Salaries for War Absences

When National Guard units were or
dercd to the Mexican border for service
last summer many employers, moved by
patriotic and humanitarian motives. ar
ranged to pay to employees who went either
a part or the whole of their regular COM
pcnsation. That situation has come up
again now that Guard units are being
taken into service. recruiting IS beng
pushed and there is a proposal for selec-
tive CONSUMPTION. 1t is puzzling employers
who wish to cooperate with the govern
ment. and it appears to be pulling the
government itself, to judge by the letter OF
Secretary Baker to President Rhett. OF the
Chamber of Commerce Of the United
States. urging employers to go slow.
Obviously, dependents of those on mill
tarv service will have to be cared for, and
it may we'll be that civilian assistance
either from employers or from voluntary
contributors to some fund established for
the purpose will be needed by the govern
ment. At this time the wisest course seems
to he that suggested by Secretary Baker
TO 90 slowly and to make only temporary
arrangements with employees. The govern
ment must take the lead in whatever IS
done. and taking the lead will involve IN
vestigation and the formulation of sys-
tematic plan of aid. For employers. before
that is done to complete arrangements to
nav part or the whole of their absent
workers salaries might become distinctly
embarrassing. even wasteful and undeslr-
able in the long run. There must be no
conflict or duplication of effort in this or
in any other activities connected with ma
tional mobilization.
The thing Immediately desirable seems
to be to ascertain the views of employers
and the possibilities of aid from that
source. If a committee Of the Chamber OF
Commerce can obtain that information the
government, through the Council OF Ma
tional Defence. will be in much better posi-
ton to formulate its plan than 1t now IS,
and the employers can be sure of going
ahead in arrangements with individual
cmploves on the right lines for their good
and the good of the country.

altogether too prone 70 try to get something
for nothing. and our sense of national oblI-

less dangerous than it seems. i cannot

We do not believe that the House VIII

Where Flowers Kill the Child

Where flowers kill the child,
Not in sweet pastures wild.
There country playmates through long sea-
sons leap;
But in bitter glooms
or toil-infested rooms
AN poison gardens OF a growth dohled
Strange blossoms flower by flower
Up TO the midnight hour
Bloom fast for little hands that may not
sleep;
Listen. Oh ye who buy,
There is a Stihcd cry
Within the spray and there is woven power
To turn your life towards death,
Disease fectcd breath
Has earned a pittance where these false
vines creep;
Hunger'a and fever twincd,
You and the toilcr bind
Together in each bright but joyless wreath.
Selling her childrcn's skill.

Enslavcs the home brave poverty would keep;
Oh. women Bow your heads.

America Awaking

The preparedness parade Of last year
was New York's way Of showing to who
ever was concerned that however pac'iists
shouted and pro-Germans raved the bulk
Of the people here believed in American
ism and were willing to fight for it. The
tremendous demonstration TO which New
York devoted itself yesterday demon
stration worthy the anniversary of the
battle Of Lexington may be taken as
proof that the Americanism which dictated
the preparedness parade is marching on,
stronger than ever.
America is awaking. Representatives
Of every class in this great city so testified
yesterday. Their testimony will 90 forth
10 all the world as the testimony of the
preparedness parade went forth to all
parts of this country. And what is true Of
New York is true of every corner of the
land. In this war of the people against
the last great autocracy Of the world
Americans are showing themselves united
and ready to do their bit.

Ding as a Recruiting Agent

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The twin illustrations by Ding in to-
DAYS Tribune graphically represent the CON
dition of mind of startlngly large number
81 those adults eligible for one or the other
branch Of military service. There is no use
DENYING the facts OF the prevalent apathy Of
the young men of to-day. many OF whom arc
suffering from an acute attack Of he-kept- us-
out-of.war-tis, a disease almost epidemic.
Some one suggested recently that the pict-
rres accompanying the placards at the re-
cruitng stations, prepared by the govern
ment. we're commonplace which they are. |
suggest that some one in authority enlarge
and reproduce with your consent these two
pictures and display them in proper form at
these stations. I'll venture the prediction
that they will attract attention, and with
advantage TO the cause.
The people in Washington have got to wake
up. How else will we avert the disasters that
threaten us. JNO. y. CULVER.

Simplifying Life

If war does nothing else for US than end
some of the expensive fub-dub to which
we have devoted precious hours of our I'M
mortal lives, it will do a lot. Any number
of American wives and husbands and
mothers and fathers have groaned over
the showiness and pretencc they were com
PEELED to display-or thought they were
compelled to display. Mighty few have had
the courage to stand up and cut any of 1t
out. It was easier to roll along like every
body else-in fancy top shoes or limou-
sines. or opera boxes as the customs Of
ones associates decreed-than raise a
standard Of revolt and be classed as
queer"
The great point of the present cutlery
for the simple life is that following it will
not now brand anybody as queer The
queer people will be the ones too stupid
or hidebound to climb aboard. The simple
life gives every promise Of being the fash
ionable life for some time to come. Jcer
at this herd-like tendency Of the human
race if you will. But don't underestimate
its pull either in your neighbors or yourself.
Simple food and simple clothes should
be the first and best items on every list
Try them and see. Our local hotels arc
showing the way by cutting down their
menus-from forty vegetables TO twelve.
That has a little grim humor for the
cynics. Most of us are glad to be able TO
afford an onion or a potato and let 1t go
at that. Let us admit that simplicity is a
relative term. The point is that each Of
us should 90 through his impedimenta and
start cutting out the elaborate and bur
densome and useless whether that hap
pens to be a second chauffeur or white
topped shoes
Once such a beginning IS made we shall
all be surprised at the convenience and fun
Of IT, We shall want to go on. \ thor
oughgong uprising against the tyranny
Of spending would be about the most val
liable and most enjoyable sort Of demo-
cratic revolution that this nation of free
and equal climbers could turn its hand to.

Creating an Atmosphere

The German newspapers seem TO nave
lost interest in the war on land, and are at
present anxiously engaged in directing the
attention Of their readers to the astonish-
ing feats of the U-boats. They all agree
that the most significant passage in Mr.
Lloyd Georges recent speech at the Amer
lean Luncheon Club was that in which he
dwelt on the lack Of tonnage, and Captain
Kuehlwettor and other naval correspond
ents are at great pains to show that our
offer to help the Allies with merchant
shipping is nothing but American bluff.
For the rest. the comforting information
is impaired that in the first two months of
UNLIMITED" submarine war the Germans
lost only half dozen of their U-boats
The excellent results Of unanimity in
the German press are already apparent
and seem to confirm the authenticity of the
secret and confidential" circular which by
some unhappy accident fell lately into the
hands of the British. II was plainly ad-
dressed TO German editors alone. They
were told that absolute internal unison
was essential and that with regard to the
U-boat war the determined approval of
the entire people must ring out from the
press" In particular they were warned
not to speak of it as "a movement of des-
pcration," but rather as the only means to
secure a speedy victory. Incidentally, it
was limited that ruthless was an ugly
word to use in describing this intensified
campaign and the suggestion was made
that the phase be called unlimited y"
