PROMINENT KETCHIKAN BUSINESS
MEN HELD ON SERIOUS CHAROE
(Ketchikan Progressive-Miner, Mar.21)
A veritable bombshell exploded in
the community last evening when it
became known that three prominent
business men of the city had been
placed under arrest by the IT. S.
deputy marshal in connection with
the distribution of the seditious pamph
let “Three in One” which went thru
the mail to local citizens last Tuesday.
Shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon, Deputy Marshal Sharpe, hav
ing obtained sufficient evidence against
the men, proceeded to arrest Frank
H. Bold, part owner of the Ketchikan
Electric Laundry, Dean C'. Cannon,
owner of the Cannon Bakery, and Bert
H. Liebe extensive property owner.
All three are American citizens, and
until this time, outwardly exemplary
citizens. Dean C. Cannon is a member
of the Ketchikan Home Guards.
All three were ordered to appear at
the court house at 1 o'clock last
evening ami were later released, under
bond, bail having been placed at $u,0t)0
each. Their preliminary hearing will
be held Saturday.
The “Three in One” was mailed in
the Ketchikan postoflice in two batches
—one batch was mailed at ft a. in.
Tuesday and the second batch at 4 p. in.
the same afternoon. Most of the leut
lets were addressed to women, a few
only being addressed to the men. The
matter lias been reported to the Post
office department at Washington by
Postmaster Warder, who recalled all
the copies he could remember of.
H. A. Dawson, who was arrested
several days ago, charged with sedition
md having seditious literature in his
possession is also said to have had a
linger in the same pie. His trial be
fore Commissioner Mahoney began at 3
o’clock this afternoon, just at the time
of going to press.
Hague, March Pan-Germans who j
“did what they could to make the war!
inevitable” are denounced by the
Frankfurter Zeitung and are warned
that their hour of reckoning is coming,
in an article published in that news- j
paper. The article is a reply to a criti
cism by the Pan-German writer, Herr j
Eigenbrodt, who accused the nows-,
paper of entertaining an anti-militarist j
spirit. Retorting to the critic, the
Frankfurter Zeituug asked “what lias :
happened in this war?” and answered
the question by saying:
“The army which enlisted at the
beginning of the war has failed by a
long way in numbers. Masses of men
have had to be added to it and trained
within a time far shorter than that
which even we contemplated.
“The conception that England de
sired to seek a decision by arms in any
circumstances was the basis of the Pan-1
German policy. They cherished the
idea of the imminence of this world
because they longed for it. In the first
number of the Pan-German News, at
that time the chief organ of Pan-Ger
mans, these words were written, ‘the
hour we have longed for at last has
struck; the holy war.’
“It is impossible to say that the war
was desired abroad but it is not difficult
to see what one is straining every
nerve to bring about. Anybody who
did not go about with his eyes shut
knew that Germany, except for a small
group, did not wish for war, but what
that small group, just these Pan-Ger
mans, could contribute towards making
it inevitable, that they did.
“If we alone with others have any |
reproach to make to ourselves it is that
we did not more carefully watch the
the doings of such people. They were
talkers whom one thought a nui»ance
but did not take as seriously as the

damage which they subsequently did
proves that one ought to have done.
•'The effect of Pan-German outbursts
upon foreign public opinion was not j
considered at the time but they alone!
can account for the flood of hate to
wards Germany which showed itself at
the beginning of the war and which
found the German public comparatively
unprepared. We could not understand j
it and we asked ourselves how it was!
possible. Now we have found out. !
From the writing of Baumgarten and
and other publications wo have seen
that not the good German people bui
the Pan-Germans earned a bad name
for Germans in the World. We are;
not so foolish as to look upon the
enemy as angels. The consciousness j
of the innocence felt in Germany at
the beginning of the war, though
understandable, was not justified, for
now we see that agitation on the part
of Pan-Germans which they carried
even beyond our frontiers created a
false impression upon foreign opinion,
an impression that the German people
and their government were animated
by plans for conquest and deeds of vio
lence, and this opinion was encouraged
by chauvinists in those countries
abroad.
“German people do not yet know the
extent of the damage done to them by
the Pan-Germans, but the hour of j
reckoning for them is coming.”

Amsterdam, April 5.—‘‘The enemy
is holding an enormous force of re
serves south and to the rear of the
front on which has been penetrated
our force with which to attack our1
troops upon the south flank,” declared,
the Vorwaerts yesterday, in this:
British force the German paper sees a
grave menace of serious disaster to the
German army and one which may off
set the gains which have been made
by the Germans.
The Berlin publication expresses dis
satisfaction over the apparent inability
of the German forces to break clear of
the British defenses with the enormous
forces which have been launched in
the drive and forecasts strong protests
being made against the slaughter of
soldiers to no important end.
This is the first sign of doubt which
has been noted in the German press
over the successful outcome of the battle
and indicates that the German people
aro not entirely satisfied with the
move.
