thelr raSn acts, aSperSlOnS may lreelg
 and with impunity be cast upon the
 courts, the carriage of justice and the agencies of government itself What ! is meant when the committee signing | the appeal for raising a defense fund declares: They (the indicted l. w. w. leaders, are at least entitled to a 1 fair trial and an open-minded public
 hearing?"
 Do the signers imply that the De pertinent of Justice will prevent "a fair
 trial and an open-minded public hear | ing?"
 Tt is for American liberals" the ap@ peal continues, ito make it financially ! possible for the defense to present full
 ly the industrial evils underlying the
 I. W. w. revolt against intolerable con- ditions of labor"
 Those indicted 1. w. W. leaders are
 charged with specific disloyal if not ! reasonable utterances and of acts | seeking tc impede the conduct of the
 war But, as the appeal for fund conveys. they are to offer defense on the ground that the underlying indus trial evils absolve them of all personal culpability and render them as virgin
 ally innocent and guiltless as newborn babes When MT. Bruere implies that
 the ''uncompromising hostility of the ] Department of Justice 'is ieopardiZing
 the success of our aeroplane program | it seems that he comes dangerously near to what Judge Landis designated
 as an effort to practice sabotage or ] the court and jury" In fact, Mir. | Bruere's words may be read in the | light of a threat To follow his line of
 reasoning, the government must
 change its attitude toward men ac-
 cused of seditious conspiracy 10 one
 cf sweet sympathy and must carry O., its prosecution with a rare and illum- I mating understanding of the intolera-
 ble conditions" which inspire, and pre-
 sumably justify, the commission of
 acts of revolt Otherwise "the sue cessful prosecution of our war on the
 French front" may be jeopardized.
 One is inclined to ask where the dar- ing Of these oddities of intellectualism
 radicalism and pacifism will stop.
 It was 'intellectuals" of the same | kidney who prepared the Russian peo- ple for the advent of Lenine and Trot- | zky and brought Russia to her undo | ing. And the same species have gone far toward undermining Italy and France and in making menacing in roads in England One is inclined to
 ask to what limits they will go in the | United States before the indignation
 of an aroused citizenship, comprehend ing what American Bolshevism means,
 calls a halt.
 Germany Enlisted Aic of Destructive
 Forces From Beginning of World Conflict
 Mir. Harre, in his brochure, alleges that the identical sabotage program Of the l. w. W.-the organization which the "intellectuals" referred to are now defending adopted and has been |. assiduously carried out by agents of the kaiser in the United States. Ac- : ocrding to Mir Harre. the methods and acts of German spies and agents par allel the methods and acts of l. w. W's. both of which have been designed r directly and indirectly to hinder Am [ erica's military preparations and ren-
 der the nation impotent in it's war against Germany
 Even before the European war broke
 out. according to a German official , communication quoted by MT. Hare, , the Imperial Government sought to r learn the methods of sabotage employ r ed by anarchistic labor in this country
 land after the outbreak of the war in . Europe it instructed Capt. vOn Papen
 to enlist the aid of these same destruC b tive forces to destroy intuition plants s and prevent the sailing of ships. Since
 lthe United States entered the war D both the l. w. W. and German agents f have worked along the same lines, us f ing the same methods, to the end of l crippling of America in the war to the f advantage of Germany. Before the I Kerensky government was overthrOwn in Russia the Russian BOlsheviki en I gagged in a conspiracy with the l. W - W. in the United States to precipitat' 9 revolution in both countries, accord D. ing to evidence produced in the tria s of the l. w. w leaders in Chicago anC ,. quoted by Mir Harre. Their avoweC il policy of opposing the war. and com h mission of acts deliberately designer e to thwart the progress of the war, car fl ried to an extreme realization, say! ,- Mir. Harre. would mean a fate analo n gous to that of Russia. In that th' eI II. W. w. and German agents her' D. work Co the same end
