Enemies Within
The Civil Liberties Bureau Does Not
Indorse All Its Allies
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Our attention has been called TO
your article on the Civil Liberties Bureau
OF the American Union Against Militarism,
in to-day's issue under the title Enemies
Within
Il is indeed a remarkable tribute to the
Civil Liberties Bureau that, in the midst
Of war and its passion, you can hnd nothing
to criticse in the many utterances OF the
personnel OF It's governing committee or its
specific activities. Your attack is entirely
confined to the publication OF extracts from
magazines OF various radical organizations
with which YOU say the Civil Liberties Bureau
is associated.
Il is true that the first publication OF the
Civil Liberties Bureau stated that the bureau
was cooperating with representatives Of other
organizations, radical and otherwise, when
sought to defend the conscientious director.
II our work were to be efficient, 1t was, OF
course, necessary that we should know the
point of view Of all the radical organizations
from whose ranks would arise conscientious
directors. advocates Of free speech and others
whose liberties are especially imperilled IN
war time Even so, the Civil Liberties Blu
reau ut all times controlled its own policies
and bore no organic relations TO any other
organization except the American Union
Against Militarism.
Members of our committee feel that IN
war for democracy there is no more patriotic
duty than to keep democracy alive at nome.
Democracy rests upon discussion, upon those
ancient American liberties, freedom OF con-
science, Of the press and of assemblage. AS
far as the Civil Liberties Bureau is con-
cerned we have tried, not without some
measure of success, to maintain these rights
by friendly conferences with government Of
fcials
When men stand for freedom of speech they
do not necessarily uphold everything that
every speaker says. In the struggle Tor tri-
umph over Germany your own paper has well
coined the alliance of the minority Socialists
of America with great enthusiasm. But II
does not follow that you are therefore con-
verified to the Socialist doctrine OF Messrs.
Russell, Spargo, Walling and others Neither
does il follow that the Civil Liberties Bureau
of the American Union Against Militarism is
a convert TO anarchy because it stands for
the ancient American liberties and is obliged
in its struggle to keep in touch with all or
CARNATIONS which are likely to suffer under
the growing theory OF Prussianism at home.

Our Cherished Brigands

Various motives doubtless combine to
disarm blood-thirsting patrons and pro
tect the lives of hat-check boys and
maidens from humiliation. How many
upifted arms have been restrained by a
sheer sense of convention. Americans
are for the most part sheep in this de-
generate age. Put the raweSt oil man
from Oklahoma in one of our palaces-on-
the American plan, and he will lose all his
proudest, toughest edges in a week. From
scowlng at the hat boy he rapidly achieves
that negligent, blase gesture with which
the sophisticated drop a dime as if 1t
were decoration into the impudent,
blankety blank, outstretched palm. We
may grind our teeth in secret and perhaps
write a letter to our newspaper-if we
don't forget on the way downtown. There
we rest. AS for anything as mussy as
murder, it is quite unthnkabe
Beyond the restraining influence Of con-
vention, however, and beyond even ten
derness of heart-for doubtless hat boys
and hat girls are human, and who knows
what sweet natured side the little
brigands may show at home and beyond
also sheer laziness and inertia, we suspect
there is one other rather important factor
which handcaps Americans in dealing
rightly with this problem. That is sort
of national amusement at being done, pro-
vided the doing is sufficiently neat. We
like to think that American business has
progressed beyond the days Of wooden
nutmegs. And for the most part 1t has.
Yet some traditional memory of Yankee
shrewdness seems to have fingered on to
color our point of view even if it does not
corrupt our product.
The process of separating a diner-out
from his hat-check dime has just the
qualities which this national weakness
admires. It is swift, agile and grotesquely
lmpudent. Just how impudent the current
lawsuit in Brooklyn discloses. a con-
cessionaire was revealed as offering no
less than $4,000 for years right to the
hat-check privilege in this cafe. That
was in Brooklyn, too. In Manhattan the
disproportion of the charge to the expense
is undoubtedly more preposterous. An
even more interesting item was the fact
that the hat-check boys were accused by
the restaurant itself Of not treating
patrons with equal courtesy. Non-tppers
were jeered at or grimaced at. To be sure,
the restaurant announced its desire of
ending this discrimination. But hat-check
boys are human and the ways of impu-
dence are subtle. Brooklyn, we guess,
will not do much better than Manhattan
A custom that most Americans take as
a piece of annoying but amusing trickery
will be slow in passing. Everybody con-
spires to perpetuate it, and the occasional
hero with crouch and a will sufficient to
bring him to impale himself upon the
whitening bayonet glances of hat room
squad dies a lonely and useless death
There is nobody so foolish as a wise
people

