ARE WE IN THE WAR?

What a question! Of course we
are in the war. Wasn't war de-
clared over year ago? Haven't
we got men fighting in France and
more going over by every ship? Yes;
all this is true. But still the oues-
ton is repeated, are we in the
war?
But someone says Hogg Island
shlpyard is turning out two 1900
ton ships complete every week all
equipped with machinery and ready
for sea. The Victory Destroyer
Plant recently laid five keels in the
presence of Secretary Daniels and
put the frames up in one hour. Ford
is turning out submarine chasers by
the hundred. A vast force of fac
tories and men is employed in the
construction of aeroplanes. Thirty
two environments are training SOL
diers to be shipped to France. and
still the question is asked. Are
we in the war?
The question is to be answered
by the state of mind of those of us
VINO are not engaged in military
occupations and those of US who
are not engaged in war manufactures
or IN the production of war supplies
OF any kind. The answer is not
wholly ours, but we have as much
to say as anybody else and possibly
little more.
The men at the front know we are
IN the war. They see the visible
evidences of it, in the destructive
power of explosive shells, in the de-
Vastated districts, in the ruined lives
IN the rotting corpses in No-Man's
Land, and in countless other WAYS
but 1t is for us who sleep in our
own soft beds at night to answer
whether we are in the war. If
we realize that the man in the
trenches is fighting our fight. risk
ing ms life for our liberties as well
as MS own and, realizing that. if
we consider that nothing that we can
siVe' even to our last penny, be-
gins to measure with the sacrifice
that ne offers, and then if we are
willing to give as freely of that
which we have. as the man in the
trenches is offering his all, then we
are in the war.
But the government is not exact

TAKE EN- IN

The Czlcho-Slovaks, Jugo- Slavs,
Ruthenians and Slavonians now in
the United States, but born under
the Austrian Crown, and who failed
to take out naturalization papers,
are counted among the alien enc
mics of the country, though they are
friendly to the allied cause. They
are not enemies, though they are
aliens. They wish to become citi-
zens of the United States and
share with native born Americans the
burdens of the war. England. Can
ada, France and Italy welcome them
into their armies and there seems
to be no valid objection to a con-
gressional act allowing them to be-
come soldiers.

FICKERT LIED

SAN FRANCISCO, May 25. 49,
District Attorney Fickert has been
placed in an embarrassing position
by the publication of letter to
Gov. Stephens by Attorney G. S.
Arnold of this city.
When the presidents mediation
commission condemned the brand of
Justice handed Thomas J. Mooney,
Fickert announced that he was not
given an opportunity to fairly pre-
sent his side of the case. Fickert
created the impression that the presi-
dents personal representatives. jour
neyed to this city, hobnobbed with
a few "undesirables, and then wrote
scathing condemnation of the
Mooney prosecution.
1t is now shown that the commits
sion employed Attorney Arnold to
collect facts to aid the commission
in its findings. Fickert was given
every opportunity to be heard. The
first meeting between the parties
was held in Arnold's office, and the
attorney denies Fickert's claim that
it was a "five-minute interview"
"On the contrary" says the at
tOrney, sit was very considerable
session, lasting possibly an hour,
between men who quite obviously
knew exactly what they wanted to
say"
Attorney Arnold has forwarded a
copy of his letter to District Attor-
ney Fickert, but that official has
failed to indicate he has been thus
favored

BRITISH LABOR'S
POLITICAL ACTION

Chester NJ. Wright, member of the
American Trades Union Commission
to Great Britain and France writes:
Political action as a labor weapon
is more than likely to undergo a
revision in practice in Great Brit
ain. 1t is not possible to say now
even what may happen, but it is
safe to say that there is every likli-
hood of a change of method.
Too many undesired results have
come from the present political ac-
ton plan. British labor politics is
a complicated proposition which l
hope to describe in some detail at
later date. But roughly there is
the Labor Party, labor organiza-
ton that makes no pretense of be-
ing Socialistic and is not. 1t is the
powerful labor political machine
The Independent Labor Party, with
'oughly 10000 members, is Social
jst. The British Socialist party, a
small organization, is pacifist, like
the American Socialist party. But
nearly all of the small political or
CARNATIONS have some affiliation
with the Labor Party.
The British trade unionist realizes,
as does his American brother, that
the trade union movement must go
forward working its own way
through the intricate problems of So
,iety. 1t realizes, too, that dom
ination of labor movements by So
allied intellectuals leads usually to
disaster. The intellectual" has
1een no less mischievous in England
han in America and there appears
be an indication that British la
DOR is preparing to in some way to
get rid of any danger from that di-
ecticn. Though nothing more than
that can be said with any assurance
# accuracy, it is important to know
hat much
Englishmen don't worry about their
ling. 1t is interesting to discuss
he monarch with them. Politically
he matters nothing, one way or the
'ther. He provides a certain pleas
0g pageantry, is said to be likable
nan and has no more power than the
bird assistant secretary to some
)ody'S secretary Englisimen agree
hat he is really working hard try
ny to do what he can to help the
nation carry On" - Chester NJ.

