And then they will take the law into their own hands again, us they did Ht Millcdge vlllo, and wreak whatever vengeance they wish upon the person who has gone 'through a trial.

We venture to say not a one of the lynch ing pai'.y cares a rap for a change In the law that would make impossible a repetition cf Governor Slatou'u uct In commuting the sentence of this man Frank. That's why the murder of Leo Frank will do no good. It sets back Georgia generations, and it will bo years before the State lives down the horrlblo tragedy enacted by a handful of men who wero incapable of think ing aright and Incapable of exorcising eelf control. That's about all tho lynching will mean. And Mayor Woodward Is not addi ng anything to Georgia's ropattation by bis speeches Justifying the lynching of Frank and warning Slaton not to return to Atlanta. \ ?. 3 , THE GREAT CONSPIRACY. The exposure by the Now York World of tho amazing German con spiracy against American neutrality is certain to bave great und far-reach ing effects. There has been much loose talk of such a conspiracy for m My months, and some pretty de lin I.e charges; but now by documen tary evidence the World seems to have proved the exi&tnnce of a situation far moro dangerous and offensive than the American pubFc has imagined. The published letters, whose auth enticity Is not disputed, indicate a powerful, thoroughly organized pro paganda in the United States main tained at the oxpenso of tho German government and operating partly through Ute German embassy at Washington, for tho purpoeo of win ning American support for Germany, turning AraorScan sentiment against Great Britain and above all stopping tho export of munitions to the Allies. The outstanding facts of this cam paign are its hypocrisy, its audacity, Ms offensiven ess to a friendly nation and Its compromising effects on the great numbers of American citizens involved in it. Tho unmasking of tho propaganda which has professed to bo "pro-Amorl can" and "noutral" sceme complete. Tho "Fatherland," tor example, the magazine published by George Syl vester Viereck, which has been loud est in its denunciations of our gov ernmental policy and of the "sub sidized American prose," is shown to havo boon Itself supported **T the Ger man government, to t'je extent of $1, 750 a month, paid to Editor Viereck by Dr. Albert, German privy coun sellor and director of tho American campaign.. letters are reproduced ' showing that the Germs chancellor himself sought to nurango fcir the j subsidising of American war corres-1 pendente; that plans were submitted | to the Gorman government for the es-, tabllsbmcnt of an ostensibly Ameri can news bureau to provide pro-Ger man newa in disguise to American papers; that an effort was made to buy a creai newa distribuant agency; that a report ecnt- by a secret Ger man agent to the German embassy at Washington set forth plans to cause a strike in Cleveland, TVtroit and Cin cinnati muni ion factories, at a cost of $50,000; that the German oiuhassy was apparently cognisant of an at tempt to stop exports by financing a strikt? o? longshoremen in Atlantic and l'acide ports; that the military attache of the German embassy was Interested In a plan to buy up the American output of chlorine, or "poison gas," to keep the Allies from getting it; that a contract was made for buying Thomas A. Ed'son's out put Of carbolic acid, to be used iu making Gorman explosives; that at tho very time Germans were so loud ly insisting cn the "immorality" of selling arms to belligerents, the Ger man government was buying and equipping a Bridgeport, Conn, factory to manufacture shells, ostensibly for the Allies but actually for Germany. Many of these activities are In their . nature legitimate, If pursued by open and legitimate methods. But they are all tainted by stealth and hypocrisy, and many of them are pushed far be yond the limit of national tolerance, not to mention diplomatile decency. Neither Bngland nor France nor any other toclMgorent has been guilty of such pernicious activity. It,is noth ing less than a deliberate conspiracy against a friendly nation, and an im Ira Centi It's really amazing are being.grabbed.

It Is scarcely conceivable that tin so revelat'ons can fall to eauso the departure of Ambassador von Berns torff and some of bis subordinates, especially the military and naval at taches. As for our O e rin in-American and unhyphenated pro-Germans, there is little doubt or Uic outcome. Most of these citizens, it must be recognized, have been sincere. But most of them have been lamentably milled by their own sentiment or prejudice and by il legitimate influences emmanatlng from Berlin, and some of them may have been corrupted by German bribes. Surely the 82.000.OuO a wee* estimated by the World as the cost of the cam paign cannot all bare . been spent legitimately. Hereafter suspicion will attach to every publication and every public man in America that ventures to plead Germany's cause. It Is unfortunate for the honest and atnecro pro-Ger mans, and in most cases It may be unfair, bnt it is so.
