On the Way to Safety
campaigns.

Secretary McAdoo has issued an order
erecting the liquidation of the German
and enemy-ally fire, marine and casualty
insurance concerns operating in this coun-
try. Life insurance companies are to be
allowed to continue in business because
their business is small and is disconnected
with war activities.
This decision comes late. 1t was
one the necessity for which has been
recognized for many months. There was
conspicuous lack of prudence and ration
atty in permitting enemy companies to
insure or reinsure docks, munitions plants,
mills, storage warehouses and other struct-
ures in which war preparations were
going on. After much delay German
marine insurance was put under the ban.
Put only the concerted pleas of American
insurance men able to comprehend and
present the peril Of enemy participation
in risks on our war industries availed to
shake the government out of its languid
attitude Of tolerance.
We have trusted to luck largely to
escape paying toll to German incen-
diarism and sabotage. So far we have
been fairly lucky. But it is time to back
UP our luck with little more healthy dis
trust and little more vigilance. German
agents here are still uncowed. We are just
beginning to ticket them and to circum-
scribe their liberty. But we have given
their allies-Austrians Hungarians, Bull
garians and Turks-as free hand now as
we gave them before the war. If enemy
ally insurance companies are as much a
menace as German insurance companies
are-and Mr.. McAdoo comedies this in
principle-then we ought to begin at once
to ticket the enemy-ally nationals here
and to limit their opportunities to betray
and injure US.
Let us hope that there will be some
genuine restraint imposed before long on
the enemy aliens within our borders-a
restraint which does not reside in verbal
proclamations and Department Of Justice
surveillance, but in the peremptory use of
military force

Lock them up. Better still, force them to

But there Is another foreign-bon element
which deserve protection that should be
taken into consideration. am speaking OF

who are unfortunately born Austrian sub

military service aid the "Kultur" OF hated
Austria, and migrated to this great ana Tree
republic to enjoy liberty and justice.
These Slavs never sympathzed with the
tyranncal Hapsburgs Their attitude in this
war. needless to say, is pro-American and
pro-Ally. They are heart and soul for their
adopted country and her brave allies, who
fight so herocaly In the cause Of liberty and
right and for the liberation Of the small,
martyrzed and defenceless countries. like
their own land of birth, from the barbaric

now that there is the very great proba-
bility that the Austro-German Invasion
will be stopped at the Piave or that any
future advance will open the way to an
Allied counter offensive. The situation in
Italy, then, seems well in hand, so far as
it is a military situation. So far as it is
a moral situation, there has been an un-
mistakable rebound Of the Italian spirit
Invaded Italy has returned to the fight IN
something of the spirit of that defeated
France which took the offensive at the
Marine.
But even if a supreme disaster has been
escaped in Italy it is essential that no
Allied statesman and no Allied patriot
should mistake the lesson there written.
By every influence that she can exert Ger
many is attacking behind the lines and IN
the ranks of her enemies. The Anarchists,
the Socialists, the Clericals, the intellect
nal and the ignorant, the visionary thinker
and the man without Thoughtful ar
seized upon by her. The Utopian Ideals
of some, the selfish cowardice of others
these are the lines through which Ger
many operates for the destruction OF her
enemies and the dissolution of the ma
tional unity of the countries who are
fighting her.
Allied armies have now come to the sup
port of Italy. We may hope that venice
is safe and the crest of the invasion Is
passed, but unless we recognize that the
same forces which induced the Italian dis
aster are operating in France, in England
and here at home in the United States we
shall have at no distant date to confront
another crash, another collapse like that
which has taken place in Russia in totally
and in Italy in part. Germany has lost
the war so far as it is military ques-
ton. She cannot defeat the armies OF her
enemies. She can win only by corrupting
the people behind the armies and portions
of the armies themselves. Russian and
Italian events should serve' the greater
end; they should be final evidences of the
way, and the one way, that the war may
be lost. If they do not serve this end
they may yet prove beginning of defeat
rather than the high water marks of the
latest and most dangerous of all German
campaigns.

