The enemy continued his efforts tc

crossing long enough to put oyer some
Of his forces.
Many fresh German divisions have
been brought in along this part of the
line south of Peronne, and the Brit
ish troops are heavily engaged with
them and holding them back with the
most resolute spirit.
All the fighting in this part OF the
country since March 81 has been a
continuous battle, in which the Brit
fish divisions holding the front line be-
low GouEeacourt to Maissemy have
shown magnificent powers Of endur-
ance, as indeed have all the others en-
gagged, and have only yielded ground
under pressure Of overwhelming num-
bers and great gunfire.
The commandments mentioned
especially the Twenty-fourth division
for their defense Of lie Tergnier. Here,
on the second day of the battle, a
small body of the Queens guard
fought to the last man, refusing to re-
treat when surrounded, and working
their machine guns until they were
put out Of action.
Desperate Fighting Continues.
Fighting OF a most desperate nature
has been continuous since the initial
attack, but SO far the British have
used few troops other than those
which were holding the front line.
These shock troops have been max
Ing as gallant a defense as wal ever
recorded in the annals of the British
army, and as q result they have en-
abled the main body Of the forces to
fall back deliberately and without con-
fusion. and occupy positions which had
teen prepared long before the German
offensive began.
The Germans, on the other hand, op-
Grating under the eyes Of the en-
peror and the crown prince, have been
hurting vast hordes into the fray with
utter disregard for life, and have fol-
lowed into tbs abandoned positions,
getting farther and farther away from
their supplies and finding their COM
munications increasingly difficult.
More than 80 German divisions al
ready have been identified by actual
contact, and many Of these men were
simply given two days rations and
sent over the top into the frightful
maelstrom made by the allied artil-
lery, machine guns and rifles. The
slaughter of the enemy infantry as it
advanced in close formation over the
open has been appalling.

TIME FOR ACTION

1t is TO the CreOlJ OF our gov
arnment that so far, enemy aliens
have been leniently dealt with
even when those aliens have given
indubitable evidence that they
sought to do the country harm.
No drastic action has been taken
against even the worst offenders,
but one and all have been hui
namely dealt with. Internment
for the duration Of the war has
been about the most severe pen
atty yet inflicted.
It does seem that consideration
should and would beget consider
alton, yet instances are multiply
ing that it does not SO work.
While enjoying almost perfect
immunity from harm, themselves,
these enemy aliens seem bent on
wreaking as much harm as pos
sible on the country that has spar
ed and protected them.
All Of this is now having it's To-
gical effect. With greater fire.
quency now come reports Of mob
violence against the country's
'enemies. The anger Of the people
is becoming aroused and they are
taking the law into their own
hands.
This is to be deplored, but
there is only one way to prevent
it. That is for this government
to recognize sedition wherever it
rears it's ugly head, and crush it
with an iron hand.
The day is past when any man
in America can occupy middle or
neutral ground. Every man,
women and child in the country
MUST be classed under one Of
two heads-friends or enemies.
There is absolutely no other
other ground to stand upon. [
am either for or against my gov
eminent. You are either for or
against your country.
It would seem that German
sympathizers in this country
would be more careful Of their
own safety than to uselessly a.
rouse the anger Of the entire ma
ton. They must surely know
Ethat all their outrages can have
one misunderstanding hatred
and loathing for them and their
kind. Surely they can not i'm
agine that their efforts will count
for anything in the final result.
This being the case, the people
appraise their action at it's true
notwithstanding loyalty to a
loyalty to a country they have
deserted and unreasoning hostil-
ity and treachery to country
and people that have taken
them in and protected them.
The government should force
every mans hand. Every man
should be compelled to lay his
cards on the table-come clean
or take the consequences.
And the consequences should
not be in the nature Of a pink

Several days ago John Jones
filed complaint in Justice Bouralnds S
court asking that John Whizzen-
hunt be placed under peace bond
because he had threatened to kill
bum. Jones. The case was heard
Yesterday afternoon and there was
no evidence introduced to show
that Wezzenhunt had ever made
any threats against Jones but it was
shown that lones had seen him in
the woods and feared he twas go
ing to shoot him, as he carried a
gun with him. Whizzenlunt said
he was hunting rabbits. There was
ttouble between the two men last
February because of Jones' atten-
tions to Mrs. Whizzenhunt which
Whizzenhunt resented. Jones was
found sitting beside the road west

when Deputy Sheriff Bal'ew came
along and Jones asked for ride.
The officer allowed him to ride to
town and Jones getting cut OF the
car offered no explanation, but went
toward the Hardy sanitaflum. La
Ter that night, while at the SAN
tarium on other business, the sher-
iii and Deputy Ballew found Jones
there having a large number OF
biitlshot pick out OF his back. Since
that time there has been bad blood
between the two men and Whizzen-
hunt testified that three weeks ago
Mrs. Whizzenhunt and Jones met
at the spring and were talking when
he approached. Before the trial
Yesterday afternoon, Justice Bour-
land asked Deputy Sheriff Ballew
to search both the defendant and
the complaining witness The Of
ficer testified he found no gun on
Whizzenhunt, but that Jones had
one which he took away from him.
The Justice, at the conclusion of the
case. held both men under bond of
$500 each to keep the peace. There
we're number OF citizens who had
testified TO the good reputation of
Whizzenhunt, waiting in the court
room to sign his bond. He has five
small children dependent upon him.
