Following Americas Leadership

NY/HEN the United States first entered The
w war, the allies. by common consent
turned to the President of the American re-
public as the logical and unanswerable spoles-
man of their cause as well as our own. Mr.
Wilson's message TO Congress sounded the
keynote OF war. His lator message to tho
Pope sounded the keynote of peace These
memorable utterances gave the United States
sort OF premiership among its war asso-
ciates in pronouncing tho judgments of the
whole group.
Now America seems about to take the lead
In the actual operations of all the armed
forces of the entente, and is being deferred
to by all the powers in alliance against Ger
many rs the potential influence which is to
bind all of them into closer union. In tho
first instance, 1t was superb spokesmanshp
that the allies recognized; in the second, it
is masterful leadership which they are will
ing to accept.
Take the case of the British government
Premier Lloyd George found himself in con-
fict with very powerful element OF the
House Of Commons when he returned from
the delivery OF his Paris speech. All the
London correspondents agreed that he was
facing an acute crisis. and that. only heroic
measures could save his regime from over
throw. But this astute parliamentarian had
trump card to play and he played 1t when
he announced to the British people and the
British Commons that the program for a
compact war council had the support of the
American government. This move had al
most magical effect. The opposition to Lloyd
George subsidel for the time. The crisis
was passed. He was neither compelled to
retreat nor to suffer a parliamentary reverse
His government was given a new lease upon
power, and it may endure for an indefinite
period. But it is unlikely that 1t would have
survived twentyfour hours il the British pub
lie had not felt profound confidence in the
wisdom of the American government.
The same degree of confidence In America
and Americas war purposes is felt in France
The Painleve regime had no Woodrow Will
son procurement, however, to rescue it
from its opposition. The issue between the
late Premier and the Chamber Of Deputies
was not with which the United States
was remotely concerned NJ. Painleve, there
fore, was overthrown and his administration
dissolved. But M. Clemenceau is buttressing
his regime upon the general plan of concert
which President Wilson has proposed. and
the French people are satisfied.
These events in international relationships
carry with them a peculiar tribute to the
United States. The Difference which our allies
pay us In these particulars is not based upon
our ability to feed or munition them or even
to REINFORCE them in the field. It proceeds
from an abiding respect which this govern
ment has earned by the whole-hesrted manner
in which NE have thrown ourselves into
the war.

To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:

agree fully with all that has been said
about the necessity OF avoiding any
tle-up OF transportation in war time.
The President has appealed to the la
Dor unions to avoid strikes during this
crisis. and public opinion will not back
any arbitrary effort on the part OF
the men to make unreasonable de-
mnnds.
The government must 80 a step fur

1t Is surprising that the railroad men
have not had tho sense to see this for
themselves. They have yielded inch
after inch to the well-organized broth
erhoods. but the clerks who. up to this

What Is Nonessential?

T may be comparatively easy matter for a
i group OF railroad presidents and tradic
managers to sit around table and pick out
500 articles OF merchandise which they re-
gard as nonessential to the conduct of the
war or the welfare OF the country. But It
Is not so easy for great government to pro-
nounce judgment upon a matter SO vital as
the prohibition of a nonessential prod uct
from transportation.
Such prohibition, OF course, means that
the business concerned Is paralyzed Not
even corner grocery or a shoe shine parlor
could maintain itself II all sources of trans
portation were cut of. There is literally
nothing local in this country; nothing that
can live wholly unto itself Certainly there
Is no business enterprise that could survive
twenty-four hours II it could neither receive
goods nor ship them. When the soyernn ent.
therefore, launches upon a policy of barring
certain commodities from transportation. IL
must know that II is about 70 ruin whom
ever may be engaged In the prod uetion OF
those articles or those who live by their
sale There can be no mistaking the eject
OF such an embargo, and. OF course, the gov
eminent will have no mistaken view of 81
The administration will understand fully the
responsibility involved IN any policy OF this
sort
Because of the possibility OF grave COME
quences. 1t is morally certain that the govern.
ment Will not, in any event delegate TO the
railroads or to any other private interests the
determination OF what businesses ia this
country are noneescntial. The railroads NAV
offer advice just as anybody else may give
advice. but the government itself must be
the final judge Of what is essential to the
welfare Of the country and what lie 90 un
essential that 1t may be suspended for the
period OF the war without LOSE 70 the nation
whole.

FAREWELL.

BY II. G.. Lambert.
TITS not, dear heart. that I would ever
seek
To leave thy side whose presence
love best.
But would you have your lover act tho
weak
Or shrink before tho final rigid test?
The call has come to oil of US to-day
To serve the greatest cause for which
men ever died.
The call has come for women now to
work and pray
And put all thought OF self and fears
aside.
Let not our parting. then, be dimmed
with tears.
Nor married by many a lons-drawn
sigh;
We both must rise triumphant over
fears
And plant rose of promise on tho
grave wherein they lie.
For life will have no value unless we
freely give
All that we are or have, that liberty
shall live:
That liberty shall live, my dear, for
our children yet to come;
And so we must pay the price until tho
victory's won.
To us the priceless boon Of service
now is given.
We gladly serve each in our proper
place. not driven,
But stanch, upheld by faith in God and
in the cause,
We each will do our part. will each
uphold the laws
OF God and man. We serve with
boundIess Joy and pride
The sacred cause for which our fathers
died..
We count no loss. nor will our efforts
fall
Our cause Is just. and Justice must
prevail.
So then farewell. my love; yours Is tho
greatest sacrifice:
Yours Is the greatest pain. tho greatest

When, Prussian might and power swept