In Hoe Signo

Beyond all other power to lure,
Great goddess Liberty,
Is thine, enkindling. pure;
But speak thy mighty watchword, free,
And all deaths btterest dregs
Will heroes drink for thee.
The patriot hears thy mandate clear
Above his hearts wild cry
In tenderness austere
As his who gave by Syrian sea
That godlike test Of man,
arise and follow me-
Then comes from heaven his altar Are
white consuming fame
To all earth-born desire;
Upon his forehead cold he feels
The consecrating touch,
That all his manhood steels.
With newborn strength erect he stands.
Thy son, o Liberty;
Within his strong young hands
A planets destiny is held,
The while he conquers Fate
By thy warm glance compelled.
In this thy power, we read the sign,
Imperial Liberty.
That thou by right divine
And thou alone shalt rule the world,
When fendish craft Of war
To chaos dark Is hurled.
The bitter cost-youth sees it all
Through yelled years TO be;
lie hears the children call
Adown the silent thwarted years,
Rare gifts within their hands
Dream-childrsn seen through tears.
But cheer be thine, o gallant son!
For 10, thou farest forth,
Thy greatest battle won
In that still agony Of pain
When all the troops OF self
BY thy brave might were slain!

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Every redblooded person is now
thinking about what he can do for the
soldiers Christmas Many are also thinking
Of the unfortunate people whose homes have
been wiped out by the war;
beg to call attention to the plight Of
the Belgian soldier. who will have no one to
send him any little comfort and whose only
thought OF Christmas Day will be Of the
home that is wiped out and the relatives
whose safety or whereabouts he knows moth
ing Of.
To those kind people who would like to
do something for these unfortunate men
would suggest that they may send playing
cords, money. tobacco, pipes. books, etc, to
the Belgian Consulate, 90 Madison Avenue,
New York, where they may be sure the dona-
lions will get into most appreciative hands.

At the cost of small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare a full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beauti-
fer, by squeezing the juice of two
fresh lemons into a bottle containing
three ounces Of orchard white. Care
should be taken to strain the juice
through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gets in, then this lotion will keep
fresh for months. Every woman knows
that lemon juice is used to bleach and
remove such blemishes as freckles,
sallowness and tan. and is the ideal
skin softener. smoothener and beau
tifier.
Just try it. Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra

Conserve the Army Bows.

The governors of New England have
united on Maine as the gathering place
for the various National Guard units
BECAUSE 1T is A DRY" STATE.
They have gone beyond that; they
have expressed their sentiments in a
joint telegram to the War Department
at Washington. Governor Milliken has
conferred with Brigadier General Ed
wards. commanding the Department of
the Northeast and pointed out to him
the advisability of selecting Maine as
the site for training camps, and should
his suggestion and the recommended
ton Of all the governors of New Eng
land be adopted, Maine officials would
operate in every way possible to
keep such training camps free from the
evil influences that flock about them in
some other states.
Some people who believe in per
sonal liberty" prefer to send their sons
to the influences found in good old pro-
hibition Maine. to sending them as
prey for the booze vultures and i'm
moral vampires that swarm to the
cantonments in some parts of the
country.
The extraordinary efforts of Cover
nor Milliken along these lines of con-
servation of American manhood and
the U. S. army, should find approval in
every Christian home.

For a Rational Observance.

Darwin P. Kingsley of New York.
president of the Safety First Fedora
ton of America. is making an appeal
to the governors of all the states for
proclamations calling upon the citizens
for a rational observance of Inde-
pendence Day. He urges that the fol-
lowing instructions be given to public
officials:
"FIRsT-That they issue no permits
for the sale at retail of fireworks or ex-
plosives except paper caps.
'SECOND-That they issue no permits
for the sale of fireworks at wholesale ex-
ton of the officer issuing the permit
"FOURTH-That they start at once a
campaign of publicity to be continued
until July 9Th, especially using editorials
on the evening OF July Sd and morning Of
July 4th.
''FIFTH-That they obtain a supply of
tetanus antitoxin for instant use as a
preventative of lock;aw in cases of in
jury.
The wholesale misery program of
long established idiocy will die a nat
ural death If those dealers and manu-
facturers, who promote is as a money
making enterprise, are not permitted
to deal in the public nuisance material.
OF course they have their rights" but
so do some of the rest of US.
The celebration" of the birth of
freedom has cost America in blood and
treasure as much as the civil war, and
we cannot afford any more of it, Be-
sides it is the wrong time to celebrate
a one time victory over our present
ally in a war that means a life and
death struggle for us.
