CURRENT COMMENT.

THE second year Of our war has be-
gun. the first ir which we are to
realize the sacrifice for which war
calls. The yellow streak has not yet
shown. But let every American be a
round to see that it does not spread
il it arrives. This summer comes the
jolt of the losses. We will lose the
cockiness Of self-assurance, but let US
gain the confidence of faith in our
cause and in our men. We must not
be surprised at the rabbit in the blood
and we can remove it by real under
standing of the necessity of our fight,
the righteousness of our cause and the
certainty Of ultimate success.

NEXT LIBERTY LOAN APRIL 6
Anniversary Of Americas Entry Into
World War Is Fixed for Sale Of
Third Liberty Loan.

Washington.-On April 6. the first
anniversary of the United States en-
try into the war. the third Liberty
loan will open. There will be cam
paign of three or four weeks. In an
nouncing the date Secretary McAdoo
said the amount of the loan, the in
terest rate and other features, such
as convertibility of bonds of previous
issues, maturity and terms OF pay
ment, are yet to be determined, and
that new legislation will be necessary
before plans can be completed.
The fact that the amount of the loan
Is dependent on further legislation in
dicates that it will be for more than
$500, 100000, the remainder of au-
thorized but unisssed bonds, and tlle
fact that certificates OF indebtedness
now being sold in anticipation of the
loan bear Az per cent affords some
indication of the interest rate
How large the loan shall be depends
largely, however, on the fate of the
pending war finance bill carrying an
appropriation of half billion dollars
and action on the railroad bill, with
Its appropriation of a similar amount.

New York-Col. Theodore Roose-
welt, smiling broadly and answering
"bully" when asked how he felt, re-
ceived visits from friends at the Hotel
Langdon, where he occupied a suite
after leaving the Roosevelt hospital
Although physicians had announced
that their distinguished patient might
be subject to dizziness, he showed no
signs of 1t to friends and admirers.
The colonel will remain at the Lang
don under observation of doctors un-
til he returns to Oyster Bay.
When Col. Roosevelt left the hospi-
tai he walked with vigor and a firm
step. He had been a patient there
since Feb 6 and had undergone opera
tions in both ears and for internal
trouble. The colonel is now deaf in
his left ear, but will probably slowly
recover that sense
How serious the coloners illness has
been became known for the first time
when the final bulletin on his condi-
ton was issued by his physicians.
This bulletin also revealed that the
vigorous constitution of the colonel
will not down despite his handicaps.
1t was revealed not song ago that the
ex-president is blind in one eye, the re-
suit of boxing bout with an army Of
ficer, and 1t must be remembered that
he was shot in the breast some years
ago at Milwaukee.
The colonel will keep his speaking
dates in Maine on March 2S, and also
will fill other engagements.
For the last four years." said the
final bulletin, Col Roosevelt has in.
termittently suffered from the after
effects of his Brazilian exploration.
This has not interfered with his activ-
tiles, which have been above those of
the normal man.
"The present acute attack has given
us the opportunity to remove the
cause, probably completely, and we be-
lieve from the rapidity with which the
incision has healed he is in an unus'l-
ally vigorous condition, and that he,
will speedily be in even better shane
than before"

SECRETARY WILSON ORDERS BIG
ROUNDUP IN DETERMINATION
TO STOP SABOTAGE.
UNREST IN THE NORTHWEST
Agitators viii Be Detained and De.

Committed-Guilty Americans
To Be Punished.

Washington.-A vigorous policy for
the suppression of anarchists and iii
who advocate sabotage and other
forms of lawlessness was announced
by Secretary Wilson in orders to I'M.
migration officials in the northwest
to proceed Immediately to arrest
aliens guilty of spreading such doc
trines. Even though they may not
commit any overt act, they will be de.
tanned and deported.
The secretary's action was in an.
swer to requests from employers and
civic organizations of Seattle and 9th.
er cities that the department under.
take the wholesale internment of In
dustrial Workers of the World, who
were blamed for Industrial unrest, par
ticularly in the logging camps. Mr.
Wilson held that membership in the
| w. w. organization was not its elf
cause for arrest or deportation, but
aliens who preach overthrow of tie
government by force, assassination,
or who are in any other manner sub
ject to deportation under the immigra
tion laws should be taken into GUS
tody at once.
The department stands ready to
support the roundup of anarchistlc
agitation by supplying funds to obtain
additional quarters If tre Seattle sta.
tion proves inadequate for interning
them.
Orders for the suppression of radi-
cal propaganda by aliens are regarded
by officials as the final step in the
governments determination to put a
stop to extremists who seek to inter
fere with the prosecution of the war
from motives sincere or otherwise.
Citizens of the United States who
preach anarchy will be handled by
the Department of Justice, which
brought about the Arrest of scores OF
|. w. WIS in the nationwide raids
last year.
Secretary Wilson's order was issued
with full personal knowledge of the
situation in the northwest.

