How can we have improved rail

How can we get up proper

AS THE PAcIFIsTs TALKED

HY HE Imprisonment of Unit
" ed States Consul Tread
well by the Bolsheviki at
Tashkend, in Turkestan, has
an uglier appearance than was
known when we commented
upon the outrage a few days
ago. 1t now appears, accord
ing to a message from Mr..
Treadwell, smuggled through
India in some way, that the Of
fetal has been in captivity
since last October, with no
likelihood of release for some
time to come.
The consul is not ill-treated,
he says, but imprisonment of a
diplomatic officer Of the Unit
ed States is offence enough.
Even Senator Johnson, who at
tacks President Wilson's Rus
sian policy without the possibi-
lily of knowing what it is at
present, might revise his opin-
ion that it would be "a crime
to shed one drop of American
blood" in Russia, if force were
applied to compel the scoun-
drelly Reds to release an
American consul.
That remark of Johnson's,
by the way, has a familiar
sound. It's exact counterpart
was used by various pacifists
lust before our entrance into
the world war. They likewise
said it would be a crime to
shed one drop of American
blood for any European nation.
