Stop the Mouth Of Sedition

such prominence) is certainly convincing and
most refreshing to ones soul. Yet notice
in to-day's issue an emphaticaly discordant
note by Arthur o. Lovcjoy.
He characterizes any drastic action as pc
culiarly gratuitous and pcrnicious error
Of policy. and giving ground for suspicion
that our cause cannot bear the test OF open
argument
Then he protests that the majority OF the
American people are perfectly able to Judge
for themselves. That is, indeed. very evil
dent and to the extent of infinitely more
than mere majority. But what about that
small but pcrverse, lying and criminal resi-
due who do not wish to submit to either ma
iority or reason, and whose purpose is not
any honorable endeavor to honestly enlghten
ANYBODY. but rather 20 deceive those that are
gulIible and persuade them to deeds of trea-
SON solely for the benefit Of the enemy?
Sinister as the doings of these people are,
we do not object to tolerating them within
certain reasonable bounds and squareIy in
the open in time of peace. But the present
is time of very serious world war; which is
q very different matter, and we are all too
busy and too serious minded-or ought to be
so-to be in a mood to trihe, or to be ever

Camp Mothers

Police Commissioner Woods could not
do a better piece of war work than to APP
point women police officers to patrol parks,
navy yards and armories, as urged by the
Mayors Committee of Women on National
Defence.
Such a measure is not unprecedented
Eighteen months ago England officially
appointed camp policewomen, after women
volunteers had successfully demonstrated
tnat their services were invaluable. That
immoral conditions will prevail in army
camps has long been an axiom of war, but
England, first by cordially recognizing
the volunteer policewomen and then by
appointing them as officers, has raised the
standard of her army life an appreciate
degree.
There is no question that women officers
can do this special protective and prevent
i've work better than the average police
man. Aside from any sentimental gener-
alizatons about woman as a natural pro-
tector of the race, and apart from super
feministic claims for her superiority over
man in every capacity, experience has
shown that in this kind Of work women are
more successful than men. Camp moth
ers" have unlimited opportunity for good;
"camp fathers" would not get very far,
one fears.
The War Department last week appealed
to the suffragists of New Jersey to estab-
fish recreation centres at Camp Dick at
Wrightstown, and to investigate the moral
conditions of the camp. The suffragists re-
sponded by appointing large working
committee to carry on this work. The
women of Texas, having learned from the
experience of last summer, have under
taken the camp mother movement.
The Mayors Committee of Women on
National Defence has investigated for New
York City and has found that conditions
among the soldiers and sailors and young
Girls are far from ideal. They have de-
monstrated also that without arrest, with
cut publicity, many cases of immortality
can be prevented. New York should have
their services as part Of the city admins
tration.

Esperanto in France
An Open Sesame to Firesides of the
Green-Buttoned
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Will you kindly allow me to add a few
lines TO the timely suggestion of Mr.. James
McKirdy, that appeared in to-day's Tribune,
with reference to the help which our soldiers
might derive from studying Esperanto on
their way to France?
| wish to tell the soldiers who are going TO
fight side by side with the brave Frenchmen
to end this with peace that should not
turn out to be mere truce, but peace that
will make war in the future impossible, a
peace that the conquered nations would well
come as fervently as the conquerors, that
the French government, keenly alive to the
great advantages offered by the auxiliary in
ternational language Esperanto has already
long ago made extensive use of il in its
various activities.
The Ministry of War, for instance, as |
have CLEANED from the French Esperanto
paper, France Esperanto" some time ago
published as an initial instalment 10000
Red Cross manuals in Esperanto. For
further particulars the soldiers should on
landing in France write TO 81 Rue de Clichy,
Paris. 9e., which is the headquarters of very
important organization, known as "Un
Comite d'Amis de lEsperanto,' whose mem
bership list could readily pass for "Who Is
Who in France" containing as IL does not
only some of the best known names of the
French nobility, but the names Of the great
est lights of the French Academy, presidents
Of universities, some of Frances best known
publicists and litterateurs. For, while Espe
ranto was born in Russian Poland and went 70
school, so to say, in Germany, it attained its
full stature in France, and it was in Paris
where, before the war the best known Espe-
rantO periodicals were published; and the
secretary of the Scienca Asocio, which also
published the monthly "Scienca Gazette" is
no less a person than Rolet De lTsle, the
chief engineer of the French navy.
Mr. McKirdy whom do not have the honor
to know, has by no means exaggerated the
ease with which Esperanto can be acquired.
At the end of six months from the time that
| learned the Esperanto 4 B c, |, at the re-
guest of the editor Of Esperanto" the Off
c.al journal of the Uniyersala Esperanto
Asocio, having its headquarters in Geneva,
Switzerland, wrote quite long article about
the life in New York (the editor not being
aware how recent a convert TO Esperanto
then was), and 70 my own surprise, my
article was published without the change of
comma.
shall willingly send key to Espe-
ranto to any one who will inclose two-cent
stamp.
| ought to add that, apart from its use
during the war, the Esperantist, no matter
in what part of the world he finds him
self, will find that his green five pointed
button gives him an open sesame to the
freside Of any Esperanto family, at whose
door he would otherwise not dare 20 knock

Ship Them Back 4!

