To You, My Brother, Wherever
You May Be: | do not know
your name, tits true, nor who you
are, nor what. you do, nor wheth-
er you are large or small or dark
or fair. or short or tall 1t mat
ters not--I know that you are
brave and strong. Your voice
Your eye is clear. You represent
what we hold dear. Were this not
so, feel somehow you would not
be where you are now. You
would not risk your life and more
to fight foe on foreign shore.
You are the type of which we're
proud You tower four square
above the crowd. Your mind Is
clean. Your thoughts are high.
You know no fear in earth or sky.
Ten thousand kaisers could not
force you not to steer an honest
course. No threat nor bribe nor
iron hand could make you heed
foul command. You loathe the
thing that has been done by
shameless, fiendish, obscene Hun.
He does his work with unclean
hands. Your code forbids what
his demands.
Thus do you stand before the
world. and from your banner now
uDfurIed your slogan CLEANS that
all may see you fight for home and
liberty--for home and those you
love the best, for little babies in
their nest, for mothers here, and
those above, for sisters, sweet
hearts, wives whose love cries out
in terror as they glance at Bleed
ing Belgium, famished France.
Go to 1t, son, Gods on the job,
and every heartache, every throb
OF agony in his good time will be
avenged, and then sublime will
come the Joy of lasting peace
when battles end and horrors

DRAFTING THE ALIENS.

The state department vii 10w lay before
congress its treaties with allied powers authoriz-
ing the reciprocal drafting OF the citizens of
one country residing III the other. This has
been felt 10 be highly desirable, and bills TO
that end were introduced in congress at the last
session. 1t was thought better, however, to
come to an understanding on the subject with
the other powers; and the promise Of the
state department to negotiate these treaties,
legislation was delayed
We have scores of thousands here from the
United Kingdom Canada, Italy whom we can
not draft and who decline to go back and belp
their own nations to fight the war. Many of
them shlrkers whose one concern is
to stay here, escaping service under anv
flag, and step into paying positions made
vacant by our boys who have gone to the front

NOT A DANGER TO EDUCATION.

Winthrop Talbot, writing in the December
Century, warns American educators to seek
clear vision of the lessons the war affords and
come to balanced judgment in particular on
what is to be learned from German education.
England and France long since determined that
certain phases of German education must be in
modified form grated upon their school sys-
TENS; these phases were the means used to pro-
duce working efficiency to each product of
public education; the provisions against leav

The war found this nation in the process of
evolving a new place for vocational education
In its school systems Commercial needs had
already supplied prod to education to pro-
duce more efficient ability to do and to think
in public school systems. The war has added
a stimulus and Mr.. Talbot sees danger that
We shall turn too much to specified training; to
the ''class and kind'' methods of German edu-
cation But there seems really no danger of
this. Along with the evidence of German
working efficiency has come the evidence of
German loss of Independent thinking, of
warped moral view and of serviity to mere ma
terial concessions from autocratic control. The
Germans serve efficiently government that
gives them daily bread; they fight for that gov
eminent under the promise Of more. bread if
they win But such an education presupposes
a motive in control and ability to fulfill the
motive. We have neither the motive nor the
power to make it effective to fear in this
country.
