The rights of free speech and free press do not confer the license to adhere to the cause of tlie nation's enemies and give them aid and comfort. 'The adherence to the enemy may be advocacy of the enemy, it may be opposi tion to public measures taken for national defense, it may be clandestine and secret support it is" none the less treason. Jf citizen or alien denounces the United States he is put in jail or interned as an enemy. Yet United States senators, like La Follette and Reed and journalists like Hearst, consider theiliselves immune and publicly do what they can to aid and comfort the enemy and embarrass the government and keep tlie country unprepared. La Follette and Reed are no" better pacifists than Bryan, but much less patriotic. "When war was declared, Bryan volunteered his services to the nation, ceased his peace palaver and has done his might to aid in prepara tion for a vigorous and victorious war, while La Follette and I feed have done their mite to aid and comfort tlie en emy. Hearst, who has always been a jingo and clamored for war thru his newspapers, has done his best to oppose, disorganize and create discontent at home and comfort its enemies abroad. There is no danger of losing any of our democracy. The war will increase it, even tho it necessarily temporarily increases the l owers of the executive. The bogies of con stitutional infringement and dictatorship and loss of free speech and pm s ;u e raised by German sympathizers, as by the I. W. W., to extenuate their own sedition.

Tills pld has enabled them to carrr on the war until the present day and so it has come about that our soldiers heve been really cheated ouof the fruits of their victories." , Germany cannot reap the benefits of her victories, because she is trying to put over a program that might have been acceptable to the world in the dark ages, but is univi'i-sally rejected in the twentieth century. As nation after nation realizes the real aim and pur pose of Germany, the conquering of the world and the en slavement and vassalage of the various nations as they realize that German autocracy is in reality warring against humanity, nation after nation,' in ever increasing numbers, will join the ranks of her enemies, until Ger many faces a world in arms. . Germany is fighting not only the armed forces, but the moral forces of mankind, which will always cheat her out of her victories, for the world will not again be ruled by terrorism. Her medieval creed that military might is right, her r.uthlcssncss and barbarity are repellant and abhorrent to a civilization having its ideals . in justice, equality and liberty. , and Is sent back to bo resuscitated and held for furthe ruse.

Barlow An aerial bomb, invented by Lester P. Barlow, promises to be one of America's deadliest contributions, to tho war. The government is said to have paid Barlow foO.OOO for his Inven tion. 'No other type of bomb can compare with Barlow's new death dcalor, ac cording to Representative Tllson of Connecticut, a member of the mili tary affairs committee. The missile Ib dropped from flying machines. In recent tests it was found to have destroyed everything within a radius of 300 feet. Even half a mile away Its effect was deadly. The various features which standi the bomb as an unusually ingenius contrivance cannot be discussed dur ing war times. Barlow perfected his weapon while he was serving in Villa's army during the days of the Mexican's fame.. He was In command ot the aviation corps. The Inventor also served In the U. S. navy, enlisting as a coal passer and advancing to rank of first-class elec trician. He Is a native of Pennsylvania. MANY NEUTRALS MAKE REPLY TO QUERIES I'OKTI.AXn.

Replies have been received from many neutrals to which the state department sent requests for informa tion regarding requirements and what assurance they were prepared to give that the food would not reach Ger many. The state department's memoran dum said that the United States held as its first duty the supplying of food to the allies and that If this country undertook to supply neutrals, it must mean in many commodities, either a deprivation of the allies, further sac rifice upon the part of the American people or a diversion of labor and pro- ; ductlvity from the necessities of war. Neutral governments were asked to stimulate production of foodstuffs, secure all available supplies from oth er quarters abroad, and criminate wastes and excess consumption. Attention was called to the fact that if there are insufficient supplies for the American people and their al lies alone, the I'nited States could not be expected to part with food supplies other than in such minimum amounts as would make up the deficiency In the food values arising after the most intensive endeavors by neutrals. In determining this minimum it was felt that the pre-war Imports are no long er a cxtterion of the. necessities be cause more intense production and re duced consumption rendered such cal culations Inapplicable.

There are famines who always aim to keep a bottle of Chamberiahi't Colio and Diarrhoea Remedy In the house for use In case it is needed, and find that it is not only a good investment but saves them no end of suffsring.
