THE |. W. W. CONVICTIONS,

Four months were consumed in the
trial of those 100 members of the l. w.

an hour and five minutes to pronounce
the whole batch guilty.
In noraml times such an affair would
have attracted the attention of the en-
tire country. But the crimes of which
these people have been convicted were
not of normal character. Also. any

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.

Everyone expected the American
army to put up good fight. We knew
the caliber of our men.
What we did not know was that our
army would receive praise for qualities
which Europe has never associated with
Americans. The American in Europe
has often been described as lacking in
politeness and consideration; as being
proud, in a half-baked, brainless way,
of the accomplishments of his country
end of his own ability. Our own writer's
have pictured Americans as mannerless
and boorish and frequently offensive to
their hosts. Wrote Kipling:
"Calm-eyed he SCOTS at sword and
crown,
Or panic blinded stabs and Stays;
Blatant he bids the world bow down,
Or cringing begs crust of praise. !"
But when the great test came, our
army, for whose hasty aid the Allies
SoISO IL olIliCaliy, was HellLeT blatant
in demanding that it be allowed to run
the war nor did it cringe for recognition
of its valor. 1t is now being praised
for qualities the opposite of those which
Kipling saw. Says the Petit Journal
of Paris:
but it is necessary to say emphati-
cally that all that (brigading American
troops with British and French, and the
like would not haye been possible, ex-
cept for the willingness of the Amer
cans in their devotion to the common
cause, and their intelligence. 1t is. in
fact, their initial abnegation which has
resulted in such swift winning of
lsurels. All our general officers who
have American units under their orders
say it is not possible to be more valiant
than their soldiers. to show more ardor
in the work and more tact than their
officers"
This Is the purest of high praise. But
it reveals that the American soldier has
shown Europe for the first time what
the American people are like.

the whole war effort had spread
throughout the nation. AS it is, 100
dreamers go to jail, for good
long perio6s, we hope, not because of
what they did but for what they tried
to do. This IS not the time to be leni-
ent, not the time to make failure a
palliative for reasonable attempt.
The word ''pro-German" has been
rather loosely used at times. 1t means
a sympathizer with the enemy. 1t also
means man who follows courses that,
though his motives may merely be mis-
taken, help the enemy by handicspping
US. The amount of pernicious enemy
propaganda still in the country is prob
lematical; it can never be exactly esti-
mated, nor can the positive enemy agent
be easily differentiated from the ordi-
nary miserable anarchist, industrial or
political. Germany herself suffers as
much from the Vaccinations of these
last as we do. and probably more. The
Haywoods are active in every country;
towards, dreamers, iconoclasts. For
tunate the country that, like ours.
recognizes them for the pariahs they
are and puts them away at public be-
hest, not merely in arbitrary effort OF
the Government to save itself from the
fruits of the seeds of revolution that it's
own acts fertilize.

