$4,000 for Municipal Coal Yard.
The council voted to make an appro-
priation of $4,000 to aid in the proposed
plan of the County Council of Defense
to have a municipal Coal yard in Ken
osha for next winter. The appropria-
tion is made as an emergency appro-
priation with the understanding that
it will be available to the council of
defense if it should vote to take up
the plan.
In addition to this the Mayor and
the City Attorney were directed to
make demand on the United States
Shipping Board at once demanding
that ships on the lake be forced to
bring cargoes from the east. Efforts
will be made to have all the cities
along the lake. shore join in this de-
mand on the shipping board and it
is thought that if the order is issued
that much will be done to relieve the
coal situation at lake ports and that
additional tonnage will be brought to
all of the harbors.

Sheer At Our Advertisers

Germany Is Planning to Get Ahead Of American
Statesmen.
From the Scientific American
Is Germany stealing markets while we
sleep? The question may seem absurd. With
her industries paralyzed by and cut off from
the outside world by an impenetrable wall of
steel, how could German products make any
Roadway in foreign markets? The answer is to
be found in two very significant paragraphs
published in printers Ink
One of these, from The Berlin Tageblatt Of
April g. reads as follows:
' If the despised Yankee nation think they
are going to win the war and force Germans
out of foreign markets there is nothing to
indicate this sentiment in their local and for
eign advertising Many of their advertise
ing agencies have closed their doors through
lack Of patronage. Their much talked of
ing contracts everywhere German mer-
chants have increased their advertising space
in neutral markets and at home 1t pays
to advertise in well as in peace. The
far-seeing merchant never stops advertis-
The other item, from The Berlin Lolal An
zeiger of April 20, reads:
Nothing is more acceptable to the German
nation than to note the fact that the North
Americans have abandoned advertising their
. goods in practically all Of the foreign mar
kets In the Latin American publications,
the market which they have always tried
hardest to acquire, there has been a heavy
Aires agency announces the fact that SO per
cent of their United States advertisers have
Cancelled their contracts. This is also true
the decrease in advertising there shows q
greater depreciation than in South and Cen
trail America. In the United States itself
there is not paper which has not suffered
a loss in its advertising lines and that de-
spite the fact that the last year showed an
diyiduals. In other words the war has ter
rorized the American nation, but not the
Germans; for a perusal of our periodicals
will show thai manufacturers still advertise
even If they have not the goods to deliver,
but with the idea Of keeping their names
before the public.
Evidently, despite the handicap of war, Ger
man manufacturers are not only looking for
ward to the resumption OF commercial activity
when peace is declared but are now actually
engaged in building foundation for future bus
mess
Apparently many, Of our own merchants have
overlooked the real significance OF publicity, Al

ton is liable to think of advertising only as a

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not Square
With The Views Of The Forum
le Manitoba Free Press:

The Manitoba Free Press:
The extremely effective campaign which is
Delng carried on, chiefly by The New York Tri-
pnne, against the Hearst newspapers for their
pro-Germansm has been helped along by two
recent occurrences. German propaganda carried
on over the French and American lines in France
with the aid Of balloons has included lately lit
evidence that the people Of the United States
are not united in their support Of the war Nat
orally much is being made Of this recognition
by the Germans Of Hearst their friend Even
more effective is the record of parallels between
the editorial declarations of the Hearst papers
and The New York Mail during the past three
years which has been established by quotations.
So consistently did those papers support one
another in making difficulties for the United
States government and giving Germany SYM
pathy and encouragement that fairly plausible
case in support Of theory Of common control
could be made out. The explanation Of The
Mails attitude has now been revealed When
this paper changed hands three years ago its
actual purchaser was the Imperial Government
Of Germany; and until the authorities INTERVIEWED
two weeks ago it was being edited under instruc-
suspicion is the intimate relations that existed
between Boo Pasha and Hearst while the
French traitor awaited in New York the trans
fer of the German money that was to enable him
to buy one Of the leading newspapers of Paris
in the interests Of German propaganda.
OF course Hearst Is now filling the heavens
with prOtestHtiOns Of his loyalty to the United
States government and devotion to the cause Of
the allies. These prOtestatiOns have not yet
had the result Of inducing the Canadian author
tiles to rescnd their prohibition of the bringing
Of Hearst newspapers into Canada. They are
still suspicious With. should say, very good

WHY RUSSIA sTARVEs.

Lord Robert Cecil, the British assistant
foreign secretary, has made the statement
that well informed Russians have told him
100000 Russians will die of starvation
this coming winter unless aid is extended.
That condition exists in the country that
normally should be the world greatest
exporter Of wheat and other foodstuffs.
Russia is facing actual famine and it's at
tendant evil, disease. Cholera and typhus
are prevalent and before another winter
passes, one-eighth Of the entire population
may die from these causes alone.
That is the example to the world Of what
revolution carried to extremes, anarchy
and class rule will do to nation Radi-
Gals in this country have rallied against
settled business conditions" as a mere
fetish They have maligned the constitu-
ton as mere shield for property rights
as opposed to human rights.
Russia has proven that the safety of
human rights is dependent upon the safety
of property rights. With property rights

THE CASE OF THOMAS MOONEY.

