"DON'TS" TO REMEMBER
FOR OYA AMERICANS

NEW YORK. June 17.-Dr. Preston
W. Slosson, of the history department
of Columbia University, has drawn up
a list Of "Don'ts on the War" Some
OF them are:
Don't say. My country right or
wrong We aren't wrong.
Don't call national necessity and
international justice by any name as
vague as national honor.'
Dom say Wall Street or British
dc or the 'Northclifc press made
this war. You don't have TO bride n
nation to max 1t resent the murder
OF its citizens.
Don't call every pro-ally pro-
British Great Britain is only one of
a dozen or so OF the allies.
Don say that both sides think they
AFRO fighting a defensive war. A mar
may honestly think that two and six
arc eleven. but it doesn't make
them so.
Don't call universal training 'Prus-
sian militarism.' 1t is no more Prus-
sian than ii is Swiss. French, British,
Argentine. Japanese or Australian.
Don't say that we owe aid to France
on accoun, of Lafayette. We didn't
help France in 1870. and We were right
no, to do so. We only owe aid TO any
nation when it is fighting Gas at pres

Don't say that 1t doesn't make any

position to various sections.
Senate opposition is scheduled to
begin with an effort by Senator Hard
wick and others to return tho bill to

IIardwick contends that because of its
provisions to raise revenue through
regulation OF grain exchanges and in
licensing food dealers the bill cannot.

the Senate, but must tirst come from
