Camouflaging Judge Lynch as a Patriot.

Attorney General Gregory sounds a needed note
OF warning against the increasing tendency to ap-
peal to mob law in dealing with persons suspect
cd OF pro- German tendencies Judge Lynch" is no
patriot. He is merely coward and poltroon who
desecratcs the American flag when he wraps it
around his carcass and commits crime in the holy
name OF country. 1t is bad enough that innocent
persons are often made victims of mob violence.
1t is bad enough that in the name OF justice, the
laws should be trampled into the dust. But there
is even worse side to an altogether bad state OF
affairs.
Every atrocity committed by American mob
gives the Huns an excuse for added atrocities meted
out to our boys penned up in German prison camps.
At best the lot of soldiers taken prisoner by the
Kaiser is not one to be envied. At worst-and
American lynch law helps bring on the worst-thc
tate OF American soldiers upon whom the Huns
take reprisals is not good to contemplate.
So that it virtually comes down to this: Every
time an American mob lynchcs German enemy
alien it also practically lynches whole squad of
american soldiers who have been fighting for our
flag over there"
