Proposal That He Head
American Army Into
France Causes Frowns.
(Rv George F. Authier.l

10y N1GOIB0 <AubAASAsI.
washington. March 81. - Official
Washington is indulging in consider
able curiosity as to what will be done
with Colonel Roosevelt il there is war
with Germany.
It is well known that in the event
of war, the colonel would like to go TO
the front, "he and his four sons, that
he would like to lead an expeditionary
army into France. It is also well known
that the colonel is prepared to come
forward with q good-sized army or
trained men, all signed, and ready at
the drop Of the hat to go to the front.
They are the kind Of men who would
appreciate the romance OF being the
FIRST Americans to go swinging down
the western front to the tune OF The
Star Spangled Banner" carrying the
message OF America to the battle 'front.'
keenest Of His Desires.
Colonel Roosevelt would probably
rater lead such an expedition than be
president Of the United States again,
or anything else, in fact.
But will he be permitted to do soE
That is a question which no one is able
to answer. but the best guesses are
that he will not. 1t is barely possible
that IL the necessary ARRANGEMENTS
could be made with q 42-centimeter

coming.
There has been no severer critic OF
the administration than Colonel Roose-
welt. The administration expects and
will obtain the united and nonpartisan
support or the country, but after all,
men are but human.
Secretary of War Baker has his own
peculiar grievance. He has probably
not forgotten K the unmerciful trim
ming which the colonel gave him dur
ing the campaign because of Mr.. Bak-
er's alleged; comparison OF Washing
tons soldiers with Mexicans. It is also
possibly keen in his memory. that the
colonel, in his squeaky falSetto, gave IL
as his best information that In his
early youth ftMr. Baker used to knit.
Doubtful II He'll Go First.
So 1t is more than doubtful or so
1t is considered here, that Colonel
Roosevelt will be permitted to get to
the front, at least not with any instial
force.
That honor will possibly go to some
one who has not been SO vocal in the
But it does not follow that the col
onel can be stopped. The colonel be-
Iieves that in the event OF war, war
should be conducted as a real war and
not as a pink tea. He believes men
should be sent to Europe He has cons
graduated the young Americans who
have volunteered with the French fly
Ing corps. Had ii not been for the
fact that he was at one time pres1-
dent of the United States he would
probably have been among the volun-
teers on the other side OF the water.

But with the United States in a
state of war with Germany conditions
would be different. There would be no
question Of good taste preventing the
enlistment Of a volunteer on the side
of the allies and it is confidently ex
pected that in the event of war with
Germany, If the government should
decide not to send an expeditionary
force to Europe, Colonel Roosevelt
may drop over the Canadian boundary
line and that his army Of willing
Americans may find their way over
the boundary line with him.
There would be no reasons Of neu-
trality stopping him or them and any
attempt to keep the colonel out Of the
scrimmage, If 1t comes, will have to
reckon with the coloneIs ingenuity.

TEMPERAMENT

An artist is an artist only by dint
of his exquisite sense Of beauty
sense affording him rapturous en-
joyment, but at the same time imply
ing, or involving, an exquisite sense
of deformity, of disproportion. Thus
a wrong-an injustice-done on a poet
who is really a poet, excites him to a
degree which, to ordinary apprehen-
sion, appears disproportionate with
the wrong. Poets see injustice-nev-
er where it does not exist-but very
often where the unpoetical see no in
justice whatever. Thus the poetical
irritability has no reference to tenn
per- in the vulgar sense, but merely
a more than usual clear sightedness
in respect to wrong.-Edgar Allen Poe.

MANY FOOLISH PEOPLE AN
SEVERED.

New York Globe: To the editor:
You are bowling for war like a
mailman all because a few i'm
beetles insist uuon exercising
their rights to travel the high seas.
There are times when we must
forego certain rights. as we did in
our trouble with Mexico, when
President Wilson informed Amer
leans in Mexico that If they re-
manned there they did so at their
own risk. Are we sorry today for
keeping out of war with Mexico?
! think not.
If this country, is plunged into
war on account of those fools that
were drowned, then / say that
drowning was too easy a death
for them.
Louis u Stern.
New York, March Z.
II only the question of whether or
not our citizens should exercise the
right to travel the high seas were in
volved, public opinion might perhaps
acquiesce in the nonexercise of the
right This country, let us hope, is not
stiffly standing for a cold and barren
legalism.
Cur forefathers, when they elected
tation and took action that led to a
seven years war. were not greatly
impoverished by the taxation levied.
It only recouped the British govern
ment for the sums expended to pro-
tect the colonies. But principle was
at stake. The colonists regarded them
selves as freemen and demanded
respect as such. They were not will
ing to dwarf their souls by allowing
others to be their masters. They be-
lieved there were things in life worse
than physical death and the long
agony of war. They were averse to
spiritual suicide, to the abandonment
of precious heritage that had come
to them from the sacrifices of the
past. They did not put in the scales
the practical advantages Of subser-
outweighed those Of resistance. They
met tyranny on the threshold and
sternly forbade 1t to advance. They
held with Luther at Worms when he
refused to recant rather than with
Henry of Navarro outside of Paris,
when he said that so fair city was
well worth a mass. We can't prove to
our correspondent that Washington
was right, when he went to the aid of
Boston against those who said the
men of Boston were imbeciles. when
they insisted on localities. But he
WENT
The drowning Of our citizens, which
our correspondent says is too easy a
death of them. is a yestibule to
weighty issues. 1t is symptomatic OF
a spirit whose existence not only
threatens every American right, but
affronts man as q civilized animal. II
we consent to IL we become accom-
plices in a whole body Of awful crime.
Conduct must be considered in it's
context We may not condone when
involves vital surrenders.
When the German soldiers appeared
on the border OF peaceful Belgium,
every consideration of worldly selfish
ness tugged at Belgian hearts basely
to yield. They did not, and, refusing,
they dignified mankind This will BIO
the judgment of history, as no one
may doubt. Similarly we may not bend
the knee TO barbarism when II crosses
our path, even though the demand It
makes Of us may Of itself be but
slight.
