"THE TWILIGHT ZONE"

Times Republican: The Knoxville
Express discussing the lynching at
Collinsville, Illinois, says:

vile, Ill) mob was drunk when it
hanged the German who talked too
much Maybe it should not have
hanged him. but he will not offend
again. Perhaps his offense was no
worse than good many in every
community that pass unpublished. Be
that as it may, the occurrence calls
attention to the unwisdom of dwelling
in a twilight zone of sedition. No mob,
however drunken, is going to hang d
man known to be patriotic and out

lions of right Impulses gone wrong,
but the impulse is, in almost every

are the legitimate result of too little
Impulse on the part of the state and
too much impulse on the part of the

horse sense he would have been alive

for it. The man who evinces active OPP

ENGLAND HATERS.

There are a few people in every
community, some right here in Web
ster City, who appear to be so pre-
.udiced against England that they CAN
not view the causes of this war with
clear vision. No matter what one
thinks of England. England is now
fighting for right principles and she
is fighting with us. There is no ques-
tion of the justice of the cause of the
United States, Frar CO. Belgium, Serbia
and others of the allies and unless a
man or woman sympathizes with Ger
many in this war they cannot find it
in their hearts to condemn Fnglard for
the part she is taking. People in
America who hate England more than
they love the United States ought to
give their patriotism critical eXami-
nation. There is certainly something
radically wrong with it.

Critics who are restless because
the British navy does not attack the
German fleet have little conception
of the real situation. Nobody outside
of the navy knows the dangerous
nature of the undertaking. If there
appears to be a fighting chance to
win, the British navy would not hes
itate day. The men commanding
that navy, as we'll as the sailors, have
all the daring and courage necessary
and would make the attempt if there
were promise of success. Nobody in
this country is licensed to criticise
any OF the armies or navies of our
allies. During the almost four
years of war they have demonstrated
their courage and dependability and
can be relied upon in the future to
do the right thing at the right time.

1914, in which he declares positively
and without qualification that Eng
land pursued a consistent peace
policy and Germany q persistent war
policy, that Germany Inundated
France and Russia, that Germany's
greatest mistake of all was in back
ing the Austrian war policy, that
England had lent active aid to the
extension of German colonies, that
Sir Edward Grey had sought an
understanding with Germany on the
same basis as the Anglo-French en-
tente. Prince Lichnowsky knew what
was going on, for he was in a position
where he could not help knowing.
The fact that he did not expect his
memorandum to become public until
years in the future proves his good
faith.
With such evidence at hand, con-
firming Germanys disclosed territor-
ial ambitions, the case is settled. The
truth is established. No man with an
open mind can doubt it.
But individuals are so constructed
that case may be absolutely prov
ed, and still they are Influenced in
their action fly former beliefs and
especially old prejudices. 1t is much
easier to accept a proposition con-
trary to ones former belief than it
is to accept fellowship with the
original holders of the true PROPOSE
ton.
Therefore, even though the justice
of the entente cause in 1914 be proved
beyond doubt or cavil, it is necessary
to deal with old prejudices.
Prejudice against our allies must
be fought by the individual, who feels
it, and if he can absolutely root it
out he must control it, for the sake of
our boys in France.

WHAT is THERE TO 1T?

The country is wondering how much
truth there is in the reports from
Washington to the effect that some
public officials and others in the en-
ploy of the government have subjected
themselves to criminal prosecution. 1t
has been stated upon the floor Of the
senate by men of irreproachable char
acter that the failure to keep pace
with airship plans is not wholly due to
incapacity and inability to get the work
done In the course of an address
Senator Brandegee read day or two
ago telegram from Gutzon Borglum,
whose report on the aircraft program
created sensation, denying insinua-
tons that he was financially interested
in aeroplanes, and asserting that
"aeronautic production is still in the
clutches of the ring and no Roadway
will be made by MIR. Ryan John d.
Ryan, new director of aircraft prOduc-
ton or any one else until it is broken
up"
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, CON-
menting on various charges that have
been made regarding the aeroplane
program, aroused the senate with the
declaration that if the situation is as
bad as it appears there at least were
indications of misuse of hundreds of
millions of public money, and that the
funds could be followed, as was done
by the government in the Oberlin NJ
Carter case, and recovered.
"If the reports printed and hintod
at" Senator Knox said, indicate any
thing like the scope of the situation, it
is too broad for mere criminal in
vestigation. Is it too great for the ma
chinery even of the department Of
justice"
If the situation warrants the use of
such language il is inGeeG very serious
and it is time the country should be-
come aroused. 1t was expected soon
after the outbreak of the war that tn:
United States would have 10000 air
planes in France by the first Of July
next. yet senator's state that up tC this
time only twenty such machines have
been sent to the battle front.

