f, to us men whose minds were filled
with all sorts of vague theories as to
the conduct of the government. Into
free America they brought these
ideas and started the propaganda
for their spread to people of foreign
and native birth. You, yourself, no
doubt, in times past have seen and
heard the soap box socialist or anar-
chistic orator, and have said regard
ing him that he was some fool So
cialist or agitator of some kind, and
went 1oyfully on your way, chasing
your favorite phantom of dollars or
pleasure. You did not stop to con-
slider why this street corner orator
was expounding his doctrines; you
did not stop to investigate whether
or not his utterances were falling
upon willing ears and being absorbed
by untutored minds; and SO it is not
surprising to find that we have this
condition with us at this time.

SEVERAL KE0KUK SOLDIERS
ARE GASSED BY GERMANS
keokuk Boys
Real Heroes

LuneVllie sector held by American
troops on the night of May 28, it be
came known today. Sergeant Charlie.
Bunyan Of Keokuk, in a letter to his
mother. Mrs. Amelia H. Bunyan, 91t
Johnson street, says that the gas came
over in two minutes and that the
Americans were compelled to veal
their masks all night long.
Hancock Gassed.
1t takes five hours for gas to evap
crate, he said.
Charles Hancock, another Keokuh
soldier, in letter to his mother, Mrs
Sarah E. Hancock, Pleasant avenue
West Keokuk, dscloses the fact that
he got little of the gas. Some Of the
boys in l. company. composed largely
Of Keokuk men, were in bad state
for some time, his letter says.
IL" Boys are Heroes.
There are sixty-t1ve Keokuk boys in
the 168th infantry, nearly all Of them
in Company L. Major Guy E Brewer
of Des Moines, is in charge OF the di-
vision.
1t was l. company that bore the
brunt of the attack on the night Of the
German attack How the lads from
the city proved to be heroes is told in
an account of the short, sharp battle,
published in THE Wild Rose" official
paper of the 16Sth infantry Of the Rain
bow division.
Here is, the wild Rose account of the
gas attack and the wonderful repulse
by Keok,lk's brave fight
ing men, with the others:
U. S. CASUALTIES FEW.
"The Germans in the LuneviiIe
sector, at half past twelve this
morning, launched heavy gas at
tack, then came over. They re-
turned, or some of them did, and
from the treatment they received
in the hand to hand fighting, it is
likely they will wait some time be-
fore sailing into this particular
group Of Americans again.
"About fifty Germans came over
after the gas attack. They were
met by some Of the troops who
went through the attack OF the
other night and bayonets and hand
grenades were used. Fourteen
Germans got In the American
trenches at one point. None re- Z
turned. Nine were killed, and
four are alive with wounds which
are very serious. One died soon
after being captured.
ain this attack the American
casualties were very small. The
American soldiers in this section
Of the line are particularly bitter
against the Prussians for their
various barbarous practices, also
their continuous gas attacks at
night got the Americans thorough

notions and impossible theories of ra-
dlcal socialism. You have read of the
depredations, the riots. the sabotage,
the murders of the L w. w. You
have noticed the class prejudice Gre
ated and capitalized by such organi-
cations as the Non-Partisan league.
These are storm clouds that at times
have come up over peaceful horizon
and have been laughed away by you
as being perfectly harmless.
You called their leaders cranks
and fools, but now when we perceive
these storm clouds gathering, merg-
ing their powers of destruction, we
discover the leaders of these unrest
elements are neither cranks nor
fools, and that they possess ability,
shrewdness, persistency and energy
to degree that seriously threatens
the very foundations of our democra-
cy; and we begin to realize that the
house of refuge which we have built
for our use in such emergencies, is
inadequate; that wellturned phrases,
texts from books, doctrines and
dreams, will not protect US when the
crucial time comes.

Change Inevitable.

"Our form of government, in theory
at least, asserts its willingness 20
make corrections and apply remedies
to defects which are developed or I'M
covered; defects which produce in
tolerahle conditions of life for the
worst used and weakest parts of our
population. AS government we have
not always done this; as a govern
ment we must do this or have it done
for us. A great change in our present
social order is inevitable. Have we
of the possessing class the vision and
the courage to marshal our forces
and thus bring about peaceful and
constructive modification, or shall we
continue to disregard the fast-grow-
ing army of revolt and submit to de-
struction and reformation.
I'VE crave prosperity and peace. 1t
is natural for us to do so. And YET,
the strongest men and the strongest
nations have been nodded in the cru
clble of adversely.
Wars with all their horror, never
theless have been the stepping stones
upon which civilization has climbed
on it's Journey through the centuries.
The great wars of history have torn
asunder the heart-strings of nearly
every generation; fair gardens and
green fields have been made desc
late; some of the most cherished
works of mankind have been de-
stroyed;-and yet, civilizations per-
iods of most intensive progress have
followed closely upon each returning
peace.
