WILL LEND DIRECT
TO ALLIED NATIONS
UNITED STATES TO MAKE LOANS
TO ALLIES WITHOUT ENG
LANDS GUARANTEE

WASHINGTON - A Encouragement
of allied credits, by which the United
States will lend large amounts more
directly to France, Italy and the other
allies instead of through Great Britain,
is under consideration by the treas
ury.
This would tend to lessen Great
Britain's obligations to the United
States and decrease the demands of
other allies on her.
The United States has now extended
credits to the allies of $5,2S5, 100000,
including $13S,0O0,O0O still to the cred
it of Russia, and has paid out $4,900,-
900. Great Britain has received $2,-
720,O00,OO0, France has received ST.
sos, 100000, and Italy s550,O0O,000.
The principal difficulty of arrang-
ing the loans direct to other govern
ments than Great Britain lies in the
accounting and in determining what
share of purchases are ultimately in
tended for the various nations.

CRIMINAL SYNDICALISM LAW, SIM
LIAR TO IDAHO'S STATUTE,
ADOPTED
ORDINANCE IS PASSED
WILL PUNISH ALL ADVOCATES OF
SABOTAGE AND OTHER l. w.
w. METHODS

SPOKANE new criminal
syndicalism ordinance passed yester-
day by the city council, abolishing the
preaching and teaching of sabotage
intimidation and other radical means
of effecting political and industrial re-
form, is regarded purely as a prepar-
edness measure by the city officials.
Legitimate and patriotic labor or
ganizations and loyal property owners
and citizens have nothing to fear from
the act, but on the contrary the act is
protection for them and their well
fare as well as a safeguard against
enemy activity against the nation
itself, it is contended.
John L. Metcalf, socialist of Cres-
ton, Wash, formerly a member of the
I. w. W.; D. P. Reid, president Of the
Spokane Sectional Central Labor
Council, and Rabbi Jerome Rosen Of
Temple Emanuel, each spoke in yes
terday's meeting of the council against
the measure. II
President Reid of the labor council
opposed it on the ground that it was
a measure sought by the employers
association, and because it was almost
identical to the state act vetoed by the
governor after organized labor had
opposed it as a measure not needed.
Rabbi Rosen, who stated he was
born in Russia, warned the council
that it was just such measures as this
ordinance that had driven the radical
elements in Russia to secret meetings
and desperate deeds.
sI look upon this ordinance passed
yesterday as a true, patrlotlc meas
ure," today said Mayor Fassett mo
patriotic citizen need have any fear of
it, for it will strike only the enemies
of this nation.

that this ordinance will drive the I.

ments under ground, will say that

Commissioner Tilsley said:
"Only the man or group of men who

paredness measure. We will have it 1t |

terwards proved that Kerensky was right and that even his mild policy was too severe for the newly-awakened Russian people.
 The Bolshevik party was considered long before it came into power and pronounced helpless and futile anomaly. The party might be divided into three groups.
 In the first place and perhaps strongest there are large number of paid German agitators and propagandists whose sole pur- pose is to reduce the country to a complete bring relief and thus gain power with the Russian peasant who primarily desires peace and to be left alone.
 The second class is composed of mix ture of fanatics, escaped criminals, released political prisoners and expatriated Russians These people have been driven by fancied and real wrongs of many years into frenzy of anarchistic revolt. Their motives were not the same as those of the German leaders, but they found their doctrines to be quite congenial and were perfectly willing to follow so long as their aims were accomplished
 The third and by far the largest class is made Up of tremendous body of ignorant workrnen and soldiers who have some slight idea of democracy and who will follow the leaders who make things look the easiest to them. They believe that freedom means idle ness and that liberty is a reversal of power giving them tyranny over their late masters They are without conscience and know not loyalty to their country. They make easy prey for the German.
 It was easy to tear down the Kerensky government with such people, but to build Up a new and satisfactory one was, as fore told, impossible The German idea is to es- tablish form of their own, but the Russian is too distrustful, and already we see the signs of the waning power Car Nicholas, according to latest dispatches, is reported killed by the retiring anarchists.
 Kerensky, with full knowledge of these conditions, comes to us and will show where we can do the most good. America stands before Russia as the greatest successful de- mocracy and they are anxious to learn how, from us. They realize that the German can not give it to them. England is we'll thought of and can do much to help, but it is through America that the greatest good can be done.

