A KULTURED REPRISAL.

One OF the most interesting re
prisal suggestions that wese seen
cmanates from the brain OF DIR. Car
Peters. an eminent German scientist.
His Prussan soul being reused 10
a state of lofty indignation by re-
ports OF i'll treatment OF German
noncombatants in East Africa. he
makes this suggestion;
That twice the number OF Bel
superior social standing me com
PEELED to march in winter time, in
adequately clad and fed on prison
fare, from ten to fifteen times be
tween Costanza on the Black sea
and Rigo on the Baltic.
To grasp the full import of this
kultured proposal. one must re-
member that the distance from CO.
stanza to Riga is something like
1000 miles. Also that the Belglans
can hardly have had any possible
connection. direct or indirect, with
anv barbarities inflicted on the Sa-
cred persons Of German settlers in
East Africa. Also that the bar
barities reported are no doubt
either imaginary or inflicted on
those German East Africans for
their we'll known crueties to the
native population and their defiance
OF the rules OF civilization in the
treatment of their white enemies.
But its all the same to a Prus-
sian highbrow. The Germans hap
pen to have the Belgians under their
thumbs. The Belgians are allies.
And so, when anything goes wrong
anywhere, the natural remedy is to
straie the Belgians. 1t is beau
tiful exemplification OF Hun justice,
as practiced by the Hun army and
defended by Hun professors.

LOGICAL PENALTY FOR DIS
LOYALTY.

1t seems logical that a natural
lied citizen who proves disloyal to
his adopted country should lose hii
citizenship, just as a member OF a
club or lodge forieits his member
ship if he refuses TO abide by the
rules OF the organization. But only
now. after years OF futile rndigna-
ton at the ingratitude OF our adopt
ed citizens. has this natural penal
" been imposed for the first time.
The principles laid down by Unit
ed States Judge Haight OF Newark,
n. j., in the case OF Frederick W.
Wursterbarth seem TO accord with
law as we'll as common sense.
Wursterbarth case is typical OF
thousands. He has long been 4 cit
izen. He has lived in the country
nearly half century and was nat
uralized thirty five wears ago. lie
has held public office. He has been
regarded as a good American.
But when the big test came he
showed himself German. He has
repeatedly said. since We entered
the war. that he did not want the
United States TO win and that he
would do nothing against the land
of his birth. He has consistently
refused to buy Liberty Bonds or
subscribe to the Red Cross Or do
anything ia behalf oi any American
war activity. lie has spoken OF the
war always as German, not an
American.
Judge Haight. after hearing the
testimony to this effect. concluded
that Wursterbarth IS German
technically as we'll as German at
heart. He concludes. from Nur-
sterbarth's conduct. th9t when the
latter took the oath oi citizenship.
renouncing allegiance to the Ger.
man emperor. he must have done It
with = mental reservation. Thus
his papers have been obtained by
fraud and there Is flaw IN ms ci;-
izenship. The court therefore re-
yokes his naturalization papers.
II this legal reasoning Is as sound
as il seems to layman. II NAV be
applied hereafter wherever there Is
occasion for il. Aud the men to
whom it is applied. granted that they
have lair trial. will have no
ground for complaint.
IL seems to be an admirable pen
alty for such disloyalty A. ialls
,hort of technical treason.

POLITICS AGAIN
With Liberty Loan Over, Talk
Due To Begin.
The Armistice Will Be Declared
of Monday.

Washington, Oct. 18.-With the
closing of the fourth liberty loan CAM
paign tonight politics will open up
bright and early Monday with loud
bang.
An armistice having been declared
by both great parties during the loan
drive, the ferocity of the closing days
of the campaign will be accumulated,
leaders declared today.
Republicans have carefully pre-
pared lines Of attack. They will BIT
terly assail the Democrats with the
charge that this party is attempting
to hold its place in congress with the
claim that defeat of the Democrats win
be hailed in Germany as reputation
of President wilson's war policies.
And they will urge election of Re-
publican senate to defeat that provi-
sion in the presidents fourteen peace
principles which urges equality Of
trade conditions, among all nations
the Republican claiming this is a free
trade policy.
The Democrats will urge retention
of their present control of congress to
assure constant support Of the presi-
reconstruction after the war.
So far as reaction from the country
thus far has developed, interest in the
congressional campaign has been
greatly showed aside by attention to
war work. Hence, both parties will
| now make q supreme effort, to bring
out the vote.
Congress will recess at the end OF
next week over election day that the
solons may go back and make their
| final appeal TO the voters.

