TTDT DIPLOMACY IS
UNDERSTOOD
MIS-
The New York Sun inquires
" How can American diplomacy
he taught if nobody can under
stand it?"
Well, American diplomacy
might be clearly understood if
such partisan papers as the
Sun did not misrepresent it in
rder to bring it into contempt
for the sake of partisan poll
that it now endorses the diplo-
-tics. The Sun is cinsistent in
txiacy of President Wilson ia
severing relating with Germany,
since that is the only culmina
tion of the diplomacy formulat
ed by the administration some
two years' ago. In diplomatic
-ways President Wilson laid
down the law in the Sussex case
nd it is violation of that law
tbat has brought on the pres
ent crisis. t
Meanwhile, the partisan Re
publics n leaders and press of
this country for more than two
years has belittled American di
plomacy while such a stupid
partisan course only created in
Europe that the American di
plomacy did not have the en
" 4lorsement of Americans.' If any!

ministratin's critics can observe
that they were playing with fire
in attacking Amerca's foreign
policies. They are also endors

DEATH OF CIVILIZATION
George Brandes, the Scandi
navian Publicists says that "Civ
ilization will die if the European
war is fought to the biter end."
He thinks that Prussian mili
tarism cannot be crushed with
out destruction to society at
large If this is true civilization
ia doomed for either Prussian
militarism must be crushed or
human liberty will d destroyed.
It is nothing more or less than
the old Roman idea of a world
foundered in conquered nation
which means me make the Ger
man Empire the head and all
other nations vassals.
The German people s a whole
and If a very admirable people hot

' The rulers are responsible for
the world war, the inhuman acts
of the government while the or
dinary citizen is compelled by
training and the heavy hand of
tyranny to obey orders and
agree or pretend to favor what
ever the government commands.
TWO OFFICERS FROM
CEDAR CREEK BRING
IN EIGHT PRISONERS
Officer Johnson and another
Deputy made a scoop last night
in Cedar Creek Township and
marched a squad of eight ne
gro offenders to jail.
This s the largest capture re
corded in this section by two of
ficers. It is reported that the
negroes engaged in a pitched
battle at a negro festival. The
itficer were sumoned and
rounded up the bunch, march
ing; . them about ten miles
through the country to the
county jail where they reposed
however inhumane for the sake
of gain and advantage.
The failure of Germany to
keep her pledges to the United
States need not deceive any one
for it is in keeping with all the
acts of the German government
Under the present grave con
ditions our navy should be
strengthened as fast as possible
and a conference of neutrals be
called and the united action of
all civilized countries should be
made against Prussian military
ism and German madness.
It is said that a celebrated
Roman always began his
speeches with "Carthage must
be destroyed" and every lover
of liberty and humanity should
lend his aid in destroying Ger
man militarism. ffl
There could be no peace for
Rome as long as Carthage exist
ed and there can be no world
peace until German militarism
is destroyed. 1
While the United States may
not necessarily actively engage
in the war, aid and encourage
ment . should be given the na
tions who are fighting, the bat
tles of human liberty.
Either Prussian militarism
must be destroyed or it will de
stroy not only peace but liberty
itself.

New York, Feb.. 1 Hints of
perjury crept into the last few
minutes of the leak investiga
tion this afternoon. Joseph H.
Becker, telegraph operator in
charge of the New York end
of the Washington wire of E. F.
Hutton & Co., called to the stand
at the end of the session, swore
that he had never received the
now famus lost message en
which account forecasted the
President's peace note was phas
ed by Gerge Ellis of Hutton &
Company. F. A. Conolly of the
Washington firm of which Mr.
Boiling, President Wilson's
brther-in-law, is a partner, swore
on Wednesday that he had writ
ten a message based on no oth
er, information other than gos
sip, sent it over Becker's wire
into Hutton & Co.'s office. Con
onlly n the witness stand, iden
tified the Eiiis message as a
identity in every essential .to
the one he declared to have sent.
Becker's declaration that he had
never received the message adds
that on all three days he had
been constantly at the wire from
19 in the morning to 4 in the af
ternoon, geing without lunch.
Cntrasted to this testimony Wil
