CHICAGO JOURNAL--The kaiser's
plot to embroil the United states with
Japan and Mexico surprises no one
who knows the history of the kaiser
farniIy. BY force and fraud,
by arms and intrigue, with trcachcry
that a Mohawk would reprobate and
courage that {. Spartan would admire,
tho HohenzolIerns have worked their
way up from a fourth class principal
ity to a position from which they
grasped at and all but clutched the
mastery of the earth. The present
kaiser has earned the hatred OF all
mankind. There can be no peace any
where upon the planet until this fam
lily of human panthers is put down.
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS--Herr
Zimmerman is drumming up armed
enemies of his nation wherever he
thinks they may be found.
The question which Americans must
face is question of national safety
The pacifist congress is trying TO
stop an avalanche which has already
fallen. 1t is fooling with loaded gun
under the silly pretensc that the gun
is not loaded. The American nation
must meet the situation with n firm
alliance with the nations which arc re-
sisting in arms tn same great menace.

Sabotage of Germans and AuStianS on Vessels in New York HarbOr
 Is Unparalleled.
RUIN BEST OF SHIPS
Secret Instructions Were Given to TeutOnS in United States to
 Wreck Vessels.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6:-Thirty mil lion dollars worth of damage has been done to thirty-One German and Austrian ships in the New York harbor. according to the Sun.
 The Sun says that sabotage on g scale so magnificent, is without parallel in the history of the world.
 Without the slightest hesitation and on the mere hint from high off cials. whose hints are never sighted, persons in authority were ordered to axe and crowbar the finest pro- ducts of Hamburg and Bremen.
 Last Wednesday, says the Sun, a German in street clothes, stepped quietly aboard every Hamburg and North German Lloyd liner in port, bearing a code word that meant scrapping $8O,OOO,OOO worth of splendid engines.
 The Sun has information from men of unquestionable veracity and honor as to the extent of dismant, ling and as to the general methods employed.
