Henri Watterson Says RooseveIt's
Request Should Be Granted

In view Of rabid opposition which
Henri Watterson. the well known edit
tor of the Louisville Courier-Jonrnaj
~ tne past shown toward anything
tciohei Roosevelt has placed his
anp OF approval upon, the following
EDITORIAL which appeared I'm Waiter
SONS paper of recent date under the
neau Red Blood VS.. Red Tape is
worthy OF consideration. Both Col.
Roosevelt and Col. Watterson are
fighters when they think they have
anything to fight for:
The proposal of Theodore Roose-
veit to enlist in the Worlds ARMY of
rreedom and go to one Of the fronts
LII EUROPE leading a body Of American
soiulers may not be whistled lightly
down the wind as the melodramatic
performance of man who has a posi-
i've genius for the spectacular 1t
should be considered very seriously
what is war but spectacular? What
Is glory but spectacular? Men are
reached equally through their i'm
agltation and their patriotism, and,
except for the sympathetic and emo
tlonal in man, there would be no
armies.
We learn from the national capital
that although Theodore Roosevelt's
plan or raising division Of American
volunteers for service in France In not
regarded as practical by the general
stan OF the army, there is general be-
lief that President Wilson will avail
himself Of the former presidents offer
to serve in some form or other before
hostilities have got well under way.
THE president is known to be deeply
impressed with the manner In which
Colonel Roosevelt has thrown all par
tisan feelings to the winds, and friends
OF the administration say that any as
sistance which the White House can
consistently give to the Roosevelt plan
for raising volunteers will be given.
"The difficulty so far, we are told.
Is that there is no plan ON foot calling
for volunteers. 1t may come later, but
general staff officers are not enthusi-
astic over the idea. They are against
the volunteer system because they fear
1t will not bring in men fast enough
and men in round numbers are needed
in hurry.
This being true the circumstance
adds to the force of the Roosevelt Of

quicker than any ether man. Agreeing
that the draft plan must be resorted
TO, Colonel Roosevelt would raise his
division and have IL ready to 20 while
congress and the army staff were get
ting the draft machinery started.
As there seems to be some misun-
derstanding touching the precise ma
ture of the one-time presidents offer,
1t may be well to correct the impress
sion that he wishes to command an
expeditionary force. He expressly dis
avows this, advocating full army
corps for service abroad, and pressing
his claim as AN ex-president Of the
United States of previous military ex-
perience' for the command Of divi-
sion In this corps. In other words
all that he asks is permission to raise
his division and then to lead II to the
battle line under a corps commander
selected from the regular service. The
coloners only suggestion as to the
corps commander Is that he shall be
one of our first class major generals
1T Is easy to find objection to all
this and easier to declaim against ii.
Yet there are two sides to 1t, and in
no event should we make light of it.
Red tape is always the rule with the
army staff and the war department,
and, of course, red tape is very neces-
sary to organization.
But just now when red tape Is con-
sidering presidents and statutes red
blood might be doing its part. We
should not allow the opportun mo-
ment to pass II q be required, con-
gress should enact legislation enabling
Colonel Roosevelt to raise division.
He will raise 1t In a hurry. That Is the
Roosevelt way. And 1t viii do more to
hearten the fighting line In Europe
and to encourage recruiting In Amer
lea than any other single agency.
"As the Courier-Journal already has
said, the appearance OF an erstwhile
president Of the United States carrying
the Star Spangled Banner over body
of American soldiers on the battle
front in Flanders will gloify us as
will nothing else. 1t will electrify the
world. In fancy we can see this sub
lime spectacle circling around the
Arch Of Stars and marching down the
Champs Elysees up through the Rue
Royal, and, passing the Madelaine, out
the boulevards to the Column of July,
thence to the front, by that time, let us
hope, across the Rhine"

Trash in the Street Cars.

While the public has a reason for
complaint on the score of inadequate
street railway accommodations, there is
no justification of misuse Of the cars
that are run. Yet a certain class of
street car riders appear to revel in in
dulgences Of which they would be
ashamed in their own homes. It is COM
mon to find the floor of street car in
this city strewn with peanut shells, fruit
peeiings and papers, in most offensive
litter. It is hard enough to keep the
cars clean without the deliberate cover
ing Of the floor with refuse of this kind.
There should be no difference in the
matter of good manners whether one is
at home or in the house of friend
or in public place, and it is distinctly
bad manners to cast trash on the floor
Just why some folks think it is permits
sible to break the ordinary rules Of po-
likeness while riding in public vehicle
passes understanding. There Is a posi-
tive rule against splitting on the floors
Of street cars, which is fairly well re-
spected, though not uniformly. This
rule should be broadened to enjoin the
littering Of the floor with trash.

Keep Away From Halifax /!

