WHAT THE SOLDIER DOESN'T
KNOW

An interesting light is shed on the
conduct of modern war, by the
article of Major Vane, just published
in a Dublin paper, concerning the
suppression Of the revolt in Ireland.
Major Vane saw a good deal Of evil
dence that the British military au-
thorities were panic-stricken, lost
their heads, and indulged methods
that in their better senses they
would not have dreamed of employ
ing. And one of the suggestive
touches is this:
It mustsbe remembered that the troops
which poured into Ireland on April 25
were all very young soldiers. Many of
them did not know even whether they
We're In France or In Ireland.
Just in those two sentences is con-
veyed volume of meaning. One of
the wonders of the war has been the
marvellous secrecy with which great
bodies of troops have been moved
over great distances. The soldier is
trained in camp until he is ready
for service; then comes an order for
movement; but he knows not
whittier. He is taken to a seaport
town, at night; with some prefer
ence, in most cases for ports with
which the particular body Of soldiers
are not familiar. He goes on board
a transport with his command, and
it sails. The soldier does not know
where it is taking him. He may
have enough general knowledge of
places and routes to be able to cal
culate; but not by any means in all
cases. Commands were taken away
to the Gallipoli, that had no idea
they were going there. Colonials,
supposing they were en- route to
France, were .debarked at Gallipoli,
only vaguely knowing in what part
OF the world they were, or on what
service bent.
Across the Irish Sea is a night
voyage not likely to be very accu-
rately differentiated from the trip
across the Channel to France. It is
natural enough that many of the
soldiers did not know they were in
ireland at all, when they were
landed.
It is not the soldiers business to
ask questions; his merely to obey
the literal orders that come to him.

up TO THE CRISIS ONCE MORE

Apparently the oft-announced and
regularly postponed crisis in the
three-sided negotiation over the rail.
road situation is due to be acute
again Monday. The President has
called on legislative leaders, prob.
ably in the effort to inform them
fully concerning what he is doing,
and to enable them to keep political
forces in hand for action il action
shall become necessary.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that
legislative action may not become
necessary. There have been times
in the past when the Chief Execu-
tive was compelled to step in and
help compose difficulties growing
out of strikes that had actually been
called, and that had developed to
such disastrous proportions that ex-
treme measures were necessary.
But not until the present instance
has the Chief Executive undertaken
to employ his influence and authority
to adjust such situation before the
strike had been started.
Once called, every hour of strike
would mean millions of dollars of
loss to the business Of the country,
to The railroads, and their employees.
1t would enforce a realization that
our industrial prosperity rests on a
delicate adjustment of elements
among which the possibility of hos
tility is always to be considered.
There must be no strike, no strike
order.
The representatives of the en-
ployes' unions are getting restive.
Right or wrong, the feeling gains
ground among them that delays are
being cultivated, because delay is
harder for them to bear than for any
other interest involved. It is of
the utmost necessity, therefore,
that quick determination of the issue
be reached.
Quick determination means that it
must be kept out of Congress. Con-
ference between the President and
the leaders of both political parties,
for the purpose of formulating ideas
and determining what policy can
safely be adopted, is useful and
necessary; but it would. be almost
an unalloyed misfortune to permit
the pending issue itself to become
involved with legislative action,

She Would Be Bride
But u. S. Says mo-

Actress, Prisoner on Ellis
Island Since May %.

NEW YORK. Aug. G.-Application has
been made to the Federal court for a
writ of habeas corpus for Miss Hilda
Rose Cavaugh. a pretty English actress.
who has languisheL on Ellis Island
since May 20.
United States immigration authorities
have been impolite enough to say that
Miss Cavapagh Is an undesirable alien
iasmuch as she arrived In the steerage
with little money and no visible means
of support. The board OF special in
quiry on Ellis Island ordered her deport-
ed and the Department of Labor con-
firmed the decision.
Joseph NJ. Brown, who asked for the
writ. told the court that Miss Cav
anaugh expects to obtain theatrical en-
gagements here that will bring her n
good income. He stated, too, that Clar-
ence ID. Levey, an American citizens of
means and good moral character, wishes
to marry Miss Cavanaugh.
The contention Is that the immigratio
authorities have abused their discretion
and are acting without warrant OF law, I"
Miss Cavanaugh testified before the
Ellis Island board that she met Mr.,
Bevey In 1913. She averred she has been

ment is calculated to precipitate an
internal crisis in Greece. There may
be revolution. But the results even
of successful revolution would be
insignificant, as compared with the
solid advantages the Germanic forces
have gained. The Greek army has

up, would have a great task making

BISHOP TO OBSERVE
HIS GOLDEN JUBILEE
Bishop D. S. TuttIe to Have
Celebration at Convention Of
episcopaIians In st. Louis.

