in st. Paul's Episcopal College at To-

American Episcopal Mission. His
friends express the opinion that he was
interested in the education and con-
version of Japanese sailors and that
he visited Sokosuka merely to inquire
whether any of his acquaintance had
been killed in the explosion.

Some Possibilities

Should the Senate limit debate. and
the Presidents legal advisers decide he
has no authority to arm ships without
congressional authorization the armed
neutrality bill undoubtedly would take
first place among the measures to be
pressed by the administration at an
extra session. 1t might be urged even
if it were held unconstitutional from a
legal standpoint, in order to line up
Congress behind the President and wipe
out the adverse impression which Mr..
Wilson believes has resulted in some
quarters from the Senates failure to
act in the session just closed

How the war department can con-

female of the pacifist societies and
street screeching organizations knows
nothing of motherhood.
The woman who risks death to give
life and tolls her youth away for her
children, has above all others the So
cial and patriotic instinct of sacrifice.
Consequently, we find everywhere
mothers glorying that they can give
their sons to their country.
Mothers are the fountain head of
the race Instinctiyely they under
stand the supreme need of preserving
womanhood from the Prussian de-
spoiler.
1t is not strange the appeals OF the
warped one-sided pacifist females have
fallen on deaf ears when addressed to
American mothers.
1t requires courage to bring boy
into the world-and few women who
have borne sons have any use for

AUSTRIA UNDER SUSPICION.

Evidence secured by seizure of the
l. w. w documents will, very likely,
disclose that it has been through Aus
trian elements in this country that
Germany has been able to do things
to Uncle Sam. We may learn how
Germany has been kept SO well posted
on certain of our war movements, for
one thing, and it will probably appear
that some of our factory explosions
aud strikes were touched off by our
alien Austrians.
With such proofs in hand, it will be
hard for Uncle Sam longer to post
pone declaration of war against Ger
many's chief ally. If we can land
troops in France. we can land them in
Italy to move them against Austria.
When we get to shooting on that Ital-
ian front we surely will have to shoot
Turks and Bulgars.
At any event, the conditions Of be-
ing at war with Austria and yet not
making war with Austria cannot exist
much longer, and maybe formal dec
laration against her would mean a
great disaster to Germany, since ev-
erything indicates that Austria is sick
of the war without any shooting by
Uncle Sam. Direct backing of Italy
by the United States would be enough
to put Emperor Karl in the peace-at-
any-price class.
The prospects are strong for hotter
war rather than peace, and, as our
enemies accumulate, the stronger be
comes our necessity to suppress paci-
fism.

DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT.

Up in the northwest they accepted
q blind man for army service. 1t looks
like folly. 1t isn't; he's first class
telegraph operator, and can get along
without eyes.
In thousands of other places they're
rejecting good, big, strong men De-
cause they're ffat-footed. 1t looks like
folly. 1t is. In this war there are
no long marches. The transportation
is by rail or motor truck TIE fight
ing is mostly from trenches Aad- 4:
for retreating, well take even odds On
the fat-footed fellow, if he's properly
scared
We are going to learn at least two
things in this drafting business.
First, dozen or more of the
grounds for rejection are not hased
on good sense, because such defects
as flat-feet, hollow teeth, slightly in
perfect sight, the loss Of toe, squints
under weight, under height, etc, don't
figure in modern warfare at all
Second, the government should dc
something toward retaining the man
officially proclaimed to the world as
unfit This for the sake Of mill
tary strength and for the sake Of the
man himself 1t is safe to say that
so per cent, at least, of the unfit
could be made fit in properly conduct
ed reclamation camps, and thousands
of other rejected ones could be sent
to the front without their physica
shortcomings making particle Of
difference, one way or the other, tc
their actual service capacity. The
stigma unfit" is but little less NEAR
than that of Stacker" and yet it will
cling to thousands of fine, patriotic
young men.
