DEVELOP THE HUMAN POWER

There are approximately ten million men Of the des.
ignated military age-between 21~and 31-in the Uni
ted states. OF these some two million have been ex-
arined as to their fitness for present service. MANY of
these have been found physically unavailable, Some

Die nature. They could have been avoided by proper
treatment during childhood and by the proper environ
ment during youth. Some have been excluded because
of mental defects. Some have been accepted who while
not classed among the mentally or morally defective,
are still lacking in the quick intelligence and the moral
hbre which makes the: best men and the best soldiers.
sWhere such men have been accepted the Improvement of
their condition means long and hard work both for them
selves and for their officers. Many Of these defects could
have been prevented by the right sort of training.
Just now we appreciate. in larger measure than
common, the Importance Of our man power. Many OF us
nave been shocked when we have seen the records OF
the medical examinations which have shown such a high
percentage Of young men physically incapable Of the
most effective service. And we have equal reason to be
shocked when we realize tbs" amount Of mental and
moral training which will be necessary to bring QUITE a
large number of men up to the high standard of what
we consider real American citizenship. And. If similar
tests were to be applied to young women we should find
similar results.

the forge and the farm, women for the home. for the

HE MISSES THE POINT

The Catholic speaker in the French chamber who
compared the Pope's proposals with the Presidents re-
ply finds no great difference between them save that the
president refuses to make peace with Kaiser Wilhelm II.
This attitude he believes to be a mistaken one because
throughout Germany there are thousands of kaisers. an
mated by the same spirit and committed to the same
ideals.
We fear that the speaker misses the point. It is
ter through what individual it is expressed, that the
president. speaking on behalf of the people Of the Uni
ted States, and, with some measure of authority, for the
people Of those nations which are allies with us, declares
that Peace cannot be made.
This war, as it has shaped itself, and an the United
States enters upon it, is not a war for boundaries. or
ports, or colonies, or commercial privileges. 1t is a war
to determine whether or not peoples may live their lives
and work out their destinies in peace and security or
whether they must be everlastingly forced into combin-
atoms and alliances, the great grouping themselves or
being attached to their more powerful %neighbors. each
group suspicious of the other, watchful and alert. ex-
peeting a blow and guarding against it, and itself wait
ing for an. opportunity to deal a blow on it's own account.
committed. >The latter is the plan Of Germany. and it
is the plan which would result inevitably from the
conclusion. of peace now on substantially the lines sug-
gested by the Pope.
This latter condition would result from the con-
clus1on of any peace, no matter what its form. WITH a
Germany ruled and dominated by what the Frenchman
calls the "kaisers" of the empire. That element must
be dethroned and rendered powerless before Germany
will have a government with whichH other nations can

Red Cross mission, live. syfrHe, alert, high-rninded hui
man beings for every activity which can make the ma
tion more efficient, We deplore anything that can stand
IN the way Of our reaching the maximum. II, as we
may realize now, many Of the things which impair the
human power of the nation could have been removed or
prevented by o little forethought and a little care, If
the human power OF the nation could have been increased
% per cent or 20 per cent, or 5 per cent. would It not
nave been worth while to make some effort and spend
some money for this purpose?
To such a question most of us would not give an aft
hrnatiye answer. It is too late to repair much OF the
damage that has been done. We must make the best OF
the situation as we find 1t. But it is not too late to in
crease and intensity our efforts for the future. The babe

We propose to fight until the forces that menace the peace
of the world are forever suppressed. We hope that be-
cause we fight now and make sacrifices now, those who
follow us will be free from the menace of war. Then
there will be no need of great armies. and the industries
of the nation will not be directed into avenues Of de-
struction. @E 4
But 1t. is as important that those for whose future
we are largely responsible shall be fitted to perform their
part in the work of peace as it is that our people now
shall be able to acquit themselves well in war. Ohe OF
the lessons which this war may aid in teaching lie that
the finest product, the most sacred possession Of q nation

be directed. Beside these all other things are insignih-

mad and rightly 8 They were French
men first and socialists afterwards. It
was the same way with the socialists
of England. They rushed to the de-
tense of the liberties Of man.
Not so the German socialists. Like
ali other Germans they meekly march
ed to the front. They became tools of
autocracy-mere cannon-fodder.
And the same thing is true of their
course in the Reichstag. Philip
Scheidemann, majority socialist lead
er, has consistently swung his follow
ers to the support Of every big Ger
man war measure and credit. He went
to Stockholm to play the kaiser's
game at the so-called peace confer
ence
He and his fellow-socialists were
fattered clear out Of their hides when
den party to Reichstag leaders, ana
tickled when the emperor deigned to
talk to them for a few minutes as il
they were real human beings. There
seem to be only two real democratic
voices in Germany-and they are
gagged. The brave Karl Liebknecht, a
socialist, is serving a prison term.
The fearless Macmillan Harden,
for telling the truth about this war In
his paper, Die zukunft, has been
drafted as a military clerk.
Germany today is the same Ger
many that started the war upon civil-
ization. only it Is a Germany less cock
sure OF victory and, indeed, apprehen-
sive of defeat. But it is still an un-
repentant and defiant Germany, IN
which the common man is a mere
pawn in the autooratic game.
That is the Germany we have to
defeat. He is a poor American who
peeps and chirps Of peace, who pirates
OF democracy, while, at tho same time,
he pleads for an understanding with
the murderous and still uncrushed
forces of kaiserism.