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Although not Of the give million
of fathers" named by Lemuel Ely Quigg in
Saturdays Tribune, but merely a mother
and of daughters, at that am fired
with a desire to express nv great ad-
miration for his wonderful letter, and also for
that Of Charles r. Trowbrdge in The Tribune
to-day Both of these letters suit me exactly,
and already ! have insisted on reading them
10 pacitist friends, trying 10 bring them to
these points of view.
Especially all must indorse what Mr. Trow-
bridge writes concerning the right of free
speech, which is so shamefuily abused by those
who have focked to this country to escape the
oppression of their own. No sooner do they
establish themselves here than they in turn
wish to put the thumbscrews on those in au-
thority who have given them the liberty they
abuse and the chance for becoming loyal citi-
zens which they have repudiated.
Why not ship hem-together with plotting
Americans-on the ocean, TO feed the subma-
rines, unless they are lucky enough to get
across TO their divine friend, the Kaiser?

The German Mind
Chance of Revolution or Repentance
Practically MI

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is TO be feared that the premise
which our President has assumed in his an
swer to Pope Benedict is not well taken
That premise claims that there is an essen
tial difference in opinion between the Ger
man autocratic power and that of the people
generally, as we would consider the people in
our own country. With centuries Of sub
servience by the mass of the central portions
comprising the bulk of the truly German
people to authorized and sutocratic power.
there is little left now of a determination of
mind 10 oppose anything in the way of OPP
position to the humdrum, continuous every
day state of affairs. Should opposition be
shown it would be, and has been, put down
as effectively as was Carl Schurz's attempt,
with that of others, in lS4S.
What, then, can be expected of d nation so
thoroughly opposed as is the German people
to any change There is little hope for it. All
Germany went into the war with enthusiasm
and with an absolute expectation of a rapid
success The hope Of that success still OBJ
tains in the bulk of the people.
Changing now gradually from big accom-
plishments in the military line to feeling
that they have got lot, but not all they
want to get, and then with kind of grow
ing fear that they may not be so successful
after all, and then, when food commences TO
pinch and they don't seem to get much ahead
what then? They are threatened with for
eign foes! The whole world seems to be
against them. These stupid Englishmen don't
know when to quit. Even America will aid
them But they will cOnquer Their Kaiser
has said that they must have the will to con-
quer, and so they will go on, repulsing all
their enemies and trusting to God and their
Hindenburg, they will conquer!
What can be thought of public who rea-
sons like that? The bulk do. Why so? Be-
cause for years they have been dominated.
like all Central European nations, by auto
cratic power. Can they rebel? No. II is not
in their nature to even attempt it. What
then? No outbreak similar to Russia, no
nothing. The whole population now believes
itself, or will soon believe itself, an object
of persecution by the Allied powers What
will be the effect? Like the Southern Confed-
eracy in 1865, they will fight to the end.
The German character is that OF stoidity
1t is hard TO change it. Yet the diplomats
and junkers are subtle. How can we ar
range il? How can we as Americans make
the bulk of Germans see our point of view
and theirs, too? Possibly by compromise.
Probably by arms. President Wilson may eff
feet the result by words, but for US, now get
ting in deeper than any one could have mag
med, let US press forward to the prize of the
high calling of democracy for the world, and
Join intellectually with our allies to achieve
that noble outcome.
There is no turning backward now! We
must get them or they will get u.s.

quently, there is every reason to suppose
that they will from time to time shorten
their lines whenever there is profit for
them in such an operation either through
the release of men for use elsewhere or
through avoidance of heavy and sterile
sacrifices necessary to retain ground that
will ultimately have TO be evacuated.
1t would be idle to pretend that the oc-
cupation of the ground now under discus
sion would be of any large advantage to
the British at the moment. IL they take
it by battle their gain will be in the losses
inflicted upon the Germans. 1t has no
large strategic value. It has no indus
trial or agricultural value, and whenever
they abandon it the Germans will still
have in the rear as good line as they
hold now. If the retreat comes it will
probably be the final episode in the British
campaign for the year. But it is not safe
vet to conclude on the evidence available
that such retreat is to come.

Lafayette, Nous Voila!'
An Immortal Phrase Snatched FROM

Sir: If the one word spoken Mt the TOMB
Of Lafayette which all Paris seized upon
with pleasure and Americans could congratu-
late themselves upon has not before no"
reached the American public, fact one
learns with incredibly, it can only be ne
cause every American writer in Paris Mt the
time took for granted that not CABLING
correspondent would let so good thing pass
and therefore individually forbore to repeat
it in slower mail. By the same token IL
we did not Immediately all set to writing the
Obvious verse beginning Lafayette mere
we arel" it was only because nobody could
doubt the columns Of American papers would
be already filled with variants OF II long
before our own could cross Summarized
ocean. We will give the poets now month
TO repair the omission
But in the interests of an historic truth
let us also give credit where credit IS due;
it was not General Pershng, but Colonei

one word of the occasion.

To the Editor o. -lbune.
Sir: Mr. Tryou wishes to impress us with
the fact that the future of democracy in
this country has much more to hope from
the persons who are endeavoring 70 main
tain its constitutional guarantees than from
those who are making use Of force to over
throw them" "Those" evidently refers to
% 'patriots' Of the Poosevet-Moffett brand"
We hope this needs no comment. As for
making use of force the only real force being
used is the very considerable one of public
opinion. which his friends, the paciists, are
attempting TO turn to their own ends.
Indeed. Mr.. Tryon, far from upholdin2
their idealstic views, suspects his paciilSt
friends "of caring more for the scrap
which an EXPRESSION Of their principles was
likely TO get them into than for the princl-
ples themselves" So the friend paciists are
melting ant-draft riots, labor disturbances
and class warfare, and are giving very ma
terial aid and comfort 70 Germany, all for the
sake of a personal Scrap! Quite original,
but IL would be vastly simpler TO enlist.
If Mr.. Tryon IS right in his suspicion, all
uacifsts might be furnished cosey little rooms
in the public homes for the feeble minded,
and the country be rid of a serious pest.
