THE VIPER IN OUR BOSOM

DOTENTlAL dangers from enemy
aliens are reduced by the President s
second proclamation, further restricting
their movements and limiting their ac.
tivities. The new rules cannot be criti-
cized on the ground that they are too
drastic. The only objection that can be
raised is that they were not formulated
long since. The original proclamation
of last April was entirely too lenient.
Our patience has been sorely tried by
munitions explosions, incendiary fires,
anti-draft agitation, transmission of mill
tary information to Berlin and other
activities of espionage.
UnremittinS severity is the only proper
treatment for Prussia nism in this coun-
try. Our decent and tolerant attitude has
been abused. Hence the compulsion on
US of the drastic rules put into operation
this week. They have been for safety's
sake too long deferred but at last we
have taken adequate means to protect
the country from the quietly disloyal and
the actively hostile.
Philadelphia particularly needs protec-
tion. with its great navy yard, its vast
shipbuiding yards and munitions manu-.
features and its other war activities.
Every citizen is or ought to be enrolled
as voluntary policeman charged with
aiding enforcement Of the enemy alien
law. This does not mean each citizen
is an agent for petty persecution or Is
empowered to satisfy private grudges by
lodging malicious information. 1t does
mean that every citizen should take
responsible and public'spirted part i'm
reporting all suspicious happenings or
suspected persons to the Federal au-
thorities for official investigation.

Congress, when II meets week after next,
can speedily pass the amendment, which
must be passed sooner or later. Or II

inevitable that the energies and money of
thousands of women will be divided be-
tween war work and suffrage propaganda.
Human nature is so constituted that such
deep forces as the suffrage movement has
set In motion cannot be diverted until
they have reached their goal.

KEEP COPS ON BEATS

city Is the demand made by the Civil
Service Commission. Mr.. Robert NJ

Il reorganization on facts brought out at

mittee on the recommendation of the Su'
perntendent of Police that i20 new district

year apiece. Average citizens will he as
amazed as was the civil service expert
to learn that several hundred men are de-
tailed for clerical work "at Central" and
in the station houses.
The poiceman's function is patrol duty
and protection. Necessary clerical work
can without shadow of a doubt be done
without impairing the efficiency of the
force and certainly with greater economy
than under the present system by the
obvious eXpedient of hiring trained clerks.

Astounding testimony in the Fifth Ward

pleted ranks due to numerous clerical
assignments indicate strongly the need of
police reorganization. Apparently the
city does not need more policemen 50
much as it needs fewer policemen doing
work not their own.

IRISH LOYALTY
TO THE REPUBLIC
Northeastern Hospitals Need of

Nations
IRISH LOYALTY TO u. S.


Sir-As American citizens of Irish origin
we again pledge our unreserved loyalty to
the great republic which has given us the
opportunity to make the best uses of our
abilities and our confidence in the Irish
party that, through the British Parliament.
has redeemed Ireland from the thralldom of
feuda landlordism and restored to the peo-
pie of Ireland the ownership OF their own
soil.
This is. on our part no recently inspired
profession of mere lip-Service; II is re-
iteration of the principles that have guided
us since the beginning of our organization.
We have never expressed, nor even felt,
any leaning toward the success in the pres
ent war of Prussian autocracy and mill
tarism. nor entertained the sham hope and
selfish aim of freeing Ireland in exchange
for martyring and enslaving Belgium, Serbia
and the other small countries of continental
Europe. What we have demanded for
Ireland we ask for them-freedom for all
mankind.
Accordingly. 1t is our earn st prayer that
the United States may secure for the rest
of the world that inestimable boon to its
fullest extent by crushing the would-be en-
SLAYER.
As the land Of our birth is now in a
crucial period OF her political history. the
crisis of which is near at hand and will
decide the outcome of her hopes and ma
tional aspirations, We feel the moment has
arrived when ii behooves all Irishmen really
interested i'm her destinies to take their
stand on the side of right and justice. Let
them now give aid and comfort to her
old and sorely tried elected representatives
by expressing their constancy and loyalty.
otherwise. by silence and inaction, they
give countenance to the destructive forces
now at work to hinder and destroy the
honest efforts being made to bring about a
fitting and satisfactory solution of the prob
lem of self-government for the ancient realm
of Erin.
Accordingly we. the representatives of
the United Irish Societies of Philadelphia.
do hereby reafiirm our constant loyalty to
the Stars and Stripes, our undying love for
our motherland and our steadfast faith in
her duly elected and authorized representa-
tives in the Parliament.
We again express our unshaken con-
fidence in their fidelity to the cause for
which they have fought so long and un-
spared to guide the Irish nation through
the present crisis until they bring it to the
goal of full accomplishment of their pur-
pose.
May God guard Mother Erin from the
Vaccinations Of her enemies and from the
action of some of her unwise and mis-
guided patriots. whose efforts cannot lead
to success and which are now estranging
the greatest friend of Ireland-the people of
these United States!

