THE. DAY FRANCE CELEBRATES
What the 18th of July and the Provinces and How Is
tIonored-Not Day of Vacation but of Patriotic
Rejoicing and Military Grandeur

since the previous night, rush up to the gal
leres to the cheap seats, not thinking that
they may well occupy any seat In the
boxes or orchestra.
In the evening free dancing on every i'm
portant street crossing where platforms are
erected and bands furnished by the city, gives
the young folks a chance for amusement. The
usual good humor mingled with the Partisan
wit does more to preserve order than hundred
polcemen as a matter Of fact there are
fewer arrests on the 14th of July than on any
other day.
do not mention the brilliancy of the fire.
works or of the illuminations; they are the
same here. But what makes the contrast
striking to an impartial observer. is the utter
lack of enthusiasm on the 4th of July in the
United States as compared with the heart
to-heart participation of the Frenchman on
his national holiday. | am sure that the
American is as patriotic as the Frenchman,
but his patriotism needs firing up. The 4th
of July does not impress him any more than
any other vacation day, whereas to the
Frenchman the l4th of July is day of pa
trotic rejoicing and of military grandeur,
which does not mean that France is a mill
taristic nation. She is democracy, as is her
sister republic of the United States; the two
countries have similar ideals which weld
them into an eternal friendship based on a
sincere understanding that no undercurrent
of diplomacy can ever rend asunder.
Therefore, the l4th of July in France and
the 4th of July in the United States, repre-
senting as they do fight for independence
and for justice, are two dates equally dear
tc both countries.

Insanity in Kansas.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

o the Editor OF Inc tribune.
Sir: In letter recently published in your
columns, Mr.. Rolln o. Everhart tried to ex.
plain away the increase of "a per cent in the
number of insane in Kansas under prohibi-
tion, during the twenty years from 1890 to
1910, by asserting that "to be adjudged an
inebriate is to be adjudged insane in Kan
sas" How much reliance can be placed on
his statements is shown by the following ex-
tract from letter from J. d. Flanagan, of
Oberlin Kan, who has been a member of the
State Legislature for several years:
"In answer to yours of the 5th inst, re-
lating to insanity and inebriety, would say
that there has never been case of this kind
not one, in this or adjoining counties. There
is not syllable in the Kansas laws that
would justify finding to that effect"
1t is up to Mr.. Everhart to furnish proof
of his assertion, or admit that he. deliber-
ately sought to deceive your readers.

Napoleonic Maxirns.

In little volume, Napoleon in His
Own Words" just translated from the
French, one comes upon many military and
political maxims which apply as strikingly
to-day as they did in the great command
er's own time. A few Of them may be
worth quoting.
"Inevitable wars are always just,
opined Napoleon. In the field, IAN army
which cannot be reinforced is already de-
feated" What is this but the theory OF
attrition of the present war, on a scale
undreamt of by the Corsicah? Never
march by flank in front Of an army In
position. This principle is absolute" Won
Kluck disregarded it. Generals who hold
fresh troops for the morrow OF the battle
are nearly always beaten" AS for the
responsibilities of the supreme command
er: Dealing constantly with even the
most violent facts involves less wear on
the heart than dealing with distractions.
There is that bit of cynicism which ap-
piled to the Prussia and Austria of Napo-
Icons own day, and which, according to
rumor, applies even now to the military
establishments of more than one of the
combatants: "No man will seek epau-
lettes on the field of battle when he can
get them in an antechamber." Grim but
true is the observation that "he who can
rot look over a battlefield with a dry eye
causes the death of many men uselessly.
And again: "There are some cases where
the expenditure of men is an economy OF
blood"
"The most desirable quality Of SOL
dier is constancy in the support Of fatigue;
valor is only secondary. An army is a
nation which obeys. When conscription is
no longer looked upon as a burden, but
only as a point of honor, of which each is
Jealous, then only is a nation great, glorl-
GUS, strong. 1t is then alone that it is in
2 position to brave reverses, invasions-
time itself. When nation has no records
of enrolment and no principle of military
it is very hard for it to or
ganize an army"
with a sincere ally, France will be
mistress of the world. So long as Eng
land will not allow France to possess Bel
GUM, there is no sincerity in her alliance.
Whoever possesses Constantinople ought
to rule the world. Europe is molehill.
It has never had any great empires like
those of the Orient, numbering six hum
dred million souls"
And one last word: 81 have shown
France what she is capable of. Let her
achieve it."
New-York tribune., 1916-07-14
Three Things Uncle Sam Needs.