One of the glaring injustices possible
under the criminal laws of some of our
states, is brought to light by the Thomas
Mooney case in California.
Mooney was convicted of murder partly
on the strength of what was shown later to
be perjured testimony. But the criminal
laws of California made it impossible to
reopen his case for the submission of new
facts. The only appeal that could be
taken was on a point of law, and all ap-
peals on these grounds failed. The SEN
tence has been confirmed by the supreme
court, and Thomas Mooney will hang next
month unless pardoned by the governor Of
the state.
Whether or not Thomas Mooney will be
pardoned has become political issue in
California.
1t never should have been. Whether
Mooney is pardoned or not, justice cannot
be done him if he is innocent. He cannot es-
tablish his innocence, but can secure his
freedom only by the exercise of "clem-
ency".
The crime was a dastardly one-mur-
der by the use of bomb at the Prepared
ness Day parade in San Francisco.
On the one hand, many people in Cali
fornia insist that he is guilty and that to
pardon him would be subversion of the
courts to politics.
On the other hand the friends of
Mooney say he is innocent and the victim
of conspiracy to railroad him to the gal
lows.
The governor of the state is thus placed
between two fires. Either he will be ao.
cused of overriding the courts to get votes,
or he will be accused Of permitting an in
nocent man to hang because powerful in
Huences wanted him out of the way.
1t is problem that never should have
been forced upon the executive. It
should have been possible to reopen the
case and present the new evidence un-
earthed after the original conviction.

lust COMMON CRIMINALS.

Are German U-boat captains to be treat
ed as criminals instead of prisoners Of
wars
The negotiations between the British
and the Germans for the interchange Of
war prisoners have come to standstill
because of the, refusal of the British to
sgfVesup any German submarine command
ers.
The refusal may mean either of two
things. The submarine commanders are
highIystrained specialists, whom it is diff
cult to replace, and the British do not care
to add to the supply Of them, or the Brit
ish do not,consider them as ordinary pris-
oners Of war, but as international crimi-
nalsy whowil be punished for their crimes
Germany herself provided the precedent
for executing prisoners of war who were
found guilty Of violating the rules of war
fare, in the execution of Captain Fryatt
after an outrageous miscarriage of justice
in kangaroo court. Captain Fryatt was
executed for sinking German submarine
when he was in command of merchant
vessel Yet Germany had repeatedly at
tackled merchant vessels with her subma-
rines.
Bringing TO justice the U-boat murder
ers would be fitting answer to the muir
der of Captain Fryatt, and of Nurse
Cavell

BIT WE DON'T HAVE TO LOVE EN-

BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO LOVE 'EM.
With every word President Wilson said
about the mob spirit, The Forum heartily
agrees.
With his urging that pro-Germans be
left to the law The Forum is in hearty &C
cord.
But we have searched through the stir
ring appeal against mob violence and we
don't find that he has urged us to take
pro-Germans to our bosoms as blood
brothers, or that he has urged us to sit at
their feet and accept them as platform
orators for political party.
The meters to mob violence are the men
who force such speakers on loyal state
over such protests as the one Of soldiers
mothers. They are doubly the enemies Of
America-enemies for permitting such
men to spread their propaganda, and enc
mics for trying to provoke loyal citizens
to. take the law into their own hands.

OUR MOST VALUABLE GENERAL.

Probably the most valuable general to
The Allies on the western front is the
German Crown Prince.
The disastrous Verdun offensive was
begun by the Germans to establish the
reputation Of the Crown Prince. He was
to be the victorious leader, who was to
head the German armies in their march
into tho famous fortress.
Long after the attack had failed, it was
continued at terrible cost to the Ger
mans in men and supplies, to save the
shreds of the reputation Of the Grown
Prince.
Again along the Chemin des Danes he
led his armies to costly defeat.
And now he is in command Of the Ger
man armies in the Marine salient-nomin-
ally at least. To him was to fall the
credit Of breaking through the Allied line
and marching to Paris. The Germans
undoubtedly are holding on longer than
they would have held had any other gen
seral been in command The Crown Prince
must not be allowed to suffer disastrous
defeat.
Reserves, carefully accumulated for an
attack on the British under Prince Rup-
sprecht, are being hurried to the aid of the
Grown Prince.
Even German efficiency has to yield to

Russia, the richest nation in the world
from point of view of natural resources,
is facing actual famine and starvation be-
cause it lacks a government. And yet
there are still anarchists in America; there
are still those who want to abolish the con-
stitution. Nor is it necessary to go outside
