American Partisanship.

An outburst of criticism of the Ameri-
can attitude toward Germany is reported
from Berlin on the score of the recent
death Of an American aviator in the
French service, the Berlin press suggest
ing that this is but an illustration of
the falsity of American pretenses Of
neutrality, especially as there are
many other Americans in the British and
French service, especially in the flying
corps. It is, however, to be noted that
the Berlin press recognizes that these
men have joined the forces Of the allies
strictly within their individual rights as
adventures in warfare, whose sym
pathies have caused them to risk their
lives. There is no connection whatever
between the action Of these American
partisans of the entente powers and the
official position of the American gov
ernment as a neutral between the bel
ligerents in the war. Although the
government is neutral large percent

neutral in their feelings. There is a
large pro-German sentiment here, not
merely confined to those Of German
birth and extraction. There is perhaps
larger pro-ally feeling, which springs
from no particular factor Of race origin,
but is chiefly sentimental. In all likeli-
hood many of the former class have
gone to Germany and enlisted in the
war and are now fighting, if they have
survived, just as these young American
ayiators and others have Joined the
ranks Of the allies. It is not in the
best Of taste to question the good faith
of the American official neutrality on
the ground of these individual cases of
partisanship, in view Of the fact of the
unmistakable existence of pro- German
sentiment on the part of large num-
Der of American people, a sentiment
which at one time went to a point Of
expression that called for Official rebuke
from the President of the United States

CONSTANTINE'S HESITATION.

time Mr.. Morgenthau served as ambas-
sador to Turkey, and was succeeded by
another New Yorker.
What the republican expectations are
respecting the state is not announced.
The candidate for President is New
Yorker, and his campaign manager and
the campaign treasurer are New York
ers. Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Perkins,
who are exerting themselves to bring all
bull moosers into the Hughes line, are
New Yorkers. This makes it certain
that the republicans also will assess the
state for liberal amount Of the sinews
of war; and that in case Of success at
the polls New York will share literally
in the fruits of victory in the shape of
all the higher grades of patronage.
Well, using the vernacular, the state
can stand the gaff. She is very rich
probably never before so rich as now.
a large portion of the prosperity grow
ing CIT of the war has come to her. She
has been selling on her own account, and
also for Others She has been handling
both cash and commodities in enormous
amounts. Previous record figures look
small by comparison.
Still, when this abnormal prosperity
ceases, as it will cease when the war
ends, and the country must look to the
normal again, New York will require as
much attention in the policies for pro
tecting the national interests as any Of
her sister states. She will share their
necessities as she now shares their op-
portunities. So, now while she is flush
is the time for the politicians to strike
her for the "dust." The mare is going,
and it takes money to make her 60.

Parents and Children.

Health Officer Woodward has issued
statement appealing to parents Of the
children in Washington to take par
tieular pains with respect to the con-
ditions in which children do their home
studying. This is especially important
in view of the advocacy by a lecturer
before the teachers Of tho higher grades
and the high and normal schools of the
policy of home study for pupils. The
health officer urges parents to see that
each child has suitable place, with
proper light and good ventilation, at
which to pursue the studies at home. A
copy Of this statement should reach

Prophets and Prophecies!

Some Of the political prophets. armed
with the multiplication table. and un-
dismayed by their failure as to Maine,
have turned to other localities and are
Offering confident predictions as to them.
This state will do this thing, that state
that thing, while another state will
throw staggering surprise into the
country. Listen, everybody!
This sort of thing is as old as the
hills. The wonder is that it is still
marketable But marketable it is. In
every campaign there seems to be de-
mand for it. At any rate, in every cam
paign there is large supply of it. The
present supply is normal; which prob
ably shows that while we have new
times we are still using some old
methods.
A campaign manager must be con-
fident-for publication. He knows his
duty, and does it. In submitting his
figures he well understands how they will
be discounted by experienced readers,
even Of his own party. But he is not
addressing them so much as the mex
perienced readers-the enthusiasts who
take fire at round numbers. There are
many such. Gamblers have a saying
that sucker is born every minute.
Quite as many enthusiasts are born !;
and they are the "meat" Of political
prophets.
A spellbinder is under almost as heavy
an obligation as a manager In re-
porting good times and predicting sue
cess he but obeys the law Of his calling.
His mission is to hearten. He wants to
send his hearers home with feeling
that victory is ahead, and cannot be
missed by those who are faithful and
dilgent. "Go to it," is his message.
Many prophets are in voice, and the
air is full of sound. As to some states
predictions differ as much as quarter
of a million votes. AS to others as
much as hundred thousand votes. Here
a state is set down as likely to be doubt
full to the end. There a state is set
down as doubtful now, but likely to take
definite stand in the, next twenty days.
Something is working" there which may
yield important results. And so on.
While all this makes good reading, the
only thing to tie to now is the fact
that humping campaign is in prog
ress; that apathy is nowhere in evil
dence; that the people in numbers
everywhere are greeting both native and
imported orators with warmth; that
the vote is likely to be large, and the
mandate of sufficient emphasis to insure
the carrying out Of the popular will as
expressed. As to these propositions
there can be no doubt or dispute.