The forty-fourth triennial general con.
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church will be held this year in St
Louis. opening Wednesday. october II.
This Is the first time the gathering
has been held west of the Mississippi
An outstanding feature Of this conven.
tion will be the celebration of the f,ftieth
anniversary Of the election to the epis.
copate of Bishop ID. 8. Tuttie, of Mis-.
souri,. the Oldest bishop In the America r
church.
Each Of the sixty-eight diocese. ha,
elected four clerical and four lay depu.
ties; the twenty-three missionary dis.
tricts have chosen their one lay, and one
clerical deputy; and the ten foreign
jurisdictions will each have a repre-
sentative. In addition to these 600 cieri.
cal and lay deputies. l2 bishops will be
present.
Sits as Two Houses.
The convention sits as two houses. the
house OF bishops and the house OF
deputies. each having a veto upon the
other. Its primary object Is to make
laws for the church.
Legislation takes the form Of Canons
which are operative at once, and amend
ments OF the constitution which require
The House of Bishops hlls vacancies
In the missionary episcopate with the
concurrence OF the lowed house.
. In the house OF deputies there are four
teen standing committees appointed by
the president. There are ten commit
tees OF commissions Of the house oi
bishops. In addition the Joint commits
sions and committees Of the two houses
number thirty-six.
Important Subjects.
Among the important subjects now
under consideration by these bodies. are
the relation Of the Episcopal church to
other Christian communions: Revision
and Enrichment of the Prayer Book
Christian Election Of Bishop for
Negroes In the United States; an ade-
quate pension system for the clergy.
Both Houses OF the convention will
meet In Moolah Temple the sessions of
the House of Deputies being open to
the public. For the past few years
there has been a growing agitation
against the exclusion of the press and
public from the session OF the House
Of Bishops.
A proposal to throw open the pro-
ceedings was defeated by narrow
majority at the last General Conven-
tion In New York. but there Is a gen-
eral belief that 1t will be successful
this year.

THE ALLIES OUTWITTED7

The entente allies have at no time
seemed capable of matching wits
against the Teutonic powers in the
devious diplomatic game of the near
East. They lost Bulgaria, they failed
to win Roumania and Greece, they
found tough nut in Turkey. That
was early in the war. Now, after
fearful costs have been paid for early
mistakes, they are seemingly being
outwitted once more in the military
and diplomatic game.
Only few days ago it was given
out, seemingly on pretty good au-
thority from middle Europe, that the
Bulgars would be held in leash; they
were not to be permitted to press an
advantage against Greece, lest it in
flame the Greek people and bring
Greece into the war on the side of
the entente.
1t all sounded very plausible. But
what was actually happening? The
Bulgars were at that very time, it
now appears, extending their front
far into Greek territory, occupying
Greek forts, replacing Greek garri-
sons that were being withdrawn, and
doing it all with the consent of the
Athens government. The Greek peo-
pie apparently did not understand
the extent to which their govern
ment, dominated by it's Germanic
sympathies, was betraying them.
Now they are awakening, and so are
the entente forces, but the damage is
to a considerable extent done.
Occupying the area they have just
taken over, the Bulgars are better
than ever situated to protect the lines
along which the allied army must ad-
vance from the Saloniki front to
crush Bulgaria and cut off Turkey
from the central powers. 1t looks
as if the central empires had won a
great strategic point-won it because
the Athens government dared to take
a step that almost nobody believed
it would take.
1t is true that such a betrayal OF
its own people and national interests
such violation of its pledges to the
entente powers, by the Greek govern

OUR NAVAL DEFENSES ONCE
MORE "DESTROYED"

There is more of significance in
the outcome of the naval war game,
just concluded off the North Atlantic
coast, than most people other than
skilled strategists will appreciate.
Last year in the same game of
attacking "reds" and defending
"blues," the defenders were out
witted and the enemy made his
theoretical landing in the Chesa-
peake region. This year the vet
more vital area of New York harbor
was approached and the landing
effected on Long Island.
All this means simply that the
long coastline of the United States,
unguarded by. islands calculated to
serve as bases and reconnoitering
points, is one of the most difficult
littorals in the world to protect. An
enemy force has all the advantage,
because it holds the initiative in
making plans. 1t must be guarded
against everywhere, while it wants
to attack, to make its landing, only
in one place.
Two years in succession the ad-
vantage on the side of the attacking
force has been demonstrated by the
naval maneuvers; and it is a demon
stration that cannot be taken light
ly. The "war game" is played
mighty seriously by the men en-
trusted with the conduct of the op-
posing forces. They do the best
they know how to do with the forces
at their command, exactly as they
would do in war.
Tending force was brought to the
critical engagement ten miles off
Ambrose lightship. That means, in
terms Of actual war, that the battle
was fought just outside New York
harbor, and that the result left the
country's, chief port at the mercy of
the enemy's guns. 1t is true that
the harbor defenses of New York
have not been even theoretically re-
duced. But those defenses are in
tended to be useful in cooperation
with naval force in being. The
naval force destroyed, the defense
of the greatest port on earth would
instantly become very different
matter. Coast defenses are not in
tended to prevent an enemy, once he
is in control of the sea, from making
landing. That would require
studding thousands of miles of sea-
coast with huge guns, and keeping
armies wherever there was posi-,
bility of an enemy trying to land.
The essence of coast defense is
that the naval force must be kept in
being, powerful enough to prevent
among possible landing places and
the enemy from taking his choice
then landing without interference.
No country on earth, probably, has
so difficult problem of coast de-
fense, from this point of view, as
the United States. If the North At
lantic coast defenders are regularly
to be outmaneuvered, what would
happen in a game of real war, in
which north and south Atlantic and
perhaps also the Pacific coast, must
be guarded, all at once?
Lesson of the war game is that
naval expansion, on which the coun-
try is tardily entering, is absolutely
necessary II real, effective protection
is to be insured to the nation.
