Pershing had been unable to get

MoNEYLEss TRAINING CAMPS

p Congress killed the widely advo-
Gated volunteer provision Of the
Chamberlain army bill and substi-
tuted for 1t a section providing for
the establishment throughout the
country of a chain of training camps
embodying the "Plattsburg idea"
Then Congress folded its hands and
rested. It had authorized the camps,
but failed to provide an appropria-
ton with which its training camp
plan could be made a practical
reality.
Unless Congress gets busy and at
once passes appropriation bills for
this purpose thousands of young
men who are debarred from attend
ing the camps solely because of the
EXPENSE minimum of $55, which
they would be forced to pay them
selves-will be forced to wait at
least a year for elementary military
training. -tt o..

invitation to make Washington the
scene Of their reunion in 1917 as
sures the Capital Of a formal visit
from the men who in the eos would
have been glad to come without an
invitation.
1t will be great opportunity for
the Capital to demonstrate the high
est form Of municipal cordiality. The
parade Of last Wednesday was an
evidence of what this city can do in
the way Of spectacles even on a short
notice. What it could do were en-
thusiasm and time combined might
well be shown on the occasion of the

czERNOwITz CAPTURED AGAIN

The semi-official announcement of
the taking Of Czernowitz by the Rus
slams evidences that General Brush
loft Isl still pushing his offensive on
ward without material resistance
from the Teutonic forces opposing
him. To believe Russian claims
means that the past two weeks, has
witnessed the destruction by killing
or, capture of more than so per cent
Of the German and Austrian forces
which were scattered from Pripet to
the Roumanian border when the
drive began. ''''''.
An interesting sidelight on the
capture Of Czernowitz is the fact
that when the Russians were there
last year they removed from the
city hall decoration consisting of
a double-headed eagle and that just
previous to the present storming> of
the city the Germans had with a
gala day celebration unveiled an
other similar decoration. The Bear
is certainly keeping the Eagle on
the move. 49,

LOS ANGELES NEW DISTINCTION

Los Angeles has always had q cli-
mate. Some people, especially those
who live there, have thought it was
the only climate in the country that
was fit to live in. Washington dur
ing this present glorious month Of
June would give argument to the
Western city as to which, was the
better place to live. Washington Is,
however, barred from contesting
with the Pacific metropolis in its
latest bid for supremacy for the
boundaries Of the Capital will never
be extended SO much as to make it a
contestant for the title of 1.-THE
Largest City in the United States"
BY the annexation of Westgate and
Occidental, Los Angeles exceeds in
area New York, pushes Chicago into
third place, and becomes almost
three times as large as Philadelphia.
And maybe you won't hear some
thing about it If you go to Los
Angeles.

enduring glow which has lit the
steps Of our diplomacy ever since.
His policy of fostering Pan-Ameri-

by his successors as Secretary of
State, notably by Elihu Root, and we
have had many embassies of good
will, such as those of Root and Theo-
dore E. Burton and lately of Secre-
tary McAdoo. But we doubt if any

DESTINY. BY Charles Neville Buck. New

Mr.. Buck is admired In this. that he
thoroughly knows people. and know
ing them continues to write stories
about them. The Call OF the Cumber-
land" Ia perhaps his hest known book
of the rural mountain districts. but the
present novel no less skillnIlly handles
the same theme.
The cal OF the citv to the country
boy who Is sure that within himself
lies the making OF a master OF finance.
whose devotion to his family through
every defeat and triumph of his own.
is made the theme of DESTINY"
In portraytng the family life of the
Burtons Mr.. Buck has done a splendid
piece of work. humanizing them all, but
never for a moment allowing us to for
get the dominating figure OF Hamilton
Burton.
The novel Is worth mose than a cas-
ual summer reading. II deserves a place
on the shelf of the student OF present.
day fiction. and Is a worthy addition TO
Mr.. Bucks growing iist'o novels.

