Les Garcons
SECURITIES

1t takes more than baptism to make
a name Little children are christened
William or Katherine and just as
promptly become Bill or Kitty The
only names which amount to anything
are those which trip out of the sub
conscious mind. That was the trouble
with "Sammies. 1t required an effort.
1t was coated with the label "Made in
Park Row." which caused it to stick for
an instant or two at the end of the
palate. But we have name for our
soldiers, and it has come with such spon-
taneity and absence Of effort that only
those who return to America from for
cign parts will be likely to notice it.
"Here come the boys now," said young
girl watching for the first OF the Ma
tional Army to march down the avenue.
"The boys did splendidly," remarked a
major general in commenting on the
review. "Thcy had me at the hospital
all afternoon taking out adenoids, and
| didn't get a chance to see the boys"
complained great doctor. "My son
was with the boys boastcd the pro-
prietor of the grocery store just around
the corner. Presently the French will
speak of "les garcons," and then it will

Mr.. Hoover Bites

1t is good news that the ffty-seven
lunch rooms and restaurants that vio-
lated the food regulations are to be
closed by order of the food admins
traitors for twenty-four hours. There
has been splendid compliance with the
food rules by most private homes and
public eating places. The exceptions
have made a lot of plain Americans
boiling mad. Yet the individual has
been able to do almost nothing in re-
proof Of these blatant un-Americans.
This official action is the right idea.
The bulk Of food regulation must rest
upon individual patriotism-to comply
or correct. The teeth Of Mr.. Hoover
should occasionally be shown, however,
for the benefit of that minority of back
sliders and malcontents who have yet
to learn that the United States of Amer
lea is at war and at war in dead earnest.
We need the cooperation of every loyal
American in every war activity. When
it fails we need compulsion with all the
fist of a million loyal Americans be-

The German Red Cross Fund

German submarines have sunk hospital
ships. German aviators have bombed hos
pitals on land. German guns have been
trained on ambulances carrying the
wounded from the battlefield As sym
bol Of mercy and humanity the Red Cross
has been treated by Germany with no
more consideration than if it were the
skull and crossbones flown by a corsair
Have the German-Americans (the
American Germans, as Bernhard called
them) also dishonored the Geneva flag?
The German-American Alliance admits
having raised $685. from its members,
ostensibly for Red Cross work. The
Alliance has documents to show that
about 100000 was transmitted to Red
Cross agencies in Germany and AUSTRIA
Hungary. DR.. Bernhard Dcrnburg got
1913 900 The rest went to Ambassador
Bernstorff
Dcrnburg came here with Red Cross
credentials. But he had another mission,
which was to weld our German-American
population into unit devoted to German
interests and disoyal to America in so
far as American policy might become
hindrance to Gcrmany's programme of
conquest. Bcrnstorff was the head and
centre of the conspiracy of corruption,
sedition, sabotage and inccndarism con-
Quoted here for two years under orders
from Berlin
These are the men who disbursed
funds raised by the Alliance in the name
of humanitariansm for the relief of the
destitute and the wounded. But there is
no proof that these funds were ever de-
voted to the noble uses Of the Red Cross.
The Alliance could have sent all the
money it raised to the Rcd Cross organi-
zatlons in Germany and Austria and got
New-York tribune., 1918-03-12

