vised by the attorney general, Will

poration In favor of the political
organization, involves.
The law declares against corpora

organizations, and Mr.. Hastings has
said that the check simply repre-

HAEG ANNOUNCES
FINAL TRIUMPH
tcontinued from Page onel

cannon sent tons of explosives crash
wind barrage last night and early
this morning.
The air trembled and the earth
rocked with the continuous roar of
explosions. The exploding shells
throbbed wildly against clouds from
which rain poured, the flashes being
visible for many miles.
The British armies attacked in a
converging operation in a northeast
erly direction. The fourth army,
with which the Americans were CO.
operating, attacked at a gap in the
last Hindenburg system and for
miles on both sides, while the third
army was in action up to Cambria
attacking along the continuation Of
the Beaurevoir- Masnieres line both
on the front and in a turning move
ment. So, it would appear that the
general idea is to smash down the
Hindenburg system completely on a
broad front, enabling operations to
be carried out to the east of it.
The first phase of the attack be-
gan about o'clock in the morning
when the infantry with the assist
ance Of an intense barrage, stormed
the high ground Immediately south
Of Cambria, where the Cambria
Percnne railway runs along. Spe-
cial attention was given to other
high ground in the southern out
skirts Of Cambria, as the town is
known to be strongly occupied by
the enemy.
Already British forces north of the
town have gone well to the eastward
SO that success at the south should
undoubtedly result in squeezing it
into British hands
The troops are now pushing for
ward toward Walincourt, Malin-
court, Esnes, Wambaix, Serain,
Fremont, Brancourt, and Lesdain,
and towards the Cambrai-Lecateau
road. If this road is cut it will
further insure the. speedy fall OF
Cambria
Bitter fighting was in progress just
south of Cambrai when the British,
Americans and French for twenty
miles to the south went over the top
A cold rain had started during the
night and continued. Mist and fog
assisted the attack in some places
The enemy's counter attacks at
many places appeared to have been
weak and thin, for the Germans,
realizing the despaTateness Of their
position had moved their guns well
back. The British barrage did ter
rible damage among the ranks of the
retiring Huns. The principal resis-
tance came from the machine gun
ners. lighting from pockets and nests
as heretofore.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-12-13
THIS Is ADDRESSED TO AMERl-
CAN WORKING MEN

Stop and think, Mr.. Working Man,
Who goes about the country preaching
discomfort and anarchy? Who carries
the red flag of the bolshevist? Is 1t
not true that nineteen out of twenty
men all over this country who are
constantly preaching the doctrine OF
discomfort are foreigners Men VINO
came here from a country where they
had less freedom, less opportunity
and less education, and very much
lower wages? Why is it that as soon
as they get to this land of the free,
free speech and free opportunity, at
least freer than in the land from
whence they came, why do so many
of them become agitators? l verify
believe it is because they can make
an easy living off our working men.
Our working men are industrious,
most of them receiving fair, and some
high. wages. And above all, the
American working man is generous
with his money, and these foreigners
find agitating the easiest and best
having Job in sight. 1t has been esti-
mated that the working men of the
United States contribute every year
fifty million dollars to the support of
agitators. These foreign agitators
write back to their home folks that
they are making a good living in the
United States by just talking. Telling
the American working men how
much better they could do If
they would follow their advice, and
Immediately there is an influx OF
more agitators to get some of the
easy money. That man Mooney is a
foreigner and a professional agitator
according to his own statement. he
can make more money and make 1t
easier by agitating than working.
American laboring men have con-
tributed more than hundred
thousand dollars to his defense
fund and are now trying to raise
more. We believe he had fair
trial, but since the trial judge said
he does not think he had fair trial
we hope he will be given new trial.
That is not the point, tho. The point
is, do our working men require for
eign advice. Can they really learn
anything to their lasting benefit from
the foreign agitator?

A LITTLE BUSINESS NOW AND
THEN

Western states need the wholesome
effect of injecting business methods
into their public administration.
Here is little object lesson show
ing what can be accomplished
merely applying private methods in
public affairs.
In the fall of 1914 the state of Con-
necticut had net Indebtedness draw
ing interest amounting to $10,S60,00O.
Mark Holcomb, hard-headed law
yer, who could not have been elected
in some states, was made governor.
He put over business system that
brought all departments under state
board of finance, and he kept his
thumb on that board.
The joint committee of the legisla-
ture on appropriations held its ses-
sions with the state finance board and
the governor had the veto.
Net result: In three years the debt
has disappeared, except some bonds
not yet due, but there is sinking fund
en- hand to meet them.
How was it done? Just plain, good
common sense business management
that any city, state or the nation can
get by insisting on it.

ABAS, FLAG OF ANARCHY

The movement in California on the
part of loyal citizens and various or
CARNATIONS urging the adoption by
congress of bill prohibiting the use
anywhere in the United States of the
red flag, black flag, or any other SYM
Dol antagonistic to the constitution
and laws of this country, is to be COM
mended.
America has one flag, the emblem
of liberty and justice. Returning sol
diers who have fought to keep this
flag unsullied, and the country safe for
democracy are in no mode when they
return to these shores to have the flag
of anarchy floating in their faces. 1t
naturally makes them feel that while
they fought the enemy abroad under
the stars and stripes, the enemy at
home has been allowed unrestricted
liberty. To demand that the men in
uniform, who have offered their lives
to protect the nation, leave these boil
sheviki undisturbed to shout their in
cendiary speeches, wave their red flags
and plot to wreck the country, is ask
ing almost too much.
Much better to remove the cause of
the trouble. This naturally would not
apply to flags of other countries hav-
ing accredited representatives in this
country. But flags of anarchy should
not be allowed to flaunt themselves
in the breeze as goad and challenge
to patriotic and peace loving Amer
leans.

THE JOB HE LEFT BEHIND HIM

Many expedients have been sug-
gested as to the best thing we can do
to make places for returning soldiers.
and sailors.
Retaining land by clearing out
stumps, reclamation, irrigation, drain
age, ETC., are sought to be made pop
ular undertakings.
Allowing for the restless and unset
tied frame of mind produced in many
men by war, most of them will want
to return to their jobs.
Unemployment is a ruthless enemy,
and what any man wants first of all
who works for living, is a job, upon
his return to civil life
The first thing for our returning
millions of men is good times with
business and industry in a vigort
unlocking condition.
The worst thing for our boys who
are coming home is to find industry
slack, business slow and prosperity a
minus article.
Industries should not be hampered
and discouraged by foolish legislative
experiments, regulations and high
taxes.
