NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Thirteen-
year-old Mary Gerrity, bright and
pretty. saw the streets yesterday for
the first time in more than five
months.
She had been a prisoner in the
home of her parents at No. S21 For
est avenue. the Bronx, where her
mother kept constant guard over her
night and day-never permitting
her to leave her sight and restricting
her even from the association Of chill
dTen of her nearest neighbor.
The girl had been faithful to her
school studies. and her companions
often wondered what had become OF
her. Her mother would not tell
them. and recently several Of Mary's
playInates spoke 10 her teacher, who

Cruelty TO Children. and two agents
were sent TO see the mother yester-
day.
where is Mary one of them
asked.
The mother slammed the door in
their faces. They persisted and fl
nally told Mrs. Gerrity that unless she
produced the child they would be
compelled TO arrest her. The girl
was brought out-neatly dressed and
apparently happy, although she said
she had longed for freedom. The
mother told the agents that she in
tended to keep Mary in the house IN
der guard.
'I don't want her to go out and
suffer the fate of Ruth Cruger," was
her only explanation.
Mother Is Taken to Bellevue.
Mrs. Gerrity fought when the So
ciety informed her they were going to
| take Mary from her. 1t was some
time before they succeeded in over
Dowering her. Then an ambulance
was called and she was sent to Belle
vue Hospital for observation.
At Bellevue physicians said Mrs.

UNFORTUNATE, BUT TRUE

Postmaster General Burleson, in a statement rel
alive to the attitude Of the government toward papers
containing improper. matter, made mention Of Socialist
papers. He said that 1t was not the purpose Of the post
office department to exclude Socialist papers from the
mails unless they contained reasonable or seditious mat
ter, but he added that most Socialist papers do contain
such matter.
Naturally it is not the business of the postoffice de-
partment or any other branch of the government to med
die with a newspaper or an individual merely because of
the preaching Of an economic doctrine which may or may
not be sound. Such matters will right themselves II
given an opportunity. But when under cover Of eco
homie theories the government of the nation is attacked,
either directly or indirectly, it is hampered in the work
with which 1t is charged. and which it must perform,
then it is time for the government to step in and silence
the offender completely and effectively. W.
For some reason the Socialist propaganda has been
a popular one with the enemies Of American institutions,
and the preaching Of Socialist doctrine has been made
the means of or the excuse for a campaign for which Sc
dition is a mild term. And the agitators, like others of
their kind from time immemorial, have sought to con-
fuse the issue by crying aloud for freedom Of speech
when what they really desire is freedom to strike at the
very foundation of the government.
There is nc SUCH freedom in any country that has a
government There can be none here. In this country
any man is free to advocate any sort Of economic policy
that pleases him. But that freedom does not extend to
waging war. whether with rifles or with tongues. on the
government, and on the nation for whose service that
government exists.

FOOD CONSERVATION

In the effort that is being put forth through govern
ment agencies for the conservation of food no sacrifice
Is asked Of the American people that will entail the out
lay OF money or the impairment Of personal welfare.
The people abroad who are fighting in our war.
and who were making great sacrifices long before we be-
gan. are in need of food. For their sakes. for our sakes.
for the sake of the world, they must be fed. OF most of
the food products we have produced abundantly. We
are asked. not to give to our allies, but to sell to them.
at good prices. which they will pay willingly, so much
OF our abundance as we can spare after our own needs
have been met. And the American government through
its food administration, asks that by means Of wise use
and the elimination of waste, we shall make that surplus
as large as possible.
No American is asked to deprive himself Of food.
There is to be no stinting. But we are asked to use the
results from every ounce consumed, that there may be
more to spare for those who are in need.
Next week is Food Conservation week. and during
that week an effort will be made to pledge the house
holders Of all the land to study attentively the advice
and suggestions that will be made by the food admins
tration relative to the wise use Of food, and to be guild
ed thereby as far as the circumstances of the individual
will permit. So far as the individual is concerned that
is not much to ask. He himself will be benefited rather
than injured. But If the response is what it should be
the result will be tremendous in the addition that will
be made to our available surplus, and to the effectiveness
OF the nations upon whose strength, as well as on COR
own, we must rely for the right ending of this war.