undeniable that there is great -laxfty
with respect to the conditions which
surround the children at home with re-
spect to their health and mental ad-
vancement. Children are allowed .
much wider range Of Independent action
now than formerly. They are permitted
many more diversions. The popularity
Of motion pictures has complicated do

quently that to be kept at homo is re-
garded by them as a real aiaiction. A
child cannot do the required home work
properly If continually distracted by the
thought Of entertainment. The younger
generation engage also in social diver
siens-dances and parties-whieh cannot
fail to interfere with their studies, and
even to have an i'll effect upon their
health.
The health of the children is of vital
importance to the community. It should
DIR. Woodward is performing valuable
public service in directing attention to
the necessity of wholesome feeding. This
does not mean elaborate or costly diet.
It is within the reach Of all but the very
poor to give children wholesome and
nutritious food.
1t is urgently important that parents
should be occasionally reminded Of the
fact that they are responsible for the
welfare of their children, and that this
responsibility does not end merely in
providing clothing, shelter and food, or
in maintaining rigid restrictive disci-
pline. It is the parents primary task
in life to keep the child we'll and happy,
to insure its education, and above all to
make home pleasant and instructive.
The child who is constantly drawn out
Of doors in search of entertainment is
not getting its full share Of parental
care.

30, 1915, the membership Of the Ameri.
can Red Cross In
Membership of creased from 27 900 to
p.l-n 100000. One of the
oA0se' most interesting fea-
lures in this connection is the fact that
the $1,000 membership January l, 1916,
represented the growth of the society
during the ten years following its re-
organization in 1905.
Those who are most Interested in this
work point with pride to this achieve
ment. but the fact must be borne in
mind that little Japan. with its forty
m1illons. has a Red Cross membership
of 100000. having an endowment fund
of s13.000.000, while this country, with
one hundred millions, has even now
a Red Cross membership of 100000 and
an endowment fund of only about
$1,000, 900.
The magnitude of the work of the
American Red Cross since its incor-
poration in 1905 by Congress should
be convincing to the public. There
have been more than eighty relief op-
erations following earthquakes, vol
canic eruptions. fires, foods, famines
mine explosions and wars in this and
foreign countries. for which the So
ciety has received and expended more
than $10.000,000 In cash and donated
relief supplies of value of not less
than $5,000.00O.
1t is not SO generally known that
this society is semi-governmental and
1t has never received the support that
it should have. The American Red
Cross is intended to aid in the preven-
tion and allleviation of human suffer-
ing in times of peace as well as in
times Of war. The original purpose for
the medical service of armies in time
OF war. The great need. however, of
a thoroughly trained and efficient or
ganiZation, national in scope and per-
manent in character. to render assist
ance after great disasters, has been
so well established that many of the
Red Cross societies have extended their
functions to include relief and pre-
ventive measures in time of peace
Up to within few months ago prac-
tically nothing had been done toward
organized Red Cross preparedness for
furnishing volunteer aid to the sick
and wounded Of our army and navy in
time of war. During the past six
twenty-five base hospitals of 500 beds
each for the army have been selected
and enrolled from among the staff of
twenty-five of the largest and best hos
pitfalls of the country. Several navy
hospitals which are about half the size
organized, and funds for the purchase
of equipment of sixteen of the twenty
five army base hospitals costing $25,O0O
each, have been subscribed
In addition to this organization of
base hospital units, the personnel re-
quired for two field columns for trans
ferrng the sick and wounded from the
transfer hospitals of the regular army
service to the Red Cross base hospitals
have been selected and enrolled from
among the staff of two of the important
hospitals of the country and $4,000 to-
ward the purchase of the equipment
for one of these field columns has also
been subscribed. There is little doubt
but what this increased impetus in the
work and enthusiasm of the Red Cross
has been awakened both by the Euro
pean war and our troubles on the bor-
der.
