A GOOD SIGN

The war department has started a weed
ing out process which promises to rid the
army of officers who have had German
affiliations. Past records of certain officers
are being carefully scrutinized and it is
intimated that any who may have had
strong German leanings will be dropped
from the rolls.
Captain Walter Stake has been dis
charged. Secretary Baker declines to re-
veal the grounds for Stakes removal, but
d is quite generally believed in official
hcles that the action is based on his
,rmer connection with the Fatherland
ctake was assistant editor of George Syl-
vester Viereck's paper, prior to entering
the army. There may be no connection
between his removal and the allegation
that strong influence was used to assign
him to service at Governors Island, head
quarters of the department of the East. in
stead of at San Antonio, which was orig
inally designated as his station. But it is

FRANCE AGAIN RESPONDS

! We hear little of what France is doing
to win the war, aside from making hight
that will go down in history as the most
gallant the world has ever known. Her
strict conservation of food is taken as
matter of course based upon necessity
The willingness with which the French
people have given of their savings is ad-
mired, but seldom spoken of. The Act1v1-
ties of her civilian population in war work
rarely find place in the news dispatches.
Somehow, America has formed the opinion
that France is fighting nobly, but is doing
little else.
Tn reality France, behind the fighting
lines, is busy as the proverblal bee hive.
Every possible foot of land is being Guilt
waited. Munitions factories are crowded to
full capacity day and night. Men untitled
for military service and the women and
children are straining every nerve and
every muscle to do their full part in max
ing victory certain. They are working
with loyalty and devotion that has never
been surpassed.
Now comes the announcement that
France has undertaken shipbuilding pro-
gram more ambitious than that of any year
in normal times. Sternly realizing the
need for ships now and in the years i'm
mediately following attainment of peace, a
plan has been evolved more ambitious than
that Of any peace year.
Plants are to be established along the
French coast, as we'll as in Algeria and
Undo China, and 100000 tons of shipping
will be constructed in 1918, which is more
than double the total of any previous year.
Wooden vessels have an important place
in the program, but many steel ships will
also be built and the cooperation of Amer
lea is needed in securing the necessary sup
plies. England has allotted some steel to
French shipbuilders and this country will
send 13, 500 tons to build eight ships NOtal-
ling $4,000 tons
Worn and drained as she is in money,
men and materials, it was not believed that
France could do more than hold her own
on the fighting line, leaving the coordinate
responsibilities to her allies, and in re-
spending so nobly to the call for ships she
has again demonstrated an ability to meet
Every demand of the war with willing
ness and a readiness which has excited the
wonder and the admiration of the world

HABIT-YOUR ALLY OR YOUR
ENEMY?

We make life easy by our habits, or we
make it hard.
"Our nervous system grows to the
modes in which it is exercised" is the
scientific explanation of habit.
Some of us exercise our nervous system
to our advantage. For example, we have
good habits of putting on our clothes
neatly, quickly, and without thought And
some of us have bad habits of temper, or of
worrying, or over eating.
We seldom recognize the power of any
habit until it is formed. And the great
trouble is that we slip into habits, good
and bad, drift into them, or slump into
them without thought. But they are none
the less binding because we have not in
tended to make them, and it is none the
less hard to break them.
What the new soldier in training suffers
from most is not the change in his food
and collars, but the making over of the
habits of his body to suit his new profess
sion. The walking habits of the soldier
are often bad and it takes months of train
ing to replace them with the fine easy
marching habits of the regular army man.
Many human habits are being made
over by the war, and there is no reason
why the soldier boy should receive all of
the discipline and benefit
Once in a while it is a good plan for>all
OF us to take stock of our peculiar assort-
ment of habits-and then to treat them as
allies-or as enemies

A PLEASURE GIVING AN
NOUNCEMENT.
(Tampa Tribune J.

