THE ENEMY ALIEN It was an interesting statement which was made by Dr. Davis, a den- tist who has been dcing business in’ Germany and wh) numbered the kaiser among his patrons, cn his return to thie esuntry, not oniv in regard to the experiences of himself and ethers in getting away from Germany, the conditions there and the attitude to- ward the entrancs of America into the war, but partieularly to the marked contrast which he showed to exist be- tween the methods which are adopted in that country relative to enemy aliens and those in vogue here. There can be Iittle surprise at the astonishment whick he manifests at the freedom which the Germans amons us, the enemy allens, enjoy. Huch is llmplr unbeard of in Germany where cts Of enemy countries ,are k.t under the closest surveillance and are severely penalized for the jeast infraction of the rules. Ever since the war broke out, even hefore this country departed from its neutral stand, this country has felt the effects of this freedom which is extended to the enemy allen. Our easy ways have been understood amd tull advantage has been taken of them to help the enmemy. The freguent ar- rests by the secret service demon- strate this conclusively. 1t might not be expected that we would pattern after Germany In this respect any mors than L we would adopt other practices to which it re- sorts, but it must be apparent that we cannot be too lemient with our freedom to the enemy or too.light in the exaction of pemalties if we are going to properly protect ourselves, There can bs nc guéstion but what Dr. Davis has every reason to be sur- prised at our tolerance of the activi- ties and liberties of tho enemy alien, THE COMING LOAN. +__With interest do the people of.the United States learn of the fixing of the date by Secretary McAdoo for the opening of the next Liberty loan cam- paign. It has h2en known that it couid be expected this spring but the date wag uncertaii. It is now set for April 6, the first amiversary of the. entrance of this country into the great ‘war. This is only a month off but the time is nome too long in which to give publicity to the matter. It fs a mat- ter upon which the people should be thoronghly informed for the interven- ing time is needed by those who will provide the funds to make prepara- tions in one way or another, 1t is therefore of the utmost import- ance that Secretary McAdoo should set forth as fully as possible all the details in conmection therewith. The people should be thoroughly infermed before the campaign Opens as to just what is expected of them. They are willing and anxicus to do their part but they want to know the details.

As far as Sweden’s own goods were concerned this country had nothing (to say. When, however, goods which were purchased in this Gountry, either directly or.indirectly, were transship- ped into Germany,.or Swedish supplies were exported there because their equivalent’ was .obtained for use in Sweden from this country, it is per- fectly apparent that American goods were being used for the assistance of It would The agreement which has been en- tered into is therefore the result of the insistence on the part of this gov- || ernment that such trade must he stopped. We do not aim to handicap Bwedish trade only as it is hecessary to insure our own protection, which Sweden must realize if it looks the matter squarely in the face. THE TREATY WITH RUSSIA., There can be no cause for surprise in the action of Russia in grabbing Ruesian territory even #f ‘that which is taken by the treaty which Berlin declares has been signed with the bol- sheviki includes more than was asked for under the claims which were pre- senieq at the first Brest-Litovek con- fercnce. Gormany is out 16 rule. It has Rus- sia ‘by the throat, thanks in a large measure to those who have been try- ing to establish a povernment in Rus- sia in accordance with the theoriet which they haveradvbcated, and it is determined to get all it can while the getting is good. The only real eause for surprise is the fact that mere has not been demanded, In spitp of all that has been said by leaders in Germany and Austria it is impossible to dodge the fact that the eentral powers are out for con- quest. Germany wants to adonfinate and to %o 0 it must get ‘mere terri- tory. After due preparation it found Russia demoralized as far as any gov- ernment and fighting foree was con- cerped’ It was unwilling to aecept the attitude of the Russian leaders, Lenine and Protzky, that there would be no more war as far as Russia was concerned. ‘The opportunity to get mofe tefritory wag open. Russia was made to understand that it must do as Germany sald 6r fisht. Not being able to do the latter it was a case of bumbly submitting to the kaiser. The disposition to grab could not be put aside and the peace dictated by Ger- mzny is the result. Germany, Aus- tria and Turkey have already benefited: and Bulgaria will get its rake off from Rumania, and Russia has to wor- ry about not only what it has lost but Bow goon it will be raided for more.
