MUST BE RECKONED WITH

From all accounts enemies in our midst are getting bolder and are edging about factories and other government works in defiance of the law enacted to keep them at safe distance that they may not get hurt-presumably
 There are some pacifists who believe that the great American army now in training for the European front will have to be used at home instead of abroad and the pro-German elements are encouraging the idea. But they will only have to wait short time before they discover their mistake They evidently fail to take into consideration the fact that the Americans who have passed the age of military service must be reckoned with and there are millions upon mil lions Americans from fifty up have no patience with disturbers of peace and much less traitors Their patriotism is keen enough that drafting in case of need will be unnecessary. Leave it to the Americans past fifty to make the traitors stand at attention. Not that the younger men are less patriotic. No, not that at all; but the older men have no patience to dilly daily with degenerates who plan the destruction of inno- cents such as peaceful working citizens doing their duties to the country. Messrs. Pro-Ger- mans must not think that Americans are lack ing to attend to their cases if the necessity ever arises. Men for that purpose )t lacking and must be reckoned with.

Military Expert Indorses Plan to Profit
By Allied Experience.
Ie to The Washington Herald.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald
London, April 10-The Times' military
correspondent. discussing American par
ticipation In the war; heartily indorses
the apparent Intentions of the American
government to use the regular army and
the National Guard as a nucleus for the
formation of a national army. He recalls
what a serious disadvantage 1t was to
Great Britain to be compelled to throw
her regular forces into the fighting line
in 1914 because Of Frances urgent need of
help.
IF the United States" he says, "cares
to send a regiment or two TO London or
Rome to affirm the solidarity OF the allied
cause 1t would be a graceful and rightly
appreciated act. But this war is a very
serious business, and for the national
army which America proposes to create
the whole of her existing professional
cadre is little enough. We shall not mis-
understand American action in the least
IL we have to wait some months until her
first divisions, well equipped and thor
oughly trained, make their appearance In
France.
Hastily formed and unframed levies
are useless. Our new armies In 1914 took
nine months In forming before the first
division arrived In France, and this divi-
sion took three months more to harden to
trench warfare before it could safely en-
gage in a great attack.
America may be able to curtail these
periods and send over a few divisions this
autumn. but 1t will hardly be this year
that America is adequately represented
on the battlefield. Germany certainly
reckoned on this delay when she deliber-
ately preferred the hostility OF the Unit
ed States to abandonment of ruthless sub
marine warfare"

LIKES YAKA HULA LIFE
BETTER Than HUSBAND
Mrs. Alice M. Schultz Prefers to Live
in Hawaii-Wants Alimony.
,pecial to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald
Philadelphia, April 1O.-It Is not eX-
pected that Mrs. Alice NJ. Schultz and her
children will wear path between here
and Honolulu. Expectations are. how
ever. that they will spend about six
weeks of each year doing nothing except
travelling from there to here and back
again.
No one needs to be an expert with the
ukulele to understand why Mrs. Schultz
has decided to live in a state of almost
perpetual motion. One only has to know
that in a separation agreement with her
husband. Carl Walter Schultz, she prom
ised to live three months of each year in
New York.
Apparently Mr.. Schultz sees nothing In
living in Hawaii to sing "Hicky-wacky-
hooky" or whatever the Hawaiian ma
tional cabaret song now is.
Mr.. Schultz is secretary and treasurer
of the Schultz Mineral Water Company,
and so far as the records of the City
Court, where Mrs. Schultz is bringing an
action aimed at recovering a claim of $500
back alimony. show, he never has shown
the slightest eagerness to learn at first
hand the difference between an "Aloha-
Oe" and a glass of ginger pop.
Mrs. Schultz has asked City Court JUS
tice Allen for permission to examine the
mineral company's books because her
husband says he has overdrawn his ac-
count there.

The latter camp was declared to have
been a national stencil"
The association announced that II
would take firm stand against a repeti-
ton OF this alleged disgrace in the
military camps during this war.
In what way the college women will
participate in the war has not beer

tion are now being formulated by a spe-
cial war committee.
1t Is believed that one OF the activities
Will be in the commissary departments
OF the army and navy Many Of the
members of the association are chemists
and food experts and are well fitted to
do the work of government inspectors.
Another activity will no doubt be In the
direction of sanitation OF military camps.
Such efforts would be both for physical
and moral betterment, one of the men,
bers declared.
