POLICE ARE STILL AT SEA

George w. Wright, 1908 Jackson

slain Saturday night by bandits, has
been freed. The abb he offered, when
checked up carefully by detectives,
proved his innocence without a doubt,
and he was permitted TO leave.

Discipline VS.. What ?

It's queer American who is not get
ting little discipline, of one kind or an
other out of the war. Either because we
enlist and put ourselves under somebody's
direct control, or because we take charge
ourselves and save and manage and spend
on a stricter basis than ever before, we
are all being trained and ordered and
regulated. 1t will be new and disci-
plined America, in some degrees at least,
that will emerge from these years Of trial
Yet we own 20 a weakness for Ameri-
can free-and-easness, and we hope that
the war will leave US long way short of
the old British strictness Of manners and
customs, for example. incidentally, that
British rigidity is losing out in the war,
according to the observers, and new
freedom Of mind and action has been
gained by the workmen and clerks of
England who have faced fate in the
trenches. The war is apparently loosen
ing bonds there, precisely as it is creating
new sense of orderliness and obligation
here.
What we have in mind as worth pre-
serving here is probably the very quality
which the war is teaching to Englishmen
"a certain regardlessness for custom and
tradition when they hamper worthwhile
individuality. Imagination, personality,
adaptability-we like TO think that these
are all American qualities, and we feel
sure that, such as they are, they are too
ingrained for any years of military dis
cipline to destroy.
Perhaps the comradeship of the West
ern front will help all hands 80 a better
mean of living. We have much to learn
from the French and from the British.
There are some points in which we proba-
bly, excel A million Americans in France

The Health Of the Army

DR. Pcorcc Bailey. in Jaly HGrpcr'S
Figures derived from the medical depart
ment Of our army offer a striking contrast
between the old and the new ways of check
mating preventable diseases Typhoid fever,
one-time scourge of all large collections
Of men, has practically ceased 10 exist
in controlled communities. During eight
months in 1898, the time OF the Spanish
American War, nearly one-seventh of the
United States Army was rendered useless by
typhoid infection. There were 20,926 cases
with 2,192 deaths. out of 1878 regulars and
volunteers. During the year 1915 there were
eight cases in the total American army, and
during the period between May !, 1916. and
October s, 1916, Colonel Chamberlain in
forms us, among 10000 troops which served
in border camps throughout the Southern
department and in Mexico there were only
twenty-four cases, with no deaths. The med
zeal measures which to-day maintain an
army's lighting strength are the sanitation
of camps, screening against flies and mos
quitoes, ventilation of sleeping quarters and
the use Of preventive serums and vaccines
All of these are of the utmost military sig
nihcance, because they insure officers and
men for duty and, also because they save
time and RESOURCES which would otherwise
go to transportation and care. The gain in
effectiveness becomes readily apparent on
comparing the current report OF the Sur
geon General of the United States Army with
the reports running through the last ten
years In 1915 the non-effective rate for the
entire army from all causes was 25.22 per
900 (for disease alone, 2O.s5), while in 1906
il was 47.S6 per 900

