Sick Horse Craftsmanship.

IRON Tic PhHadcphia Eucrirg Ledgerl
Congress stumbles along like sick horse.
The word Immediate" has come to have a
new meaning in recent days, and prepared
ness, too, has lost its old definition To pre-
pare used to mean TO prepare. Now it seems
to mean TO postpone, TO put off until to-mor-
row. TO talk, to buster, to hesitate, to DO
nothing.
If the country is in danger from foreign
aggression it is in danger now. not ten years
from now. TO prepare for something that
may happen in 1926 is not in the present world
crisis to prepare at all II is fact that the
kind of preparedness which is being dis
cussed at Washington is actually not pre-
paredness II is a wretched unnamed thing,
for which no responsible statesman in any
other country Of the world would dare 70
stand. il is as a result Of the conflict in
Europe that we are going TO have war j. we
have war at all. and half the reason for de-
fence depends absolutely on arranging for 1t
in hurry. II is a shame and humiliation
that private citizens should be compelled TO
organize brieadcs OF their own and collect
money by popular subscription in order that
some sort OF military power may be born in
the nation. This country is the wcalthicst
on earth the richest that has ever existed
on the earth, yet men must beg for an army.
Their government will not give it 20 them.

The Red Cross is the frst-line army Of

in war or peace. It's doctors and
nurses and supply agents 20 to the front
wherever there is need-to the battlefield.

they must depend for support on the body
of members back home.
Americas Red Cross members number
27 900. Japan's number 100000.
The Red Cross in the United States is
making a campaign for increased member
ship. There seems to be no reason why
this great nation should not furnish at
least one million persons willing to pay 81
a year for the privilege of being numbered
among the supporters of this splendid or
ganization, with its magnificent record of
accomplishment. Such work is needed
whether America. whether the world, be al
peace or war. This country does not lag
behind any other in the world in respond
ing TO appeals for aid. 1t should not oc-
cupy a subordinate place in maintaining
the organization through which such aid is
usually distributed.

The Progress Of Women's Clubs.

The nationwide federation of womens
clubs, whose thirteenth biennial meeting
is now being held in the city, makes one
of the gatherings to be taken into &C
count in this year of national conventions.
The patronizing attitude toward women'a
clubs has gone the way Of the earlier dis
position to speak Of the clubwoman with
mild cynicism. To-day the Federated
Women's Clubs are recognized as an
American institution. They have taken
their place among the working social
forces of the nation.
Everywhere, in city and village and
rural neighborhood, organized groups Of
mentally alert women may be found study
ing civic problems, urging lethargic pub
lie servants to the performance Of their
tasks, guarding the interests Of home and
child, aiding philanthropy, planning move
ments for community improvement and
encouraging an interest in art, literature
and general culture.
There are thousands Of communities in
this land where the women's club is prac-
tically the centre Of whatever intellectual
interest there is. Is there a public library
or an art gallery, or public lecture
course, or a disposition TO read anything
more serious than the weekly story maya
zines and the best sellers? The chances
are ten to one that these things owe their
inspiration to the local women's club.
Professor Hugo Munsterberg, Of Har-
ward, exclaims over what he calls "the
Termination of culture in America" Ger
tain feminists rejoice in this as indicating
that this is "the woman's age" That is
probably overstating the case. But it,
while the male members of society are
mostly so busy making a living that they
have little time or energy left to live
women are willing to employ their leisure
hours i'm the cultivation of the higher in
terests Of life the nation as a whole is
the gamer.
But the real significance Of the fedora.
ton of women is greater than this. II
is more than a cultural movement; it is
part of a process of social readjustment

An End of Neutrality.

