ANTI-GERMAN FANATICIsM

In San Jose, California, a body of
men styling themselves the Knights
Of Liberty, resorted to German
methods in dealing with two al
legged pro-German sympathizers. One
man was hanged by the neck until
he was unconscious, then tied to a
tree and later taken away in an au-
tomobile. Another was tarred and
feathered and tied to a cannon in
the park. A member Of the gang
then telephoned to the police that
both men had been given FAR TRIALS
on charges Of unpatriotism
They may have been unpatriotic
They may have even been giving aid
and comfort to the enemy. But an
unorganized-or organized for that
matter-mob is not the place to
handle such cases. We have ample
laws for that purpose now. Con-
gress has attended to that. II there
Is evidence to warrant action the
courts are capable Of taking proper
care Of the guilty parties.

at war with a barbarous nation. II

But what kind of an impression

Mustard Gas.

Mustard gas is a misnomer. 1t
sounds as if it might be more irritat-
ing than dangerous-as if it might be
tused to to temporarily blind soldiers and
place them hors de combat rather
than to killing them. But in truth,
mustard gas is the deadliest instru-
ment OF warfare yet devised, and to
its use is given the credit for most OF
the German advance in their drives
this year.
1t may be said the term mustard
gas is twice misnomer. Not only
! does the word mustard convey a
wrong impression, but the stuff is not
a gas, but an amber fluid, about as
volatile as turpentine. Inhale it and
you die Mere contact by so much
as drop on soldiers coat sleeve
means a blister similar to that caused
by mustard. But it doesn't appear
until hours afterward, though it is
certain to come unless the drop is
carefully removed. The burn is deep
er than that from mustard. and
causes swelling, and mustard gas in
contact with soldiers eyes means
blindness
The Germans tried to capture
Bourbon wood at Cambria last spring
and made ten successive infantry at
tacks and were thrown back each
time. Then their supply of mustard
gas arrived and they took the wood.
The gas masks OF the British were
not OF sort to resist this new
weapon and they suffered terribly be-
fore retiring. In some cases they
threw aside their masks and worked
in the saturated atmosphere freely,
not realizing the terrible penalty they
were to pay later on. For mustard
gas does not seem offensive to the
smell, and, as before stated, does not
act Immediately.
1t is satisfying to know that the
Germans are to have. no monopoly
on the use of this deadly war weapon.
Our chemical experts have been at
work and we are now producing large
quantitic, of mustard gas tor use by
our troops abroad. And it is just
one-fourth more toxic, or deadly,
than that made by the Germans.
Some OF these days we are going to
be moving forward in big offensives
ourselves and the kaiscrs troops are
going to be paid back in the same
sort of medicine they have been SO
free to use. Some of these days they
are going to be appealing for the
adjustment OF gas in warfare. but
until they are ready to give the
world what it wants in the way of as
surance for permanent peace. there
isn't much chance that the use OF gas
will be climinated.--Joplin Globe.

u. S. Dry Law Action Delayed Until

Washington. D. G., July l3.-Na-

advocates secured the definite pledge
that the bill shall have right of way
when the vacation recess period of
the Senate ends.
The prohibition advocates are CON
ident they have majority to keep in

time production provision soon after
the vacation ends. The opponents
are hopeful that during the coming
weeks there may be developments to
defeat or modify the legislation.
Some Senators heard during the
day that President Wilson may take

report said he favors proposal to
