Indictments Go Into Details Of
COnspiracy to Hamper
War Operations

San Francisco, Feb. g.--Nine more
arrests are expected to be made today
by federal agents as the result of re-
turn Of indictments by the Sacramento
federal grand jury charging members
of the I. w. w. with conspiracy to-
obstruct American prosecution of the
war by campaign of sabotage.
Forty-six of the So persons indicted
are already in Jail at Sacramento.
These include William Hood and G. F.
Voetter, who were arrested in Decem-
Der in connection with the attempt to
dynamite the governor IS mansion. The
other nine indictments were placed on
the secret file and will not be am
nounced until the persons involved
have been arrested. 1t is said, how
ever, that all of these are persons of
considerable prominence in the world
Of radical thought here.
Some of the indictments contain
specific charges and some general
charges One blanket true bill accuses
all the defendants with obstructing the
draft act, fostering sabotage and at
tempting to bring on strikes. 1t is al-
legged that the persons named merely
participated in a conspiracy in which
the whole l. w. w. organization is i'm
volved to conduct a plan of sabotage
Attempts to intimidate by use Of
threats also are alleged.
The indictments go into details re-
garding the alleged plot. In one Sec
tion the text of an /. w. w. poem is
quoted. This ridicules American sol-
diers and the work they are doing.
The connection between the Sacrament
to cases and those in Chicago involv-
ing international officers of the I. w.
w. is shown in letters urging some of
the defendants to continue their tout
side work" as "the best means" Of
helping those in Jail in Chicago.

Get Ready for
the Next Loan

Before SO very long the
American people will be called
upon to subscribe to a new Lib
erty Loan, much exceeding in
magnitude any of the loans
that have been subscribed down
to the present. The loan will
probably come at time when
the western front has settled
down to a state of relative
Quiescence and both sides will
he casting up accounts, estimat-
ing the resources at their com.
mAnd for a winters endurance
and another summers campaign.
Upon these estimates will de-
pend the kind of peace tenta-
tives launched in the winter and
the manner of their reception.
1t goes without saying that
financial power will weigh heav-
lily in the estimates. The
strength America exhibits in
the next loan will he carefully
considered, both by our Allies
and by our enemies. This is u
point to be taken into account
by every American in the con-
duct Of his private affairs. If
he intends scrupulously to ex-
ecute his national obligation
in full, he cannot afford to wait
until the loan is announced be-
fore laying his plans for saving
from income He will already
have begun to save expenses, to
accumulate funds. Uuless
Americans generally adopt such
a policy of saving the next loan
cannot be the success that the
honor of the country requires"

Spraying Loqs.

As safety measure, logs at a North.
western mill are given vigorous
spraying under several Jets of water
before going to the saw. The reason
for this process is that bits of rock or
gravel may become attached to the
bark of the log while it is being trans
ported t. the mill, and If the swiftly re-
volying saw strikes one of these. OBJ.
structioEs trouble is likely to follow.
The abrupt checking of circular saw
may cause 1t to fly in score of pieces
