Webbing was first arrested in Feb
ruary on a federal warrant issued by
the department of justice, charging

from Washington as to his future
status. He will now be interned un-
til the close of the war
Webbing has been a resident of
Sioux Falls for a number of years.
Fol some time he had worked as g
cigar maker in this city. and after
his first arrest was expelled from a

An Ancient
HohenzoHern Joke
By Edgar Stanton Maclay

FREDERICK THE GREAT has not
~ gone down in history as a joker
-1- But at the time of the Ameri-
can Revolution he pcrpctratcd n "ittle
laugh" Mt The expense of the strug
Cling coonists which is of the cher
ishcd memories of the Hohenzolern dy-
nasty. In the first stages Of the Fred
crick's policy was to pursue "middle
course taking sides neither for nor against
the Americans; but when he learned of
Burgoyne's surrender he assured Benjamin
Franklin that he would recognize their in
dependence when France, which is more
directly interested in the event of this
contest, shall have given the example"
Also he instructed his Minister of State,
Baron Schulcnburg. to permit American
agents in Berlin to purchase arms for Con-
tinental troops-stating that "tho firm of
Splittgerbcr & Co., contractors for the
manufacture Of arms, have received dircc-
nons TO deliver such as you may demand"
Acting under this authority, Arthur Lee,
Comm ssioncr to Prussia, purchased
500 fusils, but when delivered it was found
that they were old, worn-out weapons,
which were utterly worthless. Lee ndig-
nantly demanded that the Splttgerber firm
be compelled to rcctify the fraud, but WAS
informed that he, "as a good republican,
ought to know that the Prussan King had
no power to arbitrarily right private
breaches Of contract"
There is a sentiment growing among the
members of Congress that when the final
settlement is made with Germany in this
war bill for $4,000, plus compound in
tcrest at per cent for 139 years, should
be included. Eight thousand dollars at
per cent compound interest for 139 years
would not amount to an enormous total
but think of all the fun the IIohcnzolern
family has had over that little joke dur
ing that period of 139 years! From the
Hohenzollern viewpoint it was q good Joke
on the struggling colonists, and surely Will
helm II. "as good SPORT ought to be will
ing to pay-cven if it does come at the
other end of the joke.

ALWAYS Too Late

ing behindhand 1t has been said of her
that since Napoleon's day she has always
been late at battle. The Hapsburg at
titude toward all the domestic problems
Of a troubled and discordant empire has
always been one Of belated compromise.
Looking at it solely from the angle of
cynical self-interest, AUSTRIA Hungary
waited too long before attacking Serbia
Probably her 'punitive expedition"
against the little Slav state would
have been tolerated by the Concert of the
European Powers if it had been launched
five or six years earlier. For at that
time Great Britain had hardly begun to
cultivate close relations with France and
Russia and Italy had not yet drifted
away in spirit from the Triple Alliance
Russia, too, was then greatly weakened
by her unsuccessful war with Japan and
by the widespread revolutionary agita-
ton following it.
The statesmen in control at Vienna,
hoodwinling the aged Emperor, lighted
the flames Of world confiagration with
audacious levity They did not measure
the consequences which Premier Burian
now belatedly laments and seeks to hold
the other powers, drawn into war by
AUSTRIA -Hungary's wilful folly, equally
responsible for.
Now AUSTRIA Hungary, facing defeat,
pathetically becomes concerned about the
impending ruin of Europe, and asks
her enemies for a peace conference.
Again she is too late There was
time early last winter when a genuine
peace proposal from AUSTRIA Hungary
might have been seriously considered.
Before the treaty of Brest-Litovsk ex-
posed the brutal policy Of Teuton spolia-
ton in the East the Entente powers
might have listened to suggestions of ac-
commodation coming from Vienna, based
on the alleged adherence of the Czernn
Ministry to the principle of no annexa-
tons and no indemnites and "self- deter
minaton' for subject peoples. The EN-
reror Charles sought in the secret Prince
SiXtus correspondence to lay basis for
negotiations which should enable the
Dual Monarchy to escape from the war
practically intact. But his courage failed

when true Amcrcanism will be appraised
at its historic value, Tho Tribune and its
friends viii be proud of their stand in this
crisis
The attitude of the other New York
papers is incomprchensible to the ordinary
mind. Papers that We have all regarded as
bulwarks of loyalty to this country and to
our allies are now ranged sohdly on the
side of the man whom they all know to be
engaged in the subtlest effort to undermine
such loyalty in the minds of the public
There is no mistake about their opinion of
Hearst many of them have openly ex-
pressed it-until now! By what casustry
what plea of expedicncy or self-intcrest,
can they justify their course to themselves
or to their readers? The average man
doesn't know. He would imagine that they
would be more afraid of the ultimate CON
sequences Of such a course than of any
thing else that could happen to them Sure
ly this is time to temporize with sedi-

