Whip the Hun
WELL NOT TURN ASIDE

OF threats or punishment the Nonpar
tishn league may elect to measure gu

win get you the damage suit recent,
hled against II, the stiil more recent
personal assault upon the editor ana
the series OF rallies held last week nv
the Nonpartisan league I'm which the
editor was denounced by the Huns I'm
charge We're ali calculated to draw the
Jounran away from it's fight against
the league. The Journal has repeated-
~ stated that the Nonpartisan league
today presents a more serious menace
TO America than do the entire armed
forces OF the Kaiser. 1t has multiplied
the evidence to that effect week after
week II Will waste no energy In MAX
Ing personal defense against tbese
assaults Of the pro- Germans. The
safety OF the Journal or its editor
count no more In this struggle than do
the safety of one of our soldiers in the
trenches. The soldier is defending the
front line from the armed forces of
the Kaiser. The Journal Is defending
the soldier from a rear attack bv tho
plain clothes soldiers of the Kaiser |
who are too cowardly to don the Ger
man uniform. When duty calls the |
soldier boy over the top" he puts
aside all thoughts OF personal safety
lie responds with all his might an,s
does the enemy all the damage within
his power. If he returns from tho
charge all well and good. The God of
war has been kind to him: IL he does
not return; II his mangled body is
pulverlzed into dust on the battlef,eId
me great cause has not yet been de-
feated. II has one less defender but
the cause exists unframed and sin
ably defended by millions OF others as
willing as he to whip the Hun.
So, in lighting the German agencies

'onai glory is sought and no personal