THE KAISER'S PURPOSE.

Times-Republican: Grinnell College
put itself right again as to this war
and before a Marshalltown office
when President Main introduced
Professor Schoffield from Harvard
temporarily assigned to Grinnell Col
lege, for a patriotic address. Profess
sor Schoffield recently addressed 49,
900 people in one audience in st. Paul
and made sixteen addresses in the
recent liberty loan campaign in st.
Paul and Minneapolis. He is conced-
eddy too big a celebrity to be book
ed by the Marshalltown club for a
private club dinner address had not
President Main arranged it and those
who know Grinnill College and Presi-
dent Main think that they can see a
design in the arrangement to repair
DR.. Steiner's mistake on a previous
date. h.a
At any rate the club listened to a
most inspiring address by man who
had dined and conversed with the
German kaiser as to his war policy
and purpose seven years before the
war was started by the German gov
eminent to dominate the earth.
Professor schoffield came home
from his assignment to Berlin Univer-
sity in 1907 convinced that the kaiser
was determined to start war for
world dominion some day. He told
Roosevelt what he heard from the
kaiser's own lips and Roosevelt got
into this war from the very start be-
cause he knew what the kaiser's pur-
pose was to be. President Taft had
the same information from Yale
sources. Harvard College got into
the war at the start, fifty-eight Har-
ward men having given up their lives
in the allied armies before President
Wilson ceased to be too proud to
fight. Seven thousand Harvard men
are now in the army and navy.
During the professors stay in Ber-
lin he was informed by the kaiser
that it was the deliberate purpose Of
the German government to have an
army and navy so strong that no
nation would dare oppose my will"
He read from the kaiser's own ad-
dress to his troops that the kaiser
considered himself appointed by God
to rule the world for the German
people because the German people
were chosen people and he was their
emperor. Professor Schoffield cited the
information which had shown him
that it was the deliberate purpose of
the German rulers to terrorize the
world with their frightfulness in
order that the world might be con-
quered by fear Atrocities, he said,
were not the bestial excuses of
German soldiers, but the deliberate
and long prearranged plans of the
military command to terrorize their
enemies.
The kaiser was pictured as very
humane kind of a person, at once
able and high enough minded to have
the exaltation of Germany for his
purpose but insane in his desire to
dominate the world by force and cruel
and fairly diabolical in his determine
tion to accomplish that purpose.
Without saying SO boldly it was evil

Germany can have peace whenever
she wants it upon fair basis, but she
can never have it upon the basis of
German victory. At least not until
France is crushed, Great Britain is re-
duced to dependency and the United
States is licked. 1t is not within the
power of Germany and her allies to
accomplish these things and sooner or
later her people will realize it. When
that time comes the military party of

SOUND LOGIC.

Des Moines Register: Germany pro
fits by every word against England
in the United States or in France, be.
cause mutual confidence is the basis
of the western alliance, and conf.
dence is vastly strengthened by
friendship.
More good than ill can be spoken
of the relations of the United States
and England.
Rather than remember the two
wars we have fought, let us remem.
Der the hundred years of peace whose
anniversary was celebrated a short
time ago.
Rather than dwell on the strain.
ed relations of 1S6O-64, let us re-
member that British admiral ran
his ships between the American
and German squadrons in Manila
bay, and thus served notice on the
insolent Admiral Won Diedrichs
that although he might be there
by order of the kaiser, sir, he had
better accept the authority of Dewey
The friendship of the United States
and Great Britain was thoroughly es-
tablished before the outbreak of the
European war. IN the bitterness OF
the debate which started in 1914
both friendship and hostility became
intensified. A combination of Ger
man propaganda and natural align
ments produced situation in which
much had to be forgotten by a min
ority of the people when we entered
the war. The forgetting process has
proceeded with excellent results, and
it ought to go forward to a complete
and unanimous conclusion.
The Register does not mean that
as a matter of patriotism men ought
to alter views which they honestly
hold.
We mean that in reopening OF
the case in the light of what is known
today, ninety-nine men out of hun
dred ought to see that Germany, not
England forced the world war. These
niney-nine should not permit past
history, or their views on the internal
affairs of the British empire, to af-
feet their Endorsement of the present
alliance between the United States
and Great Britain.
The hundredth mantle one who
still believes that England was wrong
in 1914-will accept British aid in
fighting the present war between the
United States and Germany, and If
he is a good, levelheaded, patriotic
American he will keep his opinion Of
our ally to himself.
Reopening of the case of England
and Germany refers, of course, to the
memorandum of Prince Lichnowsky,
German ambassador to England in

Germany will have to make an &C
counting and show what it has won
upon the western front for the unpre-
cedented loss of life. 1t appears that
the western line is going to hold,
which means that Germany cannot
win.
