The Shortage in Rifles

Red tape has been the curse of army adj
ministration in the snug little regular es-
tablishment which this country supported
up to the outbreak of the present war.
Fixity Of view and ineasticity of manage
ment are hard to outgrow. And the facts
which The Tribune published yesterday
about the shortage of rifles for our new
armies show that on the technical side of
war preparation the War Department has
certainly not outgrown them.
We have been at war for nearly six
months. But we have not secured. so far,
even a moderate supply of rifles for our
soldiers. We were in the shadow of war
for two years before war was declared.
But we are still just beginning to get a
start in the aviation arm and in the crea-
ton of modern artillery. The facts gath
cred by The Tribune indicate that the Bu-
rean of Ordnance and the other technical
authorities at Washington have been
more concerned with securing perfect arms
waiting for such arms to become avail
able) than they have been with having
somewhat inferior material with which to
equip the new armies. Adherence to their
arid point of view in a crisis when every
hour counts has checked preparation in

Enemies Within"

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: When ! see great daily newspaper

you are making against enemies within"
/ always feel like patting you on the back
and wishing | could do more to spread your
gospel of Americanism. The editorial wallop
you gave would-be Prince Hearst this morn
ing should leave a bad taste in his mouth.
As we all know the aforesaid prince is
high-priced man, it would be interesting to
know just what section of the conquered ter
rtory the Kaiser has promised him. Very
likely Belgium, as nothing would suit him
quite so we'll as to be placed where he could
Luxburg the British Isles. He has been doing
his level best at long range, but he will have
to move up closer TO the firing line now,
since Congress spiked his guns yesterday.
Some individuals really think they are so in
fuential, politically, that they can't be
reached. But that's mistake.

Euthanasia for Incurables

1t is reckoned by physician OF Des
Moines that there are at present IN this
country about two hundred thousand I'M
fortunate sufferers who are longing for
death. He does not tell us upon what data
he founded this estimate, but it appears
that when late patient of his begged to
be put out of his misery he resolved to
make plea on behalf of all in like case,
and accordingly laid the matter before his
colleagues in Chicago this week at the an
nual convention of the American Associa-
ton of Progressive Medicine.
Briefly, what he desires to bring about
is a legal reform by which adults who
want to die, and whose recovery is pro-
nounced hopeless by board of consulting
physicians, will be killed by some form of
anasthesia," and, likewise, parents of
Young child may request its death under
similar circumstances"
The proposal is not new, though hitherto
it has excited little enthusiasm on the
part either of the medical profession or
the public at large. An obvious objection
is the difficulty of determining the hope
!essness of recovery or of establishing the
degree of suffering that would justify the
avowed desire of the patient to die. Ger
tain conditions believed to be incurable
some years ago are undoubtedly amenable
to treatment to-day which perhaps they
would not be had the happy dispatch been
commonly practised in former times. On
the other hand many disabilities quite in
durable involve so little suffering that the
mere incurability could hardly be regarded
sufficient pretext for transferring the re-
sponsibility for suicide to the board of
doctors, though they were obliged to ac-
knowledge their helplessness.
The reform was, however, approved by a
majority of the physicians who voted on
it, and doubtless the next step will be to
secure legislation of some sort. By the
time it is passed the two hundred thousand
will have no need for it.

stirring of America to think, The brief,

Sphagnum Dressings
A Plea to Turn to Account a Moss
Found on Our Coasts

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | noticed in The Tribune of Septem
Der 20 report stating that the wounds Of
the Rumanans are being dressed with saw
dust, and that the need for Red Cross hos
pital supplies, especially bandages, is urgent
All the hospitals in this country are very
short of gauze and other materials used in
making bandages. America has remedy for
this if she will take the trouble to use it.
A little while ago an English professor and
scientist discovered that certain kind Of
moss, growing mostly in soft, marshy ground
and never far from the sea, possesses several
valuable healing qualities, iodine being
among them. IL is called Sphagnum moss,
and can easily be recognized by it's color.
The base of the frond is of rather vivid
light green, which fades to a grayish white
at the tip and as it grows in dense clumps
this causes it to appear almost white from
distance.
1t abounds in certain parts of England,
particularly on the coast of Devon, where
the gathering of it has become almost. an
industry. Ever since the discovery was made
most of the big hospitals in London have
been using it for dressing wounds, and large
bags are sent off every week to the London
and Mddlesex hospitals, for which they are
very thankful.
| have seen quantities of this same moss
growing on the coast of Massachusetts,, and
| have no doubt that search would reveal
plenty more of it in the swamps and salt
marshes Of the Atlantic seaboard. Here is
the chance for America not only to save
money and labor at home, but to help those
who have fought and suffered longer than
she has.
The work of gathering and preparing the
moss is monotonous, for each little strand
has to be separated from its neighbors and
cleaned of any fragments of twgs, leaves or
ordinary moss adhering to it, after which the
whole must be dried in the sun, packed
tightly in bags, and sent to the hospital,
where it will be sterilzed and used for pack
ings, bandages and swabs.
II is dull but fool-proof work, and will
give children and those who have not been
able to serve their country in any other way
a chance to do their bit.
The school children, farmers and peasants
of England realized the need and gave their
holidays and all their spare time to this val
liable work. America has the power to help
those who are dying for want of proper
treatment and supplies. Has she the will!

