GET2 YEARS IN PRISON NEW YOItK. Aug. 20, Mr. S .1 Hernrield and Louis I.

They wero sentenced to two years each In the federal penitentiary at Atlanta, POLITICAL PARTISANSHIP DEAD SOMK newspapers do not seem to realize, that the, polit ical campaign of last year ended with tho re-election of President Wilson last November and that national polities will not lie an is-iiic for three years when entirely new leaders, new issues and new alignments will he devel oped, for the war is changing the relations of mankind. Yet some papers continue harping futilely and ineffec tively upon the dead issues of the past. Since election, the national and international situation has entirely changed national issues being subordinated to international. The nation is at war, a belligerent in the greatest conflict in the World's history forced to fight to defend national rights and honor and preserve democracy Mid civilization. President Wilson was chosen commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States and the' elected chief of tin; nation. It is the duty of every citizen and every newspaper to give him loyal and active support in the conduct of the war. It is not the part of patriotism to seek to create division and discord by revamping peanut partisanship. This war is not a partisan war, but a national war waged to protect America and to safeguard the country. Our troops in France, are fighting for national preserva tion just us much as they would be if the battlefield was on our own whores, and the least wo who are left at home can do is to loyally second their efforts in the field. In modern warfare it is not the army, but the entire nation, that wages war. This war is being conducted in a non-partisan scien tific, maimer. There are no-political generals strutting around like turkey cocks, as in the civil and Spanish American wars. The best, brains of the nation, regardless of politics, have been called in as experts, and are patri otically serving the nation in the council of national de fense. The army and navy are being built up and managed by the non-partisan general staffs. The army abroad is commanded by the republican Pershing. The American mission to Russia was headed by the republican Root. Tal't, as head of the Red Cross, lias been commissioned as major-general. The republican Hoover is food adminis trator. There is as much, perhaps more, republican sup port for the administration in congress than there is dem ocratic. It is not at all improbable that ere long a non partisan cabinet will surround the president. For the time being, the nation has dropped the cloak' of partisanship to don the garb of patriotism and those who refuse to co-operate are giving aid and comfort to the eneinv. BUYING OUT rT"MIK attention of pacifists and those clamoring for a I niade-in-(lerniany peace is called to the following excerpt from a recent speech delivered by .David Lloyd tii'orge on the subject of peace. under proposals emanat ing from (iei'inan agents in Russia, and since vitalized by Pope, .Honed ict: Well, you can have peaco at that price, hut do you know what it would be? The old policy of buying out tho (loth, who eventually destroyed the Itoman Knipiru and threw Kuropo into the ages of barbarous cruelties. Ilelleve me, that policy bad its iiudoublod advantages. 1 can hear the echoes of t hn puclllsts of the day In I ho Itoman Forum dwelling on tho fact that if they could only buy out the Oolhs at. a small price compared with tho war, a little territory and a llltlo cash, tho Itoman youth would be spared tho terrors of war and their parents tho anxieties of war. Peo ple of all ranks and classes would avoid tho hardships of war and ho ahlo to continue their lives of comfort, and luxury nnd ease. The pacifists of the day, when they made their barrain, thought that they avoided blood shed. They had only transmitted it to tho children. Ii'oinc listened to pacifists and made peace. The peace left the status iiio for Rome, until the (ioths bad time to prepare more thoroly Ihru the advantages gained, when they sacked Rome and destroyed the empire. Civilization perished and the chaos of the dark ages followed. The Jot lis were Teutonic barbarians but their lmr barism pales when compared to that of present-day Teu tons' slaughter, devastation and vandalism. They did not make war on the defenseless. They did not systematically destroy a country as the (lermans did in retreating from .Franco. ( 'ivilizal ion is as much in peril today from tho Teutonic barbarian as it was in the days of the (loth. Any pence that loaves the modern barbarian in position to renew his efforts for world enslavement will be as fatal for civiliza tion as it was in the days of ancient Rome. There will be no abiding peace on earth until barbarian autocracy is de st lined. l.oNlxiN.

The terms "East Side" and "Wes Side," as npplied so familiarly for yearn to the former main school buildings, have been oast into the discard. The enst structure is nov known as "Hawthorne" school, pre sumably named after the noted au thor and man of letters. , An attempt was made to foist an aborinal term upon this building, but the nomencla ture wus as difficult in spelling as it was in pronunciation. It miht have served the puriose of designating a roundup, but was found to be a men tal jawbreaker as applied to naming a popular institution of learning, hence the attempt was frowned down. The "West Side" building is known as the Junior Hib School, a term which has proved slow in be hitf adopted, but the desiejiation will become familiar in due season. Let tering on both of these buildings will indicate the proper names thereof. The personnel of the corps of in structors is ns follows, with George A. Briscoe as superintendent: Senior High School.

Plans for the movement oC over a million men tbc lnrjrost troop movement in the history of the coun try are now bcinjr perfected by the American linilway association at the request of the United States povern ment. Altogether, (!S7,000 men will have to be transported to the vari ous cantonments now buililins to house the new national nrniy, and .'l.'iO.OOtl national suanlsnien art. ,.Vcn now being assembled nt their camps. This was the announcement made today by ('. J. McDonald, who, as L'eneral agent of Hie western depart ment heaihpiarters of Hie associ.-i-t tion, is perfecting the details out here. "The movement will start about September 5." said McDonald. "I'.e twoen that date and September 0 the roads will complete the entraimnent of 200,000 men, or about ill! per cent of the total to be moved to the camps. "It is expected that n second movement of nnolher 200.000 will begin on September 10, continuiin.' for four days thereafter; and a third movement of the same size will start on October 2. "An idea of the task in makiii',' out schedules that will guarantee the safe nnd prompt transportation of these armies may be g-lrnned fn,M1 the fact that, to move merely one field army of 80,000 takes (i,2'J0 ears, made up into ;i(iti trains, wilb as many locomotives and crews. And (here lire over twelve times as many men concerned in the plans we are now workine; out. "We have also been asked for transportation to carry the :i."i0,0OH members of the national pnard to their training camps. The national guard movement has already started and will continue in increasing vol ume until all have been moved. "Shippers and receivers of freihl have been appealed to by the ear ser vice commissions, and can grcally help if (hey will co-operale with rc spM. to commercial freight, keeping in mind the herculean task the roads are performing in handling this enor mous traffic.
