JUNGLE LAW.

Contributed by ROBERT HER
RICK to the National Security
Leagues campaign of Patriotism
Through Education.)
Returning from Europe, cursed with
war, I was more convinced than OF
anything else In life that what is be-
ing slowly settled in that grim trench
land over there DOES mean some
thing to us-more, oh, so much more,
than money or legal rights or SYM
pathy for bleeding humanity. Not
that | am especially a~pprahensive of a
raid on these United States, the crum-
bling Of our skyscrapers, with the cx-
action Of colossal indemnities. That,
too, of course, might happen if Ger
man arms were triumphant, If the
pax G%erranica were imposed upon a
beaten world.
But that is not to me the worst. To
me the German peril does not lie so
much in her big guns, her submarines,
her "Prussianized war machine" 1t
lies in herself, in her image of the
world. If Germany could win even 4
partial victory under her monstrous
creed Of applied materialisln, illuminat-
ed as it has been by every sort of Gym
ical crime, with It's reasoned defiance
of contract, its principle Of 'indispensa-
BILE seventies" its military logic, etc.
THAT must become the moral law OF
all the world-the jungle law! In or
der to survive we must ali accept this
law-o of the jungle. And Of all the
PROSTATE peoples of the world forced
TO accept the victor's new version of
the ancient commandments proud
America would be the first. We can
not resist the fascination OF success.
So the German ideal, the German
tyranny over the individual, the Ger
man morality-onc rule for you and
me as individuals and another utterly
irresponsible rule when VIC get togeth-
err as a state-would he initiated by
Us more than the German thorough
ness in civil and military organization.

TRUE CITIZENSHIP

Much as we dislike to admit 1t, there
still exists a, distinct apathy toward
the war on the part of a great many
people in various parts of the country.
The reason for this is even deeper than
constitutional pacifism or pro-Ger-
manfsm. based upon eSplainable blood
or mental association. The fact is,
although We did not realize 1t until
recently, the average citizen of this
country has not had instil!ed in him
real responsibility in and to his gov
eminent. The extreme development OF.
the democratic idea in America and
the ultra-political nature of our form
Of government has resulted in the al
most total disappearance of the appre-
citation by the individual Of what the
government means to him.
The changing Of this condition Is
possibly the most serious problem fac
ing the United States today, outside
of winning the war. 1t involves a COM
plete REIMBURSEMENT and revitalizing or
our methods of civic instruction. This
work must start in the schools of the
lowest grade. Many men who have
had the advantage Of collegiate in
struction in political economy, and
even the influence of the discussion OF
these matters in high school debating
societies, appreciate the problem. 1t
must be remembered, however, that
by far the greater majority OF boys
who later make up the c~itizenry of the
nation leave school after passing
through only the most elementary
grades.
The National Security League, or:
ganized at the start Of the war rs a
preparedness proganda and nov devot-
ing its entire efforts to the awakening
of the people to a realization of the
meanings of the war and the menace
of defeat, has undertaken a nation
wide campaign on this question Of true
citizenship which Is worthy Of atten-
ton and support. 1t has enlisted the
cooperation of state, county n city
superintendents Of schools in all parts
of the country to make daily ins:ruc-
ZION OH lue wal pait VI >'""' N'"'
tuition. The league has also obtained
the release to 1t on full pay by the
Boards of Trustees of a number Of the
largest colleges and universities in the
country of a corps of professors who
are to constitute a National Patriotic
Education Faculty" to carry on this
work in the broader field. These men
will create a sort Of peripatetic uni
verslty, j%ourneying personally into al!
parts of the country to spread this
thought Of the necessity of awakening
the citizenship Of the country to re-
sponsibility in its government. More
power to the National Security League
and may the nation quickly realize the
importance Of its work!

EDITORIAL
NEED FOR FIRING SQUAD.

It must have occurred to a great
many people, in reading the newspaper
accounts of the lenient methods auops'
ed by the government authorities in
dealiag with the spy question. Thai the
plying of this trade by a German or
German sympathizer is far safer than
service in the army of the Kaiser.
The most serious penalty imposed
so far has been against an officer OF
the United States army who volun-
tarily announced that he cou!:! not do
Justice to himself or his men in lead
ing them against his relatives and
friends fighting on the German side.
A man who is convicted of being a
leader in the spy plots against Ameri.
can lives and property is given a
prison sentence less than that usually
meted out to an e~mbczzling clerk.
Other men, engaged in subterranean
efforts which might result in the kill
ing of more American boys than could
be accomplished by an entire German
regiment, are pleasantly interned In
quarters where they are provided with
creature comforts unknown to the
young men who are upholding the
Stars and Stripes in No Mans Land.
The reason for this state of affairs
is hard to appreciate. The country IS
at war and war is snt q civil" matter.
A man who conspites to place a bomb
in an American %troop.shlp or q vessel
carrying much needed supplies TO our
allies Is warning against this country
as much (even more, we believe) as
the private or officer in the German
ranks who is exposed to American
bullets. Why, then, should we treat
these vipers as offenders against the
civil law? Let's order out the firing
squad!
