FREEDOM OF THE ENEMY ALIEN

It was an interesting statement which was made by Dr. Davis, den- fist who has been dciug business in Germany and who numbered the kaiser among his patrons. cn his return to this country. not oniy in regard to the experiences of himself and others in getting away from Germany, the conditions there ard the attitude to- ward the entrance of America into the war, but particularly to the marked contrast which he showed to exist be- tween the methods which are adopted in that country relative to enemy aliens and those in vogue here.
 There can be little surprise at the astonishment wlntcE he manifests al the freedom which the Germans among us, the enemy aliens. enjoy. Such is simply unheard of in Germany where the subjects of enemy countries are kept under the closest surveillance and are severely penslized for the least infraction of the rules. sr, cz
 Ever since the war broke out, even before this country departed from its neutral stand. this country has felt the effects of this freedom which is extended to the enemy alien. Our easy ways have been understood and full advantage has been taken of them to help the enemy. The frequent ar rests by the secret service demon strate this conclusively.
 It might not be expected that VI would pattern after Germany in this respect any more than we would adopt other practices to which it re. sorts. but 1t must be apparent tha, we cannot be too lenient with oul freedom to the enemy or too light il the exaetion of penalties if we ar, going to properly protect ourselves There can be nc question but wha Dr. Davis has every reason to be sur prised at our tolerance of the activi ties and liberties of tho enemy alien

THE TREATY WITH RUSSIA,


 There can be no cause for surprise in the action of Russia in grabbing Russian territory even if that which is taken by the treaty which Berlin declares has been signed with the bol- sheviki includes more than was asked for under the claims which were pre- scented at the first Brest- -Iiteysk con- ference. M
 Germany is out to rule. It has Rus sia by the throat. thanks in a large measure to those who have been try ing to establish g. government in Rus sia in accordance with the theories which they have advocated, and 1t is determined to get all 1t can while tie getting is good. The only real cause for surprise is the fact that more has not been demanded.
 In spite of all that has been said by leaders in Germany and Austria if is impossible to dodge the fact that the central powers are out for con- quest. Germany wants to dominate and to do so it must get mere terri tory. After due preparation it found Russia demoraIzed as far as any gov ernment and fighting force was con- 1 cerned. It was unwilling to accept the attitude of the Russian leaders Ienine and F-otzky. that there would be no more war as far as Russia was concerned. The opportunity to gel more territory was open. Russia was made to understand that it must dc as Germany said or fight. Not being able to dc the latter it was a case o humbly submitting to the kaiser. Tht disposition to grab could not be pu aside and the peace dictated by Ger. many is the result Germany, Aus l tria and Turkey have already benefited and Bulgaria will get it's rake Of from Runania, and Russia has to wor " about not only what it has lost bu how soon it will be raided for more.
