GERMAN SPIES, STRIKES
AND SOCIALISM

While there are millions of loyal
German-Americans in our country, the
spy peril is not an abstract matter, but
a concrete, everyday fact.
The headquarters of the German
spy system at present is in Mexico.
But German spies are not always Ger
mans, or native sof the other central
powers, but frequently are subjects of
neutral countries. The first line of
defense against spies is the police
force, the letter carriers and constab-
ulary of city, county and state.
German spies are not all busy re-
porting war information to their gov
eminent, but many carry on a trouble
making propaganda in this country.
Spreading industrial strife and the
poison of discomfort and socialism is
a favorite occupation or German spies
and near-spies. The Saturday Even
ing Post says:
What Germany wants is to prevent
labor from keeping on good terms
with capital, to cause endless strikes
and industrial disputes, to spread
germs of discomfort among ship en-
ployes, to carry back and forth tales
of alleged profits and inspire demands
for higher wages, foment mutual an
tagonisms, cause food panics and food
riots, destroy munition plants and fac
tories-in short, to do everything that
will prevent America from getting to
the allies the ships, food, munitions
and supplies they need to insure vic
tory.
ITO call a labor leader pro-German
or an enemy agent is in nine cases
out of ten absolutely wrong. But to
trace the subtle manner in which en-
envy agents have through devious
ways influenced a labor leader to call
a strike just as frequently leads back
to German agents or sympathizers.
with hundreds and thousands of
agents no one can be occupied in any
thing that is too trivial some day to
cause trouble. Enemies are quietly
slipped into the laboring commune
ties to talk against the employer, to
argue against the war, to call it a
rich mans affair and to deplore the
hardships of the workingman.
Capital and labor are hard things
to reconcile in times of peace. Not
all Industrial discomfort is due to the
war. But true patriotism demands
that both employers and employees
shall be the more careful not to lend
themselves, consciously or uncon-
sciously, to enemy plots.
Socialism is the best vehicle the
Germans have found. The trend of
the age is socialistic. 1t is so during
all wars. Many of the socialist lead
ers are not aware that they are mere
puppets for German agents,
at don't know a single German. /
never would listen to one remarks
an Indignant socialist. L have be-
lieved in socialism for twenty years.
But Mr.. Jones, who has been a
socialist in time of peace and is exul-
tant over the growth of the movement
today. does not realize how enemy
agents have filled the homes of Ameri-
can citizens with fallible arguments
about the war and have resorted even
to the districting of communities
wherein slowly but gradually the
seeds of d~isloyalty have been sown by
Americans who believed themselves
right in their views because no dis
sent or dispute rose from any nearby
quarter"

Fiscal Court to meet.

The reular April term of the Pow
ell Fiscal Court will meet at Slant.
on next Tuesday Important mat
ters of business will come before
the Court at this session. 1t is al
so the regular meeting for the al.
lowance ef claims. The Court so
far has been passing up the allow.
ance of claims because there WAS
no money in the general fund to
meet them. This is verv commend.
able of the court. The law pro-
h,bits the allowing of claims for
more than the revenue Of the coun.
ty, and the fact that this court starts
out to keep within the limits of the
law should be very gratifying 10

J. M. Eastling, one OF PowelPs
boys at Camp Taylor, after having
spent the usual ten days furlough
with his family, and being present.
ed with new girl the day before
his departure, wired those in COM
mand for an extension OF time to
remain at home with his wife and
young daughter. Failing to get a
reply, he returned to camp, only to
be informed that he had been grant
ed the extension of time requested
and that this information had been
dispatched over the Western Union
lines. But the Western Union lines
are slower than mail. If you want
service to Clay City you must use
the Postal. There have been in
stances where people of this town
have had to go by automobile to
Winchester to receive messages
over this line, because the company
would not use the first mail coming
here.
This business should be stopped.
1t is a joker and a foolcr. People
sending dispatches at big prices in a
hurry, when the mail is much fast
er. Moral-use only the Postal
when wiring parties at Clay City
and Stanton.

Swift Il Co. are running advertis-
ing matter TO present their side of
the meat situation to the people of
Powell county. Because the Times
is running this advertising it must
not be taken that we believe the
price charged for meat to the GUS
toner is fair for we know it is not.
The packers may not be getting too
much profit, in fact their statements
prove they are not, but one thing
is certain somebody is getting too
much profit. Everybody can see
that. When hogs are sold off the
farm they bring Is cents; when
meat is sold over the counter it
brings 40 cents. Fifteen cents for
hogs and 25 cents for serving him
is out of proportion. The middle
man is now getting twice as much
in the deal as both the first man
and middleman were getting very
few years ago, so we know there is
robbery some where and it is up to
the Government to find out where
the steal is going.