To the Editor o. The Tribune.
Sir. We sometimes can get better I'M
derstanding Of where a man stands and what
he means through the thoughts he utters
parentheticolly than by pondering over
his deliberate explanations of his posi-
tion. SO you seem to have done in to-day,
editorial on "The Presidents Speech You
clearly show the difference between his con
ception Of the European war and your own.
or the European. conception. But WHY iq +.
that so many Americans presume TO know
the true cause and meaning of this war bet
ter than the combatant5 themselves? II the
warning nations claim the conflict results
from the phases and expressions OF their
lives becoming intoerable and Incompatible.
then surely you are right in saying that !:
is mighty clash of ideals to establish q
principle.
With what reason do people say that the
storm comes from war madness? T. seem.
to me those who hold this view are laborng
under sustained prctension. IN the first
place while they hold this idea. no one will
expect them to cross bayonets with war-mad
nations. Secondly. this pleasing point OF
view gives them a position which nsures
safety, and will permit them. they think. a
very free hand In the final reckoning. That
is fatuous thought. This war, in which
the meaning OF life, Of civilization. is at
stake. will bear no neutrals. The participants
are most sane; they have volumes OF reason.
They ere in earnest. For the United States
to chidc them, TO call them bloodthirsty, ;s
most shallow. We can no longer remain
aloof and expect in the end, for so doing,
they v i'll appeal 20 Us as judge.
We had better get 10 work TO study both
sides. n We know them. then let US declare
ourselves From the attitudes Of each side,
which seems TO intend 10 confer the greatest
blessings on man? Which strives TO b. SO
organized and equipped as TO be always
ready to modest inferior and opposed Deo-
pies? BY all means let us get away from
that sckenng neutral position. In the long
run. T.. is we'll 70 remember, the most painful
truth makes better travelling companion
than the most pleasant falsehood. The war

A Progressive Ultimatum.
Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Like great many Of my brother
Progressiyes who left the Republican party
in 1912 for good and sufficient reasons, /
desire to renew my allegiance to that party,
but insist on returning with honor and not
like a whipped cur.
II the so-called leaders Of the party i'm
agine they can force the followers OF Colonel
Roosevelt to support such a candidate as
Elihu Root they are laboring under a de-
fusion, and their awakening from that
dream will be very rude indeed ! have no
hesitation in saying, and | echo the senti-
ments OF many others. that | will vote for
Wilson in the event that Root is the Repub-
lican candidate and Roosevelt does not run.
II the Republicans are anxious to win this
year they can make victory absolutely GER
tain by nominating the only man who can
beat the note writer. and that man is T. r..
Hughes is Wilson's twin so far as ideas
are concerned, and the people whose votes
take a longer time TO count do not trust
Root. Roosevelt is the logical candidate.

MIR. Lloyd Georges New Task.

One who is known to-day as the most
venomous critic of Mr.. Lloyd George spoke
of him as follows but a few years since;
."He Swoops down on opportunities like a
hawk on its prey. He does not pause to
think: he acts. The bigger the task the
better he likes it. The higher the stakes
the more heroic his play. He never fears
to put his fate TO the touch, and will cheer
fully stake his all on throw
Clearly an exceptional figure in the pres
cnt British Ministry, and perhaps the most
prudent choice possible for so eXtraordi-
nary task as clearing up the mess in Ire
land II is true that Mr.. Lloyd George has
not always proved himself much wiser or
more foreseeing than his colleagues. Only
a few months before the war he was talk
ing about disarmament and backing the
most easy going in the assurance that the
German menace was purely imaginary.
But, whatever his defects of judgment in
the past, he has been a man Of action since
the war began, and never for a moment has
he tolerated the motto "Wait and see"
Moreover. he is man of imagination, and
imagination of an unusual order will surely
be needed to adjust and reconcile the con-
fiicting interests in Ireland.
1t speaks well for his standing in Par
Lament that he should be accepted by Sir
Edward Carson and Mr. Redmond, by John
Dillon and William O'Brien. The opposi-
ton of Mr.. Ginnell was to be expected, but
it is of comparatively little consequence.
That those who have agreed to the prof.
ect expect a sudden clearing up Of all the
complications is extremely unlikely; if they
accept it it is because they have nothing
better TO propose and because it is OBJ
vious that the present state Of affairs IN
Ireland can no longer be endured.
1t would be idle to conjecture what Mr..
Lloyd George has in mind with regard to
the government of Ireland, if, indeed, his
idea is in any way formulated. The belief
that the Home Rule act will be put in force
at once is altogether improbable, but we
have probably heard the last of Castle gov
eminent in its present form. 1t has been
too gross a failure to be countenanced any
longer. and if there is to be Lord Lieu
tenant in future the system of administra-
ton will undoubtedly be changed.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges task of reconciing
the differences that exist at present be-
tween the several parties in Ireland is
prodigious one, but his singular tact and
personal popularity give some promise Of
success. In the long run it may possibly
be found expedient to leave the solution of
Irish affairs to Irishmen.