Through the facilities which It provides for the work
of such organizations as the Y. M c. A, the government
Is doing what It can to surround these young soldiers with
environment which will be wholesome and beneficial.
This is a duty which It owes especially under the present
circumstances, when the greater number Of soldiers will
not be volunteers but men who will be required to serve
regardless Of their own inclination. M~anifestly it is the
duty OF the government which requires this service to
make the conditions under which Il is performed aa

forts which are being made in this direction. %

ALIENS. ENEMY AND NEUTRAL

1T may be well to take some care lest our enthusi-
asm for American citizenship carry us off our feet in
our attitude toward alien residents, whether those resi-
dents are subjects of Germany or some other nation.
In the district court in Fargo yesterday four Germans
We're denied citizenship. according to a press dispatch, on
the ground that their admission would be q violation of
a law of 1902 which prohibits the naturalization Of the
subjects OF nations with which the United States is at
war. 500 ~
A movement is also on foot to exclude from employ
ment in the United States alien residents, whether they
are Germans or neutra1s.
It seems that in both cases injustice may be worked.
In the naturalization case the situation is not clear.
Presumably the applicants for citizenship had some time
ago declared their intention Of becoming American citi-
zens. II so their application for full citizenship was
merely the completion Of an act which was begun long
ago. and presumably in good faith. If the law as 1t
stands prohibits their naturalization under such circum-
stances it is probably because, while the naturalization
laws in general have been revised, the law with reference
to the naturalization Of alien enemies has not been re-
vised to TIT. 1t seems proper that during the war a Ger
man subject should not be permitted to take the preliIn-
mary steps toward citizenship, and that he should be kept
under observation by the authorities, being required to
report at stated intervals and give an account of his
This would merely be the part Of prudence.
In the matter Of giving employment to aliens, whetf-
er citizens Of Germany or any other country, it seems diff
ncult to follow any general rule without paying attention
to the circumstances of the particular case and not work
hardship and injustice on perfectly innocent people.
There seems to be no good reason why the citizen Of a
foreign country who happens to be caught here and held
by force Of circumstances during the war should not be
permitted to earn his living in a legitimate way SO long
as he behaves himself.

What We Will Spend 500 Each For

Washington, Sept. 3-What is Uncle

people to pay into the treasury.

cept measly little billion and a
third, which is all Uncle Sam was
spending in peace times, must be
raised because Of the war. But what
Is he buying with it?
In the first place, there are seven
billions Of loans to u allies that
leaves fourteen billions. And then.
there are two billions more, included
in the estimate Of 81 billions, which
are Just an emergency fund, much of
which, however, will certainly be
needed to put through the soldiers
and sailors insurance plan.
That leaves us with about twelve
billions that Uncle Sam is sure to
spend this next year. Of which $780,
100000 are required for ordinary civil
expenses.
Now we come to the real war ex-
penses. The army is the biggest item,
with total estimated expenses OF
$7,826,o00,00 900 for the year. OF this,
S3,638,OOO,O00 go through the quar-

Another big item OF S3,164,0 00, 900
goes to buy gun and ammunition.
The medical service alone is in for
S130,000,0 900 and there are more than
$500, 000, 900 for aviation.
The navy expects to spend $1,624,-

Washington, Sept. b.-The United
States government is mobilizing the
churches Of the country for war work.
The full social power OF the ~
600, 900 people organized. In the
churches and their auxiliary socletles

In these organizations there Is a ca

From the church to the home are
channels Of communication the gov
eminent does not possess.
To harness these forces to food on

gram Of cooperation between the
government and the churches. This
work has been entrusted to George A
Cullen, railroad man Of New York
who has come down to Washington tc

nearly every religious denomination
and mapped u a plan by which the
churches are to keep up the enthusi,

Wicked to Steal Wine g

cidedly wicked to rob a wine cellar
unless you are aSprince. OF perhaps a
crown prince:
Hans Rtedmayer, a I7-year-olo
locksmith's apprentice, was sentenced
to six months Imprisonment at Berlin
for breaking into a prtncely wine cell
lar.
Through his acquaintance with a
valet employed at the palace, he gam
ed access to Prince Frederick Henry s
cellar in the .Wilhelmstrasse and
p1undered it of 218 bottles of wines
and liquors. Though he possessed
himself of the bottles at random, the
lad was fortunate in his choice, Tor
among his spoils were IT. bottles of
Mumm champagne, which were pur-
chased at $3.50 a bottle; q bottle OF
ChaItreuse worth $3.50, and several
bottles of very old French branoy.
