Protecting the Child

GITY and State have taken important steps
~ within the past few days to safeguard
further the health of childhood. Governor
Brumbaugh has signed bill to make every
teacher superintendent or other person an
assistant health officer Director ziegler an
nounces that fifteen nurses have been ap-
pointed to the division of child hygiene and
that by July forty such skilled women will
be ministering to the needs of the children
OF the poor in place OF the meagre eight Of
last summer.
The flrst measure means not only health to
the children but better education. 1t used to
be the fashion to try to pick flaws in Tom
mics statements of how sore his throat was,
and to send him to school to await develop
tpents, Now It is recognized that such Tom
mics are spreading the germs of their illness
among the other children, and creating a
condition in which no child can do intelligent
work. Teachers of today are expected to
save the child and his associates by sending
him home for diagnosis and cure. That Is
sanity.
The wisdom Of Director ziegler's action Is
too obvious to need explanation. 1t means
an honest attempt 20 erase Phiadelphla's
nnenviable record for the third highest in

TT MAY be that in any circumstances the
i President would have become his own
| Secretary OF State in the consideration OF
such important matters as have recently
come to the attention of the Government II
| is apparent nevertheless, that had Mr.
Bryan applied himself to the duties Of his
office Instead OF traipslng about the country
II he had devoted himself to study Of and
preparation for the important duties Of his
position, he would not now be a cipher In
his own department and a mere ornament in
Washington He had no time to make him
self good Secretary Of state and he reaps
the reward that Is inevitable in such cir
cumstances.
There can be no question that Mr.. Bryan
ooaxed the President into the fatal Mexican
no-policy-at-all program The sudden pur-
pose Of Washington to take hold Of the situa-
tlon and master It is evidently a revolt by
the more practical members Of tho Cabinet,
who were wise enough to sec that the coun-
try would not endure longer the wishy-
washy attitude OF Washington. It Is a repu-
dlation Of Bryan and Of the new Bryanism,
which has come to mean in the public mind
sort of 10 to / foreign policy-meanlng Is
Americans against It to every one for It.
There is a rumor that Mr. Bryan will leave
the Cabinet and offer for the Presidency on
prohibition ticket. There Is more smoke than
fire to that; but the nation would not be at
all surprised to learn Of his withdrawal In
the near future He is a man who needs to
be free. and somehow he shows to better ad-
when on the attack than when en-
gagged in defending policies which are in part,

Gigantic Strategy of the War

THE Allies are not merely moving army
i divisions against Germany and Austria
Hungary. They are moving whole nations.
When the psychological moment arrived they
mobilized the Italian armies and hurled them
against the southwestern frontier of Austria,
with the consent Of course of the Italians.
The next move will be not to send Russian
or French troops to attack the eastern from
tier of Austria Hungary. but to call out the
Rumanian troops. thus surrounding the Teu-
tonic allies with wall of hostile nations and
compelling them to defend every frontier.
Never before has such gigantic strategy been
employed in warfare.
After Rumania has moved her armies into
the ield we may expect news that Bulgaria
has Joined the Allies In their attack on Tur-
key, and will march on Adrlanople and
thence advance with the Russians and Brit

Build Shins

T1HE man who has ship to sell today can
i get bigger price for 1t than would have
been offered year ago The London Times
has followed the history OF one ship of 5000
tons. built in 1899, and reports the astound-
ing increase In its market value, In May of
last year 1t was sold for $725OO in August
purchaser paid $4,000 for it, in November It
changed hands for 100000. and early in this
year 1t was sold for $125, 900.
The moral Is obvious The war is destroy
ing ships that are needed in commerce. The
man who has ships to sell when the war is
ended and trade resumes Its normal courses
will reap handsome profit. unless the law
of supply and demand is repealed and the
ordinary course of prices is reversed

A Leash for War Dogs

TN THESE stirring times there ls some
L thing decidedly martial in the news that
Pennsylvania now possesses a law against
unnaturalzed aliens owning dogs. For the
lack Of such far-sghted legislation England
found its German districts, at the outbreak
of war, infested with Teutonic carrier
pigeons ready to wing their way to the
Friedrichstrasse, setting up a disastrous
competition with the normal mall routes II
we are to have trouble with Germany, it will
be a great relief to feel that no alien dachs-
hund may be conveying secret dispatches
down the Delaware and across the Atlantic
to Wlhemshaven. Perhaps the Legislature
and the Governor even suspected a plot to
feed our citizens on poisoned sausage meat
In the event of conflict. No precauton

hastily taken.

have found more plausible and less offensive
disguises for their patriotic act. Why might
1t not be explained as an attempt to put a
premium on naturalization? Or 1t might be
called a measure to simplify the States

dog tax. OF course, If the patriotic zeal Of

Government Displeased

One Of the features of the national welfare
work to which the authorities have made
particular objection is the circulating IL
braries, distributed by private educational
and literary organizations in sympathy with
the revolutionary constitutional and liberal
movements. They have tried TO interfere
with this in many ways, but have thus far
met with little success. In certain place
the censor, ignorant and petty Govern
ment official. conhscated a consignment of
books designed for distribution among the
homes of the community. Upon examina-
tion the books proved to be nothing more
dangerous" than amanacs.
Books on political economic and social
questions are being widely circulated among
the soldiers of the army, particularly among
the half million Russian prisoners in Ger
many and Austria. While it is true that
only small proportion of the soldiers can
read these books. they have no trouble in
getting at their contents through the Rus
sian habit of one person reading to large
crowds.
1t Is reported that at recent session
of the Duma, where a number of lib
eral members have entered interpretations
as to the probability of the enactment
of certain reforms, Mr. Maklakoff, the Min
lister of the Interior, permitted himself the
indiscretion c'indiscreton" they call It now
in Russal of saying that the old order will
remain as It is. 1t took some very insistent
apology on the part of NJ. Goremikin, him
self tool of reactionism, to calm the cry Of
indignation that arose from the seats In
answer TO M. Maklakoffs statement.
One thing Is quite clear. And that ia that

Effect of the War

In the other warning countries. particularly
in Germany and England the war has Gre
ated a condition of virtual State socialism.
What would have been regarded In peace
times as n gross violation of the doctrines
OF indivlduallsm and branded as dangerous
paternallsm became an accepted fact because
of the demands Of national security. Fac
tories, plants, whole industries. have been
seized by the Government, and are run in the
interest of the people as n whole. 1t was
realized at the very beginning of the war
that this was the only way in which the
social organization could be kept intact in
the face Of forces of destruction let loose
all over Europe. But both in England and
In Germany this was brought about as re-
suit of orders from above and occasioned
little, II any, surprise In autocratic Russia
the same transformation took place as n re-
suit OF the initiative from below from the
people themselves,
The Government realized that it could not
fight the war with any hope of success II the
soldiers were to enter the battle saturated
with vodka. The sweeping edct which abol-
ished the vodka traffic may prove to be the
undoing of Russian absolutlsm, though 1t
will offer temporary advantage to the rul-
ing powers.
