AN AMERICAN ESPIONAGE LAW Enactment of tbe espionage act, just become operative, under which atri agent action may be taken against disloyalty or sedition, adds the United States to a long list or nations which have been forced by Gorman propaganda or internal dis affection to Invoke the extreme pow ers of law for their existence. Short shift is made of persons In Great Britain, France, Italy and the other allied countries, who attempt to foment revolution or betray the state to the enemy. Great Britain's colonies under their system of self government have followed the ex ample of their mother country in lighting disloyalty, recognizing that the liberties of the world depend on victory in tbe present war. Amendments to the war precau tions regulations of Australia, re ceived In official dispatches show the far-reaching steps taken by that ' commonwealth against sedition. Tbe Sinn Fein organization is outlawed by name and drastic powers are giv en to the minister of defense to close clubs or places of resort of the 8inn Fein or other disaffected so cieties. The regulations said in part: "Any person who, by word of mouth or In writing, or by any act or deed (a) advocates, incites or en courages disloyalty or hostility to tbe British Empire, or to the cause of the British Empire in the present war; or (b) advocates the dismem berment of the British Empire, or who says, or does, anything calcu lated to Incite, encourage or assist such disloyalty or hostility, shall be guilty of an offense against the art. 'The minister may direct that any premises used as a place of public resort or as a club, the use of which, In his opinion, is prejudicial to the safety or the defense of the com monwealth, shall be kept closed. "Any person -who wears or dis plays any badge, flag, banner, em blem or symbol, of a country with which the king Is now at war, or any body or association who are disaf fected to the British Empire, or of the society, association or move ment' known as Sinn Fein, shall be guilty of an offense against the art. "Any officer of police and any po lice thereto authorized In writing by the minister may, for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this "Samel it Hot - "Some like it CoH ithc wav tetleVsTea Ideal Summer BtviRAet regulations, enter, if need -be by force, and search and occupy any premises In relation to which a di rection, has been given under this regulation." ANOTHER WINTER OF WART The German people ara being warned that tbey must prepare for another winter of war. In announc ing that tbia was probable Conrad Hausaman, a progressive member of the German rekhstag, said In a speech at Stuttgart as reported by the Berlin Tageblatt that It la neces sary to give the warning to prevent public disappointment. Germany he said sa,w through the desire of the Russian uper house to rule the em pire. Never, he added, will salva tion coma from these super-Prus sians. The Prussian upper house was arming to storm against Kuehl mann (foreign minister) and the Im perial government. Kuehlmann had fallen Into the bad graces of the super-men. He was exposed to a concentrated attack of those who consider negotiations during which one pounds the table as the most ' salutary. Silent pro-German appetites are as hostile to the allied cause as are disloyal utterances. Curb self-ln-dulganee and do your bit at every meal. PRESENT DRIVE NOI Washington, June 11. The new: German thriiBt between Montdldler! and Noyon was regarded by officials; here as a local operation on a large scale, with limited objectives design- ed to consolidate tbe Plcardy and i Aisne battle theaters and straighten ! the line for later mass attacks elth-j er toward Paris or the channel. I The same object was sought in the pressure toward Complegne and1 Soissona and from Chateau Thierry, i The Vlllers Cotterets wood blocked the success of the recent movement and the Germans are now trying to take the defenders of the wood In the rear. If they succeed It Is re garded that the line they seek to es tablish would give them a straight front from the region of Montdldier to some point In the vicinity of Cha teau Thierry. Paris, Sunday, June 9. "We cer tainly got a few of them before they got us," said the American marines and Infantrymen wounded In the Bonresches-Veullly fight, who now are In Paris hospitals, where the nurses marvel at the good spirit of the men. "Mother and father told me to gel them and I did," said Theodore I. Waldman of New York City, a mem ber of the marine corps, whose par ents were born in Germany. A large hospital staff Is attending the American wounded. The capa city of some of the hospitals has been Increased many times In order to care for the Americans. E-..ie Hcr.t.

HERMON HOLY GROUND Many Nations Have Built Their Ten pies en the Ilevstlon ef Whtoh David tang. Mount Iternion. sacred mountain of 8yrta. rises, a silent sentinel, above the fruitful fields and vineyards of Lebanon and Damascus. Cut oft from Its range of the Antlllbenn by the deep valley of Barada it has kept Its lonely vigil through the ages. The Hebrews called It Hermit According to legend tbe wicked sngels In their fall from Paradise landed on Ilermoa and gave It Its name. Like a gray-haired giant the old mountain helds Its white-crowned head above the clouds. At sunset these clouds turn to rose and gold, the moun tain top flaming like a torch against the sky. As the sunlight fades the evening mists wrap old Hermon'a head In vails of gray and white. "The white-haired old man of the mountain has donned his nightcap for the night." the people of tbe surrounding plains tell yon. The mountain's foot Is covered with the green of ouks, poplars ami dense brush with an occasional luxiirliint vineyard. The wines of Pnmnscu are fnmous throughout the Orient. The mountnln springs keep the vnlleys well supplied with wntcr. Higher up are the ruins of former temples, hu'.lt centuries ago, their entrances fnelng the rising sun. In the old dnys the pious folks of the vnlley climbed the mountain side to worship on their holy ground. The temples ore of various nations. Including Greek, Itotunn and Hebrew, David sang of Herman and the cooling breath of the winds blowing from its icy summits. As the giver of all good things, of wine and cool wa ter, of timber and olives and breeze In summer dnys, of tales of wonder and angels for the winter nights, the people of old looked to Ilermon as a storehouse of treasure set up by beneficent Deity. WANTED HIS MONEY'S WORTH Nobleman Evidently Had 8ome Idta That Great Musician Was Giving Him the Worst ef It Wlenlawskl had his mnmorous experi ences, this even after he was quite widely known, writes Alexander Bloeh In the New York Times. On one occa sion be was asked by a wealthy Brit ish nobleman to state his terms for playing half an hour at his home. They came to an agreement, and on the evening of the muslcale Wlenlaw skl opened the program with Beethov en's "Romnnze In F." He was playing his best and deeply engrossed In the music when he sud denly noticed out of the corner of his eye the host nervously looking at his watch. This happened several times before the "Romance" was finished. At Its close, as he was bowing his ac knowledgments to rapturous applause, the British peer caught him by the sleeve and whispered In his ear: "For heaven's sake, man, how mnch do you expect to get through In hnlf an hour at this rate? Why do you play such slow plecesT" Ancient "Cathay." Cnthay was an old name of China by which that country was known to Eu ropeans during the middle uges. The British Encyclopedia says: "Cathuy Is divided from Khltal, the name which was properly that of the kingdom es tablished by the Kliltnn conquer ors In the northern provinces of China about A. D. 007 and was sub sequently Hpplled to the whole of China." Khltul Is still tbe Russian uiime for China. LISTEN 10 RETORTS The executive committee of the Grants Pass chapter of the Ameri can Itrd Cross met at a luncheon to day In the Chamber of Commerce rooms to hear reports, which were very encouraging. .

To guard against this It la usual to recommend photographers to keep such solutions In several small bottles rather than la one big one, so that wfcea once 1 bottle has been opened Its contents are soon used up.
