SEDITION BILL
MITIGATION IS
BEING FOUGHT
France Amendment, Re
ducing Scope, Opposed
by Justice.

q, The Department of Justice is fight
ing the France amendment" to the
sedition bill on the ground that it
would hinder prosecutions of German
propagandists.
During the consideration of the con-
ference report on the bill in the SEN
ate yesterday, Senator Overman pro-
duced a letter written by John Lord
o'Brien of the Attorney Generals
office.
The argument used by the depart
ment is that it would be compelled to
prove motive in instances where the
utterances, although really seditious.
might specifically appear innocent.
Concerning Individual Rights.
The France amendment" reads:
Nothing In this act shall be con-
strued as limiting the liberty or i'm
pairing the right of any individual
to publish or speak what is true with
good motives and with justihable
ends"
While this amendment has been re-
jected by the conferees upon the bill
there is strong movement on foot to
reinstate It.
Hiram johnson, Senator from Cali
fornia, made a strong speech when
the conference report came up for ac-
ton. He contended vigorously that
elimination of the amendment meant
suppression ofiree speech
...- Issue fs sIdetraeIed.
Senator Overman, who was In
charge of the conference report. had
It sidetracked in the middle of the
discussion. 1t will come up again to-
day.
The bill is that prohibiting criticism
of the army and navy, uttering words
of comfort to Germany. and prevent
ing criticism intended 10 impede the
conduct of the war.
The letter, which was presented
yesterday, said the department. held
that. the France provisO would very
seriously interfere with the prosecu-
ton Of cases, and hoped it would be
eliminated
Extracts from the letter follow:
THE experience of the department
justifies the conclusion that there is
far more danger to the country in pro-
German propaganda than there is in
| more outspoken dislcyal utteranCes.
! This propaganda rarely takes the
shape Of open abuse OF the United
| States or open advocacy Of the cause
| of Germany. and II is seldom. IL ever,
possible to prove that the propaganda
has a German source; that Is, to prove
that the financing Of it comes from a
! German source.
"ReIigiOus" Propaganda Danger.
THE most dangerous type OF propa'
ganda used in this country is religious
! pacificism, that is opposition to the
war on the ground that it is opposed
TO the Word of God. This is the type
of prOpa ganda which was extensively
| used in Weakening the Italian armies
There are many other types o
dangerous and effective propaganda
which on their face appear TO he based

she saw what would happen, that in
the reaction from his depression he
would turn to Genevieve Mallory and
marry her.

too soft and innocent. Once you told
me that you couldn't keep step with

He took a deep breath, seemed to
shake himself out Of 1t, and smiled
cheerfully upon her.
"We'll put our treasure-trove on the
sled and 60 back to your friends" he
continued briskly. Tomorrow I'll send
men up to scour the hills for North
rup's body"
Sheba drew the canvas back over the
face of the dead man. AS she followed
Macdonald back to the trail, tears filed
her eyes. She was remembering that
the white, singing death that had
crept upon these men SO swiftly had
missed her by a hairs breadth. The
strong, lusty life had been stricken
out of the big Cornishman and prob
ably Of his partner In crime. Perhaps
they had left mothers or wives or
sweethearts to mourn them.
Macdonald relieved Elliot at break
ing trail and the young man went back
to the gee-pole. They had discarded
mukluks and wore. moccasins and
snowshoes. It was hard, slow work,
for the trail-breaker had to fight his
way through snow along the best route
he could find. The moon was high
when at last they reached the road

THAT'S a double, left-handed compii-

say anything that will hurt my feelings
today, Di. Isn't that your baby hear

Diane gave him the few minutes

Macdonald set his face. "You're

alibi."
Elliot had risen. Sheba stood beside
him, her hand in his. She spoke quietly.
'It's the truth. Believe 1t or not as
you please. We care nothing about
that"
The stab Of her eyes, the carriage of
the slim, plant figure with it's sugges-
ton Of fine gallantry, challenged her
former lover to do his worst.
On the battered face of Gordon was

heart stood by him he did not care If
he were charged with high treason. 1t
was worth all it cost to feel the
warmth Of her brave, impulsive trust.
The deep-set eyes of Macdonald
clinched with those of his rival. "You
cached the rest of the gold, suppose"
he said doggedly.
With a Tilt Of his shoulders the
younger man answered lightly: "There

turned on his heel.
The rife lay where Sheba had
dropped 1t when she ran to gather her
stricken lover into her arms. Macdon-
aid picked 1t up and strobe over the
brow Of the hill without a backward
look. He was too proud to stay and
watch them. It was impossible to es-
cape him in the deep snow that filled
the hill trails, and he was convinced
they would attempt nothing of the
kind.
The Scotsman felt for the first time
In his life old and spent. Under ire
mendous difficulty he had mushed for
two days and had at last run his men
down. The lust of vengeance had sat
on his shoulders every mile of the way
and had driven him feverishly for
ward. But the salt that had lent a
SAVIOR to his passion was gone. Even
though he won, he lost. For Shcba had
gone over to the enemy.
With the fierce wilIfulness of his
temperament he tried to tread under
foot his doubts about the guilt of Holt
and Elliot. Success had made him
arrogant and he was not Il good loser.
