Department of Justice Notes
Growing Spread Of 0ppo-
sition to War Aims.
AWAITS ACT OF CONGRESS

Disloyalty fostered by certain religious
sects has been growing in the United
States within recent months, according
to Department of Justice officials who
have charge of enforcing the espionage
acts Many preachers and religious
teachers in public speech and printed
pamphlets, officials assert, are urging the
doctrine that war against Germany con-
stitutes murder of fellow Christians. and
is the great human folly described In
the book of Revelations.
The Department of Justice regards the
preaching of opposition to the aims or
this particular war as of seditious ma
ture, and has acted accordingly. it was
made plain today. Several German and
Austrian preachers and Sunday school
teachers have been interned for disloyal
utterances. and many others. particular
ly in extreme northwestern states. have
been warned to desist from criticising
the United States motive in the war
Several publications have been sup
pressed and others are being investi-
gated

Curb on "Intellectuals.

The department also is preparing to
fight recrudescence of pacific agita-
ton by so-called intellectual"
classes. Heretofore this tendency has
been combated largely by ignoring
utterances in opposition to war in gen.
era) and letting public opinion exer-
else it's corrective influence. For sew
eral months the pacifists movement
had been inactive, but officials say that
recently several organizations Of uni
versity men have been formed to
spread the doctrine of opposition to all
war. Information concerning these or
CARNATIONS is being gathered by gov
eminent agents for use in case officials
believe their activities pass the bounds
of legitimate criticism.
Recent court decisions have demon
strated the difficulty of convicting per-
sons of treason under federal laws
either for disloyal utterances, spoken
or printed, or for physically obstruct-
ing war preparation.
AS result of the decision of Federal
District Judge Dickinson at Philadel-
phia this week that the Philadelphia
Tageblatt's criticism of. the United
States did not constitute treason, De-

doned hope of classifying seditfous

first class.
Has Will Power of Chieftain.
Tall, thin, elegant-with a fine head
and features-Gen. Foch is simple of
bearing, but authoritative. From his
gray eyes shine the intelligence and
will power Of a real chief. In converse
ton he shows his military training by
directing the course of his talk like a
manuever.
When in May of last year Gen. Joffre
was succeeded in the command of the
French armies operating on the French
front by Gen. Henri Philippe Petain
and Gen Nivelle was placed in command
Of a group of armies. Gen. Foch sue
ceeded Petain as chief of the general
staff of the ministry of war, post he
has held up to the present, all the while
working diligently upon the strategic
moves. in which the French have been
SO successful.
In addition he has taken part in con-
ferences between the military leaders
of the entente powers and also with
Gen Pershing. the American command
er -in-chief. On the formation of the in
terallied military committee he was APP
pointed a member of that body, and
later attended the meetings Of the su-
preme war council in Versailles.
For some time it has been limited that
Gen. Foch might be appointed head OF
all the allied forces, owing to his known
ability as a tactician and his skill as
leader of men. All along he has beer
impressed with the idea that Ger
man victory was impossible and fire.
quently has expressed the opinion thai
the enemy forces would never be able
j to pierce the allied line.

Wait on Pending Bill.

A pending bill would make it a fed
eral offense to commit sabotage against
any sort of industrial preparation for
the war. and would make it unneces-
sary for federal officers to prosecute
violators under state laws. Officials
say they have been greatly hampered
by the lack of this law, and are now
urging Congress to expedite its pas
sage.
Another bill which the Department of
Justice is anxious to have passed is that

aliens. It Is said a number of German
or Austrian women in the United States
are considered dangerous characters
and will be interned as soon as the bill
is enacted.

