there is any such trouble as hay
fever? Nobody ever gets it unless
he can afford it, like yacht, or an
imported car. We may aspire to il;
but until we get the price we can't
have it. Most people can't afford
it, therefore they console themselves
with the conviction that it just
amt.
Hay fever will one day be recog-
nized as the original pretext that in
oculated the American public with
the germ Of the disastrous vacation
habit. It hss done more harm than
miiitarism, caused the world more
loss than Economic Wsste; its pro-
fession involves more intellectual
degradation than that of diplomacy.
It's victims want nothing 80 much as
excuse for spending August in the
mountains or at the seashore; and
nobody with a shred Of intellectual
integrity believes there is anything
more substantial to it than this.
At least, not until the luckless
moment when he gets a noseful Of
the right kind Of pollen and. begins
to weep.

A NEW HAY FEVER HORROR

A man who lives on Long Island,
which is only a professional suburb
anyhow, announces that he has dis
covered a cure for hay fever. He
admits that he is not member of
the United States Hay Fever Asso-
citation, and his utterly discreditable
performance makes that admission
unnecessary. He says that if you
have hay fever, you need only
take a huge pinch of Copenhagen
snuff, and the first explosion will
drive the hay fever out of you.
This intrusion of a silly idea is tc
be forwarded to the U. S. H. F. A
at it's annual meeting, which thi.
year will be held at Lake Placid, N
Y. We have no doubt it will be re-
ceived with the contempt it deserves
The Long Island person ought t.
understand that the Hay Fever AS
sociation doesn't want to find rem
edies. 1t wants to go on enjoying
hay fever. A pinch of snuff PEE
capita might wreck that distin
guished and exclusive organization
which gets a vacation per annun
out of the perpetuation of tn
strange and unaccountable theor.
that there is such a thing as ha!
fever.

FRYE CASE QUIBBLIN0

On the official text Of the Berlin
Frye note, now made public, there Is
little for this paper to say that it
has not said before. Yet there seems
need to repeat 1t. As strongly as
we have had to differ with the Ger
man government on 50 many Of its
war policies and practices, we should
not be honest if we did not speak out
with equal frankness and emphasis
when we believe the German gov
eminent is right.
The Berlin forAign Office. could
not concede our State Departments
contention that German submarines
have no right under any circum-
stances to destroy an American YES
sci, though carrying contraband to
an enemy, without abdicating its
nations fundamental right to stop
the delivery of contraband wher-
ever and whenever it can.
1t Is not common sense to think,
it is not fair dealing to insist, that
our treaty with Germany obligates
her to permit our merchant vessels
to deliver without interference con.
traband to an enemy right under he,
nose when nothing Of the kind /,
compelled from any other belliger.
ent or permitted to any other neu.
trail, when nothing Of the kind wa.
ever before dreamed Of in all inter.
national agreements and intercourse
Under no circumstances must W.
countenance submarine warfare BY
Germany in violation Of the laws OF
nations and the covenants of hu.
manity. Under no circumstances
must we tolerate wanton destruction
of American merchantmen and de.
liberste slaughter of American lives
But we cannot reasonably or justly
protest submarine warfare when /,
is conducted properly. We canno,
deny the right of Germany to pre-.
vent, by the proper use Of her sub.
marines as Of other military
agencies, the delivery Of contrabsnc
to an enemy. To do this has beer
the indisputable right Of nation.
through all civilization. 1t has beer
just as much their right, when tn.
safety Of their own war vessels o.
other necessity compelled such &C
ton, to destroy contraband cargoe,
and ships carrying them, subject t.
their liability to make suitable rep
aration.
Unless we are very much mis-
taken about the American people,
love Of fair play, whatever the.
think of the way in which German.
has been making war, they will hav'
none Of technical hairsplitting in tn,
Frye case.

such. a large group of msn, some
abuses should not creep in from time
tv time, and the dissensions and dis
organization Of the force prior to
the appointment Of the present su-
perintendent offered ripe field for
the cultivation of petty politics.
The names Of some men have be-
come connected with high-handed
and irregular. practices. Many Of
the charges lack the definiteness
that would warrant investigation by
a superior officer. But the probe by
the District Attorneys Office, which
can be accused Of harboring no
grudge, should settle the status Of
men who have been talked about.

