Are Wc Subjects of England ? Are We fret born American cititena or have we been secretly betrayed into the power tad under the suzerainty of our former master, England? - v vr - Is J. P. Morgan simply the British agent in this country or is he in reality the English king's viceroy over this territory ? Is the United States an independent nation or is it a British colony? Did Washington fight and Lincoln die ; in vain? -

Such are the1 Questions inspired by the latest dastardly attempt of the proBritish to further their campaign o;fUching a billion dollars from the pockets of 'the American people by denounce ing in nation wide publicity the endeavors of those who would prevent this holdup as participators in a country-wide pro-German plot. : This is the culminating insult in that campaign of villification and abuse with which all who since the very beginning of the present war have refused to bow the knee to England and proclaim their abject pro-Britishism have been persecuted, ; The Associated Press, which has been conspicuously partial to pro-British news throughout the war, last night burdened the wires with a dispatch assuming that a "country-wide plQt" existed as a result of "the proGerman campaign against the flotation of a $1,000,000,000 Credit loan by the United States to Great Britain and France." It stated further that the personal safety of the six members of the visiting Angkh French financial commission was "threatened, that they have doubled their bodyguard, that at the request of the. New York police they do not dare announce in advance where they intend going for any day and must always be guarded by detectives when they appear on the streets. Furthermore, German-American bank depositors were charged with widespread threats to withdraw their deposits from any banks in which they had funds that participated in the proposed British loan. s " Well, why shouldn't it be necessary for the members of this financial commission to be guarded against bodily harm in New York, the city whose newspapers and magazines have been foremost and bitterest in hounding and persecuting as prorGefmans and plotters and eanspfas ators all thosie who dared see any justice on Germany's side in this war or who were bound to that country through ties of blood? Persecution is a dangerous weapon. It maddens by hideous injustice many f its victims and thereby arouses in their breasts a bloodthirsty desire to bring retribution to its wielders. So New York doe's well to guard the persons of these commissioners.

As to pro-Germans withdrawing their deposits from banks that participate in the proposed British loan, why , shouldn't they ? .It is : their money and by withdrawing it they simply refuse further financial support to those so-called American banking institutions that Would support the fading glory of their fatherland's enemy and seek to bolster its shrinking credit at the expense of the American people. There is surely nothing traitorous in that if this is a free republic. On the contrary all Americans regardless of

wtthr tfcty are a pro-tfc& or a pho-that or no pro at all will do wall to consider the ultimate safety f lianktaj inttitut funds are deposited that support jajui partid$at in this proposed British loan- Britain does not propose to guarantee fear loan from us with the American securities of her own investors as collateral. She wants to borrow the enormoua sum of one billion dollar from us on her mere prom ise to ure4 only by her dwindling chance of a. decisive victory over the Germans. Yesterday England announced her daily war expenses as $23,000,000 a day. At this rate our billion dollars would last England just orty? three days. Then she would need more for according to these figures her expenses are running at the rate of $8,8$5,000.000 per annum. Judging from her present rate of progress against Germany the war will last long enough for England to try many times to - duplicate a billion dollar loan, to become a bankrupt nation i and consequently to repudiate her indebtedness. If American banks do take this unsecured British loan they wiU naturally try to work it off on American investors. They won't hold the sack unless they have to. If, however, American investors this time refuse to be the goats and these bonds remain on the shelves of the banks that floated them in the expectation of making handsome commissions, what then of the safety of your deposits when: these British promises to pay on account of repudiation become worthless assets? Do you wonder, therefore, that the plain, every day American banks of. Richmond which wear no "pro-" before their names are outspoken in their disapproval of this proposed unsecured British loan? Of course, all this indignation at the methods and ends of the great pro-British campaign in the United States is futile and foolish if we are no longer citizens of a free republic where everyone is entitled to freedom of conscience and liberty of expression. If pro-Britishism under the leader ship of J. P. Morgan, the accredited British agent in this country, through control of the press, our national financial system and even our government; as our state department's policy against Germany would sometimes make one be lieve, has irrevocably committed this country to a secret though not silent alliance with Britain, then we are to all intents end purposes no longer free. "We are in this case nothing Vnore than a British colony and Washington's exalted efforts from 1776 to 1783 are betrayed. Cut down by the assassin's bullet after he had preserved the Union from, the misguided efforts of many of it$ own citizens, aided by British gold, to dismember it, harassed during his superhuman efforts by Britain's cynical and selfish destruction of the American merchant marine under cover of the confederate flag, Lincoln, if J. P. Morgan is now in reality King George's viceroy of the United States, died in vain. If Americans, however, have not lost their pride of free citizenship and are still mindful of the great ideals and sacrifices that founded and preserved our nation, they will unite to overthrow pro-British control of their thoughts and activities and government. This action, if accompanied by a return to true Americanism, would also result in the dissipation of pro-Germanism for that is but the counter irritant to the inflammation of pro-Britishism. True Americanism would busy itself with preparing the nation for defense against foreign foes and behind this rampart it would expend its surplus capital on developing legitimate industry rather than loan it for purposes of devastation and inhumanity, It would remember the advice of the immortal Washington against entangling foreign alliances and its regained and reunited national soul again attuned to the ever living words of the martyred Lincoln at Gettysburg, would send Christ's message of love and peace to the war stricken nations instead of Hell's instruments of degradation, torture and death.

