When Democracy Exerts Itself.

“Here (in’America) and there i'in Russia) German propaganda is seek ing to sap the strength of a fret' democracy. “German money is buying men and inspiring the press here and there to build up a great concealed structure of treason. “Heps and there are sentimentalists who, while speaking for peace and justice, are lending themselves to the greatest enemy of peace and justice. | “Here and there are men who proclaim their conscience and sell their ■ country. “When American democracy exerts itself against the enemy within let these men beware.” —Elihu Root.
