Washington, Sept. 2o.--Slowly the
worlds moral pinchers are closing ON
Hohenzollernism. From all corners ct
the earth today came indications that
the German rule is facing its inevitable
end destruction, ruin. Diplomatic ad-
vices here indicate that for the first
time the Teuton press is beginning to
warn OF a divided people-initial ad-
mission that the force Of President
wilson's appeal to the liberals is get

Hard upon these facts came the sud

In all these countries Germany has
powerful commercial holdings-treas-
ured possessions which she has battled
vigorously, though with laundering
diplomacy, to hold until after the war
when she would make the groundwork
for revival of her aims for commercial
political world supremacy. All these
dreams are now jeopardized by Argen-

STRIKES BLOW AT.

Prime Minister Of New
South Wales, Himself a
Labor Chief, s o u n d s
Warning to Americans.

New York, Sept. 2o.-Strikes which
interfere with Americas production OF
ships are "a blow at the vitals OF the
nation" w. A. Holman, prime minister
Of New South Wales. declared today in
an interview with the United Press.
Holman--labor chief of labor ad-
ministration-urgedc closer cooperation
between the workers and the govern
ment to prevent Observation-Disclosures,
and said arbitration should stand be-
tween the country and industrial trou-
bles which may lead to disaster. The
new South Wales premier Is en- route
home, after visit to the trenches.
NO ALLIANCE WITH KAISER.
''As a labor man Of lifelong stand
ing" he said, on the eve Of his depart
ure for Washington, II should be the
last to deprecate labor's assertion of
It's rights, but labor should shrink from
an alliance with the criminal designs
of the kaiser when arbitration machin-
cry Is available. Striking without first
using that machinery must be strongly
condemned.
II know nothing Of the merits OF the
strike on the Pacific coast. and it IL
not within the province Of visitor
like myself to attempt to Judge OF those
merits. But nothing could be more
fatal, II protracted and embittered
than the shipbuilding strike on your
west coast. Shipping is the prime nec-
essity of the allies at the present mo-
ment We of Australia and New Zeal
and, most distant of all the allies
deeply feel our dependence on ocean
commerce in this crisis. We can only
deplore any cessation Of shipbuildins
as of direct assistance to Germany's
criminal submarine campaign.
NEED OF UNDERSTANDING.
IT have had enough experience te
know that in large proportion OF
cases the workmen do not strike unit
there has been large measure Of exas'
peration. War times seem unfortu.
nateiy prolific in industrial misunder.
standings. The real need Is for a cleal
understanding by the government O
the workers, and for more confidence
by the workers in the governments.
Premier Holman emphasized that h
was speaking of the world shipping
situation, not specifically Of that in thu
United States, with which he Is unfa
miliar. He laid stress on the fact tina
the allies are held together by ship
ping-that the enemy has all the ad
vantage Of the central location, wher'
man and supplies may be quickly trans
ferred by rail.
Workers should take their griey
ances to the government before in1per
ling the nations cause by striking.

Omitted States staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON Dec '22.-The
United States is using a new and sub
tie weapon in warning against Ger
many-a propaganda of truth.
Nightly, there is a battle in the air
"a struggle of huge wireless appara
tus, centering at Sayville. L. T., Nauen
Germany, and Lyons, France, while
at the same time cables huzz with
messages intended for foreign con
sumption.
Formerly. it was the Nauen station
that spread misleading propaganda
as to Teuton purposes. Now, the
Sayville station under American con-
troll is shooting forth truthful mes
sages to offset this insidious matter,
sending to France for relay to Rus
STA and elsewhere.
Finding hat Germany was Outman-
euvering all the allies and the United
States in malicious propaganda. this
government determined or a definite
campaign of education, and to date
has labored chiefly in converting Rus
STA, Rumania, Austria, and Switzer-
land to Americas side.
Perhaps the most startling attempt
of any-though not so labelled-was
the presidents message to congress.
In this, the president sought to wean
Austria from the German side, as Of

OUL REPATRIATE
WIVES OF ALIENS
Miss Rankin and Women's
Clubs Want to Retain Am
erican Citizenship for
Sex.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-Miss
Jeanette Rankin of Montana today
urged before the house immigration
committee that American women
married to foreigners be repatriated.
She has introduced a bill for this pur-
pose and urged hat it be reported
f~avorably.
Miss Mary Wood of New York said
of tho Federation of women's Clubs
that they speak in behalf of the
plain James and Marys' rather than
for the 'Consuelos and ~Imogenes.'"
Miss Rankin said.
There is urgent need for this leg
islation If we are to protect the in
tegrity Of the franchise. Under the
present law, when an American wo-
man marries a foreigner, by that fact
she takes the nationality of her hus-
band and loses her own. In states
where she can vote she loses the
right to vote. Yet a foreign born
man who has come to this country
and becomes a citizen may send for
his foreign wife, and as soon as she
arrives she assumes the same rights
of citizenship as those of her husband
including his right to vote.
The inevitable result of this situ-
alton is to increase the number of UNI
intelligent votes and to decrease the
intelligent class. In a state like New
York. which recently has extended
the franchise to women and which
has a large population of n~aturalized
American ccitizens. with no small
number of American women married
to foreigners, it must be apparent
that the laws need correction"