AlMERIcANISM CANNOT BE MADE
A POLITICAL ISSUE
From the Democratic platform we
extract the following:

We therefore condemn as subver-
sive OF this nations unity and integ-
rity and as destructive OF its well
fare the activities and designs Of
cal or other. that has for its Object
the advancement of the interests Of
foreign power. whether such OBJ
tect Is promoted by intimidating the
Government, political party or rep
resentatiyes OF the people. or which
people into antagonistic groups and
thus to destroy that complete agree
ment and solidarity OF the people
and that unity of sentiment and ma
tional purpose so essential to the
perpetulty Of the nation and its free
institutions
We condemn all alliances and
combinations OF individuals in this
country Of whatever nationality or
descent. who agree and conspire to-
gether Tor the purpose OF embar-
RAISING or weakening our Govern
ment, or OF improperly influencing
or coercing our public representa-
tives In dealing or negotiating with
any foreign power. ...
Every citizen of the United States
in whose veins runs true Ameri-
canism says "Amen" to that. Every
citizen Of the United States in whose
veins runs true Americanism was
declaring and living up to those
principles before the Democratic con-
vention met, before President Will
son began officially to express them
for these are the very words taken
out of his speeches Of recent date.
Every political party which is an
American party believes in them and
lives up to them and will live up to
them. Every faction of a political
party which is an American party
believes them and will live up to
them.

Elihu Root, Mr.. Wilson-yeal every
man who has aspired to the nomi-

STILL TARIFF HUMBUo

In the tariff plank which wen,
from the White House to st. Louis
there was a declaration for an in.
vestigation Of changing economic
conditions at home and abroad by q
tariff commission, whose findings
should be presented to Congress for
action looking to an anti-dumpine
law which "would keep the tariff
rates on fairly competitive basis
in times of surplus production
abroad" ..,'..
This meant nothing less than a
protective tariff, for a protective
tariff aims to do and does that very
thing Of maintaining in the Ameri-
can market q competitive basis be-
tween a home article produced at
high labor costs and foreign article
produced at pauper labor costs.
But when Mr.. Wilson's COMPETE
tive tariff plank was shown in St.
Louis such shout Of derision went
up from the Republican press and
such a cry of shame from the honest
Democratic press, which saw and
acknowledged the humbug of such q
subterfuge, that the competitive"
stuff was stricken out of the tariff
plank as it finally appeared.
But in its present form II is a
humbug plank, just the same. Word
for word, it goes along with the
plank first sent from the White
House to st. Louis until II comes
down to what the tariff commission
is going to do, and then It muddies
up the stream with these words:
In order to ascertain Just what
those (economic) changes may be.
the Democratic Congress Ia provid-
Ing for non-partisan tariff COM
mission to make impartial, and thor
that may throw light either upon our
past or upon our future fiscal policy
with regard TO the imposition Of
taxes on Imports or with regard to
the changed and changing conditions
under which our trade is carried on.
The only difference between this
and the other is that the first was
bold, brazen humbug and this is
cowardly, sneaking humbug.
The first suggested tariff changes
as competitive" policy; this says
tariff changes as a Fiscal" policy.
But they both mean that the Demo-
cratic party, whose existing tariff
measure Frustrated American indus
tries within six months after it went
into operation and was wiping them
out by the wholesale when the war
came to save them-this means that
the Democratic party, while intend
ing to persist in its FREE TRADE
infatuation, is afraid to stand
straight up in this election and face
the Republican party on the square
issue.

THE ST. LOUIS MOVIES

In a special dispatch from St.
Louis, the regular Washington cor
respondent Of the New York Evening
Post, the most responsible, If not
prominent, working journalist
among the Democratic newspaper
representatives at the convention,
had this to say in his paper yester-
day: -.
President Wilson might have held
the Democratic national convention
In the East Room OF the White
House several weeks ago and saved
rak Sd q Not tsGSss sna
here except at his direction. The
convention is to renominate him. so
there 10 to be no opposition. His
wishes are being met In the plat
form; In fact. he himself drafted It.
and what else does a national con-
vention do besides nominate a cam
didate. adopt a platform. and thank
the local police for their courtesies!
All Of which explains the splendid
spontaneity of every word, every
cheer, and every act Of this conven-
ton, while, as faithfully described
in columns and pages Of Administra-
ton organs, it has simply boiled
with superheated enthusiasm from
the hour the delegates met, and will
go on boiling with the. torrid fervor
as long as the masterful hand Of the
stage manager in the White House
presses the button and the conven-
tion does the rest.
It is indeed one Of the most per-
feet movie performances-all rights
reserved by Woodrow Wilson-ever
exhibited.
