"OLD GLORY"
* "America For Americans
WHAT IS 1 REASON ?
Hurts is a general impression, ev
en among lawyers, that tile closely
restricted definition of treason giv
en by tie constitution of the Unit
ed Srates, with limitations far be
yond those imposed by the laws of
any other modern nation, makes
prosecutions and convictions for tha
crimo almost impossible. A re
cent resum0 of some decisions of
the supreme coure of the United
itatea and other federal courts pub
lished in the Los Angeles Times,
however, showg that convictions for
treason are easily to be had when
the facts justify th0 charge.
Tin language of the constitu'ion
is thai "treason against the United
atatee shall consist only in levying
war against them, or in adhering
to th»ir enemies, giving them aid
u..d comfort.''
la the case of Carlisle vs. U. S.
tlC Wallace, 147) the supreme
court held that "alien who is domi
ciled Within a country owes tem
porary allegiance to the govern
ment, which is co-extensive with
his residence under the protection
of the government." It has been
iurther decided that communication
«Jf intelligence to He enemy by
letter, telegraph c-r otherwise, re
lating to the strengih, movements or
position of the army and navy, is
treason, and in U. S. vs. Mitchell
12 Dull.., 357) that this constitutes
treason even when the letters have
been intercepted and do uot reach
the enemy..
Aid and comfort to tho euemy has
been construed to cover the giving
of advice to an enemy, or advanc
ing money or credit. Probably the
orfenses which have recently been
committed in the United States by
resident aliens, such as blowing up
munirions factories and the placing
of bombs on vessels destined to
Britisn ports, 'while merely offens
es against the civil law during
times of peace would constitute
overt acts of treason if committed
now, yhile a state of "war actually
exists. j
It may be Interesting to know
that the offense of misprision of
treason occurs whenever one
ha3 actual knowledge of the com
mission of treason and neglects to
lay the information before the
proper authorities. Our treason
laws need no enlargement, but
merely rigid enforcement. —Seattle

GREATEST VICTORY
War slays Its thousands; Peace
its »en thousands."
Thoughtful, red-blooded, Ameri
cans must today heartily share the
feeling expressed by Brig. Gen.
H. M. Chittenden that we are "on^
United States Scout Cruise? Chested
Photo by American Pres» Association.
With a speed of twenty-six knots an hour the Chester Is the fastest cruiser
In the United States navy. Sh« has a displacement of 3,750 tons, and her guns
consist of two flve-lnch and six three-Inch. She was built at the cost of $1,680,
574 and has 356 officers and men.
t\e point of winning one of the
greatest victories of the war—great
er perhaps than any we shall win
at arms—ia a complete rejuvena
tion of true American tern.' Denied
by ill-health tie blessed privilege
of giving his service t0 hljB country,
he, like countless thousands sim
ilarly debarred, sees In ft reborn
Americanism a sturdier nation and
a stronger people.
Ha says:
"Crass commercialism, love of
ease, false ideals of peace, have
dragged us far from our ancient
moorings. \Ve are rising: at last to
that moral elevation which enables
meii, as it did the heroic Marsell
lals of old, to 'Icnotv how to die'
when great principles are at stake.
We are beginning to realize that
thero may be worse things than
war, and things far better than a
craven peace."
Infinitely worse than war Is a
craven peace and infinitely heavier
the cost. Where war slays its
thousands, peace, (' at the Price of
"crass commercialism, love of eace"
<aud "false ideals," slayg its tens
of thousands. The Adage holds
true in this day and generation as
when first enunciated by the ancient
philosopher.
America, reborn, and animated
oy the spirit that made it free and
builded a nation, enters the war
tj fight for an ennobling peace,
no', founded upon sordid, slothful
conditions of wealth and ease, but
upon liberty and justice and right..
And in »he rejuvenated Americanism
already in evidence the Kreatest
victory of the war is at once in
sight.—Seattle P. I.
