the national ranks that the National

The Press Censorship Substitute.

After voting by large majority to
strike from the espionage bill the pro-
vision for press censorship based upon
a presidential proclamation of prescribed
publications, the House yesterday after
noon unexpectedly adopted by mar
row margin substitute paragraph which
avoids the most Objectionable features
Of the original proposition, but retains
spy legislation. Under the Gard sub
stitute, which is now part of the bill,
the President is to declare by proclama-
ton the existence of national emer-
gency during which the publication Of
information that may be useful to the
enemy is prohibited. But prosecutions
of alleged violations are to be brought
before juries, which are to determine
whether the defendants have willfully
and without proper authority published
the information, and whether that in
formation is of such character as to
be useful to the enemy.
Thus under the provision now carried
by the bill as passed by the House the
burden of proof to jury of willful vio-
iation of the law and of the harmful
character of the publications alleged to
be in violation rests upon the govern
ment. Under this provision, if it should
become law, the mere proclamation of
prescription against certain publications
does not insure punishment in case Of
violations, for the jury is still to deter
mine whether such publications are in
willful violation of the law, and are in
fact of help or benefit to the enemy, and
therefore injurious to the country.
If Congress is going at this early stage
of the war and as part of anti-spy leg
islation to regulate the press, some such
provision as that adopted by the House
will perhaps involve minimum of rea-
sonable objection.

The Rush for Bonds.

If the American people answer the
call to enlist in the new citizen army
at the rate at which they are subscrib-
ing to the new liberty loan there will be
no need Of any form of compulsion to
fill the ranks to overlooking. The first
days responses to the invitation to take
the first loan of $2,OOo,0OO,0OO came at
the rate of nearly $2o,O0o,0O0 an hour.
The total of the offers that had been
classified at the close of business was
$13S, 674, 900. All indications were that
the first loan would be oversubscribed
by fully 100 per cent
In all likelihood the entire loan of
$7,O0O,O0O,0OO would be absorbed in a
very few days if it were placed upon
the market. In the first place, there is
an abundance of capital, and in the sec
ond place there is supreme confidence
in the outcome of the present war. The
capital is at the disposal of the govern
ment, although the rate of interest IS
lower than that which 1t could earn IN
industrial investments.
Thus the millions that have been made
in America during the last two and a
half years as result of the struggle
abroad are now flowing back into the
Treasury for use in prosecuting the war
to finish, as Americas contribution to
the war fund. Part of this is to stand
as loan to the allied countries, in the
form of an American credit, SO that the
cash will flow back directly into trade
in this country as this credit is drawn
upon by the purchasing government
The effect of the loan will be to put
immense sums of money directly into
circulation.

Big Figures.

We are getting used to big figures
1t is natural and proper that we should
be- They inhere in the times and the
situation America is big country. We
are engaged with big things. War calls
for colossal expenditures. Legitimate
consumption is big. Waste is even big
ger. Armies are big. Navies are big.
Banking enterprises and commercial en-
terprises are big. We are preparing to
make American agriculture bigger than
ever. Bigness rules.
See how rapidly we have grown. Com
pare the figures of today with the fig
ures of past day not distant as re
spects our governmental problems. 1t
was only about twenty years ago
that Thomas b. Reed made the remark
which for a time was SO frequently
quoted and commented on. Some men
we're appalled, at the appropriations of
a Congress which totaled little more
than billion dollars. "Why," said Mr..
pteu, ITOHl HIS seat III tiiO L1ouSo, thAS
is billion dollar country"
Later came the billion dollar session,
making, of course, the two billion dollar
Congress. There was much talk about
that, but no appreciate reduction. Big
figures continued. and the Congress
elected in 1912 on pledge of economy
piled them higher than ever. But last
year. when the republicans sought votes
on the democratic record of appropria-
tons, there was no response to economy
promises. The even break the repub-
licans made with the democrats in the
contest for the new House was not ac-
complished on the issue of public ex-
penditures. That proved to be of small,
if any, value.
Now, of course, all records are broken.
A nation at war cannot afford to count
the dollars She must find them and
spend them with a liberal hand. War
costs money. A nation engaged in the
game finds long and deep purse nee
essary.
When the war is over we shall elimi-
nate war expenses. But how rapidly we
shall return to peace figures, and what
those figures will then be, no man may
now say. That problem will have to be
met, as the present problem is being
met, in a spirit of loyalty to public
interests. If the figures remain large,
and the welfare of the country counsels
against reductions, there will be no votes
In an economy cry.

East and West.

Some entertaining banter between the
east and the west on the subject of red
blood and America is being exchanged.
It is keyed in the old charaeterizations,
which seem to have been revived for
the purpose. Again we are hearing
about "the effete east" and "the wild
and woolly west" The east, we are told,
is loaferish and pleasure-loving. The
response to the taunt is that the west is
30 raw and provincial it does not yet
know how to live, or that it forms part
of a great empire.
All Of this carries back to the not
distant past when a popular assertion
was that real America began at the Al
leghanies. East of those mountains was
an imitation, more or less well executed,
of Europe. The people were copying
European customs, and in some matters
European pronunciations. West Of the
mountains was something very differ
ent-something original, virile, indus
trious, capable and progressive. So ran
the legend when the two sections-now
in spirit of fun, and now in a spirit
Of rivalry-made faces at each other.
And yet, as everybody knew, the west
had been recruited from the east. It
was the east under new skies, new en-
vironment, and with more elbow-room.
1t was the east turning herself loose
and rising to an unsurpassed oppor-
tunity.
Now comes the war, and the east wants
to know if the west knows that the
country is in danger and if it will help,
while the west wants to know if the east
will give up its golf, and polo, and yacht
ing, and gossip long enough to 60 into
camp and qualify for the hard life Of a
soldier. The exchanges are lively.
OF course, both sections will respond

blood. Neither would shirk while the
other fought for the common heritage.
And the war will bring them closer to-
gether in the discharge Of army duties
East will meet west, and west east, in
Uncle Sans uniform. They will sleep
under the same blanket, drink from the
same canteen, and do their bits side by
side.
So let the banter proceed. While they
may, let the two sections ring all the
changes on a theme which at previous
time was very cleverly employed by the
wits of both.
