FOREIGN OFFICERS
TESTIFY IN TRIAL

Two officers who have seen
service I'm the armies of Amer
ica's allies were witnesses for
the L. $. government In the
federal court Friday after
noon in the trial Of Franz
BOstrom, socialist proprietor
: Of the Liberty book store,
813 1-2 Pacific ave-, indicted
under the seditiOn act on
charges Of attempting to
cause characterization, dislOy-
atty and mutiny In the army
and to Obstruct enlistment.
Capt. Mawdsley of the British
army, and Sergt. Mirat of the
French army, now stationed at
Camp Lewis, were called to the
stand to prove that statements
contained in the pamphlet "Shang-
haied Into the European War;
formerly on sale at Bostrom s
book store, are deliberate false
hoods, intended to obstruct re-
cruiting.
This book, written by Daniel II.
Wallace and published by the
League of Humanity in Chicago,
contains bitter denunciation of the
British army, declares England
is an arch enemy OF America, and
charges British soldiers with afro
cities.
1t also declares there is bad
feeling between the British SOL
diers.
Wallace, the writer, claims to
have been "shanghaied" into the
British army by duplicity.
Mawdsley on Stand.
Bostroms trial promises to be
the most spectacular as wei as the
most bitterly fought, of all the Sc
dition cases which have been tried
this week and in which the govern
ment, represented by U. S. Attor-
ney Fishburne and Maj. Strong,
judge advocate at Camp Lewis,
has batted 1000 percent in convic-
tons so far.
Capt. Mawdsley's testimony was
to prove that the British army has
the same kind of discipline and
moral regulations as has the
American army. Mawdsley, blunt
and outspoken, started the fire
works.
Sergt. Mirat was put on the
stand to show the falsehood of
the statement that there was bad
feeling between the French and
English.
Bitter Fight Likely.
1t was learned Friday that gov
eminent officials and military
authorities at Camp Lewis have
been hunting for Wallace, author
of the pamphlet, but so far have
been unable to locate him.
A bitter legal battle is expect
ed over the question whether
statements condemning one Of
Americas allies. and Encouraging
enlistment in an allied army, can
make Bostrom guilty of obstruct-
ing American recruiting.

All is not well in Tacoma's shipbuilding stu

While Seattle and some of our other neighbOrs

for the two largest, have not been up to the high

Labor troubles have been holding back the
work; that is another open secret.
1t is imperative that the fuss be Strengthened
out and that every available fOOt-tOn of Taco
mas industrial strength be exerted toward the
launching of bottoms.
We are told that union leaders are exerting
pressure at Washington to prevent the award
ing of contracts to non-unOn yards. We hope
the statement is false, for that would be unpatri-
otic, despicable work. The United States must
have ships, and whoever can build them should
have every encouragement Tacoma, further
more, deserves to have the work Any union
leader who would try to block the construction
of vessels for the emergency fleet corporation
here is double traitor, a traitor to his country
and to his home town.
On the other hand, this is no time for shipyard
managers to show the bull-neek. The closed
shop is the modern industrial arrangement.
Whether these shipyard owners like it or not it
is up to them to getin step with the rest Of the
country, so that construction on the maximum
scale may leap forward.
Ships and more ships is the greatest single
factor toward an allied victory. Let no selfish
interests block the ways.
