The war is ON.

The President has decided to arm
merchant ships. This is declaration
Of war, which Congress- 10 TO ratify on
April 10th. Under the constitution the
Congress ought to declare war but the
American Congress is under Wilson no
longer a coordinate but . subordinate
branch OF our Government. The war is
to be waged for the freedom Of the
seas and to be fought in alliance with
the Allies. These champions of the free,
untrammeled oceans have caused the
President to address them several
dozens OF notes protesting against their
outrageous suppression of American
rights on the seas. To fight with those
who are depressing US to vindicate our
rights, gives the tragedy of war a conf
cal aspect, which were amusing if we
were not compelled to think OF the
alarming consequences. When Congress
assemblies to ratify the war initiated by
MIR. Wilson, they will be invited and
Will, of course, respond cheerfully to
the demand OF several billions to carry
OH the war The Allies who are in sore
need OF money, their expenses amour
ting to hundred millions a day, have al
ready been invited to help themselves
to the funds in our banks, but this will
he no more than drop in the bucket,
hence Congress will be asked to pledge
the American credit in behalf of the
Allies for number OF additional bill
lions. Our gold reserves win be CON
verted into paper reserves, our sur
plus will become q tremendous deficit.
But there are other duties we owe to
the Allies. They are in need of bread
as badly as in need of money. 1t is
true that our supplies Of grain are
alarmingly low, but We cannot permit
our Allies to starve. This entails on
us the duty to send them every bushei
of grain we have on hand. Our star
y iHS VIII tueI tohiioi
in the fact that they are assisting
England to establish still firmer her
lordship over the seas, for when Ger
many is out of the way there is no
other nation on earth to challenge
Englands supremacy.
But still brighter things are in sight.
The Allies would feel thankful if we
sent them million men. This leaves
no other choice but to introduce univer-
sal military duty, and then our boys
will be sent to the trenches to bleed
Ind die for English sea-power and Rus
sian despotism. Anyone who says that
ihe European nations should fight their
,wn battles stands chance to 60 to
all. So we win cheerfully submit and
light along and shout hurrah for King
George and Gar Nicholasl America is
'nly in it to pay and to bleed.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-09-04
Two Specials

On Thursday three persons watched a
special train leave for the West. On it
were sixty-nine pacifsts-some anti-war
al their lives, others recent converts
going somewhere to plead for a German
peace. Just where they were going they
cid not know. What they would do when
they got there they did not know. They
did know they were on their way.
On Sunday another special train left for
the West. To see it off five thousand per-
sons jammed the Grand Central Terminal
Iconcourse, the balconies and other open
spaces. There was music and there were
cheers. There was certainty as to the des-
tination of those whose principles the
crowd had come to cheer. There was no
uncertainty as to what they would do when
they got there. There was no room for
doubt as to how they would do it. Repre-
senting the loyal labor movement Of
America, these pilgrims were on their way,
not to attempt the hamstringing Of Uncle
Sam, but to meet with other loyal laborers
in Minneapolis and there demonstrate to
the world in general, and to Germany in
particular, that in this crisis the enemy
must not count on aid and comfort from
the American workman.
Thursdays special and Sundays special
stood for two distinctly different things.
Together they tell the world how New
York stands on the question Of German
peace; tell it as completely as the break
down of the pacifst drive on the Middle
West tells the world where that great sec
ton stands.

American Sense Distrusted
Otherwise Action Would Not Have
Been Taken Against Pacihsts

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Those who, like your present CORE
spond.nt, are most completely opposed 70 tne
nurnoses and methods Of the Peoples Peace
Council should also surely be the first TO
deplore and condemn the action Of three
Western Governors In abrogating in their
states the right Of orderly assemolage for the
discussion Of a public question. DO not
here raise any issue Of justice or constItu-
tional rights; I raise only the issue OF COM
mon sense and expedency. 1t is time that all
those who have to deal with these matters
realized few elementary truisms that pear
upon them:
I. The best way to give dignity and infu-
ence to an Unbalanced fanatic VINO would
otherwise possess neither is to make mar
tyr of him.
.. II is A peculiarly grstuitous and per-
ricious error of policy for those who have
good cause to present so TO act as TO give
plausible ground for the suspicion that their
caus. cannot bear the test of open argument
but must rely upon force to silence its critics
2 There never was better argument than
that which can be advanced for Americas
nersistence in the war until it has been made
as certain as human effort can make 1t that
the coming world-order will not be dominated
by Prussia and the spirit and tendencies or
which the present Prussan state Is the en-
bodiment, nor be threatened with any re-
REVEAL Of the unspeakable disaster which that
spirit has now brought upon mankind.
L. The majority of the American public IS
entirely capable of recognizing the force OF
such an argument when plainly and ade-
quately presented
5. II is also eminently capable OF recog-
MIXING foolish and futile persons for what
they are when it sees them; and the more II
sees Of them the more certain the recogni-
ton. Il has seldom had the prospect OF a
better opportunity to exercise this faculty
than on the occasion OF the proposed gather
ing Of Mr.. Louis Lochner, his former fellow
voyagers of the Ford peace expedition and
his more recently acquired associates.
One is sometimes compelled TO suspect mat
those who would deny ordinary freedom OF
speech TO these fatuous propagandIsts really
fear their propaganda. Such fear can only
arise from a distrust OF the good sense OF
the average American. But ii we are fighting
in the name of democracy, let us have
little of that faith without which no belief in
democracy is intelligible-the faith that, at
least upon broad and simple moral issues the
mass of our countrymen will see straight
and feel soundly so long as they are per
mitted TO face those issues freely and TO dis
cuss them openly.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Fine, heroic and thrilling as is the
announcements that the Allied aystors will
distribute the Presidents reply TO the Pope's
peace message. translated into German, as
far as possible in the enemies territory, yet,
as former empioye of the United States
Weather Bureau, my knowledge of the pre-
vailng upper air currents makes me suggest
a method of distributing said reply which
would obviate the risks and hazards to the
airmen, who are so important a factor at
present on the fronts.
For many years the Weather Bureau has
taken records of upper air conditions. even
as high as ten miles, by means Of attaching
self-recording instruments to small balloons
inflated with Illuminating gas or hydrogen
and setting them free 10 rise and drift with
the prevailing currents notice of reward
for the return Of said balloons and attached
instruments, when found debated anywhere,
has brought many Of them back.
Why not use ones of similar type, or
even some of the old Montgolfer hot air
type fire heated, with an attached clock
arrangement. which would be easy for any
good mechanic 70 construct, that would hold
in container thousands of copies Of said
Presidential message, 70 be released at a
given moment, or perhaps elaborated so that
constant showering Of them would occur
as the free balloon drfted miles high across
enemy territory?
The prevailing winds on the West front
would be just right and the expense of a
score Of balloons would scarce equal that
Of one aeroplane, TO say nothing OF eliminat-
ing the loss Of aviators' lives, which are
most precious asset at present.
II is even possible that the box kite could
be used for the immediate front in similar
manner. HAROLD c. MANNING.