"THE UNITED NATIONS"
TO the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:

10 thc Edtor or the Evening Ledger.
Sir-Let me ask, Is not Woodrow Wilson
almost President of "the United Nations"
right now? Is not real. actual step to-
ward it being made in his present in
sistence that the nations really unite under
a single command?
One would never believe In view of our
almost unanimously reverent Worship of
our interstate or national Constitution, that
1t came just as hard as our international
constitution is coming; or that there was
the same fear of it, that nearly one-third of
the people of the States called it "a mon
ster" and almost threatened revolution un-
less ten "safety-f1rst" amendments were
made to il at once
The union of the States came through
economic or financial suffering. preceded by
military attack The military attack pro-
duced military union, as it Is doing now :
the next step will be through financial or
economic suffering also. in all probability.
Indeed, there will be nations who will re-
sist 1t to the end, like Rhode Island did.

State tariff against a one-State tariff There
will also be nations so nationally Jealous
that some international Patrick Henry will
nave to say, Here. we are not Americans
nor Britons. nor Frenchmen; we are citi.
zens of the United Nations-each for all
and all for EACH"
Future historians may be able to saw:
fatuous national jealousy and international
disorganization and furnished the first real
step toward constitutional international
union. Necessity created military union.
and habit Of acting internationally arose
and all the hobgoblins with which ignorance
and timidity had peopled the international
map disappeared like the mist at sunrise
Then the following Teuton defeat made an
international constitution of the United
Nations necessity as a guarantee for fu-
ture peace. And 1t was enforced by uni
versal economic suffering, but was grad
uaiiy, Understood by all nations, as the Teu-
ton nations had also become accustomed
to act and think internationally and be-
sides, the most of them welcomed with
JOY an escape from the sinister dominance
of Germany into the freedom of the great
republic of the world, the United Nations ;"
Now, as my old professor used to saw
the prophecy business is a dangerous one {"
but j am willing to take a chance.

Decision in the Air

What Germany found out i'm 1915 the
Allies are discovering now. IL Is not to
their dscredit. Germany was landlocked
and stalemated two years ago; our land
locking only begins to be apparent now
when the exact value of the Somme and
the Ypres battles can be reckoned out We
are landlocked. And Germany is invulner-
able by sea-
"Over, under, around or through'-and
the greatest of these Is over Just as Ger
MANY took to the U-boat the Allies are
taking to the air-boat. The armies are
necessary and the greater army will al
ways have the greater power, although the
advantage of the defense Is appalling. But
the only solution which is now apparent
TO the problem OF defeating Germany is the
solution of the air. Aviation began as an
auxiliary to the infantry; II developed re-
Gently into two separate new phases-that
of fighting In the air and of fighting against
infantry with machine guns. Its next de-
yelopment Is that of a separate arm of the
service and one adopted because no other
arm can work. II Is arguable that we
might accomplish the same thing by digging
underground but It would take longer.
II is perfectly possible for the Allies. or.
II you prefer. the cobelligerents, to put two
or three or more army corps Into the air.
