Representative McArthur says: It is

lt is true that some of these papers
recoenlse their obligations to the gov
ernment under which they exist and
wiich afford them protection, it is
also true that many or them are
thoroughly dlaloyal and are doing
everything they can to hinder the ad
ministration's conduct of the war. The
publishers of theae paper are stand
ing close to the treason sone, and it
is time to ahow them up. They have
wilfully misrepresented the attitude
of this government since the begin
nlng of the war, and even since our
entrance into the struggle, they have
done much to spread the germs of
treason and discontent. The war can
not be won If theae henchmen of the
kaiser are permitted to pursue their
willful course and nothing will bring
them to quicker account than a thor
ough understanding of their methods
a
Only a small percentage of our peo
ple can read German, so lt behooves
us to require these publishers to, print
their news and editorials In English.
If this ls done, all of us can read what
ls printed and public sentiment will
not long tolerate false news about
the war and misrepresentations aa to
our aims and policies. That portion
of the German language press that
has ahown Itself patriotic ls repre

born population, but the other portion
the traitors and hirelings of the

to account if this bill becomes a law.
These disloyal publishers represent a
small but active minority a most
dangerous group of our population. We
waste time and and effort worrying
about the Russian situation when we
have a greater menace right here at
home. If we are to win this war we
must put our own house in order be
fore we offer gratuitous advice to the
allies. Our forces will eventually I
triumph over Pruesianism, but we must
pursue a policy that will give Prus
slanlsm no quarter In thla country. It
must be wiped out exterminated. It
ls time for patriotic action and de
termination, not cowardice.

If anyone is a sufferer from attacks
of giddinesa or faintness or from pal
pitation and other feelings of discom
fort at the heart, he should not bathe
in cold water without first consulting
a doctor. In fact, every aea or lake
bather should at least have his heart,
arteries and kidneys examined before
entering on a season of cold water
bathing.
Many so-called drownings are in
reality cases of heart failure. Many
weak kidneys suffer from the cold and
exposure of aea or lake bathing and
acute kidney disease may be brought
on by radical exposure In this "way.
Wrong habita of bathing may bring
about lassitude, 'sleepiness, loss of ap
petite, also nausea. Indigestion, colio
and diarrhea. They sometimes result
in bronchitis, earache, nose bleed and
rheumatic pains, also giddiness, paina
in the loins and a sense of choking
and suffocation.
Sea bathing is an excellent measure
for the health when properly employed
by those who bear lt well. Besides the
benefits of the pleaaul-e and exhilira
tion, there are those from the muscular
exercise, struggling with the waves,
which gently massag the body, and
the tonic of the cold water. In the
ocean, there are also the benefits of
the salt, which is mildly stimulating to
the skin surface.

From tbe fubllc
Perhaps the best substitute for a
historical perspective on men and
events of our times ls the perspective
of distance. .Frank Smith is an out
standing figure among British demo
crats. He Is a labor leader, an agi
tator and a politician of the best sort.
In a letter to one of the editors of the
Public, written on July 4 at London,
he says: "You will be glad to know
that every, utterance of Wilson is fol
lowed here both closely and sympa
thetically. His influence is remark
able. Eiveryone feela he la a 'straight'
man, and even when he goaa to war la
no 'Jingo.' I don't think any American
leader, since Lincoln, has ever gripped
the imagination of .Britain as Wilson
haa done. He aeema to have brought
to many timid folk a feeling of se
curity, not only as regards the terrible
business now going on, but when peace
shall be possible. Truly, with the
hour came the man."
