TALK ENDS; NOW FOR WAR

TT HAS been so long since accounts OF
l. actual fighting have been the leading
| features of the war news that one might
suppose the armed truce desired by
those who demand negotiations had al.
ready been established and that the feats
OF generals had given way to the talk
OF diplomats and the comments Of nov
ellsts and essayists. The chief reason
for this is the fact that the conquest of
Rumania had been expected and dis
counted since the fall Of Bucharest, and
Rumania, since the halting OF the Somme
drive, has seen the only movements of
| importance in the whole theatre Of war
But now that peace has apparently been
shelved, aggressive campaigns may be eX-
| pected.
The most ambitious objective credited
to the invaders of Rumania is that of
moving forward through Bessarabla to
the Kiev-Odessa line, with the ultimate
purpose OF controlling vast Russian grain
fields and replenIshing for an indefinite
period the food supply OF the Central
Powers. If the Teutonic military power
Is strong enough 10 do that, It is hard
to see how it can be broken on any front
save by years OF attritlon. But, in any
event, Russia is the weakest link in the
chain about the Central Powers because
of the perilous political situation at Petro-
grad. The Car and his new reactionary
Premier have thrown down the gauntlet
before the Russian Liberals and pro-
letariat. There are TO be no internal re-
forms till after the war, they boldly de-
clare, and experience has shown that the
autocracy which controls the armies is
quite capable OF engineering defeats Of
its own arms to divert attention from
domestic affairs An invasion of south
ern Russia would be a master stroke for
the Germans at this time. But scarcity
of men and the weakness and indiffer-
ence of Austria-Hungary are heavy
handicaps.
on the western front the English claim
the discovery OF new methods of trench
warfare, but the results as reported show
that the give and take is about even,
with German ingenuity offsettlng the AL,
lies advantage OF more guns and muni-
tlons. In England the political air seems
to have been cleared by the Premler's
speech and answer TO Mr.. Wilson, as
shown by the pledging of $500 600 600 to
the new war loan in four hours Much
OF this is doubtless for munitions. and
when it Is remembered that more than
1000 British factories are now turning out
shells and guns night and day. the press.
ing need for more loans soon TO follow
this one becomes apparent In view Of
the small use 10 which shells are being
put. It would seem probable that the Al
lies are piling up an immense supply OF
munitions for a new drive in the spring.
The reason ascribed in London for the
Kalser's' peace move was the fear that
return Of good weather would END the

rJNTAXED CHURCH PROPERTY

To the Editor OF the EUeHiHg Ledger:
Sir-The exemption of church property
from taxation is a denial of the fundamental
truths of democratic government II Is an
underhanded attempt TO do indirectly what
cannot be done more directly. In its essence
Il is nothing more or less than the Indirect
support of the Church by the State. il is
tine conniyanCe Of the State in the picking
of the pockets of its citizens by the Church
Every dollar Of taxation which the Church
Is allowed to dodge is 81 more laid on the
shoulders of the honest taxpayers,
Talk Of the ethical and educational at
tributes claimed for the Church Is wholly
beside the question. II is not the business
of the State TO raise its revenues only from
the baser elements of the population As
lis private citizens do not pay taxes In
proportion to their lack of yirtuous auaI-
tiles. so neither should the institutions
which enjoy state protection. Our great
philanthropists, scientists, inventors and
educators are not exempt from taxation on
the ground Of the great good they are doing
AS citizens OF the State and nation they
receive their share of social advantage and
do not whine over the fact that they are
asked to pay their quota toward the main
tenance Of those advantages for the COM
mon good. Their good deeds in addition are
voluntary and not performed IN the ex-
pectation OF being permitted 10 shirk thar
social obligation by way OF reward

SEEDS OF DECAY

THE voluptuousness Of New York at
l. the present time is said to surpass
anything the word has ever before
known. New forms of luxury tax the in.
ventive ingenuity of entertainers and
cabarets vie with one another in the
eXpensiveness of their offerings.
We are old.fashioned enough to believe
n little moral preparedness would not be
harmful in this nation, and we surmise
that national character does not thrive in
gaudy palaces Of pleasure. Fortunately,
there are tens of thousands of good Amer.
leans who are content to work, who play
only when it is time TO play, and who
take their amusements as sanely as they
discharge the important duties for which
they find themselves responsible.

ATHLETIC FIELD FOR THE
SOUTHERN HIGH SCHOOL

To the Ediior Of the EUcning Lcdgcr:
Sir-During the week before Christmas
Mr. Ellis \. Gimbel made the remark that
he was desiTous of seeing the Southern
High School in possession of an athletic
held. The newspapers then took It up, but
only for short while. and then dropped it,
Is there any doubt in your mind that
the school is sOrely in need of place where
its boys might be developed? Can il be
that many are not in accord with the idea :?
DO any doubt the merits of such wise de-
liberating? De what it may, there is deter
mination down ut the school that can only
be crowned with success. This subject is
the one that is at present occupying the
minds Of all those to whom it means some
thing. Where are those TO whom it means
nothing?
In the words of our beloved principal
Doctor Whitaker IF our boys could carry
of the football championship without even
being scored upon, a feat but duplicated
once, can you imagine what our other
branches of athletics would accomplish
We're we favored by a field where our boys
could practice" So far our basketball team
is in first place, and, with the end of the
season near, many would not be surprised
in heTalding Mike Sacks" boys as the
champions. We have developed such stars
as MaZer, ROsetslyy, Taylor and Weller
without the field Think Of fine material
gone to waste, just because the southern
section of the city is not favored
My plan would be to have the Board of
Education appealed To and asked to pur-
chase the lot at Broad street. running to
Thirteenth street, between Skunk street and
oregon avenue II could now be bought
cheaply and many thousands of dollars
saved and time bettered Let them give us
the land and we win that 1t is put in
shape and contain the implements that
such a place needs.
You ask where will We get the money
Well, Mr.. Gimbel has expressed the feeling
that he wants to be instrumental in attain
ing our project Mr.. Ware and Mr.. Finley
the friends OF all boys especially those of
the southern section, would help along AIr
Wolf, of the board. would be pleased to see
that we were not left in the cold.
Mr.. Thomas Mawhinney, of the faculty,
one who has Travelled throughout all liu-
rope, has perfected lectures entitled
Berlin" Paris" London and Mos
cow and ne would be glad to lecture for
the aid of the school. The athletic manager,
DR.. Frank Cloud and the probable man
ager of next years football team, and Mr.
Ulrich would help along with their financial
eyes Would we then not have sufficient
funds? We of the senior class, who have
lust made nearly $1,000 on our play and
dance, would be glad, l think, to forfeit our
class trip and hand it over to aid our dear
alma mater. A. LINCOLN MEYERS.
