Better Treatment of Foreigners.

The inclination to leave a 'arf brick" at every
man suspected of being foreigner is not so gem
eral in this country as Mr., Punch once suggested
it to be along the London waterside, but there
have at times been outbreaks of animosity toward
certain classes of aliens sufficient to give point to
the treaty which has just been ratified between
the United States and Italy.
It is long step forward In international rea-
lions to give the subjects or citizens of foreign
state who may never so much as have visited this
country, the same rights in our courts as our own
citizens The right Is Of course reciprocal but for
obvious reasons it is likely to be exercised by Ital
ians much more frequently than by Americans
That 1t will be abused we do not fear. Our courts
are surely to be trusted to prevent that.
Probably the most important result Will be 10
make municipal and state authorities more scrupu-
Ions and efficient in safeguarding aliens. If So
that will be a great gain.

The American Defeat at Wimbledon.

After the brilliant successes of young Mclaughlin
in the earlier rounds Of the all-England tennis, his
defeat by Wildng Of New Zealand, in straight sets
comes as q disappointment and surprise. English
followers of the sport had quite resigned themselves
to seeing the championship cross the water. But at
the last the steadiness and skill of veteran proved
too much for young challenger.
The victory raises again the old question Of the
Justice Of not requiring champion to play through

the old rule has been abandoned At Newport the
champion now plays through on an equality with
every other player The Notwithstanding match
bears close resemblance to a long list Of matches
played at Newport under the old rule, when tried
challenger gone stale through forcing himself to the
limit in earlier matches fell far below his true form
upon facing fresh and UNMARRIED champion.
There can be no question Of Wildng's mastery Of
the game Playing at the top of his form as he was
Yesterday. he is undoubtedly very close to McLough-
lin even at the latters brilliant best Had the two
met in an earlier match Of the tournament there
would have been fight worth going miles to see.
And now for the Davis cup. A long, hard struggle
Is before the American team. But its chances are
excellent II is part Of the delightful, indomitabe
spirit of Mclaughlin not to be cast down by defeat
and he certainly has no to be after his brill
liant successes against the best of England geeraly

champion, as a matter Of fact. Youth failed I'm Il

Who Shall Lead Through Panama !?

The suggestion that Spanish ship should be in
vited to make the first passage through the Panama
Canal is novel and courteous and is instinct with a
certain historical and sentimental fitness which will
probably make strong appeal to thoughtful minds.
We have hitherto repeatedly called attention to
the interesting circumstance that the completion of
the canal will practically coincide with the fourth
dredth anniversary of the first crossing of the 18th
mus by a European. 1t would have been fecitous,
had it been practicable to arrange for sending the
first vessel through from Colon to Balboa on that
exact date, ST. Michaes Day In the absence of
that achievement however there certainly should be

THAT FRATERNITY PROBLEM
A Member of Alpha Delta Phi De-
tends the Action Taken.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: AS reported in your paper Of yes
terday, DR.. Howard s. Bliss, OF Beirut,
took occasion in Plymouth Church the
day before to add his mite to the CEN
sure which has been so freely passed
upon the action OF Alpha Delta Phi in re-
yoking the charter OF its Manhattan
chapter
He is a good Alpha Delt; so am |. May
| ask II the good doctor or any other or
these critics has reliable information
from the authorities OF the fraternity on
the conditions and causes which justified
the action in the case? So far as / have
seen these hasty judgments have been
based solely on published reports which
are manfesty one sided.
We have been given in the public press
only the partisan statement In a very
meagre quotation OF the supposed basis
of the fraternity action. AS a member OF
that fraternity for over fifty-two years,
knowing something of its spirit, purposes
and work, | venture the assertion that
revoking the charter OF the Manhattan
chapter was TO keep the fraternity up 10
the high ideals, principles and purposes
on which II was founded. Until l hear
from the inside authority to the contrary
| shall think this. A weak link In a
chain weakens 'he whole chain.
II is not a new or unheard OF thing 20
revoke the charter of local chapter OF a
Greek letter society. When In an Alpha
Delta Phi convention in my college days,
we discussed very earnestly the matter
of revoking the charter OF a chapter in
one of the foremost of New England col
leges. The chapter in question was re-
ported not TO be measuring up TO the
ideals nor carrying out the high aims OF
the fraternity.
pertinent case now comes to mind.
In my college days another Greek letter
fraternity had been unfortunate in the
men taken into the local chapter for two
succeeding years. That element, which
became the dominant one in the chapter
wofuly perverted the aims and char
acter OF the chapter. Result, a few of its
members, faithful to their fraternity obli-
cations petitioned for the recall OF their
charter. which petition was granted
| Another Greek letter society In the Col
lege of the City OF New York besides
Alpha Delta Phi l understand. deemed
they had sufficient reason to recall the
charter OF their chapter In the college,
and did so.
Now. as to the intimation OF DR.. Bliss
and others so widely published, that
Alpha Delta Phi is anti-Jewish, nothing
could be further from the truth.
| deprecate that this point has been
raised by the critics of this great college
fraternity. There is no rule nor bylaw OF
this society initiating against that race
or any other. On the other hand. in my
old college, Wesleyan University. in my
day there, We took Jew from an enter
ing class and made a good. loyal Alpha