HOW ABOUT WILHELM

On one point at least the peace terms
of the Allies remain vague and unsatis
factory. No spokesman for our cause
has given any hint as to what is to be
the policy of the Entente Powers with
regard to the Kaiser, the Crown Prince,
Tirpitz, and other German leaders who
are particularly responsible for the be-
ginning of the war and for the murders
and barbarities that have distinguished
it from other wars of modem times.
Yet there is no point upon which gen.
eral public opinion is more unanimous.
The nations that are opposed to Ger
many, apart from their kings, presi-
dents and milite"y leaders, believe that
the Kaiser, Tirpitz and others ought to
be made suffer in their own bodies, not
only as a punishment for the crimes
they have committed, but as a warn
ing to others. the Toronto Mail and En- =
pire asserts. What the Allied peoples
would like to see at the end of the war
is an international court before which
the Kaiser and his immediate accom-
plices and advisers should be cited and
brought to trial for their crimes, and
if convicted upon unimpeachable evi
dence, either hanged or punished in
some other suitable manner. If this is
not done, If the war ends and leaves
tbs Kaiser and his group either the
rulers of Prussia or in the fabulously
wealthy and dignified private gentle
men, it will end unsatisfactory.
We meyer had much patience with the
cry that the Allies are not fighting the
German people, but autocracy and
millitarism and some other evil abstrac-
tions. AS far as we care to go in the
matter of separating the German ma
ton from its rulers is to suppose that
we are in the position of sheriff 5
posse that is seeking an outlaw, or
band of outlaws. This band, consist
ing of the Kaiser and his accomplices,
is being defended by the German ma
ton. We are fighting the German ma
ton in order that we may lay hands on
this outlaw band and recover the plum
der that it has seized. But having at
tremendous sacrifice overcome the op-
position of the nation that is harborlng
the outlaws, and got hold of the fugi-
tives from international justice, what
are we going to do with them? Surely
we are not going to hand them back
without trial to those who have protect
ed them! Unless we are hypocrites
and believe at heart that the Kaiser is
simply playing game with US, and that
after it is oyer we should, like magma
nimous winners, shake his hand and
compliment him on having put up
good fight, we must make it clear now
that the Kaiser Is not to be treated diff
ferently from any other accused
criminal. The German people will
fight no harder for knowing what are
our intentions regarding the Kaiser,
and definite statement would thrill
every soldier in the armies of the Allies
and bring comfort to every heart that
mourns a lost one.

HOW UNCLE SAM WILL CELE-
BRATE JULY FOURTH.

The United States will celebrate In
dependence Day by launching in one
day more ships than Germans sub
marines can destroy in a month at
their present rate of underseas piracy.
At least one hundred ships, and
probably more, approximating half a
million tons Of dead weight tonnage,
are expected to slip from their ways.
fhe shipworkers by Drawn and sacri-
fee have made ready at least 95
ships, and it is said to be not improb-
able that the number will be one hum
dred, Or more. These ships, when COM
pleted at the same rate of speed which
has made possible their launching to-
morrow, will take their places in the
"bridge Of ships to France" which will
maintain the armies fighting to defeat
Germany.
The request of Chairman Hurley and
Mr.. Schwab that the Fourth be cele-
brated by launching the greatest num-
Der of hulls ever put overheard in one
day, specified distinctly that the war
program was so pressing that it would
not be permissible to delay launchings
which could be made earlier Any
Sips pat into the water must be the
result of extra eKertion to get them
ady ahead of schedule time, and the
Issponse of the worlSmen, the men
4 no actually are building the mer-
Giant marine, needs no comment other
than the list of vessels to be added
to the worlds marine population to-
morrow.
When all Americans show the same
devotion and self-sacrifce that have
been shown by the shipbuilders the
United States will be invincible alike
on land and sea.

MILK GIRLS OF RHEIMS
DISPLAYED HEROISM


| PaIis.-The little milk girls of
Rheims are given high rank by Paul
Dramas, of that martyred city, in an
article he has written praising the he
roism displayed by the women of
Rheims. M. Dramas was editor of
Eclaireur de PEST, which newspaper
he published in Rheims until there
were no longer any inhabitants to
buy it.
"The little milk girls" he writes,
will never be forgotten at Rheims.
Milk was a necessity for the children,
the aged and the sick. Thanks to the
little milk girls they never went with
out. The tinkling of their little bells
announced their arrival and for forty
four months they traversed all the
streets of the city. Many time they
were taken by surprise by storm of
shells. Three of them had to be car
ried away on stretchers, yet the others
continued on their route so that the
children and sick should have their
milk all the same. On February %
we heard the tinkling- Of their bells
for the last time. The little milk girls
were sent out Of the city. They had
filled their mission to the very end,
for after that there were no longer
in Rheims either children. aged or
sick. All had left.

