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.

MT. HERMON HOLY GROUND
Many Nations Have Built Their Ten

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.

to recommend photographers to keep
