PASSING OF THE BONE-HEAD.
T N TNI' (lavs heforc the war, tlio Unitod States military
A niai-)iiiiyas pci'linps tlio niost perfect cxamiju1 ol
boiie-lieadediii'ss extant. Ruled ly preeedent, red-tajie
and formula, the self-satisfied stilted stiffs in control re
jected one after another the American inventions -that rev
olutionized warfare and modernized the armies of Europe.
Jt was the most difficult thing in the' world to introduce
innovations. -.
Ail Aniericah invented the submarine1 and our mili
tarists refused to see anv merit in it until France utilized
it, and Ucrinan stole her plans to create the pirate of the
seven seas. An American invented the airship and Amer
ica was the laggard among the great nations in aerial war
fare. American inventors of the repeating rifle, the ma
chine gun, and numerous other equipment were all turned
down bv the American military machine and forced to
market their inventions'abroad. Kvcu the American cati
pillar tractor was left for the Hritish to utilie as a tank.
Happily, however, this condition has passed and prpb-
alily with the democratizing of our armv and navv
passed forever. The inventor now has no difficulty in se
curing n hearing and suggestions are welcomed from all
sources. It is no longer necessary for our Maxims' and
Lewis' to go abroad to be appreciated. And our inventors
are making our military machine the most modern in the
world. ' .
SecretaiT Baker, General Pershing, or whoever is re
sponsible, is displaying a lot of common sense, localizing
the loudness ol: the American negro lor the razor and the
deadliness of the Philippine bolo as a weapon in hand-to-hand
fighting, our. negro troops are armed with a combina
tion razor-bolo, said to be most effective and a source of
terror to the Nr.:). And the boys in the trenches and dug
outs arc supplied witii tliat Tamiiiar western weapon, a
perfected sawed-off riot "pump" shotgun, each spraying
4;)0 slugs a minute, a deadly short-rangt: barrage against
the Boehe advancing in mass formation'.
These are typical S' many homely and practical special
izations being ufilized by the Americans in France and
explain whv the Nun is up against it when he smashes the
American line, and why the Yanks will keep agoing when
once they start lor lJcrlin. thank heaven theotlicial bone
head regiine.no longer handicaps the American fighter.
FINLAND GETTING- HERS.
17 INLAND is experiencing the glorious benefits of Prus
siau rule. Since the Germans -"litered .Finland 73,
000 workmen there have been arrested and many of them
have been executed, declared Hugo Naase, minority social
ist leader, in a speech in the reichstag. according to a ver
batim report published by the Netvolk. The deputy also
criticised German rule in Livonia and Kslhonia where simi
lar scenes are being enacted.
Deputy Naase said: "The list, of those sentenced t(
death in Finland contains the names of a former premier
and fifty socialist members of parliament, some of whom
already have been shot. The town of Svcaborg has been
renamed 'Golgotha.' A boy 15 years of age was sentenced
to death for picking up a manifesto. For a similar offense
a woman named Julia Datt was executed."
In Ksthoiiia and Livonia German has been made the
official language, though no one understands it. Free
speech, free press and political activity have been ruth
lessly suppressed by heavy penalties. Germans are plun
dering the country and leaving the peoples propertlyless
and foodlcss.
Belgium has enjoyed German rule for four year?; and
deportations of those Belgians not. imprisoned or massa
cred, into slavery continues while the systematic looting of
the country progresses. Belgian men, women and even
children of 1 1 years of age instead of being sent to Ger
many to labor as formerly, are now being sent to work
in the regions behind the German front in France and
Belgium, where they are compelled to dig trenches for
their national enemy under the shells of their defenders.
They are herded like cattle in vermin infested, disease
ridden camps and half starved amid the worst of condi
tions. We know what German rule has meant for half a
century in Alsace-Lorraine, for over a century in Poland,
for several centuries in Mohemia, for several decades in
Africa and it is to extent) to these oppressed peoples the
principles of the American declaration of independence as
well as to prevent German rule in the United States that
we are lighting. The world has stood for Prussian fright
fulness and medieval tyrannies as long as it is going
to and proposes to end for once and all the regime of the
Beast of brutalitv.
