SHOOT. D. YOU, SHOOTv

JUNEAU, Nov. 2.-To the Editor. Dame Barbara Fritchie, the un- terrified Federalist who poked her head through a window in Fred ericktown, when
 up the street came the rebel
 tread,
 Stonewall Jackson riding ahead" had nothing on Jimmy the Wick" in the matter of inviting leaden pellet to puncture her anatomy. Wickersham and a number of his followers. in open defiance of the quarantine officers and mayors or ders and caring nothing for the lives and health of others so long as Wickersham's candidacy could be boosted. met in secret conclave and were in the act of conducting a po- litical meeting in the dimly lighted hall back of Winter and Ponds store. But their plans "ganged aglee," the meeting being raided and dispersed by the quarantine of ficers. accompanied by the police. When the officers approached an alarm was given by an outside sen tinel and immediately the hall was darkened. The officers demanded admission and. entering the darken- ed hall. the Chief of Police flashed his searchlight which. by chance. landed squarely on the face of Wick Iersham. It was then that the willy Wick, realizing the low and debased trick in which he had been fairly caught. and with the bravado of a desperado run to earth. punctured the moist-laden zephyrs of night with Shoot. Dam You, Shoot!"

CHINA IMPRESSED
 WITH FOCh'S WORK
 ON FIGHT FRONT

PEKING, Nov. 1.-China has been impressed by the success of General s0ch's counter offensive, and by the Nmerican successes on the Western ,rout. Hitherto tho Chinese have ,cen very much oveFawed by Ger many, which most of them corsid ,red invincible. The Minhsinpao irges the Central Powers to make peace with the Allies and says the 'efeats of the Austrian and German srmies in Italy and France show dearly that a complete military vic ory over the Entente is impossible especially now that the young Amer can army has proved itself capable If attacking the experienced German roops with victory.
 Previous to this Trance-American yict0ry in France. the majority of the Chinese people. especially Chinese military officers most of whom had been trained in Germany and Japan IT educated in China under German Hnd Japanese military instructors expressed great douht about the abil, ity of the experienced Americans to combat successfully the Germans on the Western front.
 Now the Franco-American victory has shown the intelligent class of Chinese what the American army can do. This raises the psestige of the Americans in the Tar. East as a military people.

Our Counter PROPAGANDA

1t is not anybody's news bureau or
anybodys eloquence, neither Greeting
nor sermonizing nor the best of movies
1t is our men fighting, their deeds. their
words, blazing out in letters of fire on
the front pages of our papers-just
facts, the nakedest of facts.
"a handful of American troops during
Mondays fighting northeast of Chalons
should have gone back short distance
after the heaviest struggle. They were
ordered to give way slightly, but imme-
diately demanded an order for a counter
attack The order was given and the
ground retaken, but it was with difficulty
that the men were persuaded to remain
at the recaptured objective. They want
ed to go to Germany" SO wrote Wilbur
Forrest at l p. m. on Thursday.
They wanted to go to Germany! Well,
so does the whole United States of
America-and any weakened pacifist
who wants little fighting, but not too
much, please, had better crawl into g.
hole and pull it in after him.
Or take this little touch from The
Evenimg Sun: "'Me and the other fell
lows in the first wave were lucky. be-
cause we got the first whack at the Hell
nies, said this doughboy. we got more
of 'em and got more souvenirs, too, than
the bunch that came after u.s."
Or, personally, we have weakness
for the report of the young American
captain, ably conquering his military
officialese with good American lingo
we met the Boche on his line of resist
ance. A sharp fight took place, after
which the Boche turned tail and ran like
hell up the hill, pursued by our tro obs "
Propaganda is dangerous stuff. deadly
dangerous, in those early hours when
opinion is confused and action has not
begun. But it is like SNOWFALL in the
place like which the Boche ran. when
once great deeds blaze up and nation
fires to "the drumming guns that know
no doubt"
1t is not so much victory as the great
deeds that count. What stirs our hearts
and mlsts our eyes is the way, the in
tensely American way, our bows are
-finging themselves into the most heroic
battle of all time. America, our dear.
beloved America, is fighting and win
ming! God help anybody who would
thwart her!