money and to restrict all needless
freightage, The Tribune has advocated
very heavy increase in freight rates
to the extent of SO per cent or more if
necessary.
For exactly the same reasons we favor
a corresponding increase in the rates
for all forms Of public service. There
is no more effective way of enforcing
that economy which every financier in
the nation from Mr. McAdoo down be-
lieves is absolutely necessary to win the
war than to penalize waste and eXtrava
gance by means of high prices.
If the national government takes the
lead boldly in the matter of railroads
the public service commissions can
hardly fail to follow in SO plain public
need. This would go long way toward
putting these companies on their feet
And it is the straight way.
For the rest, the government has un
dcrtaken to guarantee not merely all
the bonds but all the stocks of the rail
roads Of the nation.
AS a war measure we can see no rea
son why commission of experts and
fnanciers of standing should not be en-
powered in the name of the government
to guarantee for definite period, say
three years, the securities of all other
corporations whose activities are vitality
required in the present struggle. This,
it seems to us, would at once relieve
the markets of the weight of these Sc
curites just as it has in the case of the
railroads.
If. further, there is need for new cap
ital to make needed additions along GER
tain lines, we can see no reason why the
government should not undertake to
case of the railroads.
This would be the simple, direct way.
Why, then, this dangerous War Finance
Corporation?
The difference between the two meth
DDS is the difference, as we see it, be-
tween pure imitation and sound money
and sound finance.
The modus under the War Corpora
ton bill would be this: The United
States government, through this yet un-
named board, of yet unknown character,
by the terms of the bill passed by the
Senate is to issue its I O US to a per
missible extent of FOUR BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS
It is then empowered to distribute this
monster amount of government credit
to any kind of enterprise, practically,
that it chooses. Nominally, these notes
or bonds Of the corporation are to be
sold to investors. But as there is very
little market for this sort of thing now,
what would actually happen, probably,
would be that this paper would be put
through the banks and carried up to the
Federal Reserve Board, which would then
issue paper money against these | O US
of the government.
Why this indirection? In what regard
are the notes of this corporation stronger
than government guarantee of existing
securities?

ten acknowledgements. 1t did not do this.
It's choice of the other course raises the
question whether the Alliance knew or
cared what use was made Of the money,
and whether it did not wink at the en-
ployment Of the unacknowledged funds
by Dernburg and Bernstorff in the dis
semination Of disloyalty, the crippling Of
industry and the destruction of American
lives and property.
Americans have learned to their cost
that nothing outside of Germany is
sacred to the touch of the Boche-not
even the most cherished symbols of hu-
manty

 The first salmon Ia always the most perfect and beautiful that ever was seen. and the angler reflected that if he carried his fish in the bag all. day 1t would dry and lose its lovely sheen. On the top of the brae there was . marshy nook that would answer his purpose admirably. He deposited his treasure In thls nest and. having GOV cred 1t with a thick layer of rushes. went on his way.
 The rest of the day he caught noth- ing except a half-pound trout. Still he was very happy and content as he turned homeward. and whisilrd mpr- riIy as he approached tue nnarsliy nook.

SHELDON GOES ON TRIAL
 TRIP IN AUTO SLED

Yesterday morning Robert Sheldon the king of the auto men. left Fair banks for Chitina on a trial trip with his new auto sled. For two months now Bob has been working on this auto sled. and he thinks he has perfected one that will make travelling between here and the coast during the winter months very sim pie matter.
 This auto sled is Sheldon's bug with which he entered the Labor Day races, and is fixed on runners driven by a drive wheel from behind. which grips the snow. This sled draws sew eral trailer double enders. on which the passengers and freight are car ried.
 Several days ago Sheldon made a short trip out the Valdez trail and brought in an auto left out there last fall. He found on this trip that his new machine could make fifteen miles an hour.
 Sheldon took several passengers with him yesterday and expects to make the. coast without trouble and begin his regular schedule again just as fn the summer tfme.-Fairbanki Citizen.

TRYING TO BEAT UNITED STATES
 IN AIR SERVICE
PLANT WRECKED BY A
 SEATTLE MOB

SEATTLE, Jan .7. - Two civilians and twenty sailors have been arrested for smashing the equipment in the printing establishment of II. C. Pig gott last Saturday night. The esta- blishment has been printing the Daily Call. a radical newspaper controlled by the Industrial Workers of the World. The damage done is estimated at S15,OOO.
 The printing establishment is sit uated in the basement of a building near the Pike street market. The mob seemed fully organized and before the police could resist the efforts of the couple of hundred of men, printing presses has been smashed, type cases turned over and dumped into the streets and the large room looked as if a cyclone had hit it when the riot CTS left.

Germany Took Quick Notice of Fact That America Planned tO Put Ten Thousand Machines

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Jan. z. - Germany's plans for an aerial warfare on a Jarger scale than heretofore is indi- cated in documents taken from enemy prisoners. According to these docu- mcnts Germany took quick notice of the published statements that the United States intended putting tens of thousands of aerial craft into the European warfare. Germany instant ly issued orders increasing that na- Uion's output in anticipation of offset ing the increased enemy force. The documents also stated that thousands of Germans were immediately to be ordered into the special aviation anC Zeppelin corps. The American off cials here are making efforts 10 arouse the nome government to speed up completion of aircraft and develop the American air service in Europe
