A Division to Belgium
viii President Wilson Lead Nation
to Regain Its HONOR
To tbe Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial of Saturday, March "a,
"Send a Division to Belgium" is honorable
and practical. 1t is comforting in that sense
in which Isaiah used the word. 1t brings
sense Of reinsurance and of strengthening.
May President Wilson read it and heed it.
It points out clearly and quietly the simple
and noble way in which America can even
now regain her lost honor.
The fair name of America must be rescued,
and it will be rescued. IL is a matter which
every true American must take as matter of
personal concern, and which every sincere
American who has not anamia and cataract
will take TO heart for his own personal atten-
ton. 1t is all very we'll to talk about loyalty
to the President and standing behind him.
But for what purpose are we to stand behind
him? To follow him? Every one knows the
Kaiser best of all, that the American people
must stand behind the President TO see that
among other things he protects American
women and children. 1t is possible that
loyalty to the President might be disoyalty
to America Il is courteous to the gentle
man to talk of his patience and prudence. As
courtesy such talk has merit. But let us
consult our dictionaries and see if, as good
English, most important consideration dur
ing this Administration, the words "pru-
dence' and patience" are really consistent
with the magnificent preparation that has
been going on these two and a half years
under the wise and noble leadership of Wood
row Wilson, Josephus Daniels, and Newton
d. Baker. l. you, every American, Wilson,
Daniels and Baker, must look at this as
serious personal matter We are all cow
ards know I am, and I know that others
are. That is all right. towards have been
known to fight splenddly, to master their
cowardice and become heroes, like Leon Bar
besse. The trouble is that we Americans in
the last two and half years have got used
to cowardce. We look upon it as the nat
ural and proper thing We have been having
course of education in it as a national
ideal
America needs leader, a leader who will
lead. Woodrow Wilson occupies the official
position to which we naturally look for
leadership. Will he lead He must answer
now in his message to Congress. We should
like to look TO our President for leadership,
for we have sentiment about our Presidents.
Il is the line of George Washington, Andrew
Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Grover Cleveland,
William Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt.
But we want no leadership Of the crawiish
variety. The question is simply where are
the sovereign citizens Of America going to get
their leader

Belated Common Sense

There is a cheerfully calm utterance on
the subject Of translations which is worth
citing as the modern" school approaches
reality and its prospectus enters print.
Wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson now many
years ago: 81 should as soon think of
swimming across Charles River when |
wish to 90 TO Boston as of reading all my
books in originals when | have them rem
dered for me in my mother tongue"
With point of view not greatly diff
ferent, the proponents Of the new Lin
coin School" declare: "In connection with
history, civics, literature and art an eff
fort will be made TO ascertain whether
translations of the ancient classics, the
records and other materials of past civili-
cations, cannot be effectively used in pre-
senting the really significant contributions
of the past"
There will continue, of course, the grief
of the classicists over this use of transla-
tons. They will mourn chiefly a direct
acquaintance with Greek and Latin liter
ature-an acquaintance which, unfortu-
nately, the old language training in our
schools and colleges never got within years
of delivering. The more modest aim of
the Lincoln School prefers the attainable
reality to the unattainable ideal, reality,
incidentally, which, thanks to such names
as Jowett and Murray, is not to be sneezed
at. AS for mental training, the expert
ment proposes to ascertain whether it can
rot be obtained as efficiently in the study
of useful science as in waste language.
All of which has a ring of common sense
not unimpressive.

The German Hand in Mexico

We print on this page to-day an inter
esting international document taken from
"Simplicissimus," the wittiest and most
intelligent Of German weeklies. The issue
containing the cartoon has just reached
New York, but it was published in April,
1916. and therein lies its Importance. 1t
shows that a year ago the German mind
was noticing events below the Rio Grande
and lending cheer and sympathy to our
reighbors there. 1t suggests that the great
Zimmerman foray was no impulse of the
moment, no hasty war measure, but cal
culated move toward which German di-
plomacy, by such light as nature has given
it, had been heading for many months.

The Gentle German

If any "idiotic Yankee" does not yet ap-
preciate the sincerity of German concern
for the little nations, there is new illu-
mination for him in the announcement
from Amsterdam that Belgium has been
divided into two districts. These two dis
tricts roughly follow the division between
the Flemings and the Walloons-that is,
between the people of Teutonic and of
French stock.
Without regard to the derivation Of the
Belgians. German armies have destroyed
Louvan, which was Flemish, and Dinant,
which was French. In the murder OF
children, the dishonor of women and the
assassination of men both races stood
equal in the German eyes. Even-handed
Boche Justice distributed atrocities 10 both
races, and the methodical Germans stole
the clocks, pillaged the banks, destroyed
the furniture with that thoroughness
which will remain memory throughout
the world for a century to come.
All of this, however, is nothing but a
logical and natural manifestation of Ger
man necessity, which should neither sur
prise nor excite the world. What is of
importance for humanitarians all over the
globe to know is that the Germans have
resolved to liberate the Flemish popula-
ton from all association with the French;
to create two Belgiums in the hope that
one of them may conceive affection for
the German and hatred for the French.
We shall now have stirring pronounce
ments from Berlin of the German solicit
tude for another little people, descriptions
Of the fashion in which the Germans are
"rescuing" the Flemings, like the Poles,
the Lithuanians and equally unfortunate
peoples. Americans reading these pro
nouncements should remember that Ger
man interest in the Flemings began with
the destruction of Louvain and AerschOt,
and was continued through the lombard
ment of Antwerp up to the dispatch of
chain gangs of Flemish workmen driven
to German trenches. If any Flemings
survive the German war of liberation it
NAV be questioned whether they will hate
their liberators less than the rest of civil
lied Europe does.

An Aerial Shepherd
FROM The Worcester Telegram

IRON JHf NOrceStff IcfOTdWI
Now an American shepherd rides an aero
plane in looking after his large focks of
sheep. He says he can cover five times as
much territory in day with a flying ma
chine as with an automobile and he is
famous as an automobile driver, without re-
gard for rough places and speed in looking
after his business. The change emphasizes
two important points. An American is the
first shepherd to fly over his hocks in con-
trast with the slow methods Of the shep-
herds Of the Old World, who have afforded
much material for the poets and the makers
of pictures. And it means that sheep keep
ing pays. The aerial shepherd is ]. Stanley
Smith, of Martinsdale, Mont, and he has
more sheep than any man has personal use
for, nearly 100000 of them, and he employs
many men and dogs TO take care of the wool
growers. All these need experimenting and
the owning shepherd has been driving over
the hills for some years in his motor car
for that purpose. Now he has enlarged his
focks and his pasturing area so much that
he must hy TO look after the business.
Some men still believe there is no money in
sheep keeping in this country. and millions
of words Of encouragement are put out for
them annually by the Federal government
and the newspapers. The one flyer has them
all beaten 20 a standstll and is getting so
rich that he may have "A wireless boat 10
ride in before long.
