WITHOUT .lcsiiv tu sliino as a prophet, tin; Mail Trib
une will venture! the predict ion that the "small
hand of sincere pacifists who, iu the midst of war, place
their devotion to pence ahove all else," will wear the same
kind of halos with posterity that adorn their predecessors,
the 'Tories of the revolutionary war and the copperheads
of the civil war.
'Those sohhers and slobhers of sickly sentimentality,
who fondly imagine that hy doing their mite to impede the
progress of their country in its struggle for existence find
rendering aid and comfort to the enemy, that they are "in
advance of the times," and martyrs suffering in a world
unprepared for their ideal," might as well wake up to the
truth, that they will live as the unpatriotic always live in
history forgotten as individuals and rescued from obliv
ion only as a class shunned.
The sissy pacifist is not the creator of a new ideal or
even of a new idea. His counterpart hits existed since the
dawn of recorded history. There have always heen the
anaemic few who preached the abject surrender of all that
was worth while rather than fight. There have always
been advocates of compromise who purchased security by
capitulation. The temporizers and pnjerastinators have
been with us always and always will be, as well as trait
ors but they are not among the beacon lights of history.
Pacifists who dream of ranking iu song and story with
the prophets of regeneration have another guess coming,
hi the broad view of history they will be regarded merely
as part and parcel of the German propaganda whose
efforts were utilized to aid autocracy in its final struggle
against democracy conscious tools or unconscious dupes
of an expiring feudalism in its death grapple with mod
ernism. A La Kollrtle expelled from the senate for sedition and
disloyalty might get consolation by picturing himself a
Christ crucified in a holy cause but no one else would
suffer the hallucination. Pacifists in prison for treason
doubtless comfort themselves with similar delusions con
cerning their own martyrdom by an uncouth and unciv
ilized world, but in the perspective of history they will
occupy the insignificant space allotted to abortive plotters
and seditious cranks.

WASHINGTON', Oct. 1. Kaiser
Wllholm himself has contributed
Uncle Sams' greatest aid In trans
porting armies to France.
Thanks to the kaiser's orders to
the German shipping companies,
Uncle Sam has today one ship which
can transport half a division, or over
10,000 men, with all their equipment
The ship was designed primarily for
that purpose. Tho Klant Vaterland,
outwardly a floating passenger pal
ace, when stripped of her ornaments.
Is the world's greatest troop trans
port. As if the submarine were foreseen
the Vaterland Is etpilpped to with
stand submarine attack, better than
any Bhip afloat. Gun platforms for
a whole flock of rapid firers were
cunningly built Into her. Her speed
enables her to run away. Thru a
system of watertight compartments
she Is practically tinsinkable. If
struck squarely by two or three tor
pedoes she would remain afloat.
As Uncle Sam's engineers have pro
ceeiled to remodel tho Vaterland since
the American falg was hoisted over
hor, they have been running Into
Kiirpriso after surprise. They have
found their work already done for
the most part.
Tho suitability of the Vaterland for
transport purposes have heightened
the suspicion that she was built es
pecially to carry a little army for a
surprise attack on a distant coast
the United States or Brazil, In all
probability if things had gone as
tho kaiser planned and our turn had
como.
Tho hlghost military experts in
Germany ware consulted In the build
lug of the Vaterland. And now their
pet weapon Is turned against them
selves. The Vaterland can cross the At-
Inntlcs in less than a week. She
could take 20,000 men per month to
Europe. 1
Tho troops sailing; on the Vater
land can drill every day. On her
giant aftcr-deck a whole regiment
can deploy.
No troops have ever sailed the
seas In the solid comfort enjoyed by
tho hoys who go "over there" in
tho Vaterland.
Thank you; Bill!

that I ho land was a part of a series
of claims, whoso mineral value was
well known and tho homostcaded

WASHIN'tiTOX, Oct. 1. Presi
dent Wilson und Postmaster General
Itttrleson now have under considera
tion n iiiuil censorship plan whose
object will bo to eliminate chances of
iiifm-miition being slipped out of this
country to Germany und her allies.
I'ncle Sam is the .only belligerent
in the world who exercises absolute
ly no censorship on mail mutter.
There is n censorship on cables.
The only order on mail up to date
bus been one forbidding the attempt
ed mailing of matter to Germany and
her allies. Aside from that, we have
been relying upon the vigilanco of our
nllies.
This lias worked very well up to a
certain point. But it lias not closed
all the chances for a Jcnk.
The greatt'st censorship bureau in
the world is the British. Not only
havo vast stores of useful informa
tion been obtained by censoring let
ters, but immense numbers of tips to
Germany have thereby been killed.
Practically all mail from this
country to Ihe six neutrals of l-Jit-rope
is censored by the British and
Krencli.
Mail for Asia is censored by the
British anil Japanese.
The British anil French censor all
mail for Africa.
But there nre ships thai ply direct
ly between Havana and Spain and
between South American ports and
Spain. Tlie chances for a leak inlo
Germnnv via Spain are therefore
many. ("
Obviously the job for Uncle Jsatn is
to exercise a Rorutiuy of all mail go
ing to Culm und the South American
continent.
Cuba will readily help us, luiving
come into t lie war because we fume
in. The South American matter will
have to be bandied in a different way
if it is lo be effective. Tt will mean
a real consulship on all mail mutter
for those countries.
The censorship will have lo be ex
ercised here at homo, because we
can't expect neutral countries in
South America to do the job for us.

I Charm to Old Homesteads
- fragrance to Cigars
. "(froth lent fcy time)
Mount Vernon, the home of Wash
ington, owes much of its charm to
the softening, mellowing influence
of Father Time.
The OWL and other mellow Cigars
owe much of their fragrance to the
same mellowing influence of time.
In fact, careful time-curing of
selected tobaccos is the big secret
behind OWL Cigar fragrance.
And to guarantee every OWL a
fragrant OWL requires that a reserve
supply of leaf worth $1,000,000 or
more be constantly curing. For no
leaf must go into the OWL Cigar
until OWL curing experts have pro
nounced it "ready" in OWL mellow
fragrance. And it takes Mother
Nature and Father Time long months
to get OWL leaf to this "ready-point."
Why don't you try an OWL Cigar
and see how well it keeps for you
