it been the execution of a man spy,
there would scarcely have been
ripple of criticism. Miss Cavill,
with apparent cheerfulness even, adj
mitted her guilt readily, which meant
in German eyes that she had violated
German law of war. The fact that
as nurse she had cared for German
wounded with the same impartial
touch of humanity, only embarrassed
the situation. She had aided living
enemies of Germany-had sheltered
them and given them financial aid in
getting back to the lines of the
Allies where they could again become
factors against Germany. Call the
act what one will, it will always re-
main a barbarism, regardless of it's
legality" What other nations might
have done in like circumstances
amounts to little now. The execu-
ton of the English nurse reflects
little credit upon her trial judge,
though he, too, might have come
under the savage criticism of his gov
eminent, had he shown leniency to
a proven spy. A spy is a spy, sex
not considered.
The American press has censured
the execution of this young woman
who is declared by German priest
to have died like a heroine. In all
probability the act will be regarded
as stain upon Germany, but in
simple justice let it be said that no
one knows what any other country
would have done with female spy
At least it maybe said that woman
so loyal and self-sacrificing deserved
a better fate. She will be immortal
lied by England because she died
serving her country. And she served
it WELL

The Coming Congress.

The coming session of congress
promises to be one of the most in
teresting, and perhaps one of the
storniest in the history of the coun-
try. President Wilson has number
of bills on his mind, the chief of
which is national defense.
Just how far he is committed
to the great expenditures that
are daily discussed in the public
prints there is no way of guessing
at this time. 1t is safe to say, how
every, that he is not going to let the
clamor run away with his desires,
and the chances are that he will put
in plan that will call for an ade-
quate defensive system and not too
costly or extravagant one.
Of one thing the country may be
sure, and that is that the main part
of any defense plan will relate to
the navy, with army plans secondary.
This seems to be the logical sugges-
ton. America is reasonably safe on
land, if only the country is amply
protected along its shores. 1t is GO
ing to be no easy task, however, to
plan a naval defense that would be
able to drive away the worlds
navics. That is not what is wanted
or expected. England, with all her
great sea power, would not be able
to withstand the navies of all coun-
tries, unless her coasts were either
mined or protected with large num-
Der of submarines. This latter we
shall have, in addition to a proper
line of battle ships and modern
cruisers of the battleship type,
armored and equipped with every de-
vice for giving chase or battle. This
is the demand, and no doubt Presi-
dent Wilson will furnish ample
proof of his recent statements about
his America First" ideals.
AS for other national legislation,
the tariff is also liable to come in
for fair amount of action, with
possible changes that may seem
more or less radical. But that the
President contemplates making any,
thing like wholesale tariff reduc-
tions, is not believed or looked for.
President Wilson may be expected to
carry on the government with the
same able guidance that has char
acterized his administration to date.
Only ultra partisan critics have
found fault with him. The great
rank and file of the people are for
Wilson as they have not been for
any other President in many, many
years.

A Local StraU.

Whilst "The Palisadian" has re-
Trained from editorial comment on a
local campaign since the nominations
were made, it has really had very
decided opinions, which no doubt
have been surmised. At the same
time, in justice to the facts of the
case, there really has been no ex-
pressed views on our part as to a
choice between candidates. Beyond
regretting, and saying SO, that bit
ter personalities have been intro
duced, there has not been one word
of commentator or comment in be-
half of any candidate.
But there has been several evil
dences that have come to US that
we have been severely censured be-
caused we did not openly declare for
the Palisade candidate, Hon. Edward
A. White. Those Palisade leaders
who have believed that the editor
stood alone in his attitude of neu-
trality, will, no doubt, be somewhat
taken aback when they read in this
issue, some rather caustic remarks
by our fellow townsman, E. Yancey
Cohen. Mr.. Cohen was "The Pail
sadian's" candidate, because as a
man he possesses more genuine quail
fications for the Office than any. man
in the entire borough, and this is
said not at all in disparagement of
either Of the two gentlemen who are
now fighting it out in very warm
debate through the public prints. Mr..
Cohen was not considered by either
party in the nominations, but he has
now come forward and given express
sion to some views that are both
drastic and to the point. We sug-
gest to those Palisadians who have
followed one side of this important
issue all too blindly, that they read
and digest what Mr.. Cohen says. 1t
may open their eyes to the fact that
there are always two ways to look
at anything-and, also, that there
are more ways than one of killing a
cat.

The japanese Again.