Her Husband's Widow

Sir Ralph Gaveston rose next inorning three hours earlier than bis wont, mixed himself a brandy and soda, and, slipping on a shabby dressing gown, descended the stairs. Unshaven and unkempt, be looked in the cruel mbrning light ten years older than be was. He thrust bis bead Into the concierge's den. "Any letters. for me?" be inquired anxiously.'--- vV . .' . V : with exasperating slowness the concierge sorted, out the correspondence left in his charge for the various tenants and at last banded the impatient baronet half a dozen letters. Sir Ralph examined the? at once. With a curse he crammed, them into bis pocket. Most of them bore the English stamp and. were, be knew without opening them, dun of notice! of creditors' meetings. The advice be bad expected from Mrs. Melas was net there. He hurried upstairs. "No matter," be consoled himself, "she will telegraph" "You're looking ap old man, Ralph, my boy, before you're eixty," be said to himself. He sighed. iNever bad hlf toilet been more elaborateHe wondered duly it he would be happier if be were capable of caring for some other than himself. He could not remember ever to have cared for anybody very mucb. except Ralph Gaveston yet bow- tbe . b4 loved aim! ' ! -J'.ii .j --V Now as he looked back one girlish fact stood out distinctly. Tes, ae really bad cared for her for a time. $otae wild idea of marrying her had once Dieted through bis bead. Now be

came to think of it, he would have married her if she had not died. ' He bad meant to inquire further about the circumstances of her death, but she had bidden herself those last few months and be had been forced to stay on the . Continent to keep out of the way of bis creditors. He put on bis neat gray bowler bat and hurried down to the nearest cafe. He .called for a Paris-Lyons time table. .... .. At three o'clock be returned to bis lodgings. He found no message from Mrs. Meias, but one' from Erdsley. It contained some cuttings from a Loudon financial organ, which declared the Aqiiidaban syndicate, to be a gigantic swindle and hinted that the criminal prosecution of the directors wa being considered. "W must aquare this rag somehow," Erdsley had - written in the margin. I "If we can't Ct $10,000 within the next fortnight we are done for.' Since the woman bad tailed him for the moment Sir Ralph decided that it would be worth while to follow the new trail a little further. He would see bis cousin, and perhaps -extract some information about Leslie's past. As he walked, toward the Elysse Palace be asked himself whether in the last desperate extremity it might sot be worth while appealing to Varney. fHulIon! Oawald greeted aim carelessly. "You are in time tor some tea, if you ever drink anything so mild. SU40WB."' Sir Ralph said be would be glad to have some tea and added something

about not being so young as he used to

oe. Oswald looked at aim in amused

surprise.

"That's a new note, isn't it? I al

ways feel an old stager when I'm In

your company. By the way," be re

marked, as the waiter withdrew, "you

have just missed your charmer." "Whom do you mean, Oswald?

