Our General

That warm spot which American
hearts have always felt for France has
grown with every week of the war. 1t
was undoubtedly the prime cause of
our welcome acceptance of unity Of
command under French leadership. But
there was also an intellectual sympathy,
we think, with the French point of view
which helped greatly. We have much
of the English practically in our make
up. We have not less liking for the
clear rationalism of the French mind.
So it is that we have come swiftly to
feel not only that Marshal Foch is
great general but that he is even more,
our general. We have heard no faintest
word of national jealousy or envy from
any American, soldier or civilian. Our
men in France are as glad and proud to
fight under the great Marshal as we are
glad to have them. Not only his success,
beyond all expectations, is responsible
for this. There is clearness of line, a
swiftness of stroke, in the workings of
the Foch genius that appeals strongly to
the American mind. Our national way
is different; it lacks the finish and (shall
we say, even in wary beauty of the
French process. But it has something of
the same bigness and sweep and devo-
tion to the idea as against the particular
fact.
BY all means let America confer her
citizenship upon General Foch, as Mr..
Hamilton Holt has happily suggested
He is ours by right of the affection and
admiration in our hearts. He is ours by
right of the joint sacrifice on French soil
of the blood of the two great republics
Already by his service he is de facto
citizen of the world-of all that portion
of it which is fighting the battle of
civilization. Let us welcome the oppor-
tunity to ratify fate.

DETECTED from some rather useless en-
ployment. But that is merely guess.
dollar saved from current expenditure
means dollar less in the millions of
millions of dollars that are bidding for
goods and comforts and luxuries against
the government. IF tens of millions of
people save these dollars of needless cx-
penditurc the effect is tremendous. In
the aggregate it means billions less of
money bidding against the governments
billions, to make the war cost twice, and
possibly three times, as much as it other
wise might.
This is the real meaning of buying
bonds with savings as against buying
with surplus funds. The great majority
of the three or four millions who are to
go to France make serious sacrifices in
their incomes and prospects. 1t is up to
the hundred million or more who remain
at home to try to do as much. And such
sacrifices are in reality only shrewd an
ticipation, for the plain fact is that it we
do not make these sacrifices now VIC shall
pay the bill later, from our incomes, in
the added cost of the war
New-York tribune., 1918-10-04
What Are the Wars "Real Costs"

1t is long time since we have heard
very much about the economic exhaus-
tion" that was to bring speedy end to
modern wars The plain facts appear to
be that the burdens of this gigantic war
are not relatively greater than were those
of previous wars of like duration. In
other words, the effort is very roughly
proportional to the capacity, or, if you
please, the actual war power
We know now that the war effort can
not be measured in dollars or in pounds
sterling. If it could, then the "exhaus-
tionists" would have been right and the
war could never have continued as long
as it has. But it is obvious that a nation
cannot spend one hundred per cent of it's
income on war and go on living. Yet
this is exactly what England, for ex-
ample, has seemed to be doing At the
beginning of the war its estimated an
nual income was around eleven billions
of our money. Its actual war disburse-
ments this year will considerably exceed
this. Yet the nation is we'll fed and, on
the whole, prosperous.
To do away with this apparent contra
diction in terms, Professor Pigou, of Ok
ford, has proposed a definition of "the
wars real COSTS" Those costs, says Pro-
fessor Pigou, are measured by "the
things we do without; in other words.
by the sacrifices we make. This has in
teresting implications for our immediate
task over here-that is, raising the
largest war loan in history. A great
many people doubtless measure their
ability to subscribe for bonds by their
current surplus at the bank. They do
not consider what they may sacrifice in
their expenditures. So far as the war
needs of the nation are concerned, the one
is just as important as the other.

