MORE TO THE POINT

There are those in this country who, while protesting loyalty to the United States, express opposition to France and England, particularly to the latter. In our opinion criticism of, or oppo- sition to- either France, Italy or Eng land at this time cannot be construed otherwise than as opposition and dis loyalty to the United States; for the interests, objects and purposes of all are the same. Moreover "an injury to one is the concern of all" The en- tente allies are working as unit, and therefore treason to one is treason to all. One cannot consistently support one and oppose the other nor should they The man who says he is in fa- vor of the United States but that France and England are getting what they deserve is a traitor to all three and should be dealt with as such.
 Those people who favor Germany and Austria Hungary should shake the American dust from their feet and get over among their own kind with out unnecessary delay. Have they the good sense to do it? or will they tempt fate by continuing their dastard- ly conduct toward the government that affords them asylum until that govern ment, with patience worn threadbare, takes them into custody and places them in the front line trenches? Such a course is not improbable, in fact may become advisable.
 There is still another deplorable side to this situation. Our soldiers and sailors are jeopardizing their health and their lives and devoting their en- tire time to their country's cause for about $30 per month, while the stay at-homes are earning from $100 to $200 per month, and striking for more, en- toying all the comforts of home and the association of loved ones, living of them feel frightfully abused when called upon to contribute pittance to the Red Cross with which to make the thirty-dollar boys more comfortable while fighting our battles. Is there any reason, justice or equity in this proposition? Shame on such citizen ship. The saying that one has done his bit" is ridiculous. It behooves every person in this country to do his might" and he or she who is not willing to do this should not be recog- nized either in our business or social life, for there is not cannot be, any middle ground upon this question, and those who are unwilling to get into the game and boost the nations cause should be compelled to step aside and out of the way as being neither bene- ficial or useful to government or soci- ety.