"Mrs. Meias. I thought you were

quite struck on her. She la staying here." "The deuce she is! When did she get here?" - The Widow Goes 6ut With Captain Steele. "She came by the nigbt train. She was surprised to find me here. She asked at once if bad seen anything of Steele, and when I told her he was here she jumped for joy." Oswald smiled sardonically. "She telephoned Steele and bad him to lunch, and they've gone out driving together. Said something about dining at Arme aonville." Sir , Ralph was better skilled than moat men in concealing his emotional but - his expression of dissatisfaction did not escape Varney, who remarked that it was enough to turn the milk sour. He replaced bis. cup on the table with considerable violence. "He's after her money," he remarked viciously. ' r Oswald leaned back In his chair and surveyed hia cousin with amuse, meat.. . ;-;:''.v' '- "So . you' know." be said, "that 1 almost suspected you of a like design?" "I want to marry her, if that's what you mean." "1 thought so. Well, if Steele has eatered for the same sUkes I shall back bna."- ', .- ' He returned to Jenny's hotel at 10 9'lock, and sat waiting for over an

The brilliantly lighted haU thronged with visiters and servants was scarcely pro. uttious setting lor a declaration of love. He suggested the terrace. She assented with a readiness which wgs oaeeuraging. They found a retired corner. Oaveston waited till the waiter bad brought coffee and liquor and gone away. He leaned over and lit her cigarette. Then looking at her reproachfully he asked: "Why didn't you wire m. Jenny? I had been longing to see you el! day. Do you know I bad been waiting at the station from seven till three?" - . His voice broke: It-we vory well done for a man who bad not really been in love for twenty-three years of so. . '

Mrs. Meias opened be? mouth to

laugh, then checked herself la time. "Oh, I'm so sorry," fba stammered, "didn't you get my telegram?" "Your telegram no.""I sent it to the, address you gave me. Rue Ricbepanso, wasn't it?" It was a lie, though an adroit one, and be knew it. "No," be said sadly- "I live in the Rue Richelieu, but what does it matter? You didn't want me. Y6u have spent the whole day with Captain Steele." .;;' Jenny played with the ends of her stole. "Who told you that?" she asked sharply. "Varney. I called hare hungering for a sight of you. aad then learned it all," "Captain Steele is an old friend of mine, you know," , said Mrs. Meias defensively. . "i doubt If he is worthy of you, Jenny. He is neither a very young man able to offer you his first love nor a man of ripe years, like myself, who finds In you what be has been seeking all his lite, and sought vainly." Mrs. Meias turned on her admirer sharply. "How do you know that Tm not

ed, a fierce glitter in her eyes. Gaveston saw that bis shot bad told "He told you that you were, then?" he asked. "Never mind that in point of fact he didn't but what do you know

about him?" There was a new note of anger in her voice. "You don't know

that he's ever loved a woman before

His appetite was so bad that he scarcely ever ate a square meal, complaining that be was sick at bis stomach and did not want anything to eat. Neighbors praised this Teniae and I urged him to get some of the medicine. Up to the present time be has used two bottles of Teniae and he baa Improved in every way. He eats anything; that be wants and digests it, his sleep Is sound and restful, and he says that he la feeling fine, more energetic than in years. We are both glad to recommend Tanlac."

The Congressional Union tor Womaa Suffrage has but one object in view the psssage of the federal suffrage amendment - popularly named the Susan B. Anthony amendment, after its first champion. Under the leadership of Miss Alice Paul, this national organisation was quick to see that the key to the suffrage situation la this country waa la the bands ot the voting women of the west, the women with the ballot in their hands. It is to these women that they are now appealing, and who are now thronging to California as delegatea. Within the space of two years the Union baa found a stronghold in every suffrage state aa well as in the majority of tbe non-suffrage states. Tbs rallying cry of the Congressional Unionists that women stand by women and the west aid the eaat la the old battle for the enfranchisement of tbs women of America, baa found an echo In all the women's organizations of tbe west. Mrs. O. H. P.
