on her six or eight thousand passenger ships, freight ships, sailing

In a certain Western State a German professor of electricity resigned
from his institution. He was receiving about $3,000 a year. Many months
passed by. One day this man was heard defaming England. "England has
destroyed the freedom of the seas. England controls Gibraltar and the
Suez Canal. England is the great land pirate. England is the world
butcher." A Secret Service man followed the German professor, and found
that he was working as fireman at the wireless station of that great
city. This German professor of electricity had resigned a $3,000 a year
position to work for $75 a month as fireman. As soon as he found that
the United States Government was upon his track he fled to Mexico. This
spy's camouflage was love for the United States, but his treason was

arrested at dark, tried at midnight, and shot at daybreak.

There is a newspaper reporter in this country. This German-American was

Germans would smash Hades out of them!" In that moment he revealed his
real attitude towards the United States. Any man that wants Admiral
Beatty defeated wants the American transports sunk and American soldiers
murdered. That reporter should also have been arrested at dark, tried at
midnight, and shot at daybreak.

In another city there is a young Irish writer. He fulfills all the
proverbs about the crazy Irishman. In connection with the Sinn Fein
conspiracy this young writer proposed a toast to the memory of Sir Roger
Casement, the success of the revolution, and poured forth such
bitterness upon England as cannot be described by those who hate
ingratitude towards a country that has given us a chance to prepare.
Wherever that man goes he carries hate with him towards Great Britain.
His atmosphere is malign; his presence breathes treason towards England.
That is another man who should have be
