FOUR YEARS OF FIGHTING. ," Today marks the beginning of the fifth year of the world war. That it has continued so long Is a proof of its desperate character. People are just beginning to comprehend fully the devil ish thoroughness of German preparation or world conquest In August, 1914, many thought the war would be, over within the year, reason ing that means for slaughter had attained to such high effectiveness that the mere slaughter would bring an early cessation of fighting through physical exhaustion of the combatants. Humani tarians have been sadly awakened to the truth that junkerdom recks little of hujpafi life, save as it provides a soldier who rqay ultimately bring it victory and triumph over the body of its last opponent f This is not the only lesson taught uf by the war. Americans have been given a most impres sive illustration of a danger that had sprung up at home, the machinations of; a foreign power, pretending friendly interest in all our doings, sharing in all our achievements, and insidious ly undermining our institutions and threatening our national existence. Revelations now being made, involving men Of wealtfand position, and presumably of honor, as willing parties to the gigantic conspiracy, are fairly stupefying in their aspect How soon the great tragedy will close in the utter defeat of the kaiser and the complete rout of the Potsdam pirates may not be said, but it has been made certab by the entry of America into the conflict Our neoole were aroused in time; they have shaken off all semblance of lethal argy, and are putting forth , their incalculable strength of intellect, manhood and wealth, to rid the world of its most terrible menace. - Four years of fighting have taught us much, bu nothing we have learned is greater than the knowledge that ourJiberties are only safe when we are prepared to defend them. And this should never again be lost sight of in free America. Side Issues Sidetracked. - By the adoption of platform declarations by both political parties in Nebraska favoring rati fication of-the federal prohibition amendment and equal suffrage one good thing is accomplished, t least for this campaign. Side issues are side tracked and right-of-way given to the one over shadowing and controlling issue of "win the war" 'as speedily as possible and help 6ur boys "lick the kaiser." The political- party that presents the men to the people who can be best depended on to push along that job will appeal strongest to popular support. In order to hit profiteers a deadly blow the Kitchin committee has decided to double the tax on amusement tickets. That is going after the plunderbunda-with a vengeance. Chairman Hays has been head of the repub lican national organization for only a few months, but he has already thoroughly demonstrated that he is the right man in the right (Slace. ; , 't will Harvey Hitcbbranch now dfrecrhis bat teies on the editor of the' New York Globe and demand to know why he maliciously picks on our pure-minded democratic senator from Nebriakaf Four years ago today the kaiser started on his long delayed visit to Paris.

' "Every republican vote east in November is a nail in the kaiser's coffin; every republican con gressman elected is another stone piled on his tomb." 'So spoke Chairman Hays in Chicago on the way to Lincoln, and thus he answered Jimham Lewis and other bourbonites who prate of bonfires in Berlin to celebrate a republican victory. While our democratic brethren baveNsserted a proprie tary Interest In patriotism under the smoke screen of .unselfish support for the war, they have taken every possible opportunity to entrench themselves politically with a view to retention of power after, the war is over. Here they underestimate the intelligence of the American people. The in sincerity of their own professions is shown by the efforts made to dictate a choice of demo crats to voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and other republican states. Plainly, partisan ship in its worst form has been wrapped in the flag by the democrats, who dread the conse quences their blundering, but hope to keep their grip on the machinery of government through assumption of superior virtue. Republican success In November will assure the whole woild that no faint-hearted movea will be made by America, and It will assure Americans that no let-up will come until victory crowns our arms. Help for the Russians. The exact nature of the terms on which Mr. Wilson has consented that the United States shall take part in the joint move for the help of Russia have not yet been disclosed, nor- has the personnel of the commission the president proposes to send over Enough is now known to justify the conclusion that Japan will be looked to for most of the soldiers, although each of the allies will be represented in the column. It has also been stated that the United States has pledged unlimited "economic assistance to Russia. This latter promise can only be ful filled when real order has again been set up, and yie people have come to realize what is due from them in the way of self-help rather than self-pity. 4 The nation is already sobering .off from its debaucfi of bolshevism, but the wrick is so complete and extelsive that a new "start will not. he 'easily made. For the next few months the greatest task will be to save Russians from death by starvation,, plague orexposure. Another seed time may find them ready hot only to plant but to defend their fields. Next to our mission In France, Jhe Job. of rehabilitating the Russian looks like our most important under taking. ! t;y:? -V.

