OUR AMERICAN BOLO.
T.1TK copperhead proclivities and traitorous activities
of Hearst and the Hearst newspapers and maga
zines art! set forth in a pamphlet entitled "Coiled in the
Flag Hears-s-s-s-t" by Kenneth Macdowau, reprinted
from the New York Trihnne. The author lias done a pat
riotic service by exposing the American Bolo, with his de
featist program and his pro-(iormaii propaganda of sedu
lously cultivated fact, fiction and prejudice to undermine
American morale and create frict ion with America's allies.
Since the United .Suites entered tho war, the Hearst
papei's printed during the first year of conflict, 74 at
tacks on our allies, 17 instances, of defense or praise of
Germans, o'.'J pieces of anti-war propaganda and 1 deletion
of a presidential proclamation totallimig 153 seditious
and disloyal acts. Mr. MacGowan lias collected these arti
cles and reprinted them-together with official government
statements proving their perversion of the truth. The
pamphlet is illustrated with reproductions of seditious
cartoons from the Hearst press.
Before the war the Hearst papers were actively pro
German and ant i-allies. They were strongly anti-war, ex
cept against England,-Japan and Mexico. They defended
the Belgian atrocities and vandalism of the Huns, they
supported unrest ricted submarine warfare, they defended
German fright-fulness. They
the Jjusitania and Javored the surrender ot American
rights at sea. They advocated an enibargo-upon munitions,
and were notoriously the mouthpiece of Bernstorff and
the German propaganda in America.
"When war was declared Hearst and the Hearst papers
announced their loyalty and support of the government.
But Hearst lias only thrown as much support as necessary
to keep the government from suppressing his publications
and himself out of prison. Cunningly ho has evaded open
breach of the law while he clandestinely did his bit for the
kaiser. His discretion and indescretion are skillfully prac
ticed to avoid trouble, but
within our gates, an enemy
m the Hag.
Hearst for years glorified
and financed the notorious German-American alliance that
sought to Germanize America, while he attacked France
as decadent, possessed of the
sailed England as the traditional enemy of America and
Japan as t he menace ot the white race, and blamed the war
upon the greed and avarice of the allies. .
- Hcartst. agitated against, loans to the allies, urged the
administration to refuse financial aid to belligerents and
campaigned to prevent individual subscriptions to the
first loan. He first opposed, then supported Liberty loans.
He sought an invasion of Mexico to divert America from
the European war, and appealed to congress not to send
our troops to France but to raise a great army to defend
America. After advocating for years universal military
service, ho opposed the draft and urged a return to the
volunteer system.
Hearst raised the cry of America first and opposed
sending food to the allies, opposed the embargo against
neutrals, and urged that food
Germany, lest retusal incur
gress to take from the president a large part of the con-
duel; ot tilt; war, and supported prohibition, government
ownership and every'sido-show designed to create discord
and discontent in the United
Hearst justified the German peace with Russia, has
constantly declared that this is not America's war, that it
is a Wall street effort in England's interest, that Germany
was invincible, all the while camouflaging by waving the
flag as Bolo waved it in Franco and as it was waved by
the German propagandists to the near destruction of Italy.
The keynote of his campaign is shown in a published letter
of inst met inns to his editor in March, 1918, in which he
says:
"I ennnot got no violently excited as some people over tho posslblo
affects of this present war."
The month belore he said:
"Tho president said 'Fight!' and the congress said 'Fight' and yet to
tell tho truth, tho nation was at no tlmo stirred to onthuslusm."
This followed the following:
- This government bus now been nearly (on months trying to Inter
fere olTocllvoly in tho selllement of Kuropeau iiffalrB."
Hearst s plan of fighting
journals oi Aiay, iuu, is as loiiows:
"Our only correct strategy is to spend all our mon iy and all our labor
In preparing our navy and our armies hero at their .lationnl bnso and so
compelling Uormauy. If she wants to right, to coiim to us and see how
sho likes (he taste of our gruuito." v . u
Hearst has made peace drive after peace drive,
has warned the world Germany could not lie beaten,
has dilated upon the horrors of war constantly, lie
urged a separate peace with Germany, lie has deel
Germany a practical democracy and sought and seeks
constanntly a German peace, leaving Germany in the pos
session of her cherished dream of a "Mittel Kuropa."
If 1 1 oanM. and the Hearst papers cannot lie legal! sup
pressed, patriotic Americans can at least refuse to patron
ize them. Thev should be boycotted. i

T
E

authorities as the mosl Important arr
rest made in southern Oregon, and
one ot tho most Important In tho
state, as a disloyal or osplonago sus
pect, slnco the United States entered

Van Catz was quietly taken to
Portland on a presidential warrant
last Saturday to be arraigned In
United Statos court. It Is understood
that his arraignment wilr, not tako

of being directly connected with the
Gorman secret service.'

a Ilttlo over a week ago and visited
United Staots Commissioner F. Roy
Davis ostensibly about filing on a
tract of railroad grant land. On his

picions. Next Van Catz appeared at
the Commercial club where he soon
aroused the suspicions of Mrs. Satch
well, the acting secretary. She quiet
ly notified Chief of Police lllttson
who after questioning the man
placed him under arrest and notified
the United States authorities.
It Is tinderstood that Van Catz,
who Is about 45 years old, was well
dressed, and of gentcol and vory soft
appearance, with soft hands, claimed
ho was a native of Tho -Netherlands.
Ho asserted that ho was a saw mill
laborer and had worked in a mill at
'Mills City, Ore., under tho name of
Van, and later worked for two weeks
In a mill In Klamath county under

to Medford from Klamath Falls.