GODSPEED

Today the boys who have been selected to serve in the National Army leave town for Fort Gibbon. It is with mixed feelings that we see them go. We have feeling of pride that this town can supply such fine lot of young men. For we are proud of them. They are credit to us all and we feel sure that they will continue to be credit to the town from which they hail. Then we have a deep regret and feeling of pity for our selves, that we have to lose them, even if creatures, you know, and we hate to see the flower of our youth go out and leave the town. They will leave a hole that will be hard to fill. Then our heart goes out to them as they start for the great unknown It is hard to tell just what is ahead of them. They do not know; we do not know All we can do is to give them our best wishes for the future, and make them feel that our hopes go with them, and that we will stand firmly behind them here at home.
 Some take great credit upon themselves because, as they say, they don't wait to be drafted; they volunteer. But after a isn't 1t just as democratic to wait for the draft? Our lawmakers have deemed it wisest to have our National Army selected by means of the draft. So aren't those who abide by that decision and wait to be drafted showing a democratic spirit that is of the best? Not that any the less credit is due those who have enlisted They have shown fine, typically American spirit, which makes it hard for them to wait for the unreeling of the red tape of the law. But no one should cast any discredit, even in their thoughts, upon those who have waited for the draft.
 We give our boys the best sendoff that we know how, and cast our fears for them into the background, while we send them forth with a hearty handshake and cheerful smile, We wish them Godspeed oil their journey, and may the best of good fortune be their lot.

THE NEXT LIBERTY LOAN

The fourth Liberty Loan has been all nounced for next October. It is time for Us to plan to do our share. Do you plan on in- vesting every dollar possible in Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps? Are you figuring on how many ways you can save little on your salary or income? It is only buying to a point where you are making real sacrifice that gives you share in the war There are many who still do not realize that You have not begun to have share until you have put i'll all possible and begin on the sacrifice When you go home without that steak, let the cigar go, get along without the after-movie lunch or have that party gown made over, then the sacrifice has begun
 An appeal that has often been used is :: Our boys in the trenches are doing their bit to make the world safe for democracy and home safe for you and yours. It is therefore up to you, who stay behind, to do your bit: namely, to purchase Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps" Bit is not the appropriate word for what the boys in the trenches are doing. It is their all. They have gone. They have left mothers, wives, children, sweethearts, homes and work. They brave all kinds of dangers to get there, and then, what ?-bullets, gas, fire and every kind of force which the Hun can bring to bear The trenches are full of rats and vermin They have done this because of their coun- try and their desire to protect its honor and freedom. Theirs is a big gamble with life as the stake.
 For those who are at home "bit' is the right word. In fact, we are asked to give nothing. What the government could take by taxation is put up for sale as the best security that the world has ever offered Gov ernment bonds have always been sought after. The interest rate now is abnormally high. They take preference over the best corpora tion stocks and bonds.
 That the country can we'll afford the large loans is shown by Thomas Morrison in a late number of the Century Magazine:

a disgrace that would be keenly felt by the whole town of Fairbanks if anyone here so lacked the proper spirit that they would de-
 iberately make false returns and try to de- fraud the government of its just dues. At a time when our young men are giving them selves freely and whole-heartedly to the cause of Democracy, person would have to be a dyed-in-the- wool stacker, indeed, to shirk such a small thing as the income tax. Think how little thing it really is to pay a small tax on your income, just to give small sum of money, in comparison with the supreme sac ri6ce that the young manhood of the coun- try is making. Surely the failure to make proper returns here is due to misunder- standing and will be immediately rectifed, now that attention has been called to it. The pride of the community demands it. The honorable record that we have made must be kept clean and free from the stain of the shirker

CASE
 NOW FINISHED:
 VERDICT GUILTY

The trial of Charles c. Pyne, charged with seditious utterances, came to a close last evening after being before the court for two days, with the argument of the prosecu- tion. and the case was given into the hands of the jury.
 The specific charge in the con- plaint was that the defendant on June 15 gave utterance to the fol. lowing: "The conscription act is a slur on the republic. The conscrip- tion act is a joke. The rich man doesn't have to go and the poor man does. To me personally 1t makes no difference if the allies or the Germans win the war. The United States has three men paid to lec- ture about the war and to lie to and fool the public"
 Numerous witnesses were brought forward by both the prosecution and the defense to testify For the for mer, as to the statements made by the defendant previous to the en trance of the United States in the war and as to the statement made by the accused for which he was on trial. For the defense, as to his character and general attitude toward the government
 The greater part of the first day was spent in securing jury, no less than "A being summoned be- fore the jury was impaneled. Those selected were as follows. Archie Mcintyre, Walter Fisher, Wm.
