permit
the adjective,-of the sporting game,
has set forth some simple rules Of
health which are in force in the
senior Service Corps and which have
been of much value to the older men
as well as the young.
Herewith is the list as printed in
the Red Cross Magazine:
Drink without eating and eat with
out drinking.
Five glasses of water day, none
with meals, will make you free of
DOCTORS
Warm feet and a cool head need
no physician.
A bath, cold if you please, hot if
you must, with a good rub, starts the
day right.
If you will save your smoke till
after luncheon, you'll never have
SIN oker's heart.
Wearing the same weight under
clothing the year round will save you
lot of colds.
Dress cool when you walk and warm
when you ride.
Your nose, not your mouth, was
given You to breathe through.
Clean skin, clean socks, clean under
wear every day.
Don't sit still with wet feet. Walk
until you have chance to change.
Never let a day pass without COW
ering four miles on foot.
See how high you can hold your
head and how deeply you can breathe
whenever you are out Of doors.
Hot water quick is the best thing
for a strain.
Short shoes and shoes that don't fit
cost a lot in the long run.
Getting mad makes black marks on
the health.
Envy, jealousy and wrath will ruin
any digestion.
When you rob the trolley company
of nickel by walking you add dime
to your deposit of health.
You'll never get the govt from walk
ing.
Sleep woos the physically tired man;
she fouts the mentally exhausted.
The best record Of golf is the record
she has made of restored health to
the middle aged.
Nature won't stand for overdrafts
any more than your bank.
Such, in short, is the plan Of the
Senior Service Corps, a plan easily
followed by any community; plan to
renew youth and to keep men fit and
efficient far into a hearty old age and
to provide a line of defense in the
organization of the nation comparable
with the first line of defense on the
most precarious of battlehelds.