(Rear Admiral Robert z. Peory IN Lesiie's)
In any consideration of national prepared
ness and defence, there are three big, broad
features of vital Importance.
These three features pertain to our first
line of defence, the navy; to our second line
of defence, our coasts; to our third line OF
defence, our military forces. 1t is interest
ing that these three features pertain respec-
lively to the sea, the air and the land. These
three important features are:
First-A feet of sixteen 35knot battle
cruisers, armed with 16-inch guns, eight on
the Atlantic, eight on the Pacific, with all
their accessories of destroyers, submarine and
hydro aeroplanes construction to begin az
once and completed in three years., to put
the navy of the United States in unques-
toned second place among the naval powers
of the world.
Second-An air service commensurate with
our Importance and sufficient for our protec-
ton. department of aeronautics, separate
from and independent of both the army and
the navy, its head a member of the Presi-
dents Cabinet, in full and undivided control
of comprehensive aero coast defence sys-
TEN. which our peculiar geographical position
and extended coast line render imperative; of
a system of aviation training schools, located
in each of the principal geographical dvi-
sions of the country and of the civil and
commercial avenues Of aeronautic usefulness.
With our resources and mechanical genius,
under the spur of concentrated and undivided
attention, such department may in the near
future be more vital TO our national safety
and integrity than either the navy or the
army.
Third-A system of citizen military educa-
ton and training similar to the systems of
Switzerland and Australia, which will train
every young man and able-bodied male in the
country, yet without making them perma-
nent burden upon the finances OF the country
or taking them from their ordinary occupa-
tions or professions. A system which on the
same percentage of efficiency as the systems
of Switzerland and Australia, will give us
1O. .OOO0O or more trained citizen soldiers
available, in All emergency, in forty-eight
hours.
New-York tribune., 1916-07-14

out the truth of Shaw's criticism of Tol-
stoy's teaching. The individual cannot
wholly separate himself from his social
environment. There are times when re-
bellion is heroic. But little good may be
accomplished when one living in the pres
ent stage of social evolution tries to con-
duct himself as if he were citizen OF
some ideal society of the future. Tolstoy
himself, even in times of peace, found 1t
impossible without certain compromises to
adjust his conscience to the real world IN
which he lived.
New-York tribune., 1916-07-14
Cleanliness.

The method employed by the local health
authorities to check the spread of IN
fantile paralysis deserves special comment
Primarily it is nothing but campaign OF
cleanliness. There is nothing magical OF
mysterious about this remedy, nothing be
yond the comprehension of the average
person, nothing which has not been re-
heated thousand times.
1t is the same method which was used
to stamp out the bubonic plague in the
South and the epidemic of yellow fever II
Cuba following the Spanish War-the old
homely method of good communal house
keeping, soap and water, common decency
the scrubbing out of filth, the proper dis
posal of garbage and decomposing refuse
the determination of disease-carrying In
sects and vermin, the creatures of neglect
and squalor.
The value of cleanliness as the best pre-
ventive of disease is a lesson which can
not be taught too often or insisted upon
too emphatically. The use of medicines
antitoxins and the various healing potions
discovered by medical science is of Sec
ondary Importance; the first requirement
for health, personal and social, is to keep
clean. Most of the infections which af-
flict humanity are the direct result of filth
and slovenliness somewhere.
The fact that in the midst of the pres
ent epidemic, in the immediate vicinity OF
the infection, more than six hundred per-
sons have been arrested for violations of
the health ordinances of the city means
something. 1t indicates an habitual lax
ness in the observance of sanitary require
ments of which both individuals and those
whose duty it was to enforce these regu-
lations have been guilty.
While we are insisting upon prepared
ness" and Americanism we need new
and strcter code of public and personal
morality, which will rank physical un-
cleanliness among the deadly sins. Ac-
cording to Havelock Ellis, filth is not only
the cause of most disease, but Of most
immortality and obscenity as well.
New-York tribune., 1916-07-14
Rejected Cuardsmen.
From The Minneapolis Journal


