Sedition Measure
Up to the President

The Sedition bill passed the Senate
last Saturday, Pittman and Hender-
son of Nevada voting for the adoption
OF the bill. The House passed the
bill Tuesday and It is now up to the
President for his signature.
The bill was initiated q year ago
and provides maximum penalties of
twenty years imprisonment and
$4,000 fine or both for widt variety
OF disloyalty acts. 1t amends the
espionage act and. with the woman
spy" bill recently passed. completes
the cycle of legislation urged by the
department Of justice as necessary to
clothe the government with power to
deal with sedition and disloyalty and
prevent mob violence which has re-
suited from the departments inability
to secure convictions of persons maxi
ing disloyal utterances.
As redrafted by the conferees. the
bills penalties apply during the war
to persons wilfully uttering "disloyal.
,profane, scurrilous or abusive lang
uage about the form of government
OF the United States, the constitution.
the military or naval force, the flag
OF uniform of the United States, or
any language intended to bring the
form Of government of the United
States. the constitution. the military
or naval forces. the flag or the uni
form of the United States into con-
tempt. contumely or disrepute."
1t also penalties languages intend
ed to incite. provoke or encourage re-
sistance of the United States or pro-
mote the cause of it's enemies" and
wilful display of the flag of any ene-
my nation.
Another important provision would
punish statements designed to curtail
production of war necessities, or the
teaching or advocacy of any Of the
prohibited acts In the measure, while
another general and broad provision
makes the penalties apply to those
who, by word or act, support or favor
the cause of any country with which
the United States is at war, or by
word or act oppose the cause Of the
United States therein.

all recruiting officers in this district
to get in as many as possible Of the
men who will be required to register
June under the Selective service law.
Voluntary enlistment for men who
have attained the age Of 81 years since

they register. From that time on they
will be unable to select the branch of

 Dear Mother: Hope you will excuse me for not writing before, but I have been chasing all over the country, for the last couple of weeks, and have finally been placed in the engineers department, but don't know how long will be there. Don't know as I will ever get any mail from you now; won't get any that vas sent to the SG4th Infantry, for a month or so any way Bill Ortmann Is in the same company that I am in. He is the only oEe left that I know. All the rest of the gang are scattered far and wide, some in the machine gun. and infan- try, and every other branch of the service The whole 18th division has been split up to fi1 other divisions Have been through some great exper- fences since I have been here. In the camp I was in before this one, I SlS1t in chicken coop, and Btli slept in . deghouse. Have seen some beauti- full country, too: lots of old castles, some of them have fallen down. and some that are still being lived in. Am flSht In the Wlne Q4Slflct. mere are thou sands of vineyards all around me. English walnuts also grow here in abundance, and they are very cheap. Some of the country that I have been through is full of ledges Of soft rock and the people have cut houses right into the lodges. Have seen a good many American soldiers, but not one from home. There are a good many German prisoners here; lots of them are young fellows. not more than IT Or IS years old. Guess from the re- ports we hear thev are better o< pris- eners than in the fight.
