Enemy Propagandists
. Have Hard Row to Hoe
Washington, Mav 22. Enemy prop
agandists in the United States ' today
found themselves in a'close-mesheu net;
due to tlio signing by President Wilson
of the 'sedition bill". This nvasure is
the most drastic ever enacted to catch
and punish the enemy agents.
It imposes a prison sentence of twen
ty years, a fine of $10,000 or both on
anv person who:
Writes, prints or utters anything
tending to oastruct a liberty loan cam
paign, recruiting for tho army or navy,
or anything villifying the government
or officials, or tending to incite resist
ance to them or who by word or deed
favors the cause of Germany or hor al
lies. It tak.96 away mail privileges from
persons convicted of violating them. If
a man violates the act, no mail addres
sed to him, and none sent out by him
will be delivered.
It is one of a trio of laws President
Wilson asked congress to enact to
strengthen the government m dealing
with internal enemies.
The others are bills penalizing sabot
age aud destruction of war materials
and that including women under the
terms of the enemy alien law.
All nro now in effect.
The department of justice today an
nounced that registration of women un
der the last namod law will begin Mon
day June 17, and continue until June
26.
Moderate Market
InWall Street
New York, May 22. The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said: v
In a moderately firm market, with
the volume of trading slightly larger
than Tuesday's price movements in
the New York stock exchange revealed
no distinct tendency.
The market's tendency would no
doubt be upward, were it not held in
check by the threatened Gfrmnn
drive and the uncertainty regarding
revenuo bpslation.
Stocks opened higher and during the
first hour active stocks made advance!
of a fraction to 1 7-8 points with the
exception of marine, issues, which were
heavy. During tho second hour speci
alties came to the front. United States
Steel made its best price of the day,
U0',ifc no 1718 io. this period., and
other steel gave an appear nee of
strength, Sloss-8heffield gaming 3 5-8.
A reactionary movement, however,
came in the third hour, when the active
stocks sold off from one half to two
points, as compared with the duy't
high.
On professional selling United States
Meel lost nearly 2 points from the
day's high to a level approximating
Tuesday's final. The rails also .lost
their gsins. The specialties, however,
retained a large part of their early
advances.

Think Germany Will
Confer Over Prisoners
Washington, May 22. The state de

Now, it chanced that Argentina
Creaks, his telephone switchboard oper

Hut they couldn't very well marry till
Narrows got a raise, and John Wam
pum had deaf ear for all requests for
moro salary. .
"I know, Susfiolil" said Argentina
oxeitedly "IIo's expecting news from

"Certainly, with pleasure. Narrows!"
cried Wampum heartily. "I'll see to it

SLOGANS RECALL CHAMBERLAIN
Editor Journal: I was just roading
the slogans of the different candidates
in thfl past primary and my mind ran
inck to the pre-election speech made
by George E. Chamberlain at tho ar
mory, es to how he tended Wilson
aud told us that he should stay by the
iiresidont, and how, after election, he
eft bis seat in the sen a to and went t
New York and denounced our whole
war propaganda and said that the
United States bad fallen down end
done nothing, and he made a gpeeeh
that was beneficial to the kaiser and
was used to encourage our eiwmy sol-
cticr and now, while t raeico and ng
land are amazed at the enormous and
wonderful strSdles that Amorica is mk-,
iug in war progress, this same senator
introduces a resolution for a committee
to prolie everything and thus retard
'.he work of the drftereat departments
by drawing their minds eway from
their regular duHee. This is not the
flme to stir up strifo at home and furs
ish capital for tho enemy. Of course
there were mistakes in both the legis
lative and executive departments and
the body of which he Is a member if
not exception, and George 1 mistake
was among tho greatest. This war must
be won and it cannot be done by ham
pering Us progress new with bicker
ings over the past. He told the senate
that he had plenty of pastime while
in the hospital, ae he had ISO letters
to read. Well, I will bet my old hat
that, they were not all to his liking
bufl they wore no doubt intorestiof
reading. The most fault has been found!
with aircraft progrew, and s Wilson,
has appoiuted Hughes, the greatest re-'
publican In the United States, to in
vestigate this branch tnan this should
settle it.
