THE RUDE ANCIENTS

In a few facts brought back by
Prof. Camden NJ. Cobern, an archie
ologist of Pittsburgh, who has been
heard in Washington, those who
wrinkle their brows about modern
problems" should find much COM

o. Henry, and with his curious jux-
Imposition of ideas, the reporters un-
wittingly> string out some of his
findings in this fashion:
, Nero'S palace had three elevators
and the Egyptians knew about hair

THE DARDANELLEs CAMPAIGN

1t begins to be apparent that the
allies campaign against Constanti-
nople is requiring so much time that
it threatens to be a grave intcrfer-
ence with their general plan of cam
paign in the west. 1t is not beyond
possibility that the long struggle
for control of the Dardanelles may
so divide the energies of the western
nations that the war may be pro-
longed for a considerable time after,
otherwise, it would have been fin
ished.
The campaign against Constanti-
nople was naturally and logically a
winter campaign. In the south, it
could be carried on without inter-
ference by weather. The allies could
have used their ships and likewise
their armies in the most effective
manner at the very time when cam
paigning on the more northern
fronts would have been well-nigh
impossible, where in fact it is now
realized that almost nothing was
achieved for several months.
If the campaign at Constantirople
could have been started early in the
winter and won before spring, it
would have been possible to bring
back the armies and the fleet en-
gagged in it, and use them in the
western operations. But instead, the
Dardanelles campaign has moved
slowly. The power of the Turk has
astonished the whole world. The
fortifications of the Hellespont have
won a new fame for that waterway
of ancient legend and modern lore,
They have held back the assaults of
the allies until it is now apparent
that they must either abandon their
attack in that quarter, or else con-
duct two campaigns with a force
that would better be concentrated
in one.
Doubtless the allies have a larger
force on the western front than the
Germans can count there. But il
they are to make their spring and
summer campaign effective, they
will need very great superiority
If it takes a half million men tc
carry on the operations against
| Constantinople, that half million will
require to be subtracted from the
number available for operations
elsewhere. The result may very
conceivably be that the allies will bt
unable to bring to bear their fulles
force on either front. and that as {
result the war may be decided.
heightened. The Turk has PROVED
himself more significant factor il
the situation than anybody coult
have dreamed when he entered it.

British Newspaper
Warns United States
To keep Hands Off,

LONDON, April S.-"Hands off in this

United States and President Wilson

THE WORLD-STRIKE IDEA

The people who are trying to or
ganize a world-labor strike in pro-
test against the war and with the
purpose of tying up industry so that
The war will have to stop from star
walton and paralysis, are getting
things ready for another demonstra-
tion of what fools folks can make of
themselves when they set earnestly
about it. Perhaps gentlemen from
the comfortable viewpoint of Cooper
Union may have an idea that they
have chance to cause the fighting
countries to throw to the winds all
the results Of their sacrifices and
sufferings to date; but when they
get on the job, undertaking actually
to organize any such sedition against
the various governments, they will
be altogether likely to be locked up
as plain nuisances. That is about
what ought to happen.
American agitators will perform
excellent service to their own coun-
try and the world if they will con-
fine their efforts in this matter Ia
platform conversation, and that or
this side of the water. There is nc
reason why any American zealots
should be allowed to start trouble by
carrying such propaganda to Eu.
rope, and conspiring against the Sc,
curity of governments there. 1t is
sheer folly. No government woult
permit any such enterprise to inter
fere with the prosecution of the wal
for a single day. 1t might be neces
sary to use a few regiments to stor
rioting; some industries might bt
placed under direct government con
troll for time; and some meddline
people might get locked up or de
ported; but beyond that, there woult
be no particular results from sucf
a performance. 1t is just the sort o.
half baked sentimentality tina
causes American influence to, be sac
rificed. This country may have some
thing worth while to do with bring
ing peace, and insuring its measur
able permanence; but it will only dis
sipate it's chance for influence b,
such foolish activities as this world
strike propaganda.

CONVINCE JAPAN

Noting the general air of protest,
Japanese in this country are busily
engaged in writing and talking to
show that Japan has nothing TO gain
by attacking the administrative
entity" and the open door in China.
This argument does not necessar-
lily take up much time or space. 1t
is perfectly plain to any casual stu
dent of the situation that the less
political aggression Japan is guilty
of the better her chances are eco
nomically.
Japan is heavily overburdened
with debt. There are taxes and
taxes and taxes of all conceivable
shapes and kinds. The average citi-
zen pays about one-thrd of his
income over to the government. The
rich man pays much higher per-
centage. Banks and bankers and big
business houses are taxed within an
inch of their lives.
Now every Japanese soldier that
sets foot on the soil of China adds
to this burden. Through these sol
diers a few rich men may get con,
cessions that will swell their for
tunes, but Hayashi Oto at work or
his hillside farm will have to worl
just so much harder and pay JUS
so much more taxes to square tn,
bill for the military expedition tha
backed up the concessionaire. Hi
share of the loot is more taxes.
This logic is absolutely fawless
and the Japanese in this country ar
wasting their time convincing u
that these things are so. We admi
it. They should so back and con
vert their countrymen-their coun
trymen who just voted in a nationa
election to back up this policy.
1t was fairly easy for a hig
school student of economies to dem
onstrate that Germany could gai
nothing but debts and financial wo
by drawing the sword against Eu
sane. But Germany drew the swor
