THE AlRPLANE BUGABOO.

And now General Pershing, who heads
the American forces in France, reports
that u. S. airpanes fail in war test,
and asks Baker not to send any more
of certain make the very kind the
war department selected, tbs said, to
make showing in production to offset
the record of failure in the construction
of planes, of which 800 have been turned
out and AIS shipped to lover there. /"
One of the defects pointed out by Gen.
Pershing is reported to be, that it has
caused the death of aViators attempt
ing to operate the machine in France.
The war department is silent, and
hoists censor wall to hide the muddle
by forbidding disclosure of such infor-
nation as might locate the seat of
trouble Why? Is it possible that
some high-up is to blame? The Ger
mans are said to be wise to the fact,
then why should the American people
be kept in the dark, the people who
have been called upon to put up, in one
way or another the immense amount
OF money appropriated for appliances ?
Members of the senate committee on
military affairs have become alarmed,
and reasonably so. and do not conceal
their disappointment with the results of
an undertaking for which congress APP
propriated 500, 00o,0O last year and
nearly 81. 900, 600. 600 this year.

of exposure should shine, and some
time there should be a reckoning. An

PATRIOTIC REPUBuCANISM.

Thus speaks Ex-President Taft on the
genuine patriotism Of Republicans, dur
ing his OBSCURE at Saratoga July 10, last
mo one can question the earnest 10y
atty Of the Republican minorities in the
Senate and in the House They have
with a few uninhuential exceptions
demonstrated their intense desire to
promote the fighting of this war to a
finish Their record is far clearer than
that of the Democrats. With notable
exceptions, the Democratic leaders in
the House opposed the war. With not
able exceptions, the Democratic legis-
lative leaders opposed the pivotal legis-
lation making the conduct of our war
possible the Seleetive Draft. That act
had to be put through the Lower House
under the leadership Of a Republican
member of the Military Committee, be-
cause the ten Democratic members Of
that committee. including the chairman,
the Democratic leader of the House,
and the Democratic Speaker. were OPP
posed to its passage, They opposed the
necessary amendment 70 the draft act
in which the draft quota was to be
based on the eligibes under Class One,
instead Of population. The Democratic
Chairman opposed this and SO did other
leading Democrats. The President him
self at first sided with the Democrats.
The Republican leaders fought the
amendment inserted for the purpose.
Within two weeks the President was
compelled to admit his error and with
draw from his former position Thus
the independent and constructive action
Of the Republicans Rverted serious
injury to the draft system.

country we must treat the Hun within
our gates as the worst traitor to this
Republic: and we must treat agitation
for a premature or inconclusive peace
as treason to the Republic. The Ger
man spy, the alien enemy here at home
and the even fouler and more despica-
BILE native American who serves the
alien, should be interned at hard labor,
or if his office be rank he should be
buried. The surest way to stop the
activities of spies and plotters is to
shoot every one of them who is caught
in fragrant offense.
This is one side Of Americanism.
The other and equally important side is
to insist that every man who shows
himself to be 100 per cent American,
whole hearted and singleminded in his
| loyalty TO TINS country, no matter what
his birthplace, national origin or creed
be treated as on full and exact equal
ity with every other good American.
The bulk of American citizens in whole
or in part of German blood land | am
myself in part of German blood are alb
solutely loyal They have furnished as
large and as gallant a proportion of the
fighting men of our army and navy as
any other element; and of course it is
the fighting men who meet and furnish
the highest test of sound American cit
izenship at this time. .

THE WARS PROGRESS.

During the last week all the glory
that can come from such a source as
war has perched on the allies banners.
The Germans have had to yield ground
every day, but not without making it
hot for their pushing, determined adj
versares. The Huns are not licked
yet, but the prospects of their getting
a thorough and just trouncing were
never brighter than now.
The American forces have turned the
tide. With all due credit to French,
British and Italian soldiers, our boys
have reached that prominence where
they show the way and how it can be
done. Every American soldier is a gen
eral if needs be. History alone can dc
justice to what they have and will ac-
complsh. and how.

BUT ONE NATIONALITY.

Ex-Prcsident Roosevelt in speech
delivered on the 18th of July, two weeks
ago today, treated among other things
the nationality question in his plain,
blunt style, as follows:
"As regards Americanism we must
insist that there be in this country but
one nationality, the American national
ity. There must be no perpetuation in
this country Of separate national groups
with their separate languages and
special Royalties to alien oversee flags.
There can be no ffty-hfty Americanism
in this country. There is room here
only for 100 per cent Americanism, only
for those who are Americans and moth
ing else. We must have loyalty to
only one flag, the American flag and
il is dsloyal to the American flag to
try to be loyal to any other, whether
that other is a foreign flag or the black
and reg flags which symbolic either
anarchy Or else treacherous hostility to
all that for which this nation stands.
There il room in this country for but
one language, the language Of the Dec
laration of independence, of Washing
toms Farewell Address and of Lincoln's
Gettysburg Speech and Second lnaug-
ural-the English language. Ameri-
canism transcends every party consid-
GRAFTON. No man who is not 100 per
cent American is entitled to the sup
port Of any party which is itself en-
titled 10 be considered an American
party. We should treat as disloyal any
attempt 60 try to eonciliate any half
American vote or movement, or to
serve Germany by seeking a peace
without victory, or a peace as favor
able to her as to the nations she has so
brutaly and unscrupulously wronged.
We must set our faces like flint against
all foreign racial solidarity in this
