1t is no secret that after the first
detachments were sent across the
water there was a feeling of great
disquiet in their ranks lest they
should not get into the fighting. Re-
ports of this feeling Travelled back to
Washington. The congressman who
made such urgent representations
about the worth of the marines as
fighters may or may not have been
justified in believing that this fine
body of men were not to have
chance, but there is no question about
the prevalence of the talk that they
would be returned to this country
and then used to do police duty among
our unquiet neighbors to the south,
as had happened previously.
The official explanation that this
plan was not contemplated, and that
the delay was only until there could
be enough of them obtained to form

be accepted. Anyhow, everybody is
now satisfied that the marines are to
have as good chance as other units
of our fighting forces, and the big
training camp at Quantico will be
filled with enthusiasm.

M Russian Fate for Us,

We cannot permit anything to interfere with
our most important business-that of whipping the
Huns.
We must do everything which win aid Us in
carrying on that business, even though there be
among them some things unpleasant and painful
We must keep on going ahead in this war
or we are driven backward For no nation at war
can stand still.
We must not only fight the enemy over there,
but we must fight the foe in whatever disguise It
may take here at home We must fight the enemy
of civilization wherever we find him. 1t we do
not fight him here at home sons cannot cope 80
well with him upon the fields of France.
We must fight the pro-German sympathizer who
by word or sign seeks to aid the Huns.
We must fight the .anti-American in our midst
who does not obey whole-heartedly every order
of the governmental agencies directing our home
war efforts.
We must fight against food wastage, labor
wastage and time wastage, for food and man
power are essential to our winning the war;
We must fight against the malicious tongue
which bears false stories of conditions in American
war camps and praises the efficiency" and
Strength" of Hunnish kultur.
We must fight against the willy politicians who
would weaken our war efforts by attacking the
war administration for political purposes.
Yes, there is plenty of fight for US to engage
even though we never go " Training SahsoH-
ment or cross the Atlantic.
And not the least of enemes-and Ger
many's friends-right here in America are the
profteers who coin out of the peoples life blood
profits baser than any the highwayman or the
pirate took.
The pro6teer cares for nothing but dollars. He
knows no flag and principle. He recognizes no
God other than gold Human liberty and human
justice are to him of lesser Importance than linn
cuisines and champagne.
Profteering in Russia did more than all Of
Germanys plotting propagandists to take Russia
out of the war; 1t sickened the hearts of the
Russian people 1t sent them unarmed into the
trenches and starved their babies back home.
1t took the fight out of them
But profteering shall not do that for the peo-
pie of Washington. We shall not let it grow to
such proportions For we have before US Russia's
fate and we will not allow the meat trust czars,
the barons of big business, to sacrifice our liberty
and our national honor to fill their filthy purses.
Before American profteers put US out of the
war; we will put them out of business Only by
doing that can the United States put forth her
strongest effort
Congress can scotch the snake of prohteering at