A Primary Probe Needed

District Attorney Swann's proposed in
vestigation of the results of the Republl-
can primaries should be welcomed by all
good citizens, by none more than by
Mayor Mitchell. The determination of the
primary ballots and the checking up OF
the official returns of the canvassers have
shown a remarkable series of discrepan-
cies. Whether these were due to ignorance
on the part of voters and honest mistakes
On the part of poll clerks or to deliberate
attempt to perpetrate fraud can be dis
closed only by grand jury inquiry. Ger
tainly there are elements enough of doubt
and sufficient suspicion in the air to JUS
tify the endeavor to ascertain the facts.
Thanks to the Mayors prompt applica-
ton for an examination of the ballots,
there is no chance that his opponent will
be Counted out" and the Mayor has
promised to do his utmost to see exact JUS
tice done to Mr.. Bennett. There is now the
bigger question involved the question
whether the law was violated. That is
more important to this community than
whether Mr.. Mitchell or Mr.. Bennett re-
ceived the nomination. If fraud was at
tempted a blow was struck against the
very foundation of government.
Every effort has been made by legisla-
ton to safeguard the primaries from
fraud as completely as the elections. Most
of the oldtime crooked devices have been
rendered unavoidable by numbered ballots,
the signing of the voters names for COM
parison with the signatures at the previ-
Gus election and the like. If this elaborate
system has collapsed before definite
endeavor to break the law the public wants
the criminals discovered and punished, as
were the election crooks in the special
election to decide whether constitutional
convention was to be held.
Whatever issues are at stake, and who
ever the candidates are, the primaries
must be straight.

Increased South American Trade

(Fron The Philadelphia Inquirer
For the fiscal year ended June 80 our
trade with South American nations was
more than two and one-half times that of
1915. This is the result by comparing values.
1t is probable that the actual bulk of COM
modities increased in smaller ratio, since
recent prices have been higher than for
merly.
The total trade last year aggregated $780,
100000, of which little less than one-third
was on export account. II is Of interest that
for the first time Argentina leads Brazil in
the matter of imports by this nation, al
though by very small margin. This is not
because Of meats, but by reason of heavy
wool imports at inflated prices, compared
with former years.
Taking Latin America as a whole, the fig
ures are much more impressive. as the total
trade was more than a billion and a half.
compared with little more than half that
amount in 1915. In almost every instance
the balance of trade has been favorable to
the nations south of us. We have paid or
shall pay them, in one way or another, al
most S400 100000 to settle balances

The Waste Of Bureaucracy
from The Boston Transcript

FROM Inc boston Transcript
An unfaling weakness of military bureau
cracy is the misuse of the commissioned per-
sonnet put at its disposal. We have an ex-
ample to-day in dispatch from Camp Mills,
the headquarters of the Rainbow Division
of the National Guard number of officers
have been detailed by Major General Mann,
commanding, to make up the list of names
of the next Of kin of all the men of that
division and to organize the system of re-
porting the killed, wounded and missing af
ter the division arrives in France Doubt
less this is done by order of the depart
ment, and, therefore, other commissions Of
fcers to the number of hundreds have been
or will be assigned to this work.
The Red Cross of every country in Eu-
rope is in charge of casualty reports. The
American branch offered its services for this
work to the War Department. The offer
was refused, and officers whom it is costing
the government thousands Of dollars to train
are to-day doing clerical work which is done
by clerks Of the Red Cross in other coun-
tries. Our bureaucracy takes the position
that because the casualties are military no
non-military hand must touch their compi-
lation or report. Whereupon this bureau is
set up and manned with officers doing the
work Of clerks.