PLENTY TO DO HERE
Army of the Rear Has q Job To
Help Win War.


Chicago. Oct. 19.-Upon the ARMY
Of the Rear"-the great army of
workers at home-rests the task of
making victory of allied arms posi-
BILE, and the nations naval forces are
convinced that the Home Army" will
do its part. according to letter from
a naval officer, who was formerly con-
nected with the Chicago office of the
Associated Press.
I'm no longer a prairie sailor. I'm
on a good ship-a scrapping, happy
ship" he writes.
Coming into my present service
really made me appreciate the ARMY
of the Rear, the army back in the
United States tht is really going to
win this war. For upon the pulsing of
the great American heart at home de-
ponds allied success or failure. And
important are the people who are its
blood and muscle. Pumping a new
vigor into depleted Europe; maintain
ing a healthy flow in the arteries of
communication; creation and Stimula-
ton of healthy, ardent public senti-
ment is a magnificent task.
THE soldier and the sailor does
much in surrendering comforts and
facing death and the drag net of nag
ging details which must befaH him.
But the fighter in the ranks behind
has quite a large task, too, in combat
ing the pacifist the profiteer and the
traitor. His is the task of keeping the
American public alive to the facts of
this war and his job is one that is
sprouting and developing tendrils al
stalk. Having seen something of each,
1 have no fear but that the fighters
in both ranks will prove worthy of
their Americanism."

of the attendants at the emergency
hospital, who have worn their masks
all the time in their work, have con-
tracted the disease. An effort will be
made to get the owners of stores
where there are a large number of
employees to require their employees to
wear these masks until the epidemic
is SUCCESSFULLY checked. The same plan
will also be recommended for use in
business offices and other businesses
where a large number of workers are
thrown together in close quarters.
Many people have asked the city
authorities if influenza may be con-
tracted more than once. It .can,~Doc-
tor Clark says.
There is an indication that more
stringent measures may be adopted
next week should there be no abate-
ment in the virulance of the epidemic.
The authorities, however, offer no sug-
gestions as to what these measures
will be.

War loan headquarters here was
submerged under an avalanche of tele-
grams telling Of the attainment of
quotas by towns, cities, counties and
states. Many of these messages re-
ported plans for obtaining heavy over
subscriptions.
Employees of the National railways
are striving valiantly to double their
subscriptions to the liberty loan. The

ported to the railroad administration
today sent the total for the fourth loan
to approximately $155.O00,000.
Schwab Matches Them.
Officials and employees of the emerg-
ency fleet corporation have subscribed
$1,300,000. Director General Schwab
said he would match all subscriptions
in the organization. This morning
employees promptly put up $4,000
and Schwab wrote his check for an
equal amount. Schwab previously had
subscribed 100000 to the fleet cor
porat ton quota.
Cincinnati, aIthos, it's quota was
passed more than a week ago, has
notified Secretary McAdoo that sales
there now are approaching 100000
above the quota.
Cincinnati and Columbus districts,
containing thirty-nine counties, have
gone over. Their combined quota was
$99,000,000. Cleveland and Pitts
burgh are the only areas tagging in
the Cleveland district.
In the Cleveland area the twenty
nine counties were 100000 behind
their quota of s1s7,o00.0O0 this morn
ing.
Utah and Oregon report prospects
of a ten per cent oversubscription.
In those two states official figures
show SO per cent of the quota sub
scribed and banked. State commit
tees, however, reported that some
counties had not sent in their pledges
for three days and from there it is
expected the total would be boosted
substantially.
