CLARK ASKS NATION
TO UPHOLD WILSON
Speaker Declares None Can
Relieve President of His
Burden of Problems.

PHILADELPHIA, March ls.-Unstint-
ed praise for President Wilson and his
labors in connection with the delicate
international situation was voiced here
last night by Speaker Champ Clark in
a speech before the Friendly Sons OF
st. Patrick. The Speaker described Nj,
Wilson as among the great Presidents
whose names can be counted on the
fingers of ono hand"
Referring TO the adjournment of Con
gress, Speaker Clark said the Prcsi-
dent was forced to remain in Wash
ington because of the delicate situa
tion brought about by the European
war and the troubles in Mexico. In
patriotic vein he added:
No man, no mon, can relieve the
President of his burden His troubles,
being purely executive in character
are his and his alone. Every good citi-
zen. without reference to politics or re
lig!on. should trust him and uphold him
In this crisis of our country's fate. May
God give him the wisdom, courage, and
strength to keep US out of cntangle-
mcnts with foreign nations and lead us
in the paths of peace"
Speaker Clark praised the work of the
Democratic Congress and declared the
UnderW ood tariff act was the best tariff
said, was sufficient of itself to make the
bill great one. Business is rcViving
despite the European war, the Speaker
said, and he asserted that depression

A NEEDLESS SLAUGHTER

Perhaps the assurances that the
Prinz Eitel Friedrich will put out to
sea from Hampton Roads as soon as
necessary repairs are complete, is
not to be taken too seriously. The
commander of the Eitel has been re-
markably frank and outspoken in his
promises that he is going back to
the raiding business; and there are
four OF five allies warships outside
the roads waiting for him. Needless
to say, he would have only the most
fantastic chance to escape them.
On the other hand, his assurances
that he intends to make the dash will
serve to keep several enemy ships
on the qui vive off dangerous coast
at stormy time of year. 1t is
some service to neutralize the use
fulness of a squadron of effective
vessels for a series of weeks; and
if that can be accomplished by Sus-
tanning bluff about resuming the
sea raids, it will not he the least
achievement of the Eitels career.
But if it really is the purpose of
Commander Thierichens to take his
The Washington times., 1915-03-18

patched-up vessel out into the At
lantic and attempt to make a run
for il, then il would seem that some
humanitarian method should be de-
vised to dissuade him. The fact that
the resumption of sea raiding by his
vessel is undesirable, is not a factor
in the situation. She is entitled to
receive such repairs as will make her
seaworthy, and to take on enough
supplies and fuel to take her to the
nearest home port. If her govern
ment wants her to take that course
she. will take it; the United States
as neutral cannot interfere by
force.
But is there not some process of
persuasion that could prevent the
Eitel going out, if she really pur-
poses it, to meet certain destruc-
ton? The story of the Alabama
and the Kearsarge comes to mind;
tragedy that at least had the
sportsmanly attraction of being a
duel between two fairly matched
ships. There is no such element of
fairness and sport in the case of the
Eitel. She will go out to be over
matched in power, speed, everything.
Her government should realize it
and not insist on a needless slaugh-
ter merely as an heroic finale to a
splendid adventure. The Eitel and
her crew have done good work for
their government, if not for civiliza
ton and the world. AS war is
waged, she has been success. But
that does not justify a wanton sac
rifice
The Washington times., 1915-03-18

the right TO confscate ship and car
go of any blockade runner. Every
thing was contraband-vessel, and
whatever sort of goods it carried ;
going in. or coming out.
1t Is easy enough to see that such
a rigorous rule could not but scare
the enthusiasm out of the blockade
runner. He stood to lose everything
he risked, in case of capture. Only
the real adventurer, tempted by the
hope of immense profits, would try
to get through such blockade.
On the other hand, the British gov
eminent now proposes that ship and
cargo, if captured running the block
ade, shall be interned till after the
war. The cargo may be comman-
deered for the government making
the capture, and bought by it; OF
the cargo may be sold and the money
interned by the prize court till after
the war. But there is to be no con-
fiscation, save of enemy ships.
The temptation to run this block
ade must obviously be greater than
it was to run the Southern coast
blockade, because the penalties of
failure are so much lighter. The
successful runner makes his huge
profit. The unsuccessful one merely
has his ship and cargo interned dur
ing the rest of the war. 1t might in
many cases, indeed, be a very severe
loss; but in none would it be COM
parable to the penalty of contisca-
ton. Therefore, the more probabil-
ity that efforts at running the cor
don will be made.
1t is as if the town had traffic
regulations against speeding cars. If
the penalty were confiscation of the
car, there would be mighty little
speeding. But if the penalty were
to have the car interned at the po-
lice station overnight, it is quite
conceivable that good many joy
riders would take a chance. They
do, in fact.
The British and French govern
ments have risked the danger Of
their blockade being much less eff
fective, in order to extend the ut
most consideration to neutral COM
merce. That is the long and short
of it. They have made the law of
blockade milder than ever before
while the German government, with
its threat to torpedo neutral ships
and even destroy neutral lives, has
made the law of blockade harder and
more cruel than ever before.