German control of the metal industry in the United States was smashed for all time, it was announced by A. Mitchel Palmer, alien property custodian, the other day when he took over the business of L, Vogelstein & Co.. Inc of No. 42 Broadway, and of Beer, Sondheimer & Co., Inc., of No. 61 Broadway. The assets of the former company are up wards of S9.000.000, and those of the latter are upward of SJOOO.OOO. It was stated at tne neaaquarters ot tne alien property custodian, No. 110 Wesy Forty-second street, that L. Vogelstein & Co. and Beer, Sondheimer & Co. not only played an important part in Germany's declaration of war, but also in the cpntinuation of the war after Germahy had gotten into it. Through their domination of the metal in dustry in this country these concerns were enabled to send vast supplies of copper and other necessary metals to Germany. The two companies, as well as the enemy interests in Stallforth & Co. of No. 120 Broadway, dealers in silver bullion, with a capitalization of $1,000,000, -were taken over by Mr. Palmer as the result of air investiga tion conducted by Francis P. Gatvan, direc tor of the bureau of investigationflf the alien property custodian's office. Further investigation into the metal industry is being made by Mr. Garvan. - - - Beer, Sondheimer & Co. and L Voglestem & Co. were affiliated with the German Metal Gesellschaft, which for years has dominated the entire metal market of the world. They dominated the metal market of this country in such a manner that they were enabled to sell copper, aluminus, zinc and other metals in Germany at a price much lower than the American consumer has to pay. Stallforth & Co. was another link in the chain of theu tQ ,ook tnreatening in this country, cent of the net profits" of the American branch, the German firm guaranteeing to each that the salary and partioipation in the profits shcaildtnot equal less than $18,700 a year. , .The German office orovided all the capital that was required in the business. At the J time these agreements were made Elkan and Frohnknecht were - German' citizens. Al though they had been ia thf United States for a number of years, they waited uniu early in 1917 before taking: out naturalization nart.rl in August, Wli, tne INew xorK corpora tion was organized with the corporate name of "Beer, Sondheimer & Co., Inc." Elkan and Frohnknecht, in their report to the alien property custodian explain the reason tor tne new organizational stating that at the out break of the European war it became difficult and finally impossible to communicate with German partners. . Being unable to communicate with the partners in Germarry, and it therefore being impossible to have a final statement of their accoimts as managers of the American branch, it was decided in' August, 1915, to organize under the new corporation-name. It is regarded as significant that the cap italization of the new company was only $1,000,000, whereas the books show that on June 30, 1919, the assets exceeded the liabili ties by $3,200,000, so that the book value of each share of stock was more than $300. Five' shares of stock were issued to quality directors and the balance of 9,995 shares was put into a voting trust, the voting trustees being Elkan and Frohnknecht, one Flack, a bookkeeper of the company, and a lawyer named Nelson. In the spring of mo, when the war clouds German control of the metal markets of this country, f. stallforth, the principal stock holder in the United States, is now interned at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. With the American Metal company, of No. 61 Broadway, the large enemy interest in which has been already taken over by the alien property custodian, Beer, Sondheimer & Co. and L. Vogelstein & Co., controlled most of the principal metal and smelting companies of this country, either by com plete 'ownership of stock or by the owner ship of enough stock to Rive them substan tial representation of boards of directors. Beer, Sondheimer & Co., owners of one half interest in the National Zinc company, the entire stock of the Luba copper com pany, the Cuba Coppeis. Leasing company and the Norfolk Smeltingcompany, andJO, 000 shares of the Minerals Separation Amer ican syndicate, Ltd. Vogelstein & Co. have large holding in the United States Metal Refining company and the American Zinc, Lead and Smelting company. The American Zinc, Lead and smelting company controls the Wisconsin Zinc company, American. Zinc company of Illinois, the American Zinc company of Ten nessee, the American Zinc Ore Separating company, the American Pipe Line company and the Oglesby Gas company. Of the 70, 000 shares of, the capital stock of the Amer ican Metal company 15,180 shares are owned by the Metalbank and Metal company of Frankfurt, Germany, and 18,180 shares by the . Metallgesellschait of the sane place. The American Metals company com pletely owns the American Zinc and Chem ical company, the Langeloth Coal company, tne Langeloth Mercantile company, the Langeloth Townsite company, the Ameridan Metal Transport company, the Bartlesville Zinc company and the South American Metal company, it aiso nas ' large noiamgs ot stock in the Ohio and Colorado Smeltine and Refining company, the Campania Minera de Penoles. of South America, tne Campania de MineraTes Metales of South America, the Campania Metalurgica de Torreon of South America; the Campania Mirrera Palome Gab- nilas of south America, the Compania de Combustibbs Agujita of South America, the Fundicion de Guayacan of South America. the Balbach Smelting and Refining company and the Nichols Copper company. -9 Mr. Garvan's investigation disclosed that L. Vogelstein & Gv and Beer, Sondheimer & Co. have supplied necessary metals tn Germany after the beginning of the war, in August, m, and