II is strange that anybody should
want to 60 to Halifax out of curiosity
at . time ike this, when the city is
stricken with an appalling catastrophe
and short Of all the necessities of life.
Yst apparently enough have gone there
to become q burden to the authorities,
- that they have been compelled to
issue warning against any persons ap-
preaching Halifax save on the most ur.
gently required errands Of relief. This
spirit Of curiosity prevails in all times
OF catastrophe. 1t Is like the rushing
forward Of crowd to see person who
has been mangled by street car, pack
ing into dense ring to peer eagerly at
suffering or Disagreement. This is one
OF the most unaccountable peculiarities
OF human nature. Fortunately Halifax
10 - situated that it cannot be easily
visited, and the climatic conditions are
sueh n to discourage excursions. If any
psTScn is sufficiently interested to feel
Ike going there to see the scars Of last
wesks visitation the best manner of
showing that interest Is to contribute TO
. rshef fund at least the amount that a
journey to and from Halifax would cost.

Mr.. Vanderlip's Tour.

Chairman Vanderlip of the national
war savings committee is on speaking
tour in behalf Of the war savings
stamps. He is scheduled for addresses
in Cincinnati, st. Louis, Milwaukee, Chi
cago, Minneapolis, st. Paul, Omaha
Kansas City, Dallas, Fort Worth, Hous-
ton, New Orleans, Birmingham, Atlanta
and Chattanooga The tour will be com
pleted in two weeks
Success should attend this effort. At
tention is to be expected. The subject
Is new, and by Mr.. Vanderiip will be
treated entertainingly and informingly.
A leading figure in the financial world,
he has put his private affairs by and is
serving the government without COM
pensation in the present emergency. He
speaks with knowledge and authority.
. It was in this way that the campaigns
for the two issues of liberty bonds were
conducted. Secretary McAdoo made
long speaking tours in both those cam
paigns, crossing the continent, and ex-
planning the business to popular audi
ences at well selected points. The eff
feet was excellent. The responses were
liberal. Subscriptions were adequate.
A third loan impends. The amount
viii be large. The people will be ex-.
pected to subscribe as literally as be-
fore. But it may be necessary to can
vass the country again. In that event
it is likely that Mr.. McAdoo will take
the stump again. He has become a ready
and effective public speaker, and, of
course, on financial subjects has special
claims to attention. A third tour by
him should be as successful as were the
first and second
In the second appeal Mr.. McAdoo was
assisted by number of senator's and
representatives. Congress was then in
recess, and members were at home con-
ferring with their constituents about
tie war and its requirements. The lib
erty loan, therefore, was pat to the
tongue; and many Of the lawmakers
who had voted for the loan explained it
from the stump and asked for its sue
cess.
In the third drive the services of
these men win not be available. They
win be here in Washington attending
to their legislative duties. Their places
~ stumpers, however, could be taken by
local bankers or other men Of local bust
mess prominence, and thus NO city or
section would be neglected. Full ex-
planstions of such enormous sums of
money are naturally necessary, and to
be effective must come from sources
qualified to make them.

porters. Last year, as q candidate.
he criticised the Presidents attitude
toward the European struggle, on the
score that IL lacked deHniteness, de-
cision and force. He feared that as the
result Of 1t we should encounter great
difficulties.
When the President changed his atti-
tude, Mr.. Hughes approved and ap-
plauded. He still approves and ap-
plsuds. Doubtless, at their meeting yes
terday, he gave the President assurance
Of his feelings, and equally likely is 1t
that the assurance was appreciated.
As respects the war, Mr.. Hughes, as
have other republican leaders, has put
politics behind him. He considers that
the country, having entered the hos
tiiities, the President, as commander
in-chief of the Army and Navy, is en-
titled to the support Of all in the prose-
cution of the wars engagements.
This does not commit Mr.. Hughes to
an Endorsement Of every step the Presi-
dent may take in the premises. Re-
publicans, and, for that matter, demo-
Gratis also, will be free to dissent at any
time when they think particular pol
icy wrong and dangerous. 1t will be
their privilege, and they should make
it their duty, to follow all developments
closely, and make suggestions whenever
they think the situation justifies obser
vations by them on matter of supreme
importance to all.

an item making for the destruction of
the Turkish political power and cannot
fail to be factor also in a military
sense bearing upon tho settlement Of
this present conflict.
Jerusalem has passed from hand to
hand in the course Of the centuries.
Hundreds Of thousands Of lives have
been sacrificed in the struggles for Its
| possession. No one will ever know the
full losses Of the crusades, directly and
indirectly. The Turks never revealed
their losses in the defense Of tho city
which they priced chiefly because it was
desired by tho Christians. From the
crusadss came great changes, political
and economic. They were force for
