LYNCH LAW

YNCHNS IN the United States in all the forms of mob A violence confined substantially to the illegal kill ing of the violent and unlawful nteracons between the forces of labor and capital and recently to these has been added the occasional ynching of German sympathizer
 Against all the forms of mob violence President Wilson makes strong protest and especially against that form which aughrs the reputed sympahizer without trial and without recourse to the courts.
 There is in the normal human mind repugnance to mob violence which may be the product of design and wreak pr vae vengeance and almost apt destroy the innocent the guilty.
 Additional exist why there should be more mob violence against the black He is soldier fight other Americans and must have the justice other Americans receive
 Again is it necessary owing to the and the necessity for harmony that labor and capital shall do all things in under the law and obedenty to law that will be redesed by legal Dynamite ourages the destruc tive of militia called in strikes and used virtually mobs used the ynchng of labor leaders all must stop Law and order justice and must replace the old and hateful methods.
 labor leader who dynamites property, who does hold the doctrine of wfu destruction of the w. w. do is Amercan and honest aid to progress, but exceedingly stupid criminal, and threat to society.
 As for the lynchng of enemy aliens is stupidity too great for description The president utterly characerize this species of lynch law when he says that those who deprive aliens of due process of law make themselves than Huns There to be considered the right of Americans in Germany where due of law will surely not be given if it is denied to German citizens in America
 The law gives remedy for every species of treason If any know of who deals in treason let the reasonable sedous recaciran be reported to proper ing who represents the department of justice of the Federal government in this district.
 It does not become those who fighting reign of law in the world to deal by mobs with anybody.

THE COMPULSION

 Men doubtless obey laws that deep seated unoberved Nearly every has personal repugnance but continually occur and always have The chief difference between modern and the wild he past that the modern fight with fury enacy than the savages did.
 The group knows group, and always knows, what sometimes the individual fails to understand that the tribe who will not fight cannot fight will be exngushed by some tribe who and will.
 The feeling of self preservation brings all into the ranks and compes the individual to subordinate himself tirely to the collecvity.
 The soldier makes the supreme sacrifice. He requires of those at home similar subordnaOn of their selfish When the nation makes instead of merely army discipline which the civilian lays upon himself more severe because 1t IS more than the discipline quired of the civilian in the old times

DonneIly, a merchant of St. Johns, Newfound land, who paid s100 for a twenty word message. Several years ago MT. Don nelly sent the first message by the new "cable letter. and paid only $1.50. The first telegraphic messages sent across the Atlantic were ex- changed in 1858 between Queen Vic toria and President Buchanan.

SuDudTIIlS "dE1dTps
 The past year has been marked by a gradual decline of submarine sink ings as compared with the number of ships being built by the Entente all lies. The operations of the British and American destroyers have spread terror among the "wasps of the sea-. while great mine field completed in May by the British navy converted virtually the whole North Sea into an area closed against U-boat activities.
 The harbors of Zeebrugge and Os- tend, from which German submarines had been operated against Entente shipping, were either sealed entirely or made virtually valueless as subma- rine bases by daring naval and air raids by the British in May
 U-Boats in American Waters.
 German submarines visited Ameri- can waters in June and sank at least ten ships, the field of the U-boat ope- rations being from the North New ter sey coast south to the Virginia Capes and easterly half way to the Bermu- das.
 The only United States transport lost while carrying troops to Europe was the Tuscania, which was torpe- doed off the north coast of Ireland on February with loss of PIP men.
 Hospital Ships Sunk.
 During the year eleven hospital ships have been sunk by submarines, the latest and most fragrant case of this violation of the Geneva Conven- ton being the destruction of the Brit ish steamer Llandovery Castle, car This took place on June 27. only 24 of the 25S persons on board being res cued.
 The total shipping reported sunk since August 1, 1917, is more than A. 250,000 tons.
 Against this destruction of shipping the Allies have combined their ship building capacity. The actual num- Der of tons of shipping launched and put into service has not been pub lished. Official announcements have been made in the recent past, however, to the effect that more ships are being built than are being sunk. On July 4, ninety vessels were launched at American shipyards.
