The Washington times., 1915-04-01

to the post-Bismarckian period is
that from recognition of this axiom
to its rejection. We may grant that
growth in population, industrial ad-
vancement and maritime commerce,
together with lack of opportunity for
colonial expansion, have produced
since 1889 conditions that Bismarck
did not have to meet. His was the
age of consolidation, not of growth.
But the process of consolidation of
Germany into a virile empire had
much more of threat to Europe in it,
and had to be engineered more skill
fully to avoid awakening fear and
antagonism, than has commercial
growth. 1t is enough to say that
he utterly destroyed the balance OF
power without provoking war. The
present conflict, if its cause be found
in the Balkans, was due to mere
disturbance of the balance. When
the one was bloodlessly and almost
unconsciously survived and the other
brings about the worst war in his
tory, we may not believe that the
presence or absence of master dip
lomat had nothing to do with the re-
suit, or that a Bismarck would have
permitted the history of the past
twenty-five years to be made.
The evidence of the Franco-Prus-
sian war is sufficient commentary
on the value Of contemporary opinien
as to the causes Of conflict. What
the verdict of posterity concerning
the responsibility for this war will
be, we may not say. But we may
certainly hold that if Germany was
determined to fight, Bismarck would
have seen to it that before she en-.
tered the engagement the worlds
sympathy had been won. If con-
temporary opinion is now in error,
the Emperor and his military ad-
visers must thank themselves; in
deed, the brusqueness OF their dl-
plomacy, their impetuosity TO get the
first advantage in conflict, must rem
der even the important work of the
future analyst far more difficult. If
the wars cause was actually far
more subtle than our present knowl-
edge makes it appear, then Germany
has obscured it. A Bismarck, if the
allies are in the wrong, would have
had his case proved before war be-
gan. The Emperor, to say the most
for him, has left to be decided only
an academic question as to whether
or no war was inevitable before he
began it.

EXPERTS EVOLVING
MILITARY POLICY
Secretary Garrison Declares
General Staff Is Working for
Comprehensive Legislation.

The whole question Of the military
policy OF the United States Is being
studied anew. according to a state
ment OF Secretary OF War Garrison.
Under him the general staff Is trying
to evolve a statement OF policy with
view to comprehensive legislation
by Congress.
Secretary Garrison said that while
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the
Senate Military Committee. believed
a single hill would be more likely TO
get results than a series of bills.
there had been no disagreement as to
u policy.
The Secretary said that he was
working with a view to unifying fn-
ture efforts for military preparedness.
Both with respect to coast defense
and the mobile army a thorough
study or 'restudy" is being made.

Ex-President Gomez of Cuba Not

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Dear Sir: Some time ago I read in
one of the papers of this country an
article to the effect that ex-President
Jose Miguel Gomez. of Cuba, was form
Ing an independent party of his own.
This is absolutely untrue. Ex-Presfdent
Gomez is and always has been a Lib
eral' (of the Liberal party.
lie labors for the Liberal party: all
his very thoughts are centered on the
LIBERAL party, and, therefore, II stands
10 reason, 1t is but logical, to suppose
that he is Liberal. heart and soul.
The Liberal party has democratic
ideals; 1t is the most popular political
organization of Cuba. 1t desires that
love, friendship. and hope may reign
supreme. Its motto is Peace and Pros
perity for the Cuban People,
In conclusion, I will say that /ex-
President Jose Miguel Gomez Will
again become chief executive of Cuba,
not because he is seeking the Presidency
to satisfy personal ambitions. but srmp-
ly because the Liberal party of Cuba
wants him-needs him-because his
countrymen politically speaking, ap-
prove everything he does. think his
thoughts. JORGE GODOY.

THE CHILD UNDER FIVE

Less than a week ago DR.. w. G.
Woodward, speaking at Lenten
conference of the Associated Chari-
ties, outlined the care community
exercises for individuals from birth
to death, with the singular exception
of a period between the time child
is one year old and the age to start
school.
Birth registration is followed by
visits of nurses in some cities, by
sending literature to mothers in
others, and suggestions are made
about the prevention of infantile dis
eases. Then the, public health
agency's interest in the child grows
lukewarm until it enters school and
comes under all manner Of inspec-
tions by city physicians, school
nurses, teachers instructed in. ply
siological care, and physical culture
experts.
Curiously enough, on the heels of
DR.. Woodward's pertinent comment
upon this point, comes a bulletin Of
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton, which points to the same lapse
in care of children. And this bull
letin, quoting DR.. David Forsyth, an
English child specialist, emphasizes
the special dangers of neglecting
children at this important period of
childhood.
Large numbers of children, this
physician asserts, healthy at birth,
become within five years physically
defective, and thus give rise to the
growing need for special schools for
children who either are physically or
mentally subnormal. Then, at a
heavy cost to the community, every
effort is expended to bring these chill
dren back to the norm of good health
and clear minds.
Those who study health problems
Of communities would do we'll to
consider any plan suggested for the
correction of this lapse in attention
to children. DR.. Forsyth suggests
periodical medical inspection of all
children in a community, by physi-
clans employed upon similar terms
as those who look after the health of
school children. This is not so revo-
lutionary an idea, and it is conceived
that the money expended on this
preventive might save larger sums
now expended upon curative meth
DDS later in the child's life.
The Washington times., 1915-04-01
AMERICAN JUDAISM

