interesting legal battle, according
to U. s. Attorney Fishburne. The
nice point Of law involved is in a
concluding paragraph of the
pamphlet, which says:
Therefore l would say to you,
IL any reader of these pages
should feel within his soul the
stirring ambition to become a SOL
der, enlist! But enlist in the
army Of the United States of
America, whose arch enemy al
ways has been and still is Great
Britain. l am ashamed to look
in the face of any German for
fear that l may have taken by my
rifle or my bayonet the life of
either husband, son or brother in
the unworthy cause of British
greed"
Is copyrighted.
The grand jury is convinced,
as is U. s. Attorney Fishburne,
that this is interfering with en-
listment and other war work in
America, and that 1t is giving aid
to Americas enemy, Germany.
"Thrt. ~. the pamphlet, the
motive of the writer clearly is to
hamper enlistment in the war;"
says Fishburne.
Altho the pamphlet bears a
government copyright mark of
1916 and the League of Human
ity" directs the distributor that
he can circulate this book with
fmpunity" as it is copyrighted By
the U. s. government, and no book
that Is immoral, seditious or trea-
sonable can be copyrighted, /"
Ffshburne is confident that Bo-
strom will be convicted for circu-
lating 1t when he faces a jury of
American citizens.

Sedition Case Raises
Undecided Law Point

May a person in the United
States spread propaganda de-
|nouncing one of Americas allies?
Is such propaganda, accusing
one of our allies of atrocities and
greed, while at the same time ex-
pressing loyalty to the U. S., to be
regarded as giving aid and COM
fort to the enemy?
The question Is to be deter
mined definitely, probably for the
first time in the U. s. since the
war started, by the jury which
tries Frans BostrOm, proprietor of
the Liberty book store, 813h Pa
cific ave.
Praises Hun Methods.
On evidence obtained in a po-
lice raid on the store month
ago, Bostrom has been indicted
by the federal grand jury on a
charge of circulating seditic' 8
literature. The indictment is
based on pamphlet entitled
"Shanghaied Into the European
War" alleged to have been dis
tributed by Bostrom, a socialist.
The pamphlet is published by
the League of Humanity" 143
N. Dearborn ST., Chicago. 1t is
written by one Daniel H. Wal
lace, who claims to have been
formerly member of the 9TH u.
Is. cavalry.
He says he was duped by a
British agent and forced into the
British service by treachery and
deceit.
He accuses British forces of
atrocities to which he claims to
have been q witness, at the same
time praising the Huns for their
treatment of prisoners.

DENIES
UNIONS
CHARGE

In brief statement issued from
the Tacoma offices of the Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph Co. Friday,
Manager John Schlarb denied all
charges by telephone girls that
they were being shown discrimi-
nation because of their union af-
. citations.
Schlarb said that relations of
the telephone company and its en-
ployes were in the hands of medi-
ators representing the government,
and that he would not discuss any
statements made by the union
members in The Times Thursday.
THE relations of the telephone
company with its employees are
now in the hands of the federal
mediator, Mr.. White" said Mana
ger Schlarb in his statement.
II do not wish to interfere in
any way with Mr.. Whites efforts
at this time.
Il will say, however, that there
has been absolutely no discrimina-
tion shown toward employees who
are affiliated with labor unions
since the settlement of the strike"

BUYS
ANOTHER
TEN CARS

An additional fleet of 10 street
cars was ordered by the city coun-
Gil Friday for the municipal tide
flats car line. One batch of 10 is
already on the way from Chicago,
and due to arrive soon.
With the second batch of cars,
the city will have 80 cars for its
two-mile line.
1t was necessary for the city to
seize quickly an offer of 10 more
cars in Chicago at $25, 900, be-
cause its option on them was due
to expire Friday night and other
prospective purchasers had offered
$4,000.
Double tracking of the city's
line is already In progress, so that
the 80 cars can be handled expe-
ditiously.
The extension of the car line on
Taylor way to the Buffelin and
Dodge mills will be completed this
week.

Wadsworth declared the artil-

Senator Weeks told Of lack OF

How do you reconcile the
statement that there is no general
lack with that?" he was asked.
Il didn't say that snapped
Baker. II said initial rush needs