The Vagrant Canine
AS a Thief and Home He Deserves
Extinction
To tho Editor Of The Tribune

To tho Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: lnhumane or not, must say Il: DO
not own a dog. But there are plenty of dogs
, in the vicinity; they trespass, so feel that I
help considerably in their upkeep. But I'd
like to own a dog. There are even times when
would like to own others dogs, if only for
a short time, certain evenings If had a
dog, I'm sure no dog would ever eat anything
but soup and soup bones, ever do any damage,
ever have hydrophobia, ever get ugly and /
suppose my dog would be standing by in tear
ful distress if should meet death
Constantinople, famous for its dogs,
boosted few humans who were endeared to
one single canine specimen, and few were the
specimens worthy of endearment And,
strangely enough perhaps, notice that none
of your correspondents champion this, the
homeless dog; and few of those who have
dogs champion any others dogs. On the
other hand those who have cast aspersion on
the canine character in general have not beer
llbellous toward any special dog. In short
none have defended the vagabond cur. As a
vagabond, and therewithal a thief and homo
for dangerous mcro-organisms he deserves
extinction. Extinction as a vagrant may
mean either adoption as a member of the
family or condemnation TO the fertilizer
plant, preferably the latter as more perma.
nent. Now, | understand from the letters
CT these dog lovers that they are sincere in
their passion for the creatures; therefore few
Of these writers and dog lovers will object 20
adopting few of these stray dogs many Of
! them will be glad OF the suggestion, and nc
one will miss the Migrants
As for food conservation, let US trust that
We will never have to eat dog" To guard
against such disaster, we ought to conserve
our present food supply. Possibly the NAV
OF the incinerator is for New Workers no
better than the nav of the house dog, but
neither should receive what can be stretched
20 consideration as food for humans In
smaller cities and in the country there is no
excuse whatever for the leftovers going to
the dogs. Support l75-egg hen or grow a
9-Pound capon on these same eftovers.
AS said. do not cwn dog would like
TO acquire one that is silent, loving, trusty,
toothless, and which never has mango, feas,
puppies or an appetite. KAPPALPHA.

Law in discussing war credits yester-
day took occasion to pay high tribute
to the United States for the important
part which it is now playing in the
war against Prussian autocracy and
to indorse President Wilson's policy
in keeping his country out of the con-
flict so long as he did. He laid stress
on the fact that by so doing the
United States was better able to help
and was now helping more efficiently
than it otherwise could have done and
was now all the more to be valued as
an ally.
Dillon had criticized the Saloniki
expedition before Law spoke. He said
the British army had been democrat
lied by 10 months spread amongst
pestilential surroundings and wanted
to know if Serbia had been deserted.
To this Cecil replied that billions
charge as to the Saloniki campaign
was utterly false and that there was
no intention of deserving the Serbian
allies He insisted that it was intend,

would be left unfulfilled, including the

MEN RUSHING TO
COLORS ON COAST,
SAYSLOCAL Girl

Honolulu hac not come TO q full
realization of the war" says a local
young woman who recently returned
from the mainland. There is one
big thought uppernost in the minds
of the people on the mainland, ana
this how to help in the war work.
"Hundrews Of young men are rush
ing to the training camps, and the
college men of last year are more
than doing their share in filling places
in the ranks. Everywhere there is
a military air. The Fairmont, st.
Francis and Palace hotels are crowd
ed with young men in military uni
forms on Saturday afternoons. The
leading hosteIries have made special
rates for the young men at the Pre-
sidio and everything possible IL done
to promote enlistment ~
Society girls have but one thought
in mind, and this is in assisting IL
the work. Pink ribbon effects have
been discarded, and the young lady
who Is found doing anything but knit
for the enlisted men and officers is
bound to be very much ashamed.
Sweaters are being knitted by the
young ladies in Seattle, Portland ana
San Francisco, and all are enthusiast
tic. 1t is wonderful to see the work
that has been accomplished by the
women Of the Pacific coast.
There Is a general military air
about the populous centers on the
Pacific coast Which is lacking in
Honolulu. One. goes to parties and
finds the majority Of young men IN
uniform, and the hotels are crowded
With the military.
The. Navy League has arranged To
sell wool at cost to all who wish to
assist in the work of knitting sweat
ers, and hundreds of young ladies
have taken advantage Of this fact Il
seems so different coming back to
Honolulu, the home of the largest
post in America, and find so little
thought Of the war and the warwork
Honolulu is as willing to do her Bit
but the war has not been carried
home to the islands. When it is, it is
certain that Honolulu will be as re.
sponsive to the call as any other city
under the American flag" she con.
