JUDGE lands FAVORS
EXECUTION OF RADICALS

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Feb. A.
Execution rather than deportation of
''treason agitstors' was advocated by
Judge X. NJ. Lands, of Chicago. who
branded the Socialists, l. w. w. and
kindred organizations as traitors TO
the country" in an address before the
American Protective League here
Sunday night
Judge Lands reviewed the plat
forms and activities of red organiza-
tions. and urged "war to clean up the
whole bunch of them"
what we need is a new definition
Of treason" Judge Lands said. Then
we can use the side of a barn for

ment. We must destroy the would-be

as her husband to agree TO the pro-
posal made"
other persons here, however, are
more charitable. Mrs. SpikePs con
sideration for the "other woman" Is
warmly commended by many prom
inent English women. They insist
that the case Is new to nction. where
II is always the husband and not the
unhappy victim which the wife for
gives.
Some see in Mrs. spiker's forgive
asserting itself"
Guy spiker's proposal of marriage
10 described as noble"
Altogether the case is the strangest
that England, even with Its thousands
of war babies, has ever had to con-
slider.
The tremendous publicity which the
press has given dispatches giving de-
tails OF Miss Knowles arrival In New
York and the extraordinary attitude
of Mrs. Spiker has interested every
one here in the fate OF the little Eng
lish girl. The feeling in her case Is
running high among both those who
express only the greatest Indignation
over the conduct of the American
aviator and those who profess the
strongest admiration for the stand
taken by Spiker's wife and brother.
Many English women are indignant
at the dictum of the Chicago clergy
man, who said the girl ought to be
sent back to England TO drink the
bitter cup of her folly" The majority
express a wish that the present case
may end happily. although they are not
willing to accept II as q generaliza-
tion on the entire scope OF relations
between wives and wayward hus-
bands.