More than 10 per cent of the men of the
Minnesota National Guard were rejected as
physically unfit by the United States Army
examiners While no record is available. IT
is assumed that a still larger proportion were
found wanting among the men who originally
offered their services, as only those passed by
the militia examiners got as far as the final
tests at Camp Bobleter.
Remember, these reflections were among
among men who thought themselves fit, men
who felt sure they we're able bodied and with
out important physical defect How many
more there were who would have liked to
offer themselves, but who did not because Of
known imperfections, there is, of course, no
way of knowing.
Perhaps army physical standards are
higher now than they were in the nations
earlier days. But it is more likely that
the average Of physical condition among our
younger men has fallen. 1t may be due to
present day "hurry up" methods in business
and social life, with their consequent penalty
of nerves" Bad nerves mean weak bodies,
the doctors say II may be that our diet has
become too fancy" II may be that we are
not getting the fresh air and exercise our an
oestors had forced upon them by their daily
existence. Whatever the cause, there is food
for thought in the recent examinations at
Camp Bobleter.
New-York tribune., 1916-07-14
July ID, 1916.

Two years Of world war draw to q
close as France prepares to celebrate the
birthday Of her liberty. Never in the
thousand years Of her tumultuous history
has she been so calm, so sure of the path
she treads, red with the blood of her young
men. She has never drunk any cup OF
Joy so deeply as this cup of her agony
In the early months Of the war there were
doubts and dismays, and the cheap talk Of
compromise. There were black days and
black moods, and a swaying indecision
But under the immense pressure Of crisis
France has lifted to clear determine
ton. This war will be fought to finish.
No feeble dreams Of peace, entertained by
loose thinkers and fluent phrase makers;
no easy cancellations, will be tolerated.
France has made her sacrifice. 1t re-
mains now that it shall avail. She will
fulfil her destiny.
Time has ceased to matter. Death is
only an incident in the ongoing of the
nation. No tortures by mutilation, no
horrors of shell fire, no massing Of ma
chine guns, can swerve the united will.
The Sacred Union" of socialist and roy
alist, peasant and politician, is firm 20
endure. The egoisms and chickering's OF
easy. untested years have been drowned in
a tide that sets toward the Rhine. The
premier race of the world goes forth 20
war. That war is only in its beginning.
The toll of the dead and the wounded may
be doubled before the gray lines are
broken. But they will be broken. A
menace is to be removed for all time. The
German Empire is not to rule IN Paris
Atrocities are not to be justified by SUE
cess. Spying will be no longer the basis
of international relationship. France
faces in one direction. She waits in arms
at Revigny and along the watercourses
of the North for the machine to crack.
That consummation Of the long watcn
NAV be nearer than we guess. 1t may
be many months removed. 1t does noI
matter. France waits in unshattere1
line, reserve on reserve, ready to the call.
Only once or twice in history has the
world witnessed such spectacle Of grea--
ness at tension. 1t is not that factories
are busy on shells. 1t is that everything
spiritual in a race touched with genius
has been modified. Fineness OF feeling,
the graces of the intellectual life, clarity
of thought, all the playful, tender elements
Of worthy living, arc burning with
steady light.