lined the foundation Of a German su-
premacy in Western Asia and in North
ern Africa The pathway of Alexander
the Great was to be reopencd for Will
lam ii.
The dream has vanished German
communication with Turkey has been
doomed by Bulgarias collapse. Mittel-
europa, which two years ago extended
from the Baltic Sea to Bagdad, is already
being thrown back behind the Danube,
and the recession is now certain to ex
tend much further. But with Germany
separated from Turkey it remains neces-
sary to deal with Turkey now and for
the future, that there may be no return
of the German to Asia Minor.
In this situation it is not as simple for
the Turk to make peace as it was for
the Bulgar Bugarians know that they
must sacrifice Serb, Greek and Ruma-
nian conquests, but would expect to retain
Bulgarian lands. The Turk, on the con
trary, can expect to save relatively little
Of his still great empire. Not imperial
istic ambitions on the part of his enc
mics, but the crimes of the Turk against
his subject people, have determined Allied
policy.
In q very real sense, therefore, Allen
by's victory promises to prove one of the
momentous events of Western Asiatic
history, and already as an Immediate
consequence great empire is crumbling
before our eyes.

When That
Time Comes

Under no circumstances must any form
of propaganda be tolerated which will tend
to weaken the hands of the President at
the final peace table, and yet Mr.. Hearst
since we have been at war-has repeatedly
and extensively sought to discredit the basic
principle underlying every one of them.
Possibly that is why the Council of De-
fence saysc it cannot trust him
Possibly they feel that should this war
continue for a term of years suffering and
sacrifice may obscure our vision; may dull
our finer sense of justice; may lessen our
eagerness to reach the glorious goal we
have set for ourselves. When that time
comes the soil will be fallow for just such
insidious undermining of our determine
ton as Hearst has proved himself master
Of, and it is reasonable to assume that his
future course VIII be charted by his past
and present one. When that time comes it
IS reasonable to believe that the l. ". VS..
the English haters, the open or secret pro-
Germans, the Non-Partisan League and
every other un-American and pro- German
force will be led by the twelve great daily
newspapers and the seven magazines pub
llshed by William Randolph Hearst Then
will come the true test of our democracy
and of our spirit, and it will be Americas
enemies at home who must be defeated first
of all. The more we fight them now the
less we will have to fight them later
New-York tribune., 1918-10-04

TT APPEARS to be Mr. Hearst's intention
Il to flood Nevada with circular letters
containing among other things this pathetic
appeal:
"The State Council of Defence j..
knowingly or maliciously has used its
great power to hurt an innocent man,
else has suddenly become blinded to the
facts, and the strength Of hearsay or
paid propaganda does Nh Hearst and his
paper a great Injustice"
And then again, III another appeal, which
I assume he will distribute, declared that
the opposition to his publications may be
due to the big interests, which do not ap-
prove of his policy of public ownership,
abolition of booze, clean politics, better
wages and hours, etc, etc The man who
wrote the stuff is either liar or an idiot,
and the cleverness of it eliminates the lat
ter hypothesis from my mind.
Above ALL Mr. Hearst now desires to be
judged only by his editorial utterances
since the United States has been in the
war; but cries "King's En-" on anything
that went on before.

Since We Haue
Beer, at War

But then it isn't necessary to speal. of
the days before the United States entered
this conflict. If constant readers and loyal
ones-of "The Examiner" and other Hearst
publlcations-are not aware Of the fact that
their opinions and their reason are still be-
ing undermined that fact is the best posi-
BILE proof of the extreme peril which turks
in these organs
Since we have been at war Hearst has
opposed our programme of sending men,
food and supplies to assist our allies and
called upon Congress to prevent it (April
III. President Wilson has most nobly
pictured the reasons we are in this war Mr.
Hearst throws the falsehood in President
Wilson's teeth by asserting that "the pain
full truth is that we are being practically
used as mere reinforcement of England's
future aggrandizement" april 24), and
again on March 23, This proposition that
we shall finance the Allies and send our
boys for cannon fodder is q Wall Street
proposition and nothing else" Mr.. Hearst
is not alone in this opinion. Every unhung

still at large in the United States is even
now preaching from this same text.

