INTERN THE WOMEN SPIES
Washington has awakened from
its position of gallantry, and the
House has extended the espionage
act to include women as well as
men. Under the provision of the
act women suspects may be arrest
ed and interned or deported, as the
authorities see fit. This step should
have been taken long ago. A wom
an spy is just as' dangerous as a
man spy. In the European spy sys
tem her scope is regarded as the
greater.
But there is another question,
that of entertainment. The male
Huns now interned are satisfied with
good food, a soft climate and a lit
tle tennis, but the ladies may prove
more exacting. Auction parties,
dansants and other social functions
may have to be provided by Uncle
Sam to brighten their hours.
WILL CAN WIN WAR.
Shortly after the battle of the
Masurian Lakes, von Hindenburg
stated in an interview with an
American newspaper correspondent
that "will" would win the war and
that the nation possessing the most
mental courage would survive to
dictate peace term.
Von Hindenburg's words apply to
the Allies of today. With the pat
riotic fervor of France, is mingled
the bulldog stubbornness of the
British. And both are flavored by
the indomitable courage and Yankee
engenuity of America.
We must win the war. There is
no other way out. We must will to
win it as there no other way out.
Willing to win, we will win!
Will will win the war!
SOLDIERS RESENT PACIFISM.
As Wm. J. Bryan learned at To
ronto, there are some thing that a
man does that cannot be undone,
some things that cannot be blotted
from the memory of others by any
kind of subsequent behavior.
Pacifism is one of those things
pacifism which is blind to righteous
issues and deaf to the cry of human
ity pacifism which, however, is not
dumb, and in Brayn's case was ac
companied by the stultification of
statesmanship.
According to the Shakespeare, "the
evil that men do lives after them,"
while "the good is oft interrred with
their bones." Bryan found himself
a dead one when he essayed the oth
er evening to educate an audience,
part of which had been educated in
the most terrible war in all history
a war that pacifists like Bryan
have made as costly as possible.
Aiier soiaiers nave faced for
months the cannon of their enemies,
they have no patience with the piffl
ing talk dt pacifists.
The Austrian people may have
reached a state of anger over the
shortage of food, but it is very
doubtful if they succeed in getting
their teeth in the Kaiser's personal
supply of pretzels.
The women of New York voted
last week for the first time, and in
the performance of that duty they
seem neither to have dropped a
stitch nor to have fallen a row be
hind in the sweater they were knit
ting. -
The fact that women marks
men shot the target to smithereens
plainly shows that the modern wom
an can do more with her eyes than
merely speak.
-The German occupation of Fin
land is another evidence that as long
as the old Hun hen is permitted to
retain her present nest she will try
to hatch every egg in sight.
Sousa's new inarch will un
doubtedly be a masterpiece, but it is
ouite safe to say that it will not
make the Sammie step any more
livelv than the democracy music
- v -
that Uncle Sam is now playing.