Cheyney Did Not
Withdraw Offer
Council Still Holds Option on
Street Right-of-Way

Tarpon Springs, Fla, June 10, 1918.
Esten F. Albaugh, Clerk,
Tarpon Springs, Fla.
Dear Mr.. Albaugh:
| am informed that at the meeting
of the council last night, you were re-
quested by the chairman to insert in
the minutes of the last council meet
ing that l had. withdrawn my offer to
sell right of way across block 65, to
the city, and that you refused to COM
ply with the chairman's request, for
the reason that had not withdrawn
this offer. I am also Informed that
the council refused to approve the
minutes of last meeting unless you did
make this incorrect entry.
You were absolutely right in refus-
ing to comply with the request of the
chairman. l did not withdraw the Of
fer of this property at the last meet
ing of council.
The chairman made a very strong
effort to make me do so, for his own
purposes, but | specifically refused to
do so, saying that / should take my
own time to do so, and would furnish
my reasons in writing, and further
more as this property belonged to
Mrs. Cheyney she would have to be
consulted.
Later we DECIDED that we would not
withdraw this offer. Therefore this
offer which you hold still stands.
Our offer of this property was made
to the city of Tarpon Springs in com
pliance with a request of the city
council and a resolution unanimously
adopted by the council, for the pur-
pose of submitting this offer to the
voters of our city.
Later it appears that the chairman
and his colleague changed their minds
about submitting our offer to the vot-
ers of the city and in order to get the
"records straight" they tried to force
us to withdraw our offer.
/ understand that in face of the fact
that they have passed a resolution to
obtain an offer of this property from
us, and submit the question to the
voters of the city, that at last meet
ing of the council they passed reso-
luton requesting their attorneys to
enter into condemnation proceedings.
As member of this city council
Fam absolutely opposed to. this action
and can only regard it as a further
effort on the part of the chairman Of
this council to plunge the city into ex-
pensive litigation and misuse of the
taxes paid by our citizens, all of which
has been unnecessary and cannot ben
eft the city in any way, and has been
brought about by the chairman and
his colleague for their own personal
reasons. ard purposes.
Very truly yours,
JNO. X. CHEYNEY.

population OF the world increasing
faster than he growth in the meat
supply, goyes.1nent experts foresee a
$ ricps problem to be solved in the not
jfar-distan, future.
The situation in the United States
mas reached an interesting stage.
Within the las ten years, the popula-
ton has increased 10 per cent while
the herds Of the nation which brought
the meat industry to its present high
development have declined 20 per cent.
In Europe the condition is even more
serious because of depletion due to the
war. Australia and New Zealand con-
tinue to produce great quantities of
meat, but the distance to the congest-
ed centers Of population adds much to
the expense of marketing. South Am
erica's vast fields and splendid herb
age, therefore, are being looked to as
the source of supply, now as well as
after the war.
Argentina is today the most import
ant beef producing country in the
world, according to a review of meat
packing N South America by the
Latin-Amercan Division of the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic COM
mere. Uruguay also is becoming a
center of the industry and Brazil, Par
aguay, Columbia ard Venezuela to
less extent. Out of total Of 915,641
tons of beef, mutton and lamb pro-
duced IN 1916, Argentina produced
436,405 tons, New Zealand and Aus
tralia 262,176 tons, the United States
80.522 tons, and other countries the
remainder.
I Development. of cattle breeding in
South America has been direct re-
suit of the discovery of refrigeration.
Until the practice of freezing meat
was introduced, South American COM
merce in meat was negligible, being
confined to the shipment of low grade
smoked or salted beef, for which there
was little sale. When American and
British capital established plants in
Argentina and Uruguay, and later in
other countries for freezing or chill
ing meat so that it could be shipped
fresh across the ocean, commanding
high prices and being in great de-
mand, native ranchmen began to i'm
prove their stock by the introduction
tof thoFougbbreds.
AS result, millionaire ranchmen in
Argentina and Uruguay are almost as
plentiful as millionaire oil men in
Oklahoma. Frozen meat is being used
extensively by the allied armies and
the flow of gold in the worlds COM
merce has been showing an increasing
trend toward South America.
Meat packing in Argentina has been
so successful because it was spared
the hardships which a new industry
usually encounters. Profting by AM
erican experience, the plants were es-
it+bne'e1 o'c~y nod 7rr lines without
costly experiment. A market already
had been created in Europe by the
