There was time-not so very many years
ago either-when the Kaiser felt hurt when
Americans visited across the waters and failed
to visit Germany. Now that there are nearly
two millions rapping at that country's gates to
enter, the Kaiser won't let them in. At least it
appears that way. He has evidently changed
his mind. But whether he did or not, matters
very little, for the Americans are in France on
their way to Germany and they are going there.

LINE THEM UP AGAINST STONEWALL

From the meagre report received late Sat
urday evening, some nineteen thousand employees
in the Seattle shipyards, refused to work during
the afternoon, giving the refusal of double pay
as the reason. The presumption is that they
established the custom of making Saturday af-
ternoon half day holiday. y most contemp-
tible notion demanding the most rigorous rem
edy, such as the lining up of the leaders against
stonewall in order to save the iead for the
lead is worth more than such men.
The time has passed to nlince words as we
have arrived at point where the government
must recognize its duty, which is to have every
man work or fighter bury them. We cannot
afford to have the boys over there and the wom-
Ell and children murdered just to please Tom,
Dick or Harry and Samuel Gompers. 1t was on
the latters opposition that the bill Work or
Fight failed of passage in congress. Had
Gompers stood by the country as he led Presi-
dent Wilson to believe labor did: the bill would
have passed and that page in the history of the
country made by the Seattle slackers, would not
have to be recorded. remedy to all such fool
notions must be applied. In our opinion the most
effective is to declare martial law and turn over
the management of the country to the military
department of our government Under martial
law; those mems action would constitute mutiny
punishable by death. which is Just what they
deserve.
Why should a man ask for half day holi-
day? Are our soldiers over there given Holt
day? Are those suffering through this war
given some temporary relief from suffering?
Are the mothers of the boys on the front given
assurances that they need not worry for an oc-
casional half day. To al these questions. we
know the answers. Then why should the man
who is well fed; sleeps well, gets the best pay:
works only eight hours day safe from any dam
ger, be given more consideration than others do
ing their share TO help the country? No man is
entitled to any special consideration We are
al IN the same boat and must all work or
perish together Those men by their unreason-
able demand have shown themselves slackers and

actual machinery of International or
ganization that would make war less
probable.
All For War
Then there burst upon the world
overnight the most brutal, the most
ruthless and the most gigantic war
of human history. The flower of
human brotherhood that the Chris
tian forces of the. world had been
watering and nurturing for centuries
was withered by the hot breath of
hate. The results of years of struggle
for social justice, for democracy and
for larger opportunity for the COM
mon man were thrown on the scrap
heap for the time being, and all the
energies of mind and heart were
harnessed to the business of war"
This war has taught us that the
most urgent. the most necessary, the
most fundamentally religious duty
now before us is the deEising and
adopting of some method other than
war for settling disputes that are
bound to arise between nations. I'm
less this can be done we never can
be sure that at any moment the re-
suits of generations of preaching and
teaching may not be consumed in the
fires of war.
No Words Minced
This for the future. For the pres
ent the very able speakers had
punch in both hands and did not
mince words. Mr.. Law declared that
the United States can raise ten mil
lion soldiers without seriously inter
rupting the regular course of busi-
ness: that we need not fear things
will be managed otherwise than care
fully as the war continues and that
the only thing to think of now is
getting the money.
Dwelling on the same idea Profess
sor Fisher gave utterance to this sem
tence which seemed to go home TO
the audiences: When the troops
come marching home again, and you
stand on the curb and give the great
est ovation any army in the history
of the world ever received. you will
be unable TO take your part unless
YOU have Liberty Bond" This
struck so true that many an auditor
felt for his Liberty Bond badge and
some persons looked rather uncom- |
Portable. although when Bishop Nc
