RED FIRE OR RED CROSS?

A S THE Red Cross campaign starts n
L is reported that many towns and VIII
lagos In the vicinity of this city are scor-
ing great successes in another campaign
the collection of contributions for Fourth
of July celebrations. One New JERSEY
community, comprising two or three hun
dred families, is going TO raise 5000 for
fireworks
This is folly. We should certainly have
the greatest Fourth in our history; but
not a wasteful Fourth, not a murder
initiating Fourth. Our doctors and nurses
have gone, will keep going, to the field
to repair the effects Of real explosives.
Every cent that can be spared should go
to them, to provide not merely for the
bare necessities of Red Cross work, for
the cruder material needs-stretchers,
ether, bandages--but also for the extra
comforts that sick men ought 10 have to
lure them back to health of body, mind
and soul. The gallant fellows who lie
wounded in French hospitals want one
thing-to get back TO the battlefield. II is
bad enough for an able-bodied man not
TO want to take a wounded mans place;
man into condition TO continue fighting
for him.
Modern surgery brings men back from
the brink of the grave. Thousands OF
men died in our Civil War who would have
been saved today, notably Stonewall Jack
son, whose death. II it had occurred in
this war, would have disgraced a field

Manned men today are marvelously re

cases redeemed; artificial limbs permit
crippled soldiers to walk and feed them.

The Germans prove that this is so by
sinking hospital ships and wrecking am

mischief for them and terrible as this in
human Prussian practice is. It mends NJ

ONE Of the several high hurdles that
spring up Unexpectedly in the way OF
Reformed Spelling and throw it out Of
its stride is the word whittier" A morn
ing contemporary, committed to the re-
form and apparently aiming TO be con-
sistent, printed it "wither" five or six
times in one poem on it's front page on
Thursday. Another troublesome word is
where"
Doctor March, late president of La
fayette College, gave many years Of his
life to the study of this problem of sim
plifying our language, and much of the
fruit of his toll was blighted by the pre-
mature and clumsy help of one Theodore
Roosevelt. 1t was about 1906, when T. r.
was President, that he took up the big
stick for Reformed Spelling and used 1t
in his correspondence. He overplayed 1t,
and as consequence it was laughed
back nobody knows how many years.

scrutable God whose omniscient functions
he has sought to usurp.
Mr.. Taft has said, and thousands OF
others have thought, that God takes care
| of children, idiots and the United States.
Certainly the Providence that guided men
across the mighty vastness Of the Allan
tic, and planted with them here the
seeds Of liberty. was also the Providence
that provided democracy with resources
so inexhaustlble and wealth so up-
precedented that they constitute in
themselves an almost insuperable barrier
against the aggressions of autocracy and
tyranny, no matter whence they sprung.
II is not, we believe, by accident that in
this tragic crisis, when the cries of civil.
zation for help have thundered across the
Atlantic, We are able to answer with
money and in men. An inexhaustible
treasury, with which autocracy could not
compete, seemed in this period to be
the one essential to victory for the forces
OF humanity, and that treasury, humbly
we say it, by the grace of God is here.

the first two billions are the "in hoe

Liberty has offered her life blood and
her treasure at the affairs Of freedom.
Not in boastfulness does Philadelphia

making this great loan success. 1t is

spiracy which has been organized against

THE DANGER OF INDIFFERENCE
Making Precisely Same Mistake That England
Made During the First Year of the War;"
Says Marcosson
By ISAAC F. MARCossoN
and puSlIcist, who has Just returned from q


of aerial warfare, making possible an over
seas aircraft whose endurance will be
equaled only with its destructiveness.
In other words, the battlefront of Europe
is slowly but surely spreading from the
Old World to the New.
This is one definite reason why It is up
to the whole American people TO regard the
war as their war; to feel that every ad.
vance by the Allied armies is one more
step in the direction of their own national
security.
If Germany is not beaten on the battle
fields of Europe, then the deadly con-
fict with her world ambition must be
fought out on our own shores.
A huge American army in Europe today
is the best insurance against the crimson.
ing of >our own land.
The war today has a message and
meaning for every American citizen be he
a banker in New York, a ranchman in
Texas or a street-car conductor in Spokane
Success of the Allied arms in Europe
this year means peace and security for the
free nations Of the earth for years to
come.
Failure means the constant threat and
ultimately the effort to impose autocratic
German ideas Of government upon every
democracy in the Western Hemisphere.
Americans must realize that our army
is going to France to fight for America.
The scene OF the fighting is in Europe.
The issue at'stake is here in America.
To see this war is the best cure for
short-sighted optimism that I know No
mistake that America can make would be
more fatal than the satisfied feeling of con-
tent that "all will be we'll" The Germans
are far from beaten
Germany is still going concern. The
empire is full of fight and Americas war
JOB Is cut out for her. The sooner we realize
1t the quicker it will be finished.

DECISION PLEASES FANS

LOVERS OF baseball will rejoice that the
IL effort to bring the great national
game under the antitrust laws has failed.
The public was nauseated by the lack of
discipline which prevailed during the
existence Of the Federal League. It may
be doubted If the management Of profes.
sional baseball is entirely perfect; but It
is management resulting from long
years Of experience, during which, on
more than one occasion, chaos instead of
order reigned. The present system of
control is the only system which has
proved TO be at all workable.
