MARSHAL J0FFRE.

Many of the American newspapers
are making the mistake of referring to
Joffre, noted French military officer, as
Field Marshal, instead of Marshal. The
latter rank is held by the great leader,
and he is the only marshal in all the
world. Field marshals are common
objects on the European battlefelds to-
day, and while We are paying homage
to the great savior of France, it is not
amiss that he should be properly hon
ored with the rank he so rightly de-
serves.
America is as proud of Joffre as if he
belonged to us in blood and birth. He
is the complication of the democracy
for which the Entente Allies, together
with the United States. are fighting
From an humble tanners son, Joffre
has won his way to the title of mar
shall, thus showing that true value and
merit will conquer and survive, though
deprived Of the royalty blessed and
cursed at birth.
Should arrangements be made where
by Marshal Joffre can tour the United
States, it will prove one of the great
est stimulants which canbe given the
nation. 1t will give the people if
America an opportunity to see the man
who saved the world from Prussianism,
ard blazed the way for a path compar-
atively easy for the United States when
placed alongside the trials already suf-
fered by the naions which have been
at war since 1914.
The American people are proud that
France sent her honored son to Amer
lea as one of the commissioners to ar
range the plans of cooperation for the
defeat of Germany and her sinister
allies.
Marshal Joffre is the toast Of
America.

WARNED BY THE COURT

When the United States Supreme
Court held that there is not a word in
the constitution giving Congress pow
er to punish contempt, it inferentially
asked attention to an instrument which
emphatically depriyes that body of
another power now vehemently as
serted by some of its members.
The constitution is far from silent
in this instance. In the first amend
ment it says that Congress shall
make no law 4" = abridging the
freedom Of speech or of the press"
The bill designed to meet the evils of
espionage contains section clearly in
violation of this fundamental of lib
erty. Attempting to punish District
Attorney Marshall for contempt, Con-
gress eXerted a power never conferred
upon it. Seeking to restrict and pen
alize the press for acts possibly inno-
cent, it assumes a power positively
forbidden.
Newspapers ask no immunity, but
they have right to protection from
frivolous or spiteful prosecution. The
crimes that they may commit should
be as carefully defined as any others
If it is not possible to draw a statute
differentiating between inquiries, dis
Cr>sions and publications that cal

viously in the interest of the enemy
! it may be well to drop the subject al
together.
One thing is made certain by tn;
judgment in the Marshall case. An!

TIME FOR EXCUSES.

cused. Wonder what the distin-
