 United States District Attorney J. w. Preston, who presented the evil dence to the federal grand jury after months of investigation, expected that many of those indicted would voluntarily surrender today and se- cure release on heavy bail, which, it is believed will be $10,000 in each case.
 In addition to the indictments of conspiracy to overthrow British gov ernment in India, true bills were re- turned against more than two score others throughout America and for eign countries charging plots to vio- late American neutrality during the first two years of the war by sup plying German warships in Pacific waters with food and ammunition from San Francisco.

HINDUS ARRESTED
 FOR INDIAN PLOT

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24-Six Hindus were arrested in a raid on the offices of the Hindustan Gadar, a vernacular newspaper, today by a posse of deputy marshals led by Uni ted States Marshal James B. Holo- han. Four of the men were among those named in more than 100 in- dictments returned last week against San Francisco business and shipping men, German consular agents and Hindus, charging worldwide con- spiracy to foment in America an up- rising against British rule in India. The other two have not been indict- ed.
 The officers searched the $10,000 residence of Ram Chandra, editor of the Gadar, who is under indictment as one of the ringleaders of the alleg- ed conspiracy, and now at liberty on bail, without discovering new evil

GETTING THE KAISER'S COAT

The members of the Belgian dip lomatic commission which is in the United States has learned the value and expressiveness of American slang and is, in street parlance, making a hit with the people of the United States by employing slang phrases in describing certain phases of the war. In Seattle a few days ago Baron Mon- chier, head of the mission, broke the ice of formality by saying that Uncle Sam had "got the kaiser's goat"
 We all hope that the imperial man. ny has been tagged and numbered, and have no doubt that by the time Uncle Sam "sees it through-in the words of H. G. Wells-all the Uni ted States has set out to do will have been accomplished.
 It is indisputable that much of the internal dissension which is causing the kaiser to burn the midnight cleo tricity is due to Americas participa- tion in the war. Even Germany, in spite of the censorship, must realize the United States has been actuated solely by moral considerations and not by a sordid desire for territorial or momentary advantage in entering. The attitude of the reichstag on the submarine issue, which directly brot this country into the conflict, shows that in spite of the studied effort of the Hohenzollerns to ignore our part in the struggle, the weight of our moral and material strength is hay ing it's effect.
 There is undoubtedly a growing feeling in Germany that the unre- stricted submarine program was a fatal mistake-for it is that which enlisted the richest and potentially the most powerful nation in the war. If there was any delusion as to how fully America would throw her en- tire resources into the fray, it no longer exists, and that probably is a consideration which is causing con- siderable worry in Germany.
 Won Falkenhayn, the former war minister, once said at a war council at the kaiser's headquarters, in re- ply to a question as to what effect submarine war would have upon the non-belligerents: Damn the neu- trals; win the war" His policy was

Dynamite on Danish Ship

HAVANA, July 24.-In unloading coal from the Danish steamship Newa which arrived yesterday from New port News. dock laborers this morn ing found a package of dynamite with a fuse attached. On examination the dynamite was found to have been made up in the form of cartridge such as used in the coal mines. A few weeks ago an explosion in coal which was being unloaded from the American steamer Lackawanna was the cause of two deaths.

PLANT OF DENMARK

Of the three Scandinavian coun- tries which, at the outset of the war, decided to cooperate in establishing a common policy toward questions arising out of the war, Denmark has been regarded as the most Pro-Ger- man. It is the belief of the observers however, that the majority of the people are against the German war program, just as the common people are in all other countries outside the central group of powers, but probab- ly the percentage of people who have been brought under the German in- fiuence there is greater than in either Norway or Sweden.
 It is not entirely surprising that the Danish royalty is cheek by jowl with the kaiser as royalty is in Swe- den and Spain-and this notwith- standing a comparatively recent ser ious difference between Denmark and Prussia. It is fact not entirely pee uliar that dynasties have much in common.
 There is some argument on Dem marks side in explaining the difficult ties of maintaining neutrality. The government organ points out that if the country joins the entente allies it will suffer the fate of Belgium and if it throws its lot with the kaiser it is placed in imminent danger of starving to death-for which it is in- clined to blame the United States more than any of the other allies. But in its plaint against this country it does not take into consideration that America desires only that any foodstuffs shipped from here to Dem mark or other neutrals, shall not reach Germany, as they have been doing in the past. British statistics show that Germany is receiving enuf fats from neutrals to maintain a big army. It is not surprising that the Danish people, who are tempted by high prices if not by sympathetic conditions, drive bargain when the opportunity offers.
 In connection with Denmark's as- sertion that the United States has never been neutral, one wonders whe- ther the policy of that country, in permitting German U-boats to use it's territorial waters, is neutral. It's minister at Washington defended this practice by saying it was not prohib- ited by The Hague convention. If the practice is not in violation of neu- trality certainly the allies have the right to use Danish waters in their search for enemy submarines-and the test may come soon.
 We have the profoundest sympathy in this country for the small neu- trals which are at Germany's door step but the United States govern ment cannot permit them to aid and abet its enemy. For that reason it's embargo program, which is not in- tended to starve them but to guard it's own interests, is warranted by the {, dictates of war and justice.

To q Belgian Field Flower.

All, little field flower,
Your name unknown.
Into this blood and ruin sown
BY the winds alone,
For no other hand
Could flower this broken, defowered
land
with your face as fair
And your smile as sweet
AS though you had come from tho
soil to meet
Only the sunshine and the rain
To bring you to bud and to blossom
again
What do you know OF the dead around
So close to your feet In the bloody
ground?
Skeleton walls and chimneys gaunt.
That shadow the byways which you
haunt,
Mean nothing to you, you blossom fair.
Though devastation be everywhere.
What do you know Of War that sweeps
All else but you from the plains and
sleeps.
Leaving you CHEEKY and unafraid
In the color and fragrance OF peace
arrayed?
Dear little field flower,
You smile from the sod.
And the wasted and hcart-sore
See you and thank God.