Sunday Baseball.

According to Attorney General Carmody's opin-
ion Sunday baseball games cannot be played with
the public present even though the spectators are
invited and no fee Of admission is charged, ana
even though the game is held in an unsettled place
where the peace of the day is not disturbed This
is an absurd interference with the reasonable use
Of the day.
So, too we believe there is no public sentiment
to sustain restriction which prevents the play
ing. under suitable conditions, of baseball game
on Sunday whose proceeds go to charity, like the
proposed game for the benefit of the Newsboys'
Home which had to be called off because 1t was
held that the law prohibited It. Indeed pre-
cisely similar game. for the benefit Of the Titanic
victims. was played year ago with the general
approval Of the community.
Certain sports on Sunday, conducted so as not to
interfere with the days peace, contribute to the
health of and make for good morals In the COM
munity They are almost as much necessities In
their way as some OF the Sunday activities which
the law recognizes and permits.

A Barbarous Tax.

The Pennsylvania Legislature dropped back into
economic barbarism when it recently imposed an

the smaller purchasers. Moreover 1t is against the
interest Of the community to handicap the use Of
a valuable source of heat and power. The cheaper
that power is and the freer its employment the more
efficient the community becomes as producer Of
wealth and comforts. It would be just about as
sensible to put tax per foot pound on the water
with which mills and factories operated, thus
artifcialy diminishing the value of the gifts which
nature has bestowed upon US.
Possibly what influenced the Pennsylvania Legs-
lature was the notion that coal consumers outside

The President at Gettysburg.
SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1918.

Most Presidents make speeches at Gettysburg
sooner or later, but few do so without reluctance
In common with all other statesmen and orators OF
the later generation, they feel handicapped by the
inevitable comparison in form and substance OF
what they have to say with what Lincoln said The
standard set by him is still unapproachable, and Is
likely to remain so as long the memory OF Gettys
burg lasts.
President Wilson is himself orator and phrase
maker Of more than ordinary distinction. He has
discretion as well as felicity, and 1t is an evidence
of his restraint and judgment that he tried to make
his speech at Gettysburg yesterday as unpretentious
as possible In its informally it struck the appro
pirate note and in at least one sentence 1t sum
married. the greatest work, next to saving It, done
for the nation by the Civil War. Said Mr. Wilson:
81 have in mind another host, whom these set free
of civil strife in order that they might work out In
days Of peace and settled order the life of great
nation"
Our real problems as nation and as a democracy
could not be worked out while the two sections
faced each other in suspicion or enmity or while
the unquenched passions of the Civil War still held
them apart From Van Burens day to Mckinley
sectionalism hung like dead weight about the
country's neck and men thought not OF common
progress, but only of pushing forward one section
and holding back another

fact that it had completely ended so far as the par
Elephants in the war concerned that the Gettys
burg reunion was conceived and held. The true sig
ncance Of the exercises Of the past week is that the
mission of those who fought has now been absolutely
fulfilled and that the nation go ahead unitedly
to work out the problems of its life.
