Our Enemies Within;
Important Series of Articles
BT.i.lN'NIXO today The El Paso Herald starts the pnbtication of a
-i ri-'s of artiek-s on -hir Enemies Within."' being the story of dis-
turbances in this country against the government since the declara-
ti n of war acauist Germany.
H.e articles are prepare.! by the New York Tribune and arc pub-K-li'J
simultaneously by The New York Tribune and the El Paso Herald.
1 ii- oata h pn-pared by the New York Tribune experts and the articles
a:. copyrighted by the Tribune company. The next two articles will fol-
low w Wednesday and in the Week-End Herald. These articles are worth
rct'lm?; they have a most important bearing on the mat kin and its affaire.
The series of articles will show that there exists in this country a large
ant 'American element which carries on a propaganda with intent to baffle
the Vnitetl Statse government in its conduct of the war.
This propaganda is inspired partly by German money and partly by a
'pint of radical ism which having been easily tolerated m time of peace
bc-omes now a great menace to the whole country. It strikes at the vital
pi. in:- of our industrial system by organizing disloyalty and discontent
a: i.;i? the alien workers and it seeks openly to defeat eonseription.
Tlamifieations of this dangerous work are deep and surprising. The
fon ilh language press hitherto working in the dark has beome in many
(a-..- evtrimely seditious. More important still organized labor will be
put to its test.
'I In- following news item gives you an idea of the thing to be com-

" Die American Alliance for Labor and Democracy is the name of the
orpi nization perfected by Amerian Federation of Labor leaders yesterday
to i ombat the activities of those who in the name of labor are accused of
trin? to play Germany's game in this crisis. Samuel Gompers is the
i h.nriuan of the new organization which will be financed by the American
K. Jer.it ion of Labor and kindred bodies.
"T" fight is now on to a finish" said Mr. Gompers after the meeting.
"The i-sue is straight cut whether or not the labor movement in this
country shall be American or anti-American. Our work will be to Ameri-
ran i7.- the element of the working class not yet thoroughly Americanize!
and lonibat those who under any name would prostitute the name of labor
lor the benefit of the foes of the United States and of labor."
In this series there will be several articles quoting from papers all
o.t tiie country showing bow the campaign is systematically carried on
and it- aggregate'significance. The articles giving extracts from papers
pubh-hed in widely separated localities coached in identical language or
only slightly vanea.
Other articles will show how the same kind of disloyal campaign is

YESTERDAY'S tremendous
cannonade on the Flanders
battle front was followed
last night by two German at-
tempts to shake th British from
their hold on important sections
of newly won ground. Neither
of these met with any success
whatever. London reports.
The first attack was launched
in the Hollebeke region. The
Germans did tuit even succeed
here in reaching the British
lines. Later the German guns
laid down a barrage at West hoe k
and the infantry tried to push in
under its cover. They met with
no more saccess. however than
Shey had done at Hollebeke.
PeseV Key! Attoefcf
On the French front aside from
the Flanders area there was con-
siderable activity on the part of
the Germans. They made at-
tacks in the region of Boviile. at
Avocourt wood and Alsace. The
French guns were able to cope
with the situation in each case.
