FALSEHOOD AS A PRINCIPLE.
Semi-official announcement comes that German alien
women as well as men will he required to register in March
If there should follow instances of harshness or even ap
parent cruelty, in dealing with German-Americans who
are in position to do injury to this country, but who have
no intention whatever of doing so, it must be blamed oiv
the character of the German propaganda against good
citizenship all over the world. It seems to have been the
purpose of the kaiser to make humanity bad except in per
forming duty to him. and it is horrible to think how this
makes us suspicious of so many Germans residing in
America. But suspicion seems necessary.
Germany has taught many German-born citizens of
this countrv that treason to America in aid of Germany is
commendable. Wherever the poison has been spread by
the German philosophy of treason it will work harm in
America as well as in Germany, for it is impossible that
falsehood should be taught as principle without having a
very evil effect. One immediate result has l>een to com
pel every loyal American of German birth or lineage
(there are many thousands of them) to demonstrate ac
tively rather than passively, his willingness to perform
his duty toward the government under whose protection
he is living.
Today, February 1st, marks the second year of the
ruthless submarine warfare and as the press dispatches
stated yesterday, Germany has not accomplished the ob
ject of ending the war. There will be many years rolling
around before the sub warfare accomplishes the Hun pur
poses.
There must be a fire somewhere owing to the pres
ence of smoke. There must be a general uprising in Ger
many of some order or there would not be so many dis
turbances. News being delayed for forty-eight hours in
dicates that Berlin is trying to suppress something.

LONDON Bim HKUS FIGHT
EACH OTHER FOR
SUPPLIES OF BEK1
LONDON, Feb. 1. — Unless the
situation improves, the consumption
•»f beef in England must be curtailed
at least one-half, according to an of
ficial statement.
The Daily Mail says meat will be.
the first food dealt with under Lord
Rhonda’s compulsory rationing plan.
Butter ar<l margarine will follow, and
othei foods will be added as they be
come moi*e scarce. All the chief food
stuffs, it adds, will he rationed by
April.
Throughout London today lines of
persons desirious to buy eageriy com
peted for the limited supply of meat,
which the retailers were able to pro
cure. Many shops did not open, as
they had no meat to offer. Others
had laid in stocks of rabbits, which
found a ready sale at 7a cents to a
dollar each.
Extraordinary scenes were witn< ss
ed at the Smithlield market early this
morning, Hundreds of butchers drove
up in carts and motors and compete*',
for the limited supply of beef and
mutton.
There wore free for all fights in
many places and the wholesalers had
to suspend business owing to the press
for supplies, which were 40 per cent,
less than the demand.
WOMAN WHO CALLED PRINCE
A GERMAN SPY ACQUITTED
PARIS, Feb. 1. — Mrs. Julia Wa
terman of New York, described as a
newspaper woman, was acquitted at
Yevey, Switzerland, in an action for
libel brought against her by Prince
von Wrede, chamberlain to the King
of Bavaria. William Park, also a New
York journalist, was sentenced by de
fault to fifteen days’ imprisonment on
the same charge.
Both of the persons sued were al
leged to have stated publicly that
Prince von Wrede has been acting as
a spy for Germany while in Switzer
land. The conviction of Park, while I
Mrs. Waterman was acquitted, is at
tributed to the fact that the news
paper man was out of the country and i
not represented m court.
