from The Tribune.
So far as proper preparation is concerned

TO Congress and the President.
Congress and the President are the officials
whom the people have elected to administer
the government, and they cannot shlrk tne
responsibility. They have had the amplest
warning of possible military disaster ana
have ignored the warning. II the disaster
comes upon us, the President and the lndl-
vidual members Of Congress will hs ooliged
10 bear the heavy moral responsibility for
the murders, robbcries, rapes and other deeds
Of violence inflicted by'a victorious army
upon a conquered people, to say nothing Oh
the moral responsibility for the slaughter OF
raw recruits and unframed soldiers. The
President and Congress will also be Obliged
to bear the justly merited curses OF the
parents, sisters, children and widows Of the
slaughtered soldiers who will have died with
out a sporting chance for their lives because
of the ignorance and indifference of Con-
gress.
In writing the foregoing had in mind the
statement by Light Horse Harry Lee, quoted
in "Upton's Military Policy" to the effect that
nation was guilty of the murder OF It's
citizens which put them unframed into the
field against trained soldiers.
l have given up all hope that Congress VIII
do anything adequate toward the protection
of the country, for if it could take no step
toward preparation in two years and half,
with the war devil continually staring it In
the face, it is hopeless to expect anything
reasonable from it now.
The honor and prestige Of the country are
dead, and the President and Congress appear
to have forgotten that it ever had any. Pa

State Police in Sight

Adoption of the Mills state police bill
by the Republican caucus in both houses
assures the passage of that worthy and
useful measure at this session OF the
Legislature. For that the state should
be duly grateful. It's enactment Will be
a variety of preparation for emergencies
which the state surely needs now, and
the operation of the police under this law
will give New York, beyond peradvent-
ure. better and more complete enforce
ment of law in the rural districts than
has ever before been known.
There is a certain satisfaction in the
fact that the insolent challenge OF the
leaders of organized labor to the Legs
lature has been met. Their antagonlsm
killed the bill last year. If there had
been sitter spines in the legislators the
police would now be patrolling rural
roads and doing great deal of work
which the National Guard has had to un-
dertake recently. 1t would have been
shameful if in this year, when the need
for this force is so patent and so COM
pelling, the Legislature had again truckled
to the representatives of class in the
community which seeks a special exemp-
ton from enforcement of law against Its
own misdeeds.
1t is to be hoped the bill will be put
into final shape and passed promptly. Or
ganization and equipment of force OF
this nature are bound to take some time
The less time it is before New York has
its state policemen at work, the better.
