Danger Not over Yet.
When 1 look back on those black
days and ponder by what a mar
row margin his country of ours es-
capped a gigantic turmoil: when I
think how near the kaiser's plot
came 70 accomplishing the destruc-
ton of the United States war-mak-
ing abilities. / shudder at the past
and fear for the future, and ask
myself whether the danger is over
even now. when American bolshe-
vism is lifting its ugly head in a
million places.
In the early days of Americas en-
trance into the world conflict we
had no laws whereby we could
round up these vermin who infest-
ed every walk Of American society.
Finally the espionage act was pass
/ ed by a not too intelligent congress.
At last we had the tools. but we
had not the men. Most OF the men
in the service We're either ineffi-
Client as spy hunters. or if they were
efficient. they were not Jealous
Americans.
My lips Had 60 be scaled.
Such were the handiCaps under
which a few of us had to work day
and night. What about Karl
Muck? Why don't YOU put him
away2 He is one Of the most trust
ed agents OF the kaiser in America.
why don't you put him away" pa
triotic citizens would ask me; and
these men and women knew what
they were talking about.
How could / explain. my lips had
to be sealed,-the nation vas at

than once / put my blind trust in
God and begged Providence to give
us the evidence that would compel
some of our slumbering deluded
chiefs and our United States attor-
neys 10 commit this man and his
Fix to a cement cell. And then, at
last, the day dawned when in addi-
ton TO my aggressiveness, it was
through the patriotic A-mericanism
and splendid perseverance Of two
of my c~o-wOrkers hat we obtained
the unimpeachable evidence by
which we did put Karl Muck in a
cell, after America had been at war
q year and Europe had been in
purgatory for three years. At last
we could rely on the high-pitched
patriotisn Of the rank and file of
the great everyday American peo-
pie. And only then and not until
then. could we send t. southern in
. ternment amps numbers Of these
scoundrels. and thus save America
from the collapse hat was prepared
for her by the knaves and hirelings
of Berlin.
