continue, if in less bold manner, the same
old insidious policy. Since the arrest OF
five editors, officials and employees Of the
philadelphia Tageblatt," however, the
German-langusge press hardly misses an
opportunity to emphasize what it pleases
to call its loyalty to the United States.
The mississippi Batter" the Sunday
edition of the "Westliche Post" OF ST.
Louis, for instance, carried this editorial
under the caption Different Languages
but One Loyalty:
an connection with the charges against
! the philadelphia Tageblstt,' it is timely for
| the German-language press OF the Uniteo

principles for which it stands. For no loyal
/ American, Of whatever ancestry, whether
/ German, Austrian or other nationality, would
| be willing to subscribe to any policy which

ut is, unfortunately fact that since the

ers in loyalty to and patriotism for the land

ers sought and found refuge from political
or economic oppression. That the West
/ liche Post and other leading German-lan-
guage papers have during ell this critical
period demonstrated their unfaltering and
absolute loyalty to the United States gov
eminent is nothing to boast of, for it IS
only a plain duty that could be ignored only
by press and a people that have no clear
conception or understanding Of the meaning
of loyalty"
The quality of the "Westliche Posts
"unfaltering and absolute loyalty to the
United States government" may be judged
by the following extract from an ar
ticle bitterly attacking Eleutherios Vent
zelos, the Greek statesman who prevented
the autocratic King Constantine from join
ing the Central Powers in defiance of the
Greek constitution and the will of the peo-
Pile:

. One understands, on account OF the
quoted statistics, why Lord beresford ex-
plcitly stated in the English House OF Com
mons that he regards the situation very
dangerous one. sober judgment on the
situation on the seas certainly does not JUS
tify the English statement that the war Will
be continued until Germany is overpowered
and territory is taken away from the German
Empire"
What impression the New Yorker
Schwaebische Wochenblatt" really intends
to convey to its readers by the above
quoted correspondence may be seen from
the following editorial notice: "Our read
ers find elsewhere articles and news on
the U-boat war, from which they may
draw their own conclusions"

these propositions have originated with the
persons making them from the theory, ad-
yanced not long ago by Canadian CORE

language and its use have a brutalizing effect,
or whether they have been made for some
other more or less idiotic reason. does not

those friendly souls that in this big country
there are living a great many people who do

Of the President and the State Governors
regarding barred zones, registration, census,

"The prisoner Kornloff makes it very
uncomfortable for the Russian govern
ment. He would be more welcome as a
suicide" again sneers the "Westliche
Post" and the same paper does its bit To
create the impression that the Russian
soldiers are brutal, stating that Russian
soldiers have murdered twenty German
prisoners of war on general suspicion Of
arson"
The "Volksbatt und Freiheitsfreund,"
of Pittsburgh even insinuates that politi-
cal adversaries have been assassnated by
the Russian government II writes:
Boris Stiirmer, the Premier before the
last under the Gar, died, it is reported
explicitly, from urenia. In his bed, in

The "New- Yorker Schwaebische Wochen-
blatt" printed in eXtenso the speech made
by Vice Chancellor Heferich in the Reichs-

on the same subject. The Stuttgart cor
respondence reads in part as follows:

N Opprobrium

Mr.. Muir, the prosecutor, In his opening
statement, paid his respects TO the muir
dered man in terms Of opprobrum which
hardly could have been exceeded by the de-
PENDANTS counsel.
In spite Of the judges severe summing
up, the jury evidently had its own ideas
Of justice and acted accordingly. In the
opening for the defence Attorney Simon
declared:

but only 10 justice. Lieutenant Malcolm
acted the only course open TO him to save
not only his wife's honor, but her body and
soul from destruction at the hands of an
Infamous scoundrel."
Justice Mccarthy in summing up vigor-
ously attacked the "unwritten law"
"'The unwritten law his honor declared,
opposes the elementary principles of Brit

property in his wife's body; that she is
mistress OF her own destiny, and if she
chooses TO give herself 70 another the hus-

In spite Of this summing W, the jury
ordered the defendant acquitted"
"The St. Louis Republic" is of opinion
that

wife Is stolen from him while he defends

true when the thief who was killed by the

Mr.. STERLING-H the Senator
will excuse me, I should like to yield,

and the Senator from Alabama spoke
while ago little impatieatly about all
the time being consumed. He feared it
would prevent consideration OF his
amendment. So I hope the Senator
will excuse me If prefer to proceed.
Mr.. JONES, of Washington-We
cannot win the war by concealing the
facts and dangers; we cannot win it by
Boosting that we will win it. To win it
will require every ounce OF man power,
every ounce of money power, and every
ounce of resource that our people and
this nation can get together.

Progress in securing $4,000 by
popular subscription to complete
the fund of 100000 to place the
Tacoma General hospital on a firm
financial basis is being made in
Tacoma this week.
The campaign is being conduct
ed quietly, and the merits of the
hospital as a Tacoma institution
are being outlined to Tacoma bus
ness men by the various commit
tees at work.
II. A. Rhodes. who has given
the hospital much attention, says
that it is an institution that is
deserving of support and a cre dit
to the city.
THE Tacoma General hospital
not only brings business to the
city, but it is proving a desirable
advertising medium" said Rhodes.
Patients are coming from all
over the northwest. The physic-
ians do not hesitate to recommend
the hospital since it has an estab-
lished reputation for the efficient
handling of cases of all Kinds and
the results obtained for patients
come from proper care and modern
equipment"
A financial report covering the
work of the week will be made
next Monday. 1t is believed that
the fund will be closed within 10
days.