The announcement in the press
yesterday by Mr.. Justice J. B. Whit
field to Supreme Court of Florida
that he will offer himself to the
people as their Supreme Court JUS
tice again net spring, is the first
definite statement the people have
had that the rumors concerning his
retiring at the end of the term are
not true.
There are men who doubtless
would have him retire voluntarily
because they want the position and
think they can land it; others we are
told would like to have the members
of the present court almost without
exception, retired if such thing could
be done. Others still, and we know
they are in the large majority. be-
lieve that the makeup of the State
Supreme Court should be left as it
is for years, long enough for the
State to get some real benefit of the
ripening experience of the men now
deciding the judicial problems of the
state.
1t is not best for changes to be
| made too often in the judiciary. In
fact, we believe that the best inter
ests of justice would be had by TAX
| ing the courts, certainly the higher
! courts, out of politics. and electing
the justices for life or during good
behavior. If this were done, there
would be more care exercised in the
selection of men to fill this most
responsible and really, in our opinion,
the most honorable position the state
has to offer.
This line of thought has been sug-
gested by the fact that in the very
| announcement of Justice Whitfield's
candidacy lies also the fact that there
is liable to be some opposition to his
reelection, and as there is no telling
what a political election in Florida IS
going to do, it is possible that he
may be left out.
The Tribune hopes that confident
aspirants will refrain from Interior
ing with what we believe to be the
| est interest of the state-the pres
ent complexion of the Supreme Court
We say this at this time especially
because it will affect Mr.. Justice
Whitfield whom we believe to be one
of the sanest, most logical and sound
judges the state has had in MANY
generations. His opinions have all
the earmarks of the learned jurist
that he is; and the opinions of the
court when written by him stand as
gems of soundness and legal ac-
curacy.
We trust younger aspirants Will
continue to cherish thei rambitions
for few years longer, so that they
also may be benefited by the learn
ing and the example of the jurist
whom they would displace merely be-
cause he has to enter a political race
every so many years.
Because he is commissioned for
>fx ,o+ an
why. so long as he is the jutice he is,
he should be made to contend with
some political aspirant for the posi-
ton.

FREE DRINK GETS
MAN in TROUBLE

At preliminary hearing before
United States Commissioner Sullivan
yesterday morning. Thomas Barrett
was bound over to U. S. court on the
charge of selling liquor to members
of the military forces of the United
States while in uniform.
The defendant was arrested yester-
day, and stated to the commissioner
that he. had bought a drink for him
self, and was walking through park
with the flask when he met man in
uniform who asked him for drink.
This, he admitted giving him, but said
that he did not know it was against
the law to give liquor to man in
uniform.

For 40 years Germany has been the hot
bed of race prejudice. Teaching of racial
superiorities and inferiorities was part of
the Prussian policy. 1t was necessary in
order to poison the German mind with the
belief that they were chosen people called
for world domination.
Only in Germany were the fantastic
theories of racial development, spun by
pseudo-scientists on the basis of the evolu-
ton theory and the discovery of the Aryan
language affnities, taken seriously. What
was wild amusement of faddists in other
lands became part of German statecraft,
education and religion.
Germany invented the Yellow Peril. 1t
was Bismarck who first voiced the idea
that Western Europe might again suffer
Tartar invasion.
While breeding nation of white Huns,
German statesmen sought to con lure ~
another menace of yellow Huns, probably
to blind Americans and Englishmen to
their own interests and real peril.
Germany's forcible seizure Of Chinese
territory and her coercion of Japan after
the Chino japanese war in the nineties
were justified on the ground of thwarting
the yellow PERIL
Germany was the stamping ground of
anti Semitism. Jews were Disseminated
against financially and socially up to the
very beginning of the war; and i; was prac-
tically impossible for a Jew to obtain a
commission in the Prussian army. It was
the Baltic-German clique in the cars
court that invented Russian anti-Semitism
Likewise it was in Germany that the
doctrine of the degeneracy of the Latin or
Mediterranean races was first started on
its vicious journey around the world.
1t is shameful to remember, but this Ger
man-implanted idea was widespread in the
United States after the Spanish war. Re-
turning from German universities and
readers of Max Nordau's absurd books
helped make it popular. The doctrine is
dead now. 1t vanished in the battlesmolle
Of the Marine, never to lift it's head again.
At the outbreak of the war German
agents in the United States did all they
could to arouse race prejudice in the United
States against the allies by harping on the
Japanese alliance and the use of Indian and
African troops by France and Britain
while they themselves were arming the
Turk for his onslaught on Christianity

Another claim in the bill of COM
plant that the profits on the estate
Of Mary E. Scott since her death are
upward of $4,000. The estate is in
realty, money, bonds notes, stocks and
all other forms Of personal property.
He Learns the Facts
Young Scott claims he did not dis
cover any other things until February,
1917, and then only through w. H.
Casady, one of his attorneys. He
had lived for years in Peoria, ILL.,,
for time his father wrote him reg
ularly and then stopped without ex-
PLANTATION or reason. After writing
many letters and getting no reply he
concluded his father must be dead
and wrote to Attorney Casady at
Kooskia for the facts. This led to the
complete revelation = that Wallace
Scott was living and possessed of
property worth $750.000.
Asks Court for Much
The plaintiff asks the court to an
null all the acts OF Wallace Scott with |
reference to the estate Of Mary E.
Scott; that he and his father be de-
creed the only heirs; that he be given
one-half of all the community prop
erty at the time of his mothers death;
that he be given one-half of all his
mothers separate property at the time
of her death; that Wallace Scott be
compelled to render a full account of
all the property; that Wallace Scott
be credited with the $4,000, the $500
and the $50 paid to his son; and that
he be required to turn over to his
son, Warren F. Scott, all the property
the court finds to be his.
If the plaintiff wins in all his con-
tentions it is estimated that he will
receive property valued at 100000 to
100000.