his judicial mind and his splendid clo-
quence. There no withstandng such

Russia s
Stricken Press
The Ne-O York Tribuas

rOSeiDn FfeSS BureGS
The Russian correspondent OF the
TosSische Zeitua,g, of Berlin, gives several
interesting facts in regard to the Russian
press. Among other things. he points out
that advertisements have almost complete
~ disappeared. The only advertisements
% oe seen in a Russian paper to-day are
anne uncements about lost and found arti-
cles, most Of which are membership cards
Of various societies, passports and identif-
cation cards.
The price of Russian newspapers has
also risen entirely out of proportion with
those Of other countries. For example,
formerly the monthly subscriptios rate of
the Rassboye Slouo was 11s rubles rs
cents) today it is rubles ($4).
As TO the circulation of Russian news
papers, the latter has tremendously de-
creased because of the methods of the
Bolshevik authorities. The only papers
which have not lost in circulation are the
Bolshevik official organs, the Pruvdo
Irvestid and Biddnota, and these are be-
ing distributed free by the Bolshevik au-
thorities The circulation Of the other
papers, whether independent OF or repre-
senting anti-Bolshevik parties, has been
reduced almost TO zero by the Boshevik
Commissariat of Provisions, which con-
trols the distribution of paper and pre-
vents the supply Of paper TO the non-Bol-
shevik press.
The Bosheviki do not limit their control
of the press to the reduction Of the supply
of paper. They never hesitate TO suppress
permanently or temporarily any newspaper
that expresses opinions not in accord with
those Of the official organs. With the ex-
ception of the Bolshevik organs there is
hardly paper in Russia that has not been
suppressed by Lenine's government Many
Of these papers have not reappeared again,
but some of the most important ones have
reappeared under new names, and are now
more cautious in their utterances.
When one looks at list of newspapers
published at present in Russia it is very
seldom that one comes across any old Rus
sian newspapers; almost all Of the names
are new The Russkoye Slouo, before the
advent of the Bolshevihi with circulation
OF 100000, has now circulation Of less
than 10000, and is called Ndshe Slouo
("our Word'D. The Nouoyc Vremya, for
merly the leading paper Of Russia is now
published in the Don region, which is occu-
pied by the Cossacks The Dyen, the organ
Of the right wing of the Socialists. changed
its name to Night, and then, after it was
suppressed, again changed lis name TO
Midnight, then to Blackness Of Night, and
then was completely suspended.
Early this year several new bourgeois
papers were established, but Bolshevik
decree Of last July has forbidden the start
ing of any more papers of this sort

Film Libraries

The educational value of motion pict-
ures has long been recognized, as we'll as
their peculiar fitness for social welfare
propaganda. Calling attention to the
need for making films of this character
more accessible, Miss Ina Clement. in
a report to the Municipal Reference
Library Of the City of New York, sug-
gests the need of a film library She
says:
There is more need for public library
of films than there ever was for a public
library of books, and for the following
reasons: The book is an individual prop
erty; 1t can be read in soltude the in
dlvldual can purchase it if he wants it,
But the motion picture is essentially
collective commodity. The individual can
have a desired motion picture only on
condition that a large number of other
people want the same picture at the same
time This fact makes it peculiarly out
of question TO leave motion pictures to
the exploitation Of unlimited commercial
ISM The public film library dealing with
sufficiently large number of schools.
churches and other agencies, would be
able to draw on the worlds supply for
Whatever film it wanted and to ransack
the film output of the last ten years. Such
library codld secure copies of interest
ing sections Of films and keep them to
rent or lend to public officials or oreani-
zations
Miss Clement has prepared a list of
civic pictures classified under the follow
ing headings: Americanization. child
welfare, commerce, crime and criminals
education, fire protection and prevention.
gardening, health problems, milk supDlv
municipal government, police, public util-
tiles, public works, recreation. roads and
pavem.nts, safety, sanitation, social SER
vice, tuberculosis and miscellaneous
Governments are using films to record
war scenes. The State Historical Depart
ment of Iowa has gathered films for his
torlcal purposes. If, as it seems, there is
a demand for a public film library. it is
probable that the need will be met bv the
cooperation of the various agencies in
terested in developing the motion picture
along wise and useful lines. Properly
managed, public film library could be
made power for the public good
