ROl'SE MIT ’EM.
One of the things ihr.t it st ems the l uited States will
have to do, in order to guar i against fovcign propaganda,
is to put tile ban ci the continuance and existtnee of for
eign speaking societies, foreign fraternal organizations
and publication in other language* than that of the coun
try after the war ceases.
%
A
Heretofore these things were permitted to exist and
were looked upon with favor by nearly every one, but in
the crisis that we are now in it has been demonstrated
that much of the seditious propaganda that has been »
spread over the country eminuted from such sources.
America needs immigration, but it neeos no man who will
work for the interest of a foreign country at ter landing in
ours, except in a charitable or above the board proposition j

the MASTER HAM) SHOWN TO THE WORLD
President Woodrow Wilson, master mind of the
American people, lias-given to Lie Americans, the British,,
ihe French, the Central Powers, and in fact the entire!,
world the greatest peace proposals ever made public.
What a grear man the President really is. Without any
previous announcement lie suddenly appears before Con
gress of the I nitnd States and gives out t.e proposals for
peace which none who read can deny that they are sincere
and thoroughly ■•..I. 1 m f mrteen different items up- j
on which to base peace for the world removes the chief
provocations to the war. I he United States aims arej
shared by all of the Allies hut none of the Allies ever pro- j
posed so concisely a s t of per.ci terms. The President
earefullv weig h' d v t hi peace and hv a glance one can see i
that event nation involved in the war comes in for a share
%r
of the peace of the world. The President has even grant- j
ed sovereignty for the “unspeakable Turk." He lias
shown all of the Central Powers, with the exception of the
Imperial German government, that which will make world
peace. Reading carefully his program for peace—it is
wonderful, a masterful solution. It is American, truly
Democratic. Broadmindedness is seen in every one of the
fourteen different and distinef proposals.
The President inr.de clear at the < utset of his speech
that German statesmen, having again challenged their ad- j
versaries to restate their war aims, the United States!
would make them so clear that all could read and grasp.
He replied with positive candor; responded with simplici-j
ty, frankness and practically ended up with the statement
that “ we must know whether German spokesmen, speak
ing for the German Reichstag majority or for the Mili- j
tarv party” must be clearly shown. . j
The fourteen peace proposals are the most direct ever
made and Germany must reply. That nation’s questions
have been answered. There is only one reply that can be:
made and if that reply is not satisfactory—then war to the
end. The proposals will interest the Central Powers as
they will broaden their own views and make them realize
that a masterful stroke has been made for their independ- j
ency. Imperial domination is forever cast aside and real
Democracy will be established—if the peace proposals are
accepted.
The Socialists of Germany have demanded peace with
no annexations but with just indemnities. President ;;
Wilson has shown them the way. He has made no impos- i
sible terms for a world wide pence seen through any eyes.,
President Wilson is the one man who has put the ace
in peace. And his proposals are also ace high.
President Wilson’s Peace proposals denote that Amer
ica has been given the initiative in the great peace for the
world. Watch and see—the other Allies will say “ditto”
to everyone of the fourteen proposals.
The Germans are losing their pep according to Secre
tary of War Baker in his weekly war review. Heretofore
their supplies have always been first on the scene and
then the men followed. The western offensive worked
backward, men first but supplies were delayed
Provost General Crowder realize* that Alaskans are i
trying their best to serve their country and he has done a'
proper thing in making an order permitting the northern
men to enlist anywhere in hte states. The draft has been
delayed but the Alaskans do not want to be delayed in
serving their country. '

Prosecuting Attorney Fickert, of San Francisco, was
returned to office at the recall election by over a two to
„ne vote. Fickert prosecuted the Preparedness parade
l)omb cases and the I. W. W. and Socialists declared that
they would “get him” They fell down with a frightful
bump which shows how much the people care about
threats.
