Information has reached this coun-
try that q German bombing plane cap
.tured in France was foundsto be pilot
ed by . girl who declared that she
had been forced, under penalty Of
death, to learn to operate an air ma
chine and to enter the aviation ser.
vice at the front. Other girls, she
said, were being compelled to operate
planes under the same circumstances.
The incident Of the girl aviator
serves not only to verify former inn
pressions Of Prussianism but to indi-
cate what resources vet lie at PrusA
sia'ss call before she submits to the
inevitable. It serves but again to
show that there is no extremity to
which kultur will not reach, no depth
to which Prussian chivalry will not
stoop. II kultur can manufacture
commercial oils and fertilizer out Of
the bodies Of it's dead, why can it not
train its women to take the place Of
fallene men in the ranks? If it can
murder, torture and outrage women,
why can it not craft them into a war
service which, while most hazardous,
is best calculated to spare men for
the harder task Of land fighting?

Ten RULES FOR
D|Sl0YAuSTS

Almost every day in talking over
the war situation some one hands out
a cline of talk" that borders on dis
loyalty. Anything that tends to re-
tard OF discourage our war prepare
ton and at the same time lends COM
fort to the enemy, is disloyal. In the
interest of more efficiency and to illus
trate where talk tends to be disloyaI
the methods Of the most successful
practitioners Of disloyalty has been
condensed into ten rules for carrying
on traitorous propaganda at the least
personal risk. Most all Of these rules
so accurately describe the arguments
which nearly everybody has heard
from one or more of the t~raitorous-
minded that they are worth frequent
perusal. The rules are:
1. Assert on every occasion that
"Wall Street" made the war. Never
mind explaining when, how or why.
2. Get in all the sneers you can at
any profession of ideal motives. If
you can find any flaw in our democ-
racy say that tive are just as bad an
autocracy as Germany" Place the
war in as sorded a light as possible.
8. It is dangerous to denounce the
United States directly. But rake his
tory from end to end for mud to throw
at the allies. Especially, twist the
lions tail.
4. Profess great concern lest send
ing food to Europe will starve Amer
lea. Support every embargo move
ment that applies to the allied
nations and none that does not.
5. If the president asks for any ex.
tension Of power rave about dictator.
