TIME FOR ACTION
News that the salmon run to westward has practically
failed .together with information from other sources that
scores of German machinists are at work in western can
neries, gives room for thought, this being one ot the major
food resources of the country.
Queer things are happening around this country these
days and this may be one evidence ol the hold which the
Teutonic spy system has upon the country.
Strikes in the Colorado mines reported today and the
threatened general strike at Seattle where there are
scores of ships under construction are other instances.
Continue this situation long enough and there is only
one answer—military law.
This is a free republic and unheard of freedom has
been extended to alien enemies within our midst. If they
lack sense to appreciate this freedom, it is not too late for
stockades.

VERDUN
- - - -
The most brilliant page in French history is open to
the eves of the world. It is the battlefield of Verdun. In
this one battle of Verdun, in six months the loss of France
exceeded the losses of the Union armies in our whole civil
war. The battle of Verdun, involving as much fighting as
all oru civil war, had hundreds of Thermopylaes, hundreds
of Gettysburgs, but each infinitely more terrible than the
world had ever seen before. Most battles last one or two
days. This battle has lasted 356 days and is not yet ended.
In certain exposed places death was almost inevitable, but
the French youth, regiment after regiment, went forth to
hold them till death. No surrender, no retreat. It was
their mad bravery and divine courage that held Verdun.
It was the greatest test a nation ever endured, and the
youth of France never faltered there, but has gone on day
after day, week after week, month after month, facing
death, mutilation and torture in their most terrible form.
In other days heroism was a matter of hours, sharp,
thrilling, unexpected. Most men can face death for a brief
space, but the youth who saved France knew beforehand
what was to code, and lived and moved days, weeks and
months, meeting death in its most mysterious and terrible
forms. “He was at Verdun" will be the ultimate badge of
courage for generations to come.
For generations to come the youth of all countries will
visit Verdun and see the land made holy by the blood and
anguish of hundreds of thousands of young men, who re
vealed qualities and endurance surpassing all possible an
ticipation; who showed as never before wrhat France is,
in courage, self-denial, nobility and infinite endurance.
As regiment after regiment marched up the single
road that was available, I was told that no one smiled, but
no one hesitated. All the men, munitions and provisions
went up this single road, all the wounded were brought
back by this road. It is called the Via Sacra.
Will Irwin said, “I was photographing a regiment as
it marched to Verdun and a French youth called out, ‘You