THE NEW CITIZEN

Nearly four thousand newly nat
uralized Americans will be inducted
into citizenship with appropriate
exercises in Philadelphia on April
25. President Wilson, Governor
Brumbaugh, of Pennsylvania, and
Mayor Blankenburg, of the Friendly
City, himself a one-time immigrant,
are expected to participate in the
unique ceremony.
The idea of extending the right
hand of fellowship to those admit
ted into the body of the republic is
so appealing it is a matter for Won
der that it was never done before.
To be able to claim the protection of
the Stars and Stripes, to participate
In the government of America, to
enjoy the liberty that is attendant
upon citizenship in this country is a
privilege vaster by far than any the
proud Roman could boast, and yet it
is free almost for the asking. 1t is
so cheap and the lack of ceremony
accompanying it's getting so COM
plete the new citizen is not always
made conscious of the great respon-
sibilities he has assumed as well as
the great boon he has received. Phil
adelphia, in seeking to remedy this
defect, is setting a good example.
If there were nothing in it except
sentiment, it ought to be emulated.
The Washington times., 1915-03-18
WALKING MACHINES

The New York State department
of health has issued a bulletin say
ing now is the time to take walks in
the open, because at this season OF
the year, after the rigors Of winter,
the body is at it's lowest ebb of eff
cheney and needs upbuilding. There
is nothing wrong with this, except
that every day in the year is the
time to take walks in the open, and
whoever doesn't take that or some
other equally effective exercise is
sighting his body and must pay for
it some day.
What a marvelously effective bit
of mechanism the body is after all!
We gaze in wonder at the latest
thing in printing presses, at the
loom, the cotton gin, the automobile
and a thousand and one intricate,
ingenious, almost uncanny machines
that feel with unerring fingers, that
count, that move through cycle of
motions with. the sureness of fats.
Yet which of them will run and
Jump and swim and then climb a
tree? For all-around efficiency man
has never turned out anything to
equal the perfection of mechanism
which was given to him when he
came into the world.
Yet how many persons are inter-
ested in keeping their machinery
running perfectly?> A man will
jump into his automobile and spin
for fifty miles and he will see to it
that the machine gets there in as
good trim as when it started. But
let him start to walk those fifty
miles, in one day or in two, and
things will happen which no tool kit
can correct; yet it will not occur to
him that he has let his machinery
run down disgracefully.
First his feet will give out. That
will be tire trouble, and he would
not let it happen to his motor car.
Then his breath will give out. That
will be ignition trouble. Then he
will develop aches and pains from
head to toe. That will be transmits
sion trouble.
When a man realizes that he, and
not the doctor round the corner, is
responsible for his physical condi-
ton; when he makes it point to
see that each part of his machinery
is keyed up to do it's appointed thing
perfectly; when he takes proper
pride in the condition of efficiency
to which he has raised it, then that
man is on the road to health and the
highest utilization of the best that
is in him.

SOME ARCHAIC RULES

The need for home for the
feeble-minded in the District has
been widely discussed. 1t remained
for DR.. William A. White, superin-
/ tendent of the Government Hospital
for the Insane, in several recent
talks, notably that before the wom-
ans department of the National
Civic Federation yesterday, to point
out the archaic provision Washing
ton makes for the commitment of its
insane.
The Capital has a plant and every
equipment for the care of these I'M
fortunates in the institution over
which DR.. White presides. But it
places every barrier possible in the
way of those who would take advant-
age of treatment. The mentally af-
f1icted must undergo trial, must be
Charged" and convicted" of in
sanity, and submit to the exact pro-
cedure of criminals. Not many
States any longer have such an ar
rangement. Elsewhere, patients may
apply voluntarily for treatment, or
their friends may do so for them.
Their constitutional rights are pre-
served by the provision that they
may have jury trial, if they wish
it, before commitment.
The result of the restrictions in
Washington is that patients are
sent to the Government Hospital
only as a last resort. in the mean
time they 60 without the attention
which might mean an earlier cure.
They must submit to neglect and
cruelty born Of ignorance of their
condition.
DR.. White recognizes the need for
some provision for the feeble minded
other than the present expensive
process of sending them far away
to institutions. But he would Law
equal stress upon the cases of in
sanity which demand even more i'm
mediate and drastic action. The in
justice to insane persons does not
now end with the long, tedious meth
cd of commitment. When commit
ted they assume the same status as
criminals, and, even after cure has
been effected, must undergo other
legal processes to regain the lost
citizenship. With the splendid hos
pital for the treatment of the men,
tally i'll within the District, it would
seem that the ely could we'll afford
to make access to it as easy as to a
hospital for the treatment of other
forms of disease.

Trench Life Turns Man Into Beast;
1t Is Cheek to Joni With the Dead
Strips Grim War
Of Its Romance

The following is the first of
series of articles by Phil RAIDER,
former United Press corre-
spondent, who since the wars
outbreak, has been serving
with the world-famous For
eign Legion, of the French
army.
After four and half months of
service in the trenches his
regiment, of an original
strength of 1,5OO men, has
been reduced to 1886.
A change in RAIDERS assign
ments, entaining furlough in
London, made possible his
preparation of these articles
the first from a trained Amer
ican newspaper man actually
engaged in the fighting. I'm
this series RAIDER, soldier of
fortune, aviator, and ne~spa-
per man, has drawn such a
picture of the war of 1915 that
the grim profession of arms is
stripped of it's last vestige of
romance.

NEW KINDOF BLOCKADE

The British government has un-
dertaken, out of consideration for
the general commercial interests of
neutral nations, to effect a blockade
of Germany without enforcing the
ordinary penalties of blockade run
ming. 1t may be doubted at the very
start whether such a blockade will
be effective.
If it is effective, it will be so only
because the immense number of war
craft of France and England will be
able to make it literally a physical
impossibility for blockade runner
to get through the Gordon.
There is little about the British
order to frighten away the blockade
runner. He is placed in the position,
so far as non-contraband is con-
cerned, of having very profitable
sale for his cargo if he is lucky
enough to get through and turn it
over to the Germans, and a reason
ably satisfactory sale for it if he is
captured! This is the most re-
markable blockade ever under
taken; and no country would attempt
to make it stick unless very GER
tain that the patrol of the enemy
coast was so complete as to make
infractions practically impossible.
Let this blockade be compared
with that which the United States
maintained on the Southern coast
during the civil war. In that case
the Federal Government maintained
