The American Officers Abroad.

Gen. Pershing and his staff have been
received in England and France with en-
thusiasm marked by repeated honors and
attentions from those in high authority
Thus far their sojourn in the two coun-
tries has been a succession of recep-
tons, dinners, luncheons and entertain
ments. 1t should not, however, be

They are the representatives of the

the return of the courtesies shown by
the American people to the British and
French missions recently in this country.
They are reciprocal expression of ap-
probation. This government will prob
ably send no such formal mission abroad
as those that came here from England
and France, and Gen. Pershing and his
staff are thus hailed as the American
equivalents of Balfour and Viviani and
Joffre.
These men in American uniform who
are just at present enjoying the hospi

In London this week German air
planes dropped bombs upon houses and

In the face of this renewed demon

German war method, in the light of this

IS idle to talk of peace, to think of peace.

War Work.

Speaking in Paris about Americas
part in the war, Gen. Pershing said: eve
know what we are doing and what we
want"
His presence was in confirmation of
his assertion. We are on the eve of
putting force on the firing line, and
he has been sent to prepare the way.
He is trained soldier, and knows his
business. He speaks the language Of the
fighting tribe. That is to say, he is
familiar with camps, and marches, and
fighting. He can set force in the field,
and maneuver it. He was selected be-
cause of his military knowledge and
achievements.
At Lincoln, Neb., yesterday Mr.. Roose-
welt addressed large crowd in advo-
cacy of an energetic prosecution of the
war. He was present by invitation, and
the invitation was based upon his abil
ity to bring large bodies Of men to his
point of view. He is trained agitator,
using the word in its polite and proper
Specification. Such work is considered
advisable. 1t has been suggested that
the President himself might do we'll to
deliver a few addresses of the same
kind where they would do the most good
1t is in this way the best and prompt
est returns can be secured The re-
sources of the country are very large.
America represents hundred million
people, who occupy an empire in extent,
and possess great wealth. But in this
war game they will count for little un-
less assigned to duty according to their
training and capacities. They must ac-
eept and perform work cut out for them.
This is time Of stock taking. We
are getting acquainted with ourselves.
We are making some discoveries of
value. One of these is that we trusted
to luck too long in the matter Of the
national defense When we should have
had an army we had only corporaPs
guard. When We should have had
navy Of the first size we had one of the
fourth size. General military training
for the young was utterly ignored.
This reproach, let US all hope, will not
be deserved again. What is now going
on is not for day, but for years to
come. 1t is not believable that after
such an awakening we shall ever 60 to

to join them soon. As unit after unit
arrives comprising the first American
contingent they will be busy organic
ing, establishing camps and receiving
the first instructions in the new style
of warfare for which soldiers must now
be specially trained. They well deserve
these few days Of relaxation.
But these courtesies have, after all, q
more serious design and significance
than the mere entertainment Of the
American officers. They are calculated
to arouse the spirit of the French and
English people by demonstrating the
new alliance against Germany, by pro-
claiming the presence in the war field
Of America as material factor for vic

The New Call to Arms.

President Wilson's Flag day speech de-
ivered yesterday at the Washington
Monument fully meets the occasion by
strongly stating the American case
against Germany and by calling renewed
attention, forcibly and wildly, to the
reasons for this country's entrance into
the war. 1t is a trumpet call to arms,
supplementing the first cali sounded by
him as a preliminary to the declaration
by Congress that a state of war exists.
In his first address the President put
the case convineingly, persuasively and
inspiringly. He pointed out the grounds
upon which this country was compelled
to take up arms in defense of its rights
and its honor and in combat with an
autocratic power menacing the princi-
pies of democracy and the existence of
the American republic. Since then he
has in different utterances laid stress
upon the altruistic motives of this coun-
try for entering the war, and the issue
between democracy and autocracy. These
motives were most appropriately and ef-
fectively suggested in the letter to Rus
STA, which country in joining us as q
fellow democracy seemed possibly about
to leave us as an ally in war.
Yesterdays Flag day address was by
an American to Americans. 1t laid the
necessary emphasis upon the vital fact
that this is Americas war, that it is a
war to protect American rights, lives
and property; that it is war of de-
Tense against power which, if success
full in beating down present opposition
or in effeeting peace upon its own
terms, will surely hereafter attack this
country by direct assault and infict
upon it the same sufferings that it has
inflicted upon those countries in Europe
which it has seized or invaded.
The Presidents speech is important,
moreover, in that it warns against
yielding to the suggestions of peace, in
spired by Germany and designed solely
to prevent the complete defeat which
the interests of the allied nations, in
Guiding the United States, demand. 1t
should be read and pondered by every
American, to keep clearly in the minds
Of the people the fact that in this war
they are fighting for themselves, for
their country, their liberties and their
lives!

Special and Regular Session.

There is still much difference of opin
ion as to the length of the present ses-
! sion Of Congress. Speculation fixes, and
then unfixes, dates. According to opin-
ion advanced when the session began,
tho end should be now. Two months
seemed sufficient for all the work then
in sight.
But Congress is still here. 1t has not
1t is simply taxed with business in great
| volume, and much Of it wholly new in
our legislative experience. Members
have discovered that their first forecast
was exceedingly faulty. There were
more things in heaven and earth than
they dreamt of in early April.
1t may be that the session is but just
getting under way. Certain it is that
some very big questions are not only
undisposed of, but are developing diff
culties as time passes. They are too big
and important to be either hurried or
abandoned. So there is no other pru-
dent course but to handle them with the
care they deserve, whether much or lit
tie more time be demanded.
Regardless, however, of the length of
this special session-whether four, or
six, or eight months-the first regular
session, beginning in December, is GER
tain to be one Of extraordinary moment
That session must provide for the sup
port of the government for the fiscal
year beginning July l, 1918; and it is
safe calculation that the amount of
money required will be very large.
But, in addition to that, the regular
session will have other matters to con-
sider-some growing out of the war,
others growing out Of domestic develop
ments unconnected with the war. Con-
gress at all times has large docket.
Next year a new House is to be chosen,
and third Of the seats in the Senate
will be at issue. AS the great majority
of such nominations are made in sum-
mer, 80 as to give several months to
campaigning, and as candidates find it
to their advantage to superintend ac-
tivities in their own behalf, we shall
probably see the leaders Of both parties
in both houses busy with programs for
as early an adjournment as can be eff
fected. But this year no such pressure
is felt.

remain unsafe for those who do not
yield supinely to its dictates and sub
NIT to its will.
1t is characteristic of the German
mind that talk of peace is accentuated
by such outrages as those just committed
in London, that every declaration for
q resumption Of peace parleys is pointed
with the slaughter Of women and chill
dren. 1t is plain that nothing but alb
so1ute defeat will convince the German
nation that it is misruled as was never
people before, and that the world has
a right to change its system into one
that will not stand as menace to hui
manity.
