THE CURSE OF DISCRETION.

There are probably many Americans goistic tendencies who are ready to CO., incide with the views of Colonel Roose- welt concerning the peace policies of the present administration but, while it must be admitted that at times the Wilsonian method of uphoding the dignity of these United States. hath. in all conscience, q most strange aspect. at the same time it also has advantages which cannot be discredited ill the eyes of the people by even the bombastic and martially inclined Teddy
 When the irrepressible Colonel emit ted that whOop of scorn and dersion anent the government. at Syracuse the other day. it is not believed for mom- ent that it found response in the hearts of the great mass of the American peo- pie for the very simple reason that the people of the United States despite their excessive ardor in "whooping it up" for the Grand old Rag" on all possible occasions have come to the view that war is a mighty serious thing and in the words of Taft "one not to be lightly undertaken While the policy of so called "watchful waiting" adopted by the administration in regard to the Mexican imbrogio resulted in no little criticism and much denunciation. time has proven the wisdom of the course pursued and, while it is doubtless true that many inoffensive Americans were ruthlessly slaughtered during the long period of brigandage following the un- seating of Mexico's autocratic ruler Diaz. time and investigation has dis closed that in many cases the Ameri- cans themselves were largely to blame for their untimely end. It has been eonclusiyely demonstrated in a consi- derable number of instances. that Americans, and other foreign residents, who lost their lives in Mexico had been guilty of an unwarranted interference in Mexican politics, with a total disre- gard of wisdom and discretion and in so doing not only brought about a termination of their own existence but also added further 10 that spirit of in- tense dislike toward Americans which has been a heritage to the Mexican people since the days of Buena Vesta and Chapultepec. Yet, each and every one of the cases in which Americans lost their lives would have furnished a reasonable pretext for an American in vasion as in nearly every case it was months before the true facts came to light.

GERMANY Y,CALLS
 FOR J. s. TUTORS

The European war has presented an unusual opportunity to American teachers who want to study in German universities. Hundreds of English the homes have been dismissed by the Germans since the war started in their effort to get rid of everything that is English
 Germany now wants these places filled with Americans for whom they have high regard. according to the report of Consul Henry G. Seltzer at Breslau which has just been received.
 "The European crisis has opened a most unusual opportunity for ambi- tious American teachers in German" Consul Baker reports. For years England has supplied almost all of. the English speaking teachers and tutors in the homes of the wealthier classes and the nobility. The work consists in instructing German children and adults in the ailments of English and in at tending the large universities them selves.
 "In most cases board and lodging is provided for them. These teachers all ways have been shown the highest re gard and respect and have associated with the best families in Germany.
 Applicants for these positions must he able to teach English grammer, lit erature. and compositions from Ger man English textbooks"

J. B, NAVY IS
 UNFIT FOR WAR

NEW YORK.-The creation of a council of national defense for which a bill is before congress, and the estab- lishment of q division of strategy and operations in the navy department were advocated by Rear Admiral Aus tin NJ. Knight, president of the Naval War college at Newport K. l., in an address before the Efficiency club re- gently.
 There can be no question that the existing organization of the navy de- partment is inadequated and would break down under the strain of war; the rear admiral said. "A navy has one excuse for existing. and only one-that it should always be ready to strike on the minute and with every element of power concentrated behind it's blow for the defense of the country
 Tt is a singular fact that the organi- Zation of the navy department takes no account of this relation of the navy to war. War is one thing for which no arrangement is made. There are seven bureaus in the department, each with clearly dedefinate dutes but in all the elaborate legislature creating these bureaus and defining their duties there
 is not word about the duty of keep ing the navy in readiness for war or preparing plans for war OF conducting war after it begins"

 l Prophecy is perilous indulgence and we may reasonably hold that this Ipacihsts pessimistic expectations may be as extreme and improbable as the visionary optimism of those who be Ilieve the present war will end war But if there is any value in experience we must expect after the seismic dis turbances of this war period of un- stable equilibrium in both the interna- tional and domestic spheres. Defeats in foreign wars sometimes brought iabout the downfall of dynastes or forms of government and sometimes they have intrenched authority. Dis turbances of this nature in Europe are not improbable, though they are by no means certain.
 As to international relations wars are likely to remake them radically, weakening one power, strengthing an- other, relieving pressure at one point, increasing it at another.
 In America just now are many men and women who are lightly organiz- ] ing world federations in blissful ignor ance of the staggering complexity of the European problem. Any "educated and pen and ink can work out beauti- fu scheme for universal peace. All that is necessary is to leave out human nature or transform it. But those who 1 have any comprehension of what ciVili- zation in Europe means, it's network of interests, beliefs, traditions. pre- ! judices, do not expect a millennial peace in our days, however anxiously they may hope for a period of compar- ative rest after the exhausting violence of the present struggle-Chicago Tri- bune.

