HURRY is wArcHwoRD FOR
THE AMERICANS

Time IS an essential element in
every transaction in life and when it
comes to a great contest for world
supremacy it is an allimportant fac
tor. The world was never before as
busy as il is today and the major
portion of its energy is being direct
ed to the one terrible industry Of
war. Two great opposing principles
o. civilization and government are
engaged in a life-and-death struggle
and the result will determine wheth-
a autocracy or democracy shall sur
yiye.
For little over a year America
has been strainng every nerve to
get ready to play decisive part in
the contest Long before now we
have learned that civilians have du-
ties to perform no less necessary to
the success of our nation than those
Of the soldiers. Those who are left
al home must be as active in doing
their part as the men or the firing
line and they cannot delay without
impcrining the lives OF the boys who
are fighting for them. Gen. Leonard
Wood gave the American people a
good motto when, in the course OF a
recent address in Kansas City, he
said
"The watchword of the day now
must be hurry. The cry OF the
trenches is hurry You can't hurry
unless you are efficient and well or
ganized
I'VE can win, but by Heaven, un-
loss you realize that you must give
the,very best that is in you victory
is far away. We must face the truth.
No one is Il worse enemy Of the peo-
PIE than the man who misleads them.
We damn the German and his meth
ods. but don't let us make the fatal
mistake of Understanding his mill
tary capacity. Don't underestimate

Relief from Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at S100.
Zeno generally removes pirnples. black
heads, blotches, eczema, and rihgworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antiseptic
liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and stains
nothing. 1t is easily applied and costs a
mere trifie for each application. It is
always dependable.

dear. This is not the pleasantest prospect for those of us who yet can feel upon our lips the pressure of mothers goodbye kiss. But, please God! our love of life is not so prized as love of right. And in this renais- sance of our country's valor, we who must edge the wedge of her assault make calm acceptance of it's hazards.
 For us, the steel-swept trench, the stiffening cold, discomforts, hard ships, worse. But what for you, you millions safe at home? We shall need food, we shall need clothes for our bodies and weapons for our hands. We shall need-need terribly and without fail-arms, equipment and supplies in a stream that is constant and never ending. What from you :!

Enforced LoydHy
 inUzinOiS Counties
Assoclated Press Dispatch.


 St. Louis, Mo-, March 2.-Enforced loyalty has been placed on a business basis in Macoupin, Madison and Montgomery counties in southern Ill., inois where the activities of pro-Ger- man propagandists recently became so pronounced that vigilance commit tees in numerous towns have forced hundreds of suspected persons to make public manifestations of their allegiance to the government. In one town two alleged leaders of seditious movements were tarred and feath- cred.
 Branches of the American Defense Society operating through vigilance committees in practically every town in the district have taken the lead in stamping out disloyalty. The first move to oust the propagandists was made in Staunton where an alleged leader of the I. w. w. and Chicago attorney were escorted to the city 1 limits, coated with tar and feathers and started walking in different di- rections. The reason for this aggres- sion was said to be the activity of the men. in causing dissension among
 several thousand coal miners near l Staunton.
 | On the same night more than one
 hundred persons were made to sign
 pledges of loyalty.
 News of the use of such stern meas
 ures spread and within a week Word
 en, Mount Olive, Gillsipie, Williamson
 Hillsboro and several other smaller
 towns made demonstrations. In some
 of these towns scores of persons were
 taken from their homes and requested
 to make public professions of their
 loyalty Several men were taken
 from their beds and, kneeling on the
 sidewalk, were forced to kiss every
 star in the flag. Some were made to
 sing the national anthem while others
 were compelled to play patriotic aii
 on musical instruments. Protests
 against such actions were construed
 as evidences of disloyalty. In sever al such instances arrests were made and federal charges preferred against | the men.
 The most serious result of the dem onstrations was in Hillsboro where Clifford Donaldson, 21 years old, was shot when the vigilance committee called at his fathers home in search of I. w. w. members. Shots were exchanged. Donaldson was killed and E. B. Emory, city marshall, and Ernest Flath was wounded. Later 1t was learned Donaldson had enlisted in the navy only few days before his death and that his father was unac- ouainted with any of the suspected persons.
 Members of the vigilance committee deny that they counsel violence. They insist that the district embraced by Macoupin, Madison and Montgomery counties for some time has been the objective of an active campaign by pro- German sympathizers.
 As evidence of their success they point to recent meeting of repre- sentatives of more than 1,600 mem bers of miners union in Staunton. In less than one week after two al- |leged sedition leaders had been tarred and feathered, the union voted con tribution of $81O per month for the Red Cross, purchased S1,o00 worth of Thrift Stamps, reinstated all mem- bers who had lost standing because of army and navy enlistment, arranged for payment of their dues during the period of the war, and ended mass

On February 16 the friends of German Democracy, an association composed of resident citizens of Ger man birth or parentage, adopted res olutions declaring their loyalty to the United States in this war against the autocracy which dominates the German people and desires to en- slave the world," assuring the people of Germany that, though Americans "loathe the military autocracy of the German empire," they "do not hate" Germans as such, racial hatreds hav- ing 'sno place in the heart of nation composed of all the races of the earth" and urging the German people to rise as freemen to ''rid themselves of their autocrats in order to estab- fish democratic Germany" Though these NFriends" may find that the German people and their rulers are practically one in spirit, their dis tinction is similar to that drawn by President Wilson, and their own worthy sentiment and purpose are manifest.
