that the Bolsheviki were prevented from

they willingly avoided the German trap.

"The Christian Science Monitor" issued
this warning:
at does not stand to reason that the
American people will put up indefinitely and
patiently with plots and conspiracies and
their results. An impression seems to have
taken root in the pro-German consciousness
that Americans are too easy going to defend
themselves or to rise up and effectually
sweep conspiracy, spying, sedition and trea-
son from the land. 1t cannot be said that
there is no ground for the formation or the

The brazen daring of the German de-

morale that some characterizations of the
fraud by the American press are classic.

"The Philadelphia Public Ledger" "stands

Il last week has called attention to
manv similar cases of violent action by
..vjrilante' mobs throughout the country,
and has occasioned considerable press
comment. most of it directed in criticism
of lax governmental methods as the un-
deriving cause Of such outbreaks.
Won Hagen is a naturalized citizen Of
Plussian descent, lawyer, and has
figured heretofore in the news as an al

he headed the document with 'Deutsch-

sentiments. The papers thus marked

board, but the Department Of Justice re-
piled that it was poweress to act IN the
matter Thereupon a band of armed and
masked men visited his house, dragged
him out and beat him severely. He was
also compelled to kiss the flag and retract
his statements.
Similar incidents have happened within
particularly in the Mississippi Valley; the
cases of the wholesale tarrng and feath-
ering of /. W. W. members in Oklahoma
and the horsewhipping of the Rev. Mr
Bigclow, near Cincinnati, are still fairly
fresh in the public mind
To cite a few other recent cases:
Audubon, Iowa, irate citizens seized two
pro-Germans, the Rev. w. A. Starck anc
Fred Tcnekheig. for alleged unpatrlotlt
utterances, placed ropes around then
nechs and dragged one of them some dis
tancc, threatening to hang them. Starcl
was finally released in response to hi

lowed TO 20 when he signed check for ;
g. 900 Liberty bond Both, however
were compelled to leave town.
Not long ago citizens, Jed by tow
