Sen. Sterling Strong
For Loyalty

Washington, ID. c., Nav 6, 1918.
The Conference report on the bill
to amend the Espionage Act was
the occasion of some lively de.
bate in the Senate. An amend.
ment offered by Senator France
of Maryland providing that moth.
ing in the bill should be consuru.
ed to prevent the statement of
the truth with good motives and
for justifiable ends had been re
lected by the Conferees and there
was opposition to that part of the
report giving the Postmaster Gen.
eral additional power in regard
to excluding seditious and dis
loyal matter from the mails.
Senator Sterling, who was a
member of the subcommittee OF
the Judiciary Committee that
framed the amendment to the
Espionage Act making it unlaw-
ful to willfully utter or publish
any disloyal, profane. scurrilous
or abusive language about the
form of government, the consti-
tuition, the army and navy, the
uniform or the flag of the United
States. defended the conference
report. His contention was that
the bill did not prevent honest
criticism of any individual official
or any department of the Govern.
ment and that il was not in time
OF war an undue restraint upon
the freedom OF speech or of the
press. He said there were many
seditious utteranCes and publish
ed statements which, under the
definition of freedom as given in
the Constitution, coaid nos be
punished as treason but which in
time of war should be treated and
punished as offences against the
Government; that at present there
was no adequate law covering
this class of cases and that if such
a law was passed, the Govern
ment would have the power to
suppress disloyalty and there
would be no temptation to resort
to mob violence as there is sure
to be where there is no adequate
law The conference report was
sustained by a vote of AZ to Is
and on the signing of the bill BY
the President, the Department OF
Justice will be well equipped to
deal with those who show their
disloyalty by the utterances or
publications described in the new
law.

Farm Implements Un-

Nearly 1000 types and sizes
of farm implements which have
been gradually developed by
manufactures during peacetime
competition have heen recon-
mended for elimination during
the war by committees of the Ma

SoCiation. The object, according
to a statement by the Council of
National Defense, is to conserve
materials, labor, capital, and man
featuring facilities for war use.
In the report of the committee
meetings to the commercial econ

by the committees consisted of
steel and chilled plows, grain
drills, seeders. and other tillaee
implements and farm elevators.
Such of the recommendations
as the board deems suitable, with
others from different sources, are
being brought to the attention of

B0hemianS A Factor
In The War

Stories from Italy that Bohe
mian soldiers are leaving the
Austrian army and going over t.
fight with the Italians may be be
lieved. Similarly Bohemian reg
iments joined the Russians, anc
at the finish the fighting center
of Korniloff's army was com
posed of Czecho-Slavs who haC
transferred from the Central DOW
ers to the Allies. The soldiers
have not been caught up in the
bolshevik malestrom, but some
where maintain their organization
and are eager to strike again for
the freedom of their motherland.
This will explain why the defec.
tions on the Italian front, taken
with demonstrations at Prague
and elsewhere, are so disquietine
to the Germans.
Any effort or demonstration of
this sort weakens the German
cause, now and for the future as
we'll. 1t indicates the determina-
ton of the so-called submerged"
nations to reaSsert their individu-
alitv. Military bonds that have
dissolved in the corrosive smoke
of war, and with the freedom they
have looked forward to now in
sight they are not going to give
overeffortS until they have achiev-
ed their aims.
Bohemia has long been a resist
ing subject of the Austrian gov
ernment, held as a "crown-land"
and not as an equal in the empire.
The coalition between the Mag
var and the German that made
Bohemia's subjugation possible is
greatly weakened as result of
the present conflict and probably
can not be restored. Even with
the collapse of Russia, the pan
Slavic movement has not been
abandoned, and the fighting units
of the Czechs will afford a rally
ing point for the Slavs who seem
determined at last to break away
from German overlordship. As
Austria's strength is sapped in.
ternally, so does the prospect for
Germany's victory dwindle. b.
hemia's protest against the tyran-
nv of the Hapsburg is coming to
be an influential factor in the war.

LETTER ABOUT

Hendersonville, N. G.
Dear Folks
am taking time to write you a few
lines to let you know that all our Hen
Iderson county boys in my organizes
tion are alive and doing well. We get
plenty to eat, although some times we
don't know where it is coming from.
The battery has been through some
very exciting experiences lately and
all have heard the music of the shen
fire, the bursting, HE'S. and machine
guns. Nc one was hurt.
We have been moving so rapidly our
mail has been unable to catch up with
US and We have not been paid for the
past two months.
The thing which we need the most
Over Here is MAIL, so I request each
of you please write to some of us.
We are glad to say we have some
German machine guns which we were
able to pick up lately on the frons
and we are going to give the Boche
air birds some of their own lead il
they will only but fly low enough for
US to use the gun on them. Not many
days ago some of the German artillery
decided to drop few shells over us
to see how things were going and to
let us know that they were still in the
woods just beyond the hills from us.
They did so and the bursting shells
were close enough to some of the boys
had they been standing in place Of be-
Ting dat upon the ground, that they
would have aGone West" however,
no one was hurt and it was greas
Experience for them. The front we
are on now Is quite dangerous for
some people sulte tt1lftss, however,
fa1f the boys Of old Henderson are
withstanding the. hardships as they
should and each and every one wants
to be in at the 'sKill'' as we say when
we have a fox chase.
Some of us received some mail last
night, the first in over six weeks.
Those that did not should have and r
want to say again that we need the
letters and each Sister, Mother, Faith
er, Brother and Sweetheart, should
write to the boy >"Over Here" often as
letters from home will take away the
pangs OF hunger, the hardships OF
trench life; the very thoughts of war
will go away when we get the news
from home the long looked for letter
from Dad or the Girl. So write that
letter TODAY to the boy over here.
From the news we are able to get
here on the front we will soon finish
this war and then for the hills of W.
N. c., and Home. You know that
Xmas will soon be here now and We
all will expect box from you with
the good things to eat. But send the.
letters.

where there were in thu nc:gHhoF-

nesday a number of new cases VERT
reported and the physIctaI:s were in.
doubt as to whether the epidemic was,
increasing or subsiding.
The epidemic is mo Ti.>e from 'hr,

IMPROPER RESPECT SHOWN

A party Of women while recently

Estation at the time when train from

was left Of soldier who had given
his life for his country, was much
surprised and not little shocked to
notice that when the box enVeloped
in the folds of our country's flag was
borne through the station no head was
uncovered. nor was any sign of re-
spect either to the flag or dead SOL
der shown. The curious crowd gath
cred as usual at train time, accorded
to this hero and to it's country's flag
only a cursory glance and went abous'
it's business.
Should such things happen? Should
such an apparent lack of patriotic
feeling and understanding be per-
mftted? With no desire to criticise has
the above been written, but rather
with the wish to call attention to the
tact in the belief that in a patriotic
where so much is being
done in every way to add to the COM
Tort and welfare of the boys who have
gone across, such apparent indiffer-
ence to one who was denied that
privilege must come only Z from
thoughtlessness and with the hope of
preventing a recurrence in the fr-
ture. Surely one moment for re-
spect could be spared!

disgrace and dishonor men who per-
haps have sons now in France where
at any moment they may be called
upon to make the supreme sacrifice
for those at home? And who is in
directly, if not pufposely, attempting
to brand every man and woman who
dares not vote the Democratic ticket
as holding out hope to Germany? It
is hard to imagine what some people
would not do. in the last extremity to
secure political success.