notwithstanding to the Daily
Mail, 1t is understood that the allies
have decided to ask the Japanese 70
take steps necessary for the protec-
tion of the allies in the Far East.
Stress Is laid on the fact that the
British and Japanese governments
hold that Japans Intervention IN the
Russian affairs is not to be cor
strued as an act of hostility to Rus
STA or the Russian government. its
purpose Is to safeguard menaced al.
lied interests and to protect stores
and munitions at Vladivostok and to
assist Russia to tighten and eventuai-
ly lift the burden of the German yoke.
Premier Lloyd George visited the
American embassy and had an impo--
tant conference with Ambassador
Page, according to the Daily News.
which believes the meeting was in
connection with Japan's Intervention n
in Siberia
1t Is quite unusual for a premier to
visit foreign embassies. Such calls are
usually made by the foreign minister.
Accumulated at VIadivostok are
military supplies of all kinds, much of
American manufacture, and even great
er quantities of Japanese origin, de-.
livered long before the Bolsheviki took
possession of the Russian government.
The Stevens commission of American
engineers made extraordinary efforts
to improve the facilities to the Siber-
ian railroad so that these stores could
be transported t. the Russian army
and much of the accumulation was re-
moved The great quantities remain
ing, however, suffers seriously from
deterioration due to exposure to the
weather and other causes. Some of
the supplies are on the docks and in
warehouses and even In the open both
at Vladivostok and at points westerly
on the railroad.
This situation is regarded by the
Japanese as warranting some meas
ures to secure these stores, even IL
this involves military action on their
part.

EMBARGO ON CORN IMPORTS
President Takes Action To Facilitate
Wheat Movement BY Barring
Corn temporarily.

Washingtcn.-The government has
ordered temporary embargo on corn
imports from overseas.
The action first to be taken under
President Wilson's recent imports IL
cense proclamation was deemed neces-
sary to facilitate movement of the
new wheat crop from South America
and hasten relief promised Switzer-
land"
Cargoes OF corn already afloat will

The war trade board explained no
hardship will result to South Ameri-

1t will affect only states having sur.
plus of both grains for export"

Won HINOENBURG WORRIED
Germans Try To Gain information
About American Troops Through
Trench Raids.

New York.-Von Hindenburgs un-
certainties concerning whereabouts of
American troops along the west front
have been responsible for a series of
strong reconnoitering raids by Ger
man shock troops.
The object of the raids was to cap
ture a few prisoners In the various
sectors. to discover what trenches the
Americans are holding and in what
strength. There is no humiliation at
tached to these captures. 1t is almost
always possible to seize a few prison
ers If the raiders are prepared to sui
fer sufficient casualties. Won Hinden.
burg has put very high value on IL
formation concerning the whereabouts
of American troops, as the compare.
lively large German losses show.
The new information obtained by
Won Hindenburg adds to the confusioa
that must exist at German headquar-
ters as to the main objective of Ger.
Pershing's forthcoming offensive. Ear
lier in the week the Germans found
Americans In the trenches near Sois-
sons.
Won Hindenburg apparently was
surprised at encountering Americans
so far away from their original base
along the Lorraine front To make
sure that there were still American
troops in the Lorraine area, he order
ed raid at Seichepray. close to s..
Mihiel, and there captured enough
Americans to make another puzzle for
the German general staff.

have shown their usual adaptability
Gas was used in all three attacks In
just sufficient quantities to make

their later attacks did not desire :,

There were many other instances
of personal bravery. A lieutenant. a
sergeant and two privates were ig

in. One cried out in good English:

The four Americans blazed away
with their automatics, then rushed the
entrance to stumble over the bodies of
the men, who they had killed by their
quick resistance.
Although the army has been ours

there is one man in the line who is
glad it was muddy, for he owes his
life to the slippery duck boards or
the flooring in the trenches. With
pistol in hand, he rounded a trench
corner looking for the Germans. A
burly Prussian saw him first and fired
but at the same moment the Ameri-
can slipped and fell on his face. The
Prussian thought him dead and
turned away. He was quickly dropped
in his tracks by the prone American,
who fired accurately from the trench
bottom. There were men in the fight
from virtually all the states from New
York to Texas. With one or two ex-
ceptions, all the wounded are expect.