the shipments were not discontinued until the Unhed States declared war on Germany. In 1914 the profits of Beer, Sondheim & Co. were $116,624; in 1915 the profits of this concern jumped to $1,013, 676, and in 1916 they reached the total of $2,000,000. In 1917, after the United States had entered the war, the profits of the com pany dropped to $196,900., The OrofitSof L. Vo?liltin A Cn ;nr April, 1916, were extremely large, the firm's uusmess ior ine last tnree years approxi mating $70,000,000. Between April and De cember of 1916 the profits of this firm amounted to upward of $2,500,000. , L. Vogelstein & Co. and Beer. Sondheimer Co. filed reports with the alien property custodian, as required by the trading with the enemy act, in which they claimed they were American-owned New York corporations. Mr. Palmer referred these rennrt tn his hureau of investigation, and after several months of investigation Mr. Garvan found that an endeavor had been made to cover up the German ownership of the assets after the declaration of war on Germany. by the United States. Prior to the war Beer, Sondheimer "& Co. of Frankfurt, Germany, established an Amer ican branch in New York, which was man aged by Benno Elkan and Otto Frohn knecht This was in 1904. They had writ ten agreements with the home office whereby each was to receive a salary varying in amount and each was to participate in the proms oi tne American business of the company. The American branch had control of the firm s business In the United" States, Canada, Mexico, South America and Central Amer ica. In 1912 Elkan and Frohnknecht made an agreement with the home office in Ger mny whereby each would receive a salary of $900 a month, and, in addition, 12J4 per Elkan and Frohnknecht, who were president and vice president of the new company, re spectively, with the. same salary and percent age as was provided for them in the 1912 agreement with the German office, engaged one' E. O Jacobson to go to Europe for the alleged purpose of purchasing from the Ger man partnership of 3,000 shares of stock owned by the home office in the. American corporation. They claim that Jacobson bought this stock at $80 a share and that they paid $240,000 for it, paying $151,000 in cash, and transferring to th German firm of $50,000, which they had or deposit on a subscription to the Gesman war loan. Jacob son is said to be dead. The only receipt sub mitted by- Elkan and Frohnknecht is for $89,000. , , x Mr. Garvan became convinced that the sale of the German-owned stock in the Amer ican concern was camouflaged. It appeared that all the money, with the exception of $89,000 held by Elkan and Frohnknecht, came from the treasury of the American corpora tion, which in turn was owned by the Ger man partnership. It also appeared that prop erty, which during the year in which it was purchased had yielded a profit of $2,000,000, had been bought for the sum of $240,000. Mr. Garvan in his investigation found that Vogelstein & Co. had stored large quantities of copper for delivery after the war to Aaron Hirsch & Son. He also found that the latter concern had guaranteed notes for several hundred thousand dollars, given to a New York bank by L. Vogelstein & Co. Mr. Palmer has taken possession of the entire $5,000,000 of stock and has taken control of the business. The Unit We Are ' Uncle Joe Cannon points to the fact that this is the firsi great war in which the United States Jias ever been engaged without 'hav ing a peace party in the country and in con gress. When we feel exasperated because. of individual Sedition and sporadic pro-Germanism, we can cheer ourselves with contempla tion ot the unity of the American people, a unity as extensive as the expanse of the country and as intensive in the south as in the north, in the west as in the east. The United States for the first time in its history is unanimous, and dissent from such unanimity is not tolerated, no more in Milwaukee than in Philadelphia, and. less so in Oklahoma than in Connecticut. Our peo ple are one people and they purpose to stay one people, persuasively if possible, forcibly if required. Mr. Cannon, who was a district attorney in Illinois during the civil war, prosecuted many seditionists in that time, and he de scribes the extent of the opposition to Lin coln, we knows many good citizens whose fathers were copperheads. But the fact is generally forgotten, for. as Mr. Cannon re marks, in America we do not punish the chil dren tor the sins of the parents. It is evidence of the singular justice and charity of the American disposition that we do not. Politically it is our policy and in clnation to give every sinner time to repent We do not persecute any man because of his religion or his. politics, and wewould afford everyone opportunity to readjust his mind to the revelations of the times. Just the same we do not purpose to cher ish vipers in dur bosom, and to permit move ments for the subversion of the American state and society. We have had enough of Germanism here and are prepared to handle it roughly, wherever it shows its ugly head. Notwithstanding some early distressing symptoms, we have now the right to con gratulate ourselves upon our attainment of unity., We find ourselves grown to the full stature of "nationhood. What Washington and Hamilton designed, what Lincoln laid down his life for, has arrived. And the ar rival has not been forced. It has come about. This unity must be maintained. We must stop every threat to it and repair every breach. Tolerant, inside of American na tionalism, we wish to be and can afford to be. But intolerant of every schismatic from Americanism, of every secret alienism, it is required of us to be, if we would bequeath to our children what has been acquired by much blood and suffering.
