The Alaska daily empire., 1918-11-02

the sinking or the LuSltanla: "All military experts agree that the war would be ended ere this but for the munitions sold belliger ent nations by the United States"
 June 23, 1915-The Dispatch said Congressman Albert Johnson oi Washington strikes the right key note in a recent address at Raymond He believes in barring from citizen ship all those who leave America to fight in the present war"
 MT. Johnson was speaking partic ularly of those naturalized Americans Canadians, Serbians, British, and others-who were fighting for the Allies, and said
 ''In this time, when the nations of Europe are at war, we of America cannot cherish as fellow citizens those who do not regard American citizenship more highly. I believe I shall find support for a measure that will forever keep out of this country those alien born who, as re. servists, return to their native shore for the purpose of bearing arms"
 The Hun Threat
 June 26, 1915-The Dispatch said ::
 Not many people in the United States stop to consider the full ef- fleets of the declaration of war be- tween America and Germany. The majority understand that neither country could do the other much harm, as far as actual fighting would be concerned, but do not all stop to consider the internal troubles that might result"
 Traffic In Munitions
 August 5, 1915-The Dispatch, re- ferring to the munitions traffic, said : We secured the i'll will of the Ger man and Austrian governments, and previously disappointed the peace loving inhabitants of the world, and make mock of our peace preach ings Our hands are al ready stained with European blood for the sake of selfish profit. In fact, there is less to justify us in this unholy trade that there is for the belligerents in going to war" (In other words the United States is lower in her standards than was the Beast of Berlin" when he made war on Belgium and France, according to Patriotic" Ed Russell's Dispatch )
 August 2, 1915-The Dispatch said. While the United States has every legal right to manufacture arms and sell them to any nation which can buy, the practice is outraging every moral right which it professes in the name of peace"
 Opposes Preparing For War
 When President Wilson began the agitation for preparedness, MT. Rus sell caused the Dispatch to fight the program, notwithstanding the paper had previously plead unpreparedness as one of it's many reasons why we should not resent the murder of our women and children. It accused the President of heinz actuated by de- sire to aid the munition makers.
 September 19, 1915-The Dispatch said: Looming large as a prospec- tive market is the United States for increasing its naval and military forces. Therefore. while supplying the European market, it is good busi ness to throw few big scares' into the people of the United States about being 'unprepared' There will never be any danger Of an invasion from a foreign foe. A large standing army and navy means appropr;ating money for offense, not for defense"
 Oct 8, 1915 - Speaking of the Presidents preparedness plans, the Dispatch said: "'Billions for war, but not one cent for peace and hap piness and the improvement of so- cial conditions in the United States. Tt must be remembered that other nations can build war ships and train fighting men as rap idly as the United States. -" f1iDlOIy tAai N'Nay A@~SeOsA c@ the world that run to military arma- ment has been destroyed"
 Favors MoIIycoddles
 Nov. 15, 1915-On the same sub ject, the Dispatch said: After all is said and done it takes more real nerve and manliness to be a molly coddle' and stand up for fundamental ideals and a larger faith in the fair ness of mankind, than it does to follow the crowd.'"
 Jan. 29. 1S1s-The Dispatch said: "The speech of Senator Works in the Senate on preparedness should be read by every American"
 Yet the Dispatch and MT. Russell has the efrontery to charge one of the most patriotic and loyal citizens of Southeastern Alaska of being pro German. and he makes the attack from the ambush of the Stars and Stripes and a fictitious Alaska De fense Society"
