Since the country entered the war slackers. trouble breeders and pro-Germans have been annoying real Americans until the latter are about ready to take drastic measures to suppress them all, because they curse to the country. They hamper every aim. every move made to win the war. But as contemptiblc as they are. We consider. them angels compared with these rich profiteers, whose hypocrisy is exceeded only by their greed They took advantage of the sit uasion to rob the governmental rob the people. They placed themselves in the position of the man who rohs his benefactor- They have been traitors to the country. While the people are making every effort to help the government. the profteers devote their time to robbing them. If the charges can be proven. their property should be confiscated and themselves. sen. so tine front and there dig trenches the rest of their days. Prison Is too good for them.