The appointment of Gen. Foch, French
chief of staff, to supreme command of
the allied and American forces in
France, is regarded here today as the
important development in the situation
on the western front.
The elevation of Gen. Foch, made
known in official information reaching
Washington last night, means the CO.
ordination of all the armies opposing
the German onslaught. This Is a step
long urged by American and French
military men and apparently was
brought about by the realization of the
immediate necessity of driving back
the Germans.
Although 1t was learned that Presi-
dent Wilson had been officially advised
of the appointment when he sent a
message to Gen. Foch yesterday con-
graduating him ION his new author
ity," there was no explanation at the
White House Of what the President
meant.
Before Gen. Pershing's message came
last night Gen. March was without adj
vices to confirm the press dispatches,
because of the inevitable delays in
Mr.. Bakers Visit Significant.
The news of the appointment of Gen.
fOCn, one CI Tie HciocS VI t1iC Nld1 HCs
to supreme command, gave rise instant
ly to suggestions that the presence of
Secretary Baker in Europe was con-
nected with the development. Mr.. Baker
first visited France and conferred at
length with French officials and with
Gen. Bliss. American chief of staff. at
tached to the supreme war council. and
Gen. Pershing. There followed brief
trip to London just as the great Ger
man drive was starting, after which
the American War Secretary fastened
back to France.
Many observers now surmise that MI
Baker went to Europe particularly to

Wisconsin Man Did II In Thirty Years
Work and Claims
Record.

Clinton, visa record In wood
chopping is claimed by L. ]. Haugen,
fifty years old, who lives near this
place. Up to the opening Of the pres
emit numbering season he chopped 6,207
cords.
He is Norwegian. During the sum-
mer he works for farmers about the
county, but as soon as the first signs
Of winter are apparent he shoulders
his az and starts for the timber land.
BE figures his chopping career from
the time he was twenty. since which
he has averaged two cords a day dur
ing the chopping season.
The following statistics inevitably
follow: II 6.207 cords were placed end

Of another they would be more than
four miles high. At present prices that

SYMPATHY NOT CALLED FOR
Further Proof That the Man Who
Keeps Pegging Away Will Gen.
orally Come Out on Top.

Once there was cobbler who was
deaf and mute. But in spite of his
misfortune he got along, for he was a
good workman, and his shop was
equipped with modern machinery.
One day there passed that way a
disciple of the universal brotherhood
OF man, who had a soft spot in his
heart for unfortunate fellows.
1t was a wet day, and he stopped
In to get his shoes half-soled. The fell
low charged him 10 cents more for the
job than he had been accustomed to
paying, so he h0wled, but when he dis
covered that the shoemaker could nei-
Their hear him nor make reply his
wrath subsidized, and he went away
with sympathy in his heart.
For many weeks he went about. tell
Ing every one he met to patronize the
deaf and mute cobbler because he had
get-up enough to hustle for a living
even though he was child of misfor-
tune. Eventually the unfortunate fell
lows business increased threefold. de-
spite the fact that he charged high
prices.
Finally the great humanitarian left
a pair of shoes to be fixed. He said
that he'd call for them about five, but
something delayed him and he got
there about a minute after six. There
was a big touring car standing in
front Of the place.
The deaf and mute cobbler was just
leaving the shop as the brotherhood
man approached, and he wouldn't un-
LOCK the door. With one hand he point
ed to the town clock in the steeple

"Pinched" Her Own Flowers.

To a hospital for wounded soldiers
the queen Of England recently sent an
exceptionally beautiful bouquet that
had been presented to her. The in
mates received the gift with much
pleasure, says an English periodical,
and to show their appreciation Of her
majesty's kindness and to prove that
the flowers had arrived safely they
commissioned one of their number to
stand at the hospital gate the follow
ing morning when the. queen passed.
The result was a tremendous surprise.
Queen Mary, seated In her, car, saw the
soldier standing at the gate, bouquet
In hand, and, assuming that he wished
to present 1t to her, she had the car
stopped. AS the soldier exhibited the
bouquet the queen took it in her hand,
remarked upon its beauty, calmly ap-
prOpriated 1t and gave word for the
car to 60 on. The soldier stared In
amazement. Then, recovering his
speech, he said: swell. she's pinched
