especially since II has constantly

seems TO be justified by this remark
Of Professor SEpawIcK:

GEN. HUERTAv ARREST.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-Str! VIII
THE SUN shed a few enlightening rays
on q subject w11ich Is the cause OF
much perplexfty to many persons?
On what theory Of law and In ac-
cordance with what statute was Gen.
eral Huerta arrested2 And why Is ne
held so long without trial? What
charge has ever been brought against
him to Justify the arrestf II any such
charge has ever been alleged am not
the only newspaper reader VINO has failed
to learn Of Il.
1t Is generally understood that Presi-
dent Wilson considers him murderer
but II does not appear that he ever CON-
mitted murder in the United states or
that Mexico has ever demanded his ex-
tradition on the charge OF murder or on
any other charge. II. then, he be not
held as a murderer, what offence has ne
ever committed against the laws or TINS
country? II can hardly be that he Is
held BY the United States authorities
on any charge Of having misbehaved
himself in Mexico
II is true that at one time me neg
lected 60 salute the nag OF our country
oven after having promised TO do so In
compliance with Mr. Wilson's peremptory
demand, and apparently In dread OF the
fulflment OF Mr.. Wilson's threats.
But. although Mr.. Wilson went so far
as to send an armed force to Vera Cruz
for the avowed purpose OF executing
those threats, he afterward changed his
mind and withdrew that force without
further action in the matter so that II
is not unreasonable to suppose that he
forgot or condoned the insult which so
stirred him originally. And at that time
Huerta was still In power in Mexico.
II looks therefore to q man up a tree

held for political reasons or in Difference
to Mr.. Wilson's personal prejudice
against him.
Now that prejudice may or may not
be well founded. But since when has Il
been the practice Of this country TO hold
individuals as prisoners because the
President dislikes them?
And II he he held as a political pris-
oner, since when has the United States
adopted the practice of arresting people
specific charges OF msbehavior? What
law sanctions that proceeding?
Mr.. Wilson has recently been greatly
acclaimed as master OF diplomacy be-
cause Germany. by way OF reply to his
protests. has promised to discontinue
killing American citizens and to pay a
money indemnity for some specified few
OF those whom she has already killed
Surely so great diplomat ought 10 be
able to find some better way of dispos-

them as prisoners OF state.

The New Alliance Against the
OdiOus Hyphen.

The President Of the United States,
IN his patriotic speech to the Daugh.
tiers OF the Revolution at Washing
ton. anticipated by about twenty.
four hours the true inwa rdness Of the
equally remarkable and equally patr1-
otic address which former President
Of the United States delivered last
evening to the knights Of Columbus in
Carnegie Hall.
Allowing for non-essential differ
ences of temperament. mentality, rhe-
torical method and other particulars
OF idiosyncrasy. the attitude OF Presi-
dent WILSON toward hyphenated citi-
kenship Is precisely that Of his dis
tnguished predecessor, Colonel RoosE.
WELT; and the attitude Of President
WILSON and Colonel ROOSEVELT, we
are glad to add. is precisely that
which THE SUN has held since the
first appearance in American life and
thought Of this ugly monster Of dual
nationality, divided allegiance and b.
furca,ed patriotism.
America first, no matter what the
natural sympathy! says President
WILSON in his manner Of speech. Amer
;ca first, man has only one country
says ex.Prcsldent ROOSEVELT. In his
characteristic fashion. America first
and always first. THE Sun says in
hearty accord with its eminent CO.
propagandists.
Read Colonel RoosEvFLr's admirable
remarks on the duty Of every natural
lied American citizen to the flag which
he has chosen as his own.
How delighted, by the way. the for
mcr President must have been TO dis
cover, even before he had pronounced
his own written words on hyphen-
ated citizenship. that Mr.. WILSON wa s
with him and even a little ahead Of
him in the uttcrance. and that there
was TO he no issue between himself
and the present Administration on this
great subject!

ambitious plans for the government in

hopes to build one of the new dread q.
noughts Congress may authorize next

The new battleships Arizona and
California are also achievements of
government employees at the Brooklyn
yard. Submarines are also being built
in the governments own yards, as

"Construction of ships in navy
yards justifies an enlargement of that
policy" says Secretary Daniels. at

an unwise system of accounting. over
head charges, in nowise properly
chargeable against new construction,

Secretary Daniels said his plans did

to those of foreign nations. He mere

While they were taking their ease ON

the farmers explained that they had