Israel in it's religious devotions
this week has reflected upon the
labors of the late Rev. DR.. Isaac M.
Wise, founder Of the Hebrew Union
College and of Reform Judaism in
America, and a movement has been
started to celebrate fittingly the
centenary of his birth on March 20,
1919. The Rev. DR.. Joseph Silver
man, of Temple EMANUEL, New
York, proposes that a million dol
lars be raised as an Isaac M. Wise
memorial fund to endowl the Hebrew
Union College and other activities Of
the Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations, which was organized by
DR.. Wise.
Although DR.. Wise did not come
to this country until 1846, it has
been said that he was an American
in heart before he left Bohemia. He
felt the necessity Of leaving that
country when he was arrested for
preaching a sermon from the text,
"And Abraham bowed down to the
people of the land" which he inter-
preted to mean that the will of all,
not one, should prevail.
He was an ardent believer in self
government, maintaining that all
men should be politically free and
equal; he opposed all aristocratic
pretense, favored the secularization
of the public schools, and was un-
compromisingly hostile to church
and state union. He had not re-
sided in America long before he
espoused the cause of the abolition
lists. His Americanism grew apace,
until it was said of him that "he
had two banners which were inter-
twined in his nature-the flag and
the scroll; two books that were
sacred-the Bible and the United
States Constitution; two realities
that he loved intensely-his God and
his country"
The life and character of DR.. Wise
exemplified the highest that is
achieved in patriotic endeavor, and
his works entitle him to lasting
honor. 1t might be said that he was
the physical expression of the ideal
of American Israel, and certain it is
that his life was both model and an
inspiration.
The very causes that led him to
leave his native land very soon will
be impelling others of his race in the
Old World to seek new homes in
this country of peace and promise
And almost the first lesson in Amer
icanism they will receive will be the
story of the life of DIR. Wise.

THE BISMARCK CENTENARY

Not for long has the centenary Of
one of history's leading characters
fallen so conspicuously at a time
when his works apd their result were
in the testing pot as does this of
Bismarck's. He was born 100 years
ago tomorrow; his work was to build
a nation, and now, with but little
paraphrase of another \ masters
words, "the world is engaged in
great war, testing whether that ma
ton, or any nation so conceived and
so dedicated to blood and iron, can
long endure"
Nevertheless, the quotation is not
fair. Germany became a first-class
power by war, it is true. Whether
she shall be brought down to second,
or even third class, by war is on the
knees of the gods. The test is rather
whether the present emergency
would have been upon her had Bis
marck continued in power or had
the policies by which Bismarck built
her and strengthened her in the first
years of her existence been retained.
We-may conceive that only by the
military process which Bismarck fol-
lowed could Germany, and such a
Germany as he wished, be evolved
from the mass of petty, misgovern-
ed, jealous states which he finally
brought to the point of federation.
The Austrian war of 1866 was an
absolute essential to his plan, for the
hegemony that Austria held over the
Teutonic states, while undoubted,
was not of the kind calculated to in
spire great nationalistic enthusi-
asm. 1t had to be taken from her.
A war with France had to be fought
to kipdle the enthusiasm. If Bis
marck's faith is summed up in the
result of the two, his methods are
summed up in the fact that a decade
and more went by before the world
understood that the Franco Prussian
war was German undertaking, and
not a mere political expedient of the
imperialistic party in France to
counteract growing movement to-
ward republicanism. In 1870 France
was the militaristic nation of Eu-
rope. Bismarck knew how to capi-
talize that fact, and to gain for his
empire, even before it was born, the
worlds sympathy. His victory was
far more diplomatic than military;
roughshod though he seemed tc
move, he was the master of all the
chancelleries in the subtleties of di,
plomacy, and with a much clearer
perception of the fact that in al
successful international relations di,
plomacy comes first and imperial
ambition, strategy, military power
prestige, trail along in the distant
rear.

RUINOUS REGULATIONS

A few years ago the country got
afflicted with curious notion that
cold storage of food products was
being employed as an assistant to
monopoly, and that storage must be
either regulated or ended. A big in.
vestigation was held by Congress
sional committee, resulting in no
legislation, but in a report that de-
veloped much useful information on
the subject. In some communities
there was not so much luck. Penn
sylvania's legislature passed a rigor-
Gus regulatory law, among other
things strictly limiting the periods
that various commodities might be
kept in cold storage. 1t was done
largely on the plea of protecting the
public health, but the real reason
was to prevent monopolization in
storage.
Now the Pennsylvania legislature
is repeating that law; one house has
voted for the repeal measure, and
it is as good as certain the other
will do the same. Experience has
proved that the law was just merely
silly. There were no grave cold
storage evils to be dealt with; the
evils were imaginary, while the
benefits of cold storage were gener-
ally not at all appreciated or under
stood by the public. Clamor and sus-
picion caused the regulation meas
ure to pass. Now it is testified by
all kinds of interests, that the regu-
lation hurt business in the State, in
jured the consumer, deprived the
general public of the full measure of
price-moderation that cold storage
can insure if it is not unreasonable
hampered-in short, that the law
was excuseless and mischievous. 1t
will be wiped off the books, in all
probability, and one more half-baked
experiment ended without doing anv
permanent damage.