FALSE REPORTS
ARE CORRECTED

SPOKANE, May 29.-Absolute de-
NAL of a purported statement from
food administration Officials that
further restrictions on the use of
wheat are unnecessary is contained
in telegram from Herbert Hoov-
er to Federal Food Administrator
Charles Hebberd today.
The telegram from Hoover is as
follows
Reports have been circulated that
food administration officials state
that further wheat conservation is
not necessary. No statement of
such character has ever been is
sued. The actual position is that
our supplies until harvest allow
home consumption of approximately
One-third of normal if we are to
maintain allied supplies. The ac-
tual position is that in farmers
hands and storage we had at the
beginning of May 100000 bushels
of wheat to carry US for approx
mately three months or with an
early harvest perhaps two weeks
shorter. Our normal consumption
for three months would be 12O.-
100000 bushels, not allowing the al
lies anything"

THREE LAKES JOLLY
PATRIOTIC MEETING

Thursday, the 23d, was Red Cross
day at Three Lakes and the Loyal
Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen
observed the day with much enthus-
iasm. In the evening an entertain
ment was given and everybody
drank to the full of the pleasures
of the occasion. A pleasing Incl
dent was the rattle of an enormous
cake and five-dolar box of candy.
Mrs. Nora Frye, of Everett, won the
candy, but we didn't learn who "took
the cake"
At the evening meeting Vice
President Francois of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor and Wilbert Pilon,
A. F. of l.. Organizer, addressed
the large audience on Initiative Petit
tions Nos. 81, 80 and 33 and secured
many signatures to the petitions.
The Everett visitors were E. A.
Francois and wife, Mrs. Gertrude
Tyler, Mrs. Nora Frye and Wilbert
Pilon.
The members of the Loyal Legion
of Three Lakes have each subscribed
for Third Liberty Loan Bond of
the 500 denomination.
Brother Pilon incidentally pushed
the Daily Union Record along, re-
ceiving number of subscribers.
The proceeds of the rattle above
mentioned was donated to the Red
Cross.

NEED OF NATIONAL
TRADEMARK URGED

The need of a national trademark
was urged recently at the spring
meeting of the National Retail Dry
Goods Association at Chicago, a
special address on the subject being
delivered by Chauncey P. Carter, of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Department of Commerce,
who had an important part in draft
ing the National Trademark Bill
now before Congress.
zone reason why a national trade
mark would be of great benefit to
the American manufacturers" ex-
planned Mr.. Carter, ais because there
is so much legalized piracy of pri-
vate trademarks in foreign mar
kets. The average manufacturer in
this country does not consider export
business until he has begun to ex-
haust the possibilities of the home
market. In the meantime it never
occurs to him that he ought to pro-
tect his trademark in foreign coun-
tries. See what happens, though:
A New York exporter purchases some
of his products and sends them to
certain country in South America.
The buyer there finds that they will
sell and writes back to the New York
exporter for an exclusive agency, nor
is he anxious to put him in direct
touch with the manufacturer. What
does the South American merchant
do then? He finds that the man.
ufacturer's trademark is not reg
istered in his country, SO he takes
out a registration in his own name.
Some years later the manufacturer
decides to enter the export field; he
inserts advertisements in export
journals and soon secures an order
from reputable concern in that
same South American country. The
order is accepted and the goods
shipped, but 10 and behold! when
they reach their destination they are
confiscated and held upon complaint
OF the other merchant, who cites his
trademark registration as proof of
his ownership of the mark, also ad-
ducing evidence to show that he was
the first user of the mark in his
country. And he has the law on
his side.
IF we had a national trademark.
owned and protected by our Gov
eminent, this American manufacture
er could outwit the pirate merchant
by merely stituting the national
trademark for his private mark on
all shipments to that country"
Other reasons were advanced for
the adoption of a national trade
mark, and issue was taken with those
who would make the use of such a
mark compulsory. The mark should
be granted, it was urged, only to
the manufacturers of goods that re-
fleet credit on the industries of the
country.
1t was also pointed out that the
measure providing for a national
trademark was only one of a num-
Der now being put in shape and con-
sldered by the Department of Com
merce with view to preparing the
American manufacturer and exporter
to hold his own in the struggle for
world trade that is expected to fol-
low the making of peace.
