Telegram Urges Wilson to
Act Against Teuton
Propagandists
Russia and Italy Cited
Enemy Aliens Ignore Rules
and Enter Barred Zones
Freely

Suppression of German language
newspapers, the elimination of Ger
man from public schools and effective
measures to eradicate persistent Teu
ton propaganda throughout the United
States were again demanded yestcr
day by the American Defence Society
In a telegram to President Wilson
the organization called attention to the
abortive effects of the COMPROMISE, or
half measures heretofore taken and
expressed the conviction that decisive
action is perative-especially at this
critical tme-if the nation is to re-
spond whole -heartedy to the Presi-
dents announced determination to
fight until Prussian aut0cracy is de-
featcd.
A statement announcing the message
recalls that a similar appeal last year
produced no results. Since then the
Russian debacle and the near ruin Of
Italy have been brought about by
sinister Germanic influences identical
with those which are declared to be
still at work in the United States
through three principal mediums-the
German-language press, German So
cieties and German-language classes
IN the pubic schools.
One of the reasons advanced for the
marrow escape of the loyalty issue
from defeat in the Lenroot-Thompson
the fact that in that state. as we'll as
in Nebraska and other sections of the
Middle West, there are communities in
which nothing but German is spoken
or taught. In its least menacing
aspect, it was asserted, conditions like
these tend at least to retard or pre-
vent the Americanization of aliens.
Violate Zone Rules
Several hundred thousand enemy
aliens who ignored the registration
ordered by President Wilson are also
said to be violating zone regulations
and moving about freely in forbidden
areas.
"lt has been the dream Of the Ger
man government to create a solid block
of Teutonism in the United States, y
said Richard NJ. Hurd of the Defence
Society. "We have permitted ourselves
to fall into the trap.
"ln asking for the suppression of
the German press, the German socie-
ties and the teaching of the German
language, we arc taking no new action.
Last year a similar movement received
nation-widc support, but nothing was

One of the inspiring planks in the
platform of the new National party
sounds warning of movement to stop
the consumption of tobacco. One of
the party leaders solemnly declares
that there can be no hope for America
or the allies in this war if the soldiers
continue to use the weed. What a
puny. helpless lot our soldiers must
be in the eyes of the do-goods. How
can an army of men totally unable to
take care of themselves when in camp
be expected to whip the Huns? The
Germans are notorious as drinkers of
ihtoxicants. use tobacco and their
morals never have been considered as
above reproach. Isn't it strange that
they have not been whipped long age?

duor but they have been unable to
stand against the drinking. smoking

DOubIe-Barreled Attack I
Wilson and McAdOO.
LOngworth and Kitchin Launch
1t in Lower House.
CREED FOR AUTOCRATIC RULE!
Is Legislation To Be Simply a
Matter of Executive Order?
"Congress Might as Well Abdi-
cate," Says 7. r. SOn-in-Law.

Washington, March 1.-THE long
gathering storm of congressional OPP
position to granting to President
Wilson and other executives the great
power they seek. broke with fury in
the house this afternoon. Representa-
tive Nicholas Longworth, Ohio, son-in-
law of Theodore Roosevelt, assailed
the president while Representative
Kitchin attacked the McAdoo war fl
nance corporation bill.
This incessant reaching after leg
islative functions on the part of the
executive, this inordinate greed for
autocratic power, is a menace TO the
very foundations of our system of gov
eminent" Longworth vigorously as
serted.
Like an Ancient Mixado!
IF the president in his magnificent
isolation from the common people
an isolation among rulers comparable
only to that of the mikado of ancient
Japan-is to be immune from any
criticism of his acts or those of his
subordinates then this war must be
fought as no war in history has ever
been fought.
Things have come to a pretty pass
| in this country if legislation is to be
simply a matter of executive order, IL
committees of this house are to be
mere registering machines for the will
| of the executive. For one. l believe
| the time has come to definitely inn
press upon the executive and the coun-
try that we propose to do some think
, ing for ourselves"
Bill Extremely Radical"
The war finance corporation bill
was strongly opposed in its entirety
| by the house ways and means COM
mittee, Kitchin declared, because ii
| was so unprecedented, so radical, in
/ giving to one mar power that no other
man ever had"
| 7 \, ler, hi o1lre he
war finance bill it was sent 20 con-
pending Overman bill.
ION the same day as Secretary Nc
! Adoo's bill made its appearance
| Longworth said, "a bill known as the
Overman bill was introduced in the
the avenue, designed to turn over tt
our system of government in any wa,
he saw fit.
Make Him Financial Dictator.
/, q do Ut think it is an exaggera-
ton t. say that if these two bills had
! passed in their original form, con-
| gress might just as well have abdi-
Gated"
| Longworth declared that the two
powers McAdoo asked-controlling
credit and controlling the issue OF
urities-would have made him
the arbiteF of the business and finance
| of America
No war lord in history, no kaiser,
has ever had such power" Longworth

CORN'S THE THING.

The planting season again is here
and the Importance of producing ev-
cry possible ounce of food cannot be
too strongly urged upon the farmers
and gardeners. The great crop in
Kansas is corn and no crop is of
greater importance to the world. 1t
is both meat and bread. We have the
soil and the climate necessary for its
growth. All that is needed is work.
No other important crop can be grown
with SO small an outlay of money.
Half the world depends on the
United States for its food. Millions
of men in England. Scotland, Ireland,
in France. Italy and Belgium. have
been taken from peaceful pursuits for
making war and munitions. They are
gone from the farms. Even before the
war, these countries raised less than
they ate.
Their need is now greater than
ever. their production is less than usu-
al; they are cut off from half the
world by the shortage of shipping.
Therefore, our associates in this war
depend on North America for food as
they have never depended before, and
they ask US for it with a right which
they have never had before. For to-
day they are our companions in a
great war against a common enemy.
For the present it is they who are do
ing the fighting. the suffering, the
dying-in our war.
One million of the best young men
in the United States will soon be
fighting side by side with the millions
of brave soldiers of France, Great
Britain, Belgium and Italy.
Millions of men, women and chill
dren of the United States can not go
abroad and fight the enemy face to
face. But they can fight by helping
the fighters fight.

We are likely to show the Huns a
lumoer o- new wrinkles in the art of
var before this thing is ended. For
instance, to increase the dead1iness
of the machine gun, an American in
ventor has come to the fore with ar
apparatus that enables from two to
six of the weapons to be handled by
one operator and two assistants. The
rifles can be fired separately. in
groups or simultaneously. as condi-
tions dictate. They are mounted in
rack and controlled by different de-
vices that regulate their respective
elevations, ranges and rates of fire.
With the Continuance it is possible for
enc gunner to sweep six targets of
varying ranges at the same time. or
concentrate the whole fury of the
battery upon one of them.