The New York American was out
last week, Thursday, in a full page
editorial in which it discussed the
introduction of Japanese soldiers by
the Allies in the European war. This
editorial was no doubt written or in
spired by w. R. Hearst. He under
takes to prove that it will be fatal
day when the Japanese go into the
European continent for this war or
any other, and predicts the most har-
rowing consequences of the Yellow
Peril, if it should come about. 1t is
a question if there is any foundation
whatever for the rumor in the first
place that Japanese soldiers are 60
ing to be sent to the front in Europe.
There are some things the japanese
do not want, and sending million
men to Europe is not one of them.
Besides, if they were to go to
Europe, they would not remain after
the end of the war. The time has
not yet arrived when the Yellow
Peril is ready for the fulfilment of
the Hearst prophecy. The million
men sent by Japan might remain in
Europe, and it would still be the
most improbable thing in the world
that Japan would want to invade
Europe.
The chances are that Mr.. Hearst is
again playing sides in this war. His
sympathies have never been with the
Allies, but he need have no fears
about swarms of Japanese being
sent to Europe now. But even if
million, or two million were to fight
against Germany, they would find
that country still unconquered, and
perhaps unconquerable. Those who
have watched Germany from afar
have foreseen her almost impregnable
position in this war. Her resources
must be tremendous for her to have
withstood the avalanches that have
bCCu I'LL OWH against IoT. one is NOT
whipped yet by long shot, and is
not likely to be for many moons to
come. England has yet to put many
more millions of men in the field.
But when one analyses the popula-
tions of Germany and Austria against
England and France, there are 49,
100000 to pit against SOOOO,OOO.
Germany has almost as many more
people than England and France as
France has altogether-perhaps as
many.
This is why the war is not vet
ended. When you face the colossal
facts of the German cause, you have
to realize that it is no easy Job to
put her down. If Germany possessed
not another point of recommendation,
she is still the greatest fighting unit
of all time.
1t looks as if Mr.. Hearst had an
other guess coming on the Japanese
scare.

from which the mind shrinks. In
vention in Mexico would have re-
leased unappraisable forces in our
future national growth. Yet war
with Germany was at one time not
impossible, and intervention in Mex
leo was a program seriously advo-
Gated. Both have been happily
averted, and the tone of the press
and the country is one of matter
of-course. There is hardly an echo
in the press of our controversy with
Berlin, and as for Mexico, arms en-
barge follows upon recognition of
Carranza, and bankers loans follow
upon arms embargo, to the quick
obliteration of the memory of five
years of severe tension across the
Rio Grande. Either issue, Germany
or Mexico, was of sufficient import
ance to make or unmake the fortunes
of an Administration, yet the coun-
try hardly seems to be aware that
within the space of less than two
months the Wilson Administration
has disposed, to it's own credit and
prestige, of two great questions on
which the outcome in November, 1916,
might easily have depended. For the
moment the Presidents opponents
are apparently reduced to capitalize
ing the staggering" blow to Will
sons perstige which New Jersey de-
livered on Tuesday of last week in
defeating the suffrage amendment.

Foolish Man.

An esteemed subscriber to "The
Palisadian" has telephoned a can
collation. of his subscription. Foolish
man. He does not know what he is
doing. We opine he is one of the
chronic grumblers found in every
community, who, having chronic
crouch, believes in asserting him
self in drastic manner, and has
taken this occasion to discipline the
editor for some imaginary wrong
this newspaper has done that CRATES
on his nerves. Or, perhaps, his is
a sensitive nature, and he believes
that a newspaper should kowtow to
an element of the community that has
never agreed with it's honest pur-
poses on public matters. In the lat
ter event, his action is one of abso-
lutte treason to the principles of the
American Constitution, which gives
every man the right of free speech
and opinion. No subscriber who
amounts to even a little should ever
arrogate to himself such supreme i'm
portance. He cuts a sorry figure.
For his information and guidance, it
may be restated here, that this news
paper stands for truth and honesty
of principle, as against bunk and
humbuggery. 1t has always assert
ed itself fearlessly, and will continue
to do so.
There is, of course, another way
of looking at this matter. 1t presents
an interesting situation. If, for in
stance, this subscriber were to put
himself in our place, he might think
it strange for us to give up reading
his paper merely because he chose
to have opinions that differed from
our own. For ourselves, we hope
never to stoop to such illiberal levels.
They indicate lack of courage, a
lack of liberality, and lack of broad
ness. The narrow person is never
admirable. 1t is all very we'll to have
views of ones own. All men should
cultivate this spirit. But to have
opinions, and then say that because
an editor has views that we cannot
subscribe to, we will stop reading
his paper, is exhibiting feeling both
unfair and morally unsound. But there
are men who do these petty things,
as in the instance of the man who
has stopped his paper. We want to
say to the gentleman in question
that we have not the slightest feel
ing in the world over his leaving our
charmed circle of readers. Perhaps
he will reconsider, and should his
pride revolt at admitting his error,
he still has the newsstands at which
he may purchase single copies each

Gather Some Nuts And

The most valuable land in the
world is in the Sahara Desert. This
great land value comes because man
has there utilized the productive

don't we have them?? Merely be-
cause we haven't noticed and haven't

cause somebody took pains to tell
about the original good wild tree

The Local Election.

The present campaign for local
officers in the Borough of Fort Lee
has been marked by much bitterness,
rancor, and personal abuse. The two
candidates for mayor in their efforts
to prove their individual fitness have
said many things that have left a
sting and caused feeling.
1t is always regrettable that feel
ing should exhibit itself in any kind
of an election, but when one side
provokes another by charges it is no
more than natural that the counter
charge should be made. Some of
those prominent in the campaign
have taken themselves quite serious
ly-too much so, in fact, and made
mountains out of molehills in some
instances.
If we look around us in the neigh
boring boroughs we find little of the
thunder of personal abuse. The
campaigns are generally along party
lines and mud-slinging is not con-
sidered.
1t should be easy enough to argue
out any question in a friendly way.
Even the question of efficiency could
be discussed in an orderly manner.
