There was an illuminating incident, or rather series of incidents, in New York city on Thursday, in which the disorderly anarchistic element was vigorously attacked by a large hody of soldiers, sailors and marines. The a- tack took on such vehemence that the services of the city police had to be invoked. The wearers of Uncle Sam's uniform were compelled to desist from their parade in formation through the city streets, and were told, in effect, that it is the business of the police to { keep order. The position taken by the department is logical, and from the legal point of view the restraint to which the service men were subjected cannot be criticized. Nevertheless, the spirit shown by these recent fighters against Germany is not displeasing to loval Americans. Ivery honest American satisfaction in the open hostilit the soldiers and sailors to the red flag, and all that it represents. Thus far there has been nothing to indicate | that the men of the army and navy have the slightest sympathy with the socialists and the bolsheviki: they are as ready to fight the foes of the coun- try at home as they Were in Belgium or France. They can be depended upon to defend American institutions wherever they are. If the socialis and anarchists have any wisdom they | will not invite the wrath of these men who have lately had such a splendid military training, and are prepared to | put it to use. Their demonstration in | New York against the Bolshevist agi- tators, it may be added, should help to arouse federal and local offi- cials to a full realization of the fact that there is danger in further tolera- tion of the red flag and the criminals 7 who march behind it The mayor of Seattle, in a tory loan address in Topeka. presses the opinions of patriofic Americans in declaring that the police find of can state Vie- ex cnces with the Bolsheviki” instead of driving them out of the’country or| Dutting them in prison for life.
