can must be on the side of the United
States"
In taking this position Mr. Bryan
takes his place alongside another con.
spicuous pacifist, Henry Ford. The lat.
ter, while deprecating war in general
as much as ever. has frankly recog.
nized the righteousness of our war and
the need of winning it, He is engaged
in the fullest cooperation with the gov
ernment, and has offered to give the
services Of his great manufacturing
plant without profit to make airplanes
or other war equipment.
Such examples throw into unpleasant
relief the activities of the men, in public
and private life who, despite their pat.
triotic professions. are still engaged in
the pernicious work Of poisoning public
opinion, interfering with the nations
purposes and giving aid and comfort
to an INSCRIPTIONS enemy. They ap.

SENATOR CORES ASPIRATION.

Dallas News: Senator Gore seems to
aspire to that evil eminence pre-empted
by Senator La Toilette. Nor can one
be sure that he has not already proved
his right to stand upon that pinnacle.
II Senator la Toilette has been more
dramatic in those exhibitions which aid
and comfort the kaiser Senator Gore
has excelled him in point Of pertinacity.
Beginning at the time when che coun.
try merely sought TO enforce an observ.
ance OF its rights as a neutral. Senator
Gore has neglected no opportunity to
enfeeble and bedevil the Efforts OF the
government to overcome its enemy. Not
a measure has been presented, from the
introduction OF the bill TO arm merchant
ships to the introduction OF the bill TO
conserve our food supplies, that II has
not been held up with an amendment
which would have emasculated the bill
10 which Il was offered. Invariably they
have been rejected, and by majorities
which preclude the idea that they were
offered with any expectation that they
would be adopted. But Senator Cores
efforts have not been fruitless. In every
instance he has succeeded in hating
these measures, and thus brought about
delays which work invariably to the ad.
vantage OF Germany and to the CORE.
spending disadvantage OF the United
States. Nor is 1t solely because Of his
greater pertlnacity that Senator Gore
has earned more OF the kaiser's graft
tude than has Senator La Toilette. Sen
ator La Toilette has been under the
duress and seduction OF constituency
whose German element is powerful
Senator Cores Difference has been 10 a
body OF men-small in number, we shall
believe for the credit OF Oklahoma

be allowed to CO. beyond that none of us
nave the right to go. We may criticise
one another's plans and actions, and we
should, but upon the condition that our

In order to win the war we must sup
port Great Britain, France, Belgium,
Russia, all our allies in every possible
way by word and deed. ANY failure
to do this on the part Of the United
states means dishonor. any failure on
the part of a citizen Of the United
States to do this means treason.
In order to win the war we must en-

man government in every way, we must
support all our most effective fighters
whether they fight with the sword or
the pen, we must uncover and expose
disaffection, we must pun out by the
roots all open or latent disloyalty. Citi-
zens Of German blood have hard task,
but noble task, to perform, they must
obey the spirit Of the Biblical injunc.

100000 FEET OF FILMS.

Probably the biggest single entertain
ment project Of modern times has beer
undertaken by the Y. NJ. C. A. in lis
recreation work for the soldiers in army
camps in this country. 1t is movies, OF
course, but movies on a bigger scale
than ever before. The Y. NJ. c. A. or
ganization has made provision for 5000,
600 feet Of films weekly. That will
cover the 1,126 programs to be given al
some 34S cantonments, camps and posts
There will be other entertainments at
smaller points, but the great demand is
made for the men of the national guard
and the national army.
In the permanent camps definite ar
.rangements can be made for outdoor and
indoor pictures. Many Of the shows in
other places, however. will be given
from motor trucks that carry from place
to place the films motion picture ma
chimes and screens that can be strung
up whenever needed.
The pictures will be farces and ro
mances, with some real war pictures
But there won't be any sob stuff OF
heroics about soldiers leaving home. The
boys don't want II. They want to be
entertained cheerfully, not held up as
heroes to be wept and walled over.
More power to the Y. NJ. C. A. movie
work!

ALIENS AND MILITARY DUTY.

Washington Star: President Wilson
stands for a scrupulous observance OF
American treaty obligations in the mat
ter Of the drafting Of aliens into the
American military service. This is a
sound position and should be maintain
ed. The United States does not need
men so badly for military duty that 1t
must treat treaties as scraps Of paper
Indeed, II would better suffer in the
field for lack of troops than to en-
croach in any degree upon the rights
Of aliens under existing international
agreements. AS a matter of fact we
do not actually need the services Of
those who are not yet American citizens
There are plenty of men able 10 fight
who are native Americans or fully ma
tionalized. At this moment the United
States is protesting through a neutral
power against a reported drafting by
Germany into military service Of Ameri-
can citizens resident there. We must
keep our hands absolutely clean in this
matter Not even if Germany should
press our nationals into service against
the international law on the subject
should America adopt this practice.
either in reprisal or as a matter Of
military necessity, so long as the trea.
ties stand as they are written.
At the same time, there should be
some amendment of the existing treaties
with nations with which the United
States is at peace to permit the enroll
ment of their nationals living in this
country. Alien residents in the United
States should either serve this country
or return home. They should not be
granted immunity from military duty
simply by reason Of their lack OF Amer
lean citizenship. This is particularly
true in the case Of the nationals OF the
allied countries at war. 1t is obvious
that equity demands that Frenchman.
an Englishman, an Italian or a Russian
living here should be subject to military
duty under either the American flag or
the flag Of his own country. There are
numerous cases Of aliens resident in
the United States who, II at home. would
be compelled TO do military duty in the
allied ranks, but under the treaties. as
they stand, they cannot be enrolled un-
der any banner so long as they remain
in this country. An alien OF a national.
ity with which the United States is at
peace should be subject to call here un-
less he prefers 10 return TO his own
land. The amendment Of existing trea.
ties TO this effect is urgently required.

FREEING THE SEAS.

1t will doubtless surprise the German
people to learn that our government is
going right ahead with its plans to ship
men and munitions to France in a steady
stream, in apparent disregard of the
U.boats that were meant to guard
against any such contingency. The
Germans were eXhorted last spring by
General Won Hindenburg to hold out
until the U.boats do their work" And
they have been holding out bravely.
What a blow, then, when they discover
that the U-boats are not doing their
work!
David Lloyd George the other day
made public the bitter truth. which
sooner or later will percolate through
Germany despite censorship. The sub.
marine campaign Is a failure. Losses
have steadily fallen since the beginning
of unrestricted warfare" at sea. In
April the British lost $4,000 tons In
July the losses fell to 100000 tons For
August they will be very much less
than that. II all the neutral ships sunk
were included. the average for the past
few months would still be less than half
the amount the German government
counted on sinking.
Indirect evidence will support these
figures, II they need support A state
ment OF our steel exports-practically
all war munitions for the allies-shows
that we have shipped more steel to
Europe in the last six months than we
did in the corresponding months last
year. and that the volume in recent
weeks has increased.
The U-boat menace has not been re.
moved, but It has been met. Great
Britain, counting her new shipping, has
not suffered a net loss OF much more
than 100000 tons altogether. And here
is the United States with building pro
gram which will provide millions Of tons
within the next eighteen months.