people said a Chicago Croatian, "and that
is ar education in Crostian nationalist"
There IS one paramount question which
every German-American must ask himself,
wrote Freiherr Ernst Won Wolzogen, the
dramatist and poet, "Shall help to hasten
the development Of this mongrel parasitic
cosmopolitanism or shall work with all my
strength against it,"
"The chief thing our people learn in Amer
ica," said a Vlach sis Rumanian national
ism. Up in our mountain villages Rumania
is very far from US. Here, where all of
Rumanian speech are exiles together, Ru-
mania is very near"
Every student Of our mixed population has
given us evidence of the same yearning TO
preserve the spiritual inheritance Of the old
country. Miss Jane Adams, Edward Steiner
and Miss Frances Kellor have written books
on the subject, based on a lifetime Of obser-
foreign-lsnguage newspapers in our country
in recent years. We are caught in the world
movement toward the recovery Of that spirit
ual heritage nationality, and each one Of the
dispersions in our commonwealth is stirred
by that all-potent instinct of nationality. II
is time to lay aside our talk about the Amer
lean melting pot, that Mrs. Harris Of the
Anglo-Saxon imagination.
The melting pot has been tried before It
was tried for seven hundred years in Ireland.
Germany practised it on Schleswig, Poland
and Alsace Lorraine The melting is done in
several ways-by big guns. by industrial
steam roller, by religious persecution, by
suppression of the language. What il means
is anti-Jewish movements. the A. P. A., scorn,
oppression, and finally war. Our militsrists,
our financial oligarchy, all friends of rul-
ing class and a caste system, arc in favor Of
it. Thin radical thought, the same sort OF
radcalsm that has been pro-German, is all
in favor of the melting pot. These modern
futurist thinkers, who scorn nationality and
talk about the New America and humanity,
favor it, just as they favor many other I'M
democratic things. What the people really
want offends them. The American Jews
really want racial consciousness, a spiritual
nationality, and are proving it by their Zion
ist movement. The American Irish really
want q free homeland. Everywhere the ma
tionalties of the world are asserting their
right TO their own tradition. With peculiar
force they are asserting this right in our
own country. But to all of this great in
stinctive stirring Of the people our aris.o-
Gratis, whether radical or Tory, are indiffer-
cnt. II they are Jews they sneer at Zionism
II they are of English descent they speak Of
fellows of the baser Sort when they de-
scribe our immigrants from Southern and
Southeastern Europe.

baked of its prey will return. There will
be no peace until that tiger is killed. The
German idea is borrowed from the wild
beast; il must be treated as one treats
the wild beast.
This world cannot exist half German
and half civilized. There can be no per-
manent peace IN this world while one
great nation processes the doctrine which
Germany has professed and still pro-
fesses. As long as one nation believes
that it has the right, if it has the power,
TO mark its colors in blood over provinces
and cities beyond its frontiers; as long as
a nation believes that it has mission to
impose its will as far as its sword can
reach and its artillery carry, only the
blind can see hope of peace and only the
foolish will talk Of compromise.
We are coming to the end Of the third
year of the war. We have been already
saved from the worst of the German peril;
we shall not be enslaved; we shall! not be
conquered; We shall not be Germanized.
But there remains the work to be done for
our children; there remains to be COM
pleted the task which has been undertaken
that what has threatened US may not
threaten them. All that was sweet and
beautiful and happy in the life of this gen
GRAFTON of mankind has gone out on the
battlefelds. The youth of France, of
England, of Italy, of Russia, lies buried
on the soil of the frontiers or along the
marches of the lands that Germany sought
to subjugate We shall not in our time,
however soon peace comes now, see the
scars disappear or see return the world
we lived in and believed in three years
ago. o.
This thing Germany has done to us and
to the world. 1t is time to have done
forever with this German thing. There
can be no peace while those who control
Germany remain faithful to that purpose
and those principles which have trans
formed Europe into a charne house;
which have brought ruin to the oldest
monuments of our civilization and destruc-
ton to the fairest fields of our earth,
which have sought to repeal all that has
been gained in sweetness and light since
the Dark Ages. We must 60 forward to
the end, and we must perceive that there
can be no end short of victory and COM
plete destruction of this German idea.
We have sent to France the advance
guard of our manhood, as we shall send
hereafter the divisions and armies Of our
youth. In doing this we have proven that
the America of old lives. We have an
swered present" at the rollcall of the
nations that love liberty and serve justice.
We have not broken new ground we have
returned to the trenches our fathers and
our forefathers held against those who
sought to enslave them. Our work is be-
ginning. There was never a more glorious
morning in our history than that which
saw our flag in France. But it was the
morning of long day, and it is for all of
us now to remember that the America
which came to US as an ideal must be
transmitted to our children, that it may
be for them what it was and is again for
us, and that there may be no fresh Ger
man onslaught and no new attack of
scientific barbarsm on a world civilized
and unarmed.
