GET TENDEREST CARE
Special Foot Surgeons to Be De-
tailed to Every Camp.

The American soldiers foot is r-
the best cared for of any army
field. This is Indicated by ordCr5 ..-L
the Surgeon General yesterday.
Orthopedic surgeons have been de-
tailed to the camps. and specialists in
this line have been enlisted from civil
life. Others will be selected from the
ranks and taught minor foot surgery.
Acting on the theory that a soldier
is only IS good as his feet the Ameri-
can army has provided the best shoe
known. as well as the care of foot
experts.
Newly enlisted men now in camps,
it is said, will be handicapped at first
because they will be unaCcustomed TO
the severe footwork required. The
precautions outlined by the Surgeon
General are expected to greatly relieve
the situation.

The Same Old Bill

What is surprising about the $4,000 eX-
Governor Sulzer received for making
speeches for the Fusion campaign Is not
that he got it, but that the Fusion Com
mittee paid it. 1t was good enough
venture for him, this selling Of his no
toriety and alleged influence with the
plain peepul' of the East Side. 1t was,
and was bound to be, an extremely poor
investment for Mayor Mitchel's man
ayers.
Mayor Mitchell was making campaign
on the issue of good government, antago-
nism to boss rule and honesty. The testl-
mony in the impeachment proceedings
which separated Governor Sulzer from his
Office should have been sufficient TO indi-
cate the unwisdom of employing him as
one of the advocates of the Mayors re-
election. BY hiring him the Fusion Com
mittee courted the defeat it got 1t may
have made other and worse mistakes, but
even for it the Sulzer investment is high
water mark, so far as we yet know.

example. The people Of Canada have
once more supplied the proof politicians
might always expect if they had faith. But
they never have faith, because they are
invariably unworthy Of the people whom
they represent To have won Cambria and
lost Canada would have been an Allied
disaster. To have won Canada and lost
Cambria is a victory beyond question and
beyond dispute. We did not capture
Richmond in 1864, but in electing Lincoln
the North won the Civil War. This war,
like that Of half century ago, can be
lost only by those back of the front, and
Canada has demonstrated that behind the
line the spirit is as unconquered and in
donitable as in the first line trenches

assertion of King Ferdinand made in his proc

DR.. L. Dillon, the we'll known British po-
ltical writer, warns us about Bulgaria in
saying: "The Bulgars are at one with their
monarch. Bulgarian sentiment, honor, hu-
ranity are words which their descendants
may one day invest with meaning. Their
policy, however, takes full account Of these
qualities in their neighbors, and if fortune
should play them false the Bulgars will again
touch the chord of Slav knship and try to
move their little brothers to pity and indul-

Root Out Disloyal Teachers

One swallow does not make a summer;
one pro-German school teacher, even when
she admits the fact, does not invalidate
the loyalty of the majority of the teachers
of this city. Nevertheless, the statement
of Miss Bankenstein to a Tribune re-
porter that she was German through and
through" added to other incidents which
have cropped out, thoroughly warrants the
investigation by Mr.. Whalen, chairman of
the committee on high schools, and the
kindred one by the Teachers Council to
ascertain the exact position of all teach
ers regarding loyalty and the war.
1t is intoerable that there should be in
official position at this time any person in
sympathy with the enemy or out Of SYM
patty with this nation. It is particularly
unfortunate if such an officials duties con-
sist in instructing the young. AS DR..
Finley, State Commissioner of Education,
has well said, the same degree of loyalty
is expected Of a teacher as of soldier.
Lukewarmness, questioning of the coun-
try's policies and aims, would be unthink-
able from the man in the trenches. 1t is
no more to be endured from the teachers
at home Doubters have no place in the
schools. Assuredly, those who agree with
the enemy have none. They should be
found out and rooted out.

For a Polish Army Here

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Please accept the sincerest thanks
of a modest editor and publisher of Polish
daily for the splendid article on Poland
appearing in your edition of last Sunday.
You certainly are we'll informed on matters
pertaining TO the history of the country of
my birth-a nation which is yet destined,
though not without more and greater suffer
ing, to play an important role in the ultimate
outcome of the present struggle for world
democracy
A Polish army formed here for service in
France will awaken and give heart to the
countless Poles now serving the Central
Powers against their will it is true, and
some prisoners Of war; to the fact that the
cause of Poland lies with the Allies, and
YOU can imagine the possibilities.
Keep up the good work; you are doing il
not alone in the interest of Poland, but OF
true Americanism as well.