UNION To RETAIN
HEAD Of SCHOOLS
Board of Education Rescinds
Action in AboIishing SuperVis-
ing Principals Position.

After abolishing the office of su-
pervising principal a month ago tie
Union Board of Education last night
rescinded its action and reappointed
Arthur G. Woodfeld to the position.
The members arrived at a decision
t. rescind their action only after a
lcng drawn-out discussion. The vote
was to in favor of continuing the
position.
The supervising principal looks
after the schools in Hillside as we'll
as Union. Part of Hillside was Il
part of Union township.
Norris B. Allen, one of those who
was opposed to Mr.. Woodfeld being
retained, said he had no personal
animosity against Mr.. Woodfield but
took his stand merely on the princi-
pie that the position was not neces-
sary and therefore an extra expense
to the town.
President A. B. Headley was in
favor of retaining Mr.. Woodfield.
"We have three large schools with
fifteen teachers and about 500 chill
dren," he said. These schools are
located in the three sections of the
IOWnSnlp anu l. Jnlnk LtlaL IL Is neCes-
sary for our school system to have a
head. AS Mr.. Woodfleld has always
executed his duties properly I see no
reason for doing away with the posi-
ton"
Those who voted against resembling
action were Morris b. Allen, Carl
Sherf and Charles Riker. Those In
the affirmative were Mr.. Headley,
Robert Bond, Charles Boschen, John
milford, G. Smith and John Meal
lister.

WILL EXAMINE
FRANK LESLIE
Bankrupt May Have to Turn
Over Large Sum to
Trustee.

Frank Leslie, bankrupt builder and
real estate dealer, of 81 Hollywood
avenue, East Orange. will have to
show cause why he should not turn
over $17117S0 to the Trustee of his
bankrupt estate. Referee Edwin G.
Adams today fixed May q as the date
for the hearing.
Edwin r. Semple, trustee for Leslie,
applied for the hearing. He charged
that Leslie had failed to account for
$4,000, although the books and checks
of the various companies he manipu-
lated show all of this money came
into his hands. Nathan II. Berger,
counsel for the trustee, submitted
lengthy petition showing that Leslie's
receipts were S61, ,62024 The dis
bursements. according to Mr.. Berger,
were S44,5O244, leaving a balance of
SIT, 117.S0 not accounted for.
The trustee charged that Leslie had
fraudulently concealed the 1900
worth Of assets from the creditors.
Mr.. Semple's petition concluded with
the application for an order to show
cause compelling Leslie to account fof
the missing sum or return 1t to the
defunct estate.
William L. Brunyate, counsel for
Leslie, filed an answer, denying the
numerous charges made by the trus-
tee. Leslie denied he had employed
dummies for the purpose of incorpor-
ating the New Jersey Construction
Company. He likewise insisted the
company was not his personal asset.
In conclusion, Leslie denied he had
failed to account for $1,000, and asked
that the trustees petition be dis
missed.

MAY PLACE BAN
ON STRAY CATS
Montclair Council Hears Com
plants Regarding Noise of
FeIines During the Night.

At midnight tonight Montclairitea
may be rudeIy awakened by Kisses,
growls. wailings and gnashing OF
teeth. The terrifying sounds will be-
stir the good people like a descent of
Zeppelins but twill not be those
monsters of the air which will be re-
sponsible for the disturbance. In
stead it will be an indignation meet
ing of the feline society of the town.
And small wonder that the felines
will be on the warpath, for be it
known, the news leaked out this
morning that the town fathers took
under advisement last night the mat
ter of establishing a curfew law for
cats.
Could Montclairites interpret the
angry "me-owS" tonight they would
be able to distinguish some big
"Tommie' teaching the felines to re-
cite "CurfeW Shall Not Ring To-
night"
A letter from Frederick X. Vree-
land asked the Town Council of Mont
clair to pass an ordinance providing
for a tax on cats. He claimed that
the homeless cats were responsible for
the spread of disease, and that If
tax was placed on their heads all un-
taxed cats could be destroyed. Coun-
Gilman George e. Barstow wanted 20
know at about what age a cat would
be taxed MY cat has just had five
kittens, and | am interested"
Councilman Walter Kidde said:
This is an important matter, and
believe the council should take some
action leading to the destruction of
stray CATS
Councilman Edward r. Weissenborn
wanted to know at what time curfew
would ring. so that all decent cats
could get to their homes before the
danger of being classed as vagrants.
On Mr.. Kidde's motion the matter
was referred to the franchise commit
tee Councilman John S. Kinnan,
chairman of the committee, declared
he had no time to take up such a
foolish matter and moved that it be
taken from the calendar Cant do
it," said Mayor Harrison, "it has not
been entered on the calendar yet"
"Well, I'll make that motion at the
next meeting of the council" replied
Mr.. Kinnan.