Belgium Unforgot

Tomorrow is Belgium's Day of Inde-
pendence and it will mean much to all
her allies. The war has travelled far
from Liege and Louvain to Gallipoi
and Petrograd and Jerusalem and back
again. The German can never escape
from his crime in Belgium, and to the
last day of battle, to the last day of
history, the German rape of a peace
able, unoffending neighbor will remain to
damn her.
The restoration of Belgium is the first
condition precedent of any peace. Even
the German brain is slowly beginning to
perceive this fact. The Allies have ac-
cepted this demand by unanimous vote
of all their peoples. 1t is the first tenet
of Allied faith, it is the principle and
test of the whole cause for which the
free nations are fighting, the restoration
of the rule Of law and justice to a world
threatened and overrun by despoiler
and despot.
TO Belgium on her strip of sand, in
sorrow and wreck, noble and undaunted,
America sends her greeting and her
pledge Of war unending against the
German till the world stands safe again
and the last wrongs of Belgium are
righted.

Unrnask the Bolsheviki!

The current Of events is carrying us
rapidly to some kind Of action or inter
vention ip Russia. The heroic Czecho-
Slovak force has achieved remarkable
result. 1t possesses apparently con
siderable length of the Transsiberian
Railway; every few days bring new
chronicle Of the extension Of it's sphere
of influence. The Czecho-Slovaks have
unexpectedly revealed how frai is the
actual power of the present crew in con-
troll of what remains of Russia and how
they go down like pack of calves be-
fore determined force.
Let us note one further fact. The
Czecho-Slovaks have appealed to the
United States and to the Allies for aid.
So have various elements among the
Russian people, including the late Pre-
mier and nominal President of the Rus
sian Republic. A single element in all
Russia does not ask for our intervention
or aid in any way. Russia is starving.
Russia is in a state of almost hopeless
commercial and industrial collapse But
the Bolsheviki do not ask us for food or
for supplies or for engineers or for any
kind of help to bring Russia out of the
present chaos. Why?
For two weeks and more The Tribune
has had definite information that docu-
mentary evidence as to the intimate
financial relations of the Bolshevik lead
ers with the German government have
now been in this country for a month
or more-documents that show conclu-
sively that they have taken German
money and that many of them have
grown rich in SO doing; that they have
sold their country for mess of pottage.
Why these documents should remain
buried in Washington we do not know.
If they are in the possession of the
American government, then it seems to
US that the American people are entitled
to the truth about those who have prob
ably done more to help German armies
than any other single influence since the
war began.
We hope that these documents will
soon be made public. When they are
we do not think there will be a moments
question about the temper and desires
of the American people. What remains
of the weak and mushy sympathy for
these wreckers of Russia will be wiped
out
New-York tribune., 1918-07-20
Not for Roosevelt

We earnestly trust that those ardent
and admring Republicans who are urg-
ing Colonel Roosevelt to receive the
party's nomination for Governor will de-
sst. 1t is not fair to Colonel Roosevelt
for anybody to say that he must give
himself and his time to save state or
local situation. He has his own work to
do in his own way We happen to know
his theory of it, which is that he is the
one man who can, who will, who dares to
cast a kind Of burning truth upon the
people. 81 expect no support" he says.
'It is a thing I can do alone-perhaps
better alone. l may have to go further
than l could ask any one else to go, fur
ther than any one else should 60"
Those who are pressing Colonel Roose-
welt to run for Governor say that Re-
publican thought and action in this state
must be raised to very high plane, and
that he is the one to do it. That is true,
and we should like it, from a selfish
point of view; but it seems, nevertheless,
very clear that Colonel Roosevelt would
be much wasted at Albany. Local mat
ters would absorb time and energy which
he is anxious to put upon the national
problems.
If there is any Office at all that could
increase his effectiveness we should think
it might be that of member of Con-
gress. A seat in the House of Repre-
sentatives need not in the least circum-
scribe his activities; on the other hand,
it would bring him into direct and dy-
manic contact with the conduct of the
war. Also, it would set an example to
some other distinguished men, even to
Mr.. Elihu Root
We do not urge it. We merely suggest
it; and we add that the difficulties are
unimportant. If it could not be arranged
in Oyster Bay his friends would under
take in one day to find him a good Re-
publican district in which to run.