THE POLICE PROBE

The investigation Of the conduct
of certain policemen by the United
States District Attorney will be no
less welcome to the majority Of the
force than to the public at large.
Washington has prided itself that
it's police force was far removed
from the graft and corruption that
hampered departments in other
cities, notably New York. But in
recent months there have been whis-
perings, and some complaints made
openly, that certain persons were ia
vored, and that favoritism. if not
open graft, was practiced by a few
men on the force.
1t is small wonder that. among

ITALY ASKS A LOAN

Italy, it is reported in New York,
will ask q loan of $50,000,000 in the
American market. It will be a
measure for the protection of Ital-
ian credit on this side, where Italy
is buying vast quantities Of war
supplies as are all the other warning
governments that can get them out.
It is not to be assumed that Italy
Is showing any special economic
weakness because she is borrowing
American money thus early after
her entrance into the war. Italy
was near year behind the other
nations in beginning hostilities; but
not in spending money on war. She
was wiser than the United States has
been thus far, in that she improved
each shining hour getting ready for
eventualities. She mobilized her
army, perfected its training, stored
away vast amounts Of ammunition
and supplies, organized her finances
to withstand the strain. These things
cost money; but the expenditure has
been amply justified by the sue
cesses that have attended the Ital-
ian campaign thus far.
The beginning of the wars second
year sees every probability that the
demands on the United States will
be greater than ever. The Euro
pean countries will take more and
more munitions, just as fast as the
United States can create facilities to
produce them; and there will be in
creasing need for credit with which
to pay for them. No prospect of a
slackening demand is in sight. The
war looks longer now than it did on
it's opening day. The one reservoir
of credit, as we'll as Of munitions, to
which the nations may turn, is the
United States. Small wonder that
We face prospects that every dollar
that we can safely extend to then,
will be asked by the powers; not tc
be exported in cash, but to enable
them to buy our supplies.

for action; already we have had too
much talk. We cannot be longer de-
pendent on foreign fags. It is not safe
to do SO. We need American ships not
only for the expansion OF our COM
merce, but we imperatively require them
as auxiliaries for our navy.

suitable naval auxiliaries Is rendered
helpless for offensive operations at any

creation of an adequate feet Of naval

THE "MIDDLR.A0ED" PERSON

On the authority Of the National
Association Of Dancing Masters it is
announced that the steps Of the new

the difficult steps will be as rare at

difficult for the middle-aged person
to learn"
Thus the dancing masters pro-
claim. We should like to ask, by
what authority? What do the dan

BOGUS LABOR" GROUPS

President Samuel Gompers, Of the
American Federation Of Labor, has
- way Of forbidding all sorts of
organizations with Interior motives
from using the designation "labor"
In their titles. But in a letter to
the Central Federated Union, Of
New York, he made it clear that
organized labor will not hesitate to
repudiate bogus groups that en-
deavor to win prestige by holding
themselves out as bona fide labor
organizations.
! Members Of the federation, Of
course, are not fooled by specious
titles, but it behooves the public to
be careful about letting sympathies
run toward every movement that
happens to assume the labor desig-
nation. The body that styles itself
"Labor's National Peace Council" I"
and, in its printed literature, clever
ly includes several resolutions ,pass-
cd by tho American Federation Of
Labor, Is only, one of many illustra-
tions. This organization was re-
pudiated by officers Of the fedora
ton, and the closest examination of
its operations cannot determine that
it has anything to do with labor.
It is just as well to be careful
about other organizations, under the
guise Of labor bodies, that prate
loudly about peace, and the prohi-
bition of munitions shipments
abroad. The African in the wood
pile, in these instances, is nearly al
ways the same. German money is
pretty sure to be back of such in
genuous appeals for this sort Of
"peace." 1t is the same influence
that did not hesitate to endeavor to
incite strikes among longshoremen,
and there still is a suspicion that
German agents have been pretty
busy among machinists and metal
trades workers.
