Influences More
 Dangerous Than Spies Says World
New York World, July 103

E New York World, July 103
 s.This whole hquor matter has put the food bill into a mlsadle, conn plains Senator Simmons, chairman Of the Senate Finance Committee. Was there ever any other object on the part of its sponsors?
 It is certain that the liquor ques- ton was not raised by men who are patriotically concerned about the food legislation that is vital to the win ming of the war. It was not raised by men who are interested primarily in the defeat of Germany and the overthrow of a mtrderous autocracy. It was not raised by men who be- Flieve in nationally unity of senti-
 nerf toward the great cause in which the United States is enlisted. It was not raised by men who are trying to aid democracy in battling down in- perialism. It was not raised by men who are seeking to give victory to the American flag without needaess waste of blood and treasure.
 Unless the object was to muddie the food bill, there is no apparent object whatever in this miserable exhibition of fanattcism. hypoc1isy and treach- cry,
 Every day in which this controver- sy continues, new difficulties and ob- stacles are raised against the food control and conservation which are essential to the United States and its Allies. To have been fully effective the bill should have been passed be- fore Juhy I, and the longer the delay continues the greater the problem with which the food administration must deal. Incidentally. the greater the problem the more profit various interests can extort from helpless consumers.
 Congress has not been honest in this legislation. It has not been honest even with the prohibitionists whom it has pretended to coddle, for they have been used to mask the op- erations of food speculators and ex- tortionists who dared not fight the bill in the open. The enemies of the measure are still working under cover, and with characteristic fatuo- usness the Irohibttionists in Congress and out of Congress have been play ing the game of as 'sordid q crew as ever plotted for it's own pockets.
 This controversy can be straighten- ed out very quickly if the Senate wishes to straighten it out. The vary ing notes on the different liquor amendments indicate no sincerity of |cOVtSllOu WuSltSNcE< .Ou b1tS SODjSSt VI proh Dbition and are additional testi- mony to the sinister motive back of the attempt to make the measure so unpopular that it will be unenforce- able. The compromise which was sug- gested rby the President generally agreed to was fair arlii just. It was not given up in the Senate in the public interest. It was not thrown aside for the good of the country. Unless the Sena4e disposes of this measure without further delay the American people may rest assured that there are influences at work in Washington which are far more dan gerous. to the United States in war than anything that has yet been done by German spies.

'Jageblatt" Editors
Attack Indictments
Demur to Bills Charging
Treason and Violation of
Espionage Act

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 20. -. De-
murrers against their indictment we're
fled in the Federal District Court to-
day when the five members OF the
staff Of the Philadelphia "Tageblatt'
were called on for arraignment on
charges Of making and conveying false
reports to promote the success of the
enemies Of the United States, and two
Of them on the charge of treason.
Counsel for the defendants contend
ed that the indictments did not show
sufficient evidence 10 warrant the case
going before jury because none OF
the courts charged the defendants with
any indictable offence against the laws
OF the United States; that the indict-
ments did not set forth true copies
of tho reports alleged to have been
Reasonable and tending to promote the
success OF enemies of the United
States: that the acts alleged TO have
been committed we're not such as TO
constitute the making and conveying
Of false reports with the intent Of
promoting the success o. the army, and
that each Indictment contained more
than one offence against the laws OF
The Unitri States.
Argument will be heard on the de-
murrers probably next week.
Tho defendants charged with treason
are Louis Werner, editor in chief, and
Martin Darkow. managing editor. These
two are also CHARGED along with Peter
cchaefcr, PRECEDENT; Paul Vogel, treas
urcr. and Herman Lemke, business
manager Of the "TaGoblatt," with
violating the espionage act.
