Louis Fcucrstciu KILLED
bv a National Guardsman at Park Avenue
and ii5th Street \ citizen Of sullivan
County was killed few days before under
circumstances specifically different yet
essentially the same. it can be surmiscd.
Without prciudging the determination oi
the facts i'm either case, We can be all 'o"
sure that such accidents arc bound TO OCCUR
You cannot walk into a strange ana
tense hour practically unframed ana
csrapc unecathcd. Our Guardsmcn are
excellent volunteers, and We can ''
suprcmc,v grateful for the patriotism they
have shown i'm cnlisting and undergoing
the training they have. But they cannot
bc treated as fully disciplined soldiers.
Tho sort of blundcrs that arc bound to
occur arc the natural and unavoidable con-
soouence Of our national uuwillin"ness to
look ahead. Any number Of our Guards
men have only a casual acquaintance with
a rife as a weapon TO shoot with The
modern high powered weapon IS neon
ceivably deadly. 1t possesses an eNtraoroi-
nary range. Yet we arc compelled to put
# in the hands Of men whom we have by
our parsimony and stupidity prevented
from learning its possibilities.
There is the other side Of the picture
NOT less important. The day after the
shooting in Park Avenue Guardsmen were
heckled throughout the neighborhood. One
Guardsman was threatened by a man with
a revolver. who escaped arrest through
the aid of the crowd. The truth is that.
rs civilians. we arc unused 10 military
necessity. to military restraint. Too many
Americans when told by a soldier to halt
think that some joke is involved or that
their sacred rights are being trampled on.
Whether amused or irritated, they display
an utter lack Of discipline an utter lack
of knowledge Of the why and wherefore Of
the strict control that war necessarily de-
mands of soldier and civilian alike.
If luck goes strongly against us, if war
on 2 large scale is thrust upon Us quickly,
we shall paw an incalculable price for our
stupidity. But, late or soon, with all
the luck in the world, the bill will be
ample to stagger the most reluctant Of
humanitarians.

Repatriate Them!

A valuable and timely suggestion IS
made in a letter which we print in another
column of this page. Many Americans
have enlisted in the Canadian, British and
French armies and have learned on the
Allied front in France what modern
trench fighting means. These men would
re of great assistance in helping to train
our new armies. They would undoubtedly
prefer to fight hereafter under the Stars
and Stripes. The governments under
which they serve are willing to release
them. But an obstacle Of our own making
stands in the way. That is our eypatria-
ton law, which treats the taking Of an
oath of allegiance to any foreign sover-
cipntv as a remuneration Of American
citizenship.
When our correspondent, who had served
eight months in the British Army Service
Corps. sought a commission in the Of
fcers' Reserve Corps Of the United States
Army his application was rejected on the
ground that he had become ineligible by
expatriating himself. Technically he had
shifted his political allegiance; but in
spirit he had remained an American.
From a patriotic as well as from a mill
tarv point Of view it would be most un-
fortunate if such purely formal renun-
citation of American citizenship in order
to fight in q cause which is now ours, and
in the larger sense has always been ours,
should be allowed to deprive the War De-
partment of the services of thousands of
available trained soldiers.
Congress can easily amend the eXpatria-
ton law by making it inapplicable to
Americans who have fought since August
|. 1914. in the Entente armies and who in
order to fight were obliged to swear ale
glance to a foreign government. Such
an amendment would restore these Ameri-
can volunteers to full citizenship, which
they can now regain only through the slow
process of naturalization.
1t is estimated that thirty thousand
Americans have joined the British, French
and Canadian contingents in France. If
we can get fifteen thousand to twenty
thousand of them back we shall make an
important addition to our trained fight
ing material And more than anything
else we need trained fighting material to
leaven and officer our enormous levies of
raw recruits.

The Wickedness of Waste

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: was interested to see by letter in
your issue of to-day that there is at least
one other who is distressed at seeing the sin
full waste IN connection with the inefficient
nosebags The poor horse tries to get at the
oats in the bag tits it up-and litters the
street with handfus of the valuable cereal.
Is it not possible TO have city ordinance
passed TO punish the careless one respon-
sible? Is it not the right time TO insist that
no one is morally entitled to waste anything.
least of all foodstufs simply because he has
paid for il? Is 1t not time that perfectly
good loaves of bread GUST stae) should cease
to appear in garbage cans? Perhaps a reali-
cation of the wickedness of waste may be

How a Submarine Net Works

Iff.D. 4.. Hofi3 IS Wofi1
4 submarine net is made of wirc rope,
about as taic, as "a lead pencil, and the
n.cshcs are of great size about ten or H.
teen feet square. The net has floats On top
that keep bobbinC up and down like the
float OF fish line. ard on the bottom are
weights that keep the whole thing in per
pcndicular position. The submarine cannot
submcrgc TO very great depths on account
of the pressure 200 feet being about the
limiting depth. J, sails innocently along,
therefore, until 9 pushes its nose into these
meshes. The net now trails along or both
sides Of the submarine It's progress 20: all
ing the fact that something below is sup
plying the motive power. Perhaps the net
suddenly stops, that means that the hidden
submarine has stopped, IT'S nayieators having
made the horrible discovery that thy are
trapped or perhaps the net has become
twisted In the propeller
Under these conditions the wise submarine
rises TO the surface Ii surrcuders, becomes
the property Of the enemy. and its crew are
made prisoners. If it does not take such
action one Of two things viii happen. The
enemy viii wait upon the surface until the
submersiblc comes up. or, If IL starts moving
the enemy viii follow until the inevitable
uprising. But perhaps the surface COM
mandcr gets impatient; i'm such a case he
can let bomb down into the water, which
will explode when 10 touches the roof Of
the submarine

Why?

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: As one reads the papers nowadays so
many questions crop up.
Why don't they ship some Of the German
prisoners over here for US to intern, guard
and feed? The empty supply ships might
&c used for this, and incidentally be insured
a safe conduct home
How does so much news Of the German
socialist activities get out Of that country
unccnsored?
Is it possible to fire the German grain
fields with incendary bombs dropped from
airplanes later in the season?
I'm a most ardent admrer Of your paper.