The Wounded Marines

The argument that wounded soldier
makes for the Liberty Loan is as un-
answerable as a machine gun bullet 1t
is complete before q sound is uttered.
Most Americans wish only to shake
hands-before they hurry off to sub
scribe.
That is why the wounded marines Of
Belleau Wood---now Bois de la Brigade
des Marins Americains-were the best
pleaders for the loan in the city this
week. If there is any false squeamish-
ness about seeing wounded soldier any,
where, the sooner it is recovered from
the better. We shall have many of them.
And by the new wisdom in the treatment
of injured humans they are to be active
and useful members for the rest of their
lives--with a little extra honor and
good will to the end That honor has
already begun. The cheers for our
marines were heartfelt and long. So.
too, were the bond subscriptions in their
wake.
We won't go through the form Of put
ting in words the argument that these
men made wherever they appeared. But
have you made your sacrifice in the
name of the wounded American soldiers?
New-York tribune., 1918-10-04
Compelled to
Kiss the Flag

Mr.. Hearst is in the position precisely of
the detected pro- German who is compelled
by delegaton Of outraged citizens to kiss
the American flag. He is vociferous in his
suddenly acquired loyalty, but many of us
will still persist in judging his character
and heart from what he said and did
previous to last May, when the new espion-
age law into operation.
1t is trite to say that we are fighting for
an idea-or, to put it in another form, to
destroy idea. England and France and
Canada long since prohibited the circula-
ton of the Hearst newspapers in their do
mains. Likewise they denied his CORE
spondents the right to use the cables Such
was the attitude of our allies, giving of
their lifeblood to cause for the support of
which we have pledged our last dollar and
our last man.
However, it is but fair to Mr.. Hearst to
state that the beligcrent nations are not
of one mind. The Kaiser spoke very highly
of Mr.. Hearst to Mr.. Davis and character
lied the Hearst newspapers as the only
fair papers in America"
Bolo Pacha testified also for Mr.. Hearst.
and in an eulocv of him diates uon the
peculiar characteristics of his idol which
would most probably appeal to a convicted
and later-to-b executed traitor like Bolo.

A New Rifle Range
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The great new navy rife range on
the Great Piece Meadows at Caldwell, ~ j..
Is now open. The range affords opportuni-
ties and facilities for rife practice abso-
lutely unprecedented in this part of the
country.
To quote from the official orders of the
Navy Department governing the conduct of
all navy rifle ranges, of which Caldwell
range is one:
ut is the desire of the Navy Department
to cooperate to the fullest extent possible
with its facilities in carrying out the pro-
visions of Section 113 of the national de-
fence act, approved June 3, 1916, requiring
that all ranges which may have been con-
structed IN whole in part with funds pro-
vided by Congress shall be open for use by
those IN any branch of the military and
naval service, and by able bodied male citi-
zens capable of bearing arms"
This range will be "open to troops of the
army, state troops and all able bodied male
citizens capable of bearing arms, especially
those about to be called into the service of
the United States"
The officers in charge of the range espe
clally desire that a systematic effort be
made to send to the range every possible
man who is registered and about to 90 into
Federal service They will give every such
man as much instruction in rifle, pistol and
machine gun shooting as he will give the
time to take. No greater service can be
rendered by your organization at the pres
ent critical time than to take Immediate and
energetic action with a view to sending
every possible registrant, in organized
bodies or as individuals, to this range, that
he may learn to shoot the service arms be-
fore being called to the colors
Barracks and mattresses are provided
Every man remaining over night must take
his own blankets, and is advised to wear a
uniform or old clothes and to take a poncho
to use when shooting prone Meals will be
furnished at the navy mess at 25 cents
each, or 80 cents per day-payment cash
The range is equipped with rifles (Spring
field and Entield), pistols and machine guns
tsevcral types), all of which are available
Tor use by transents practising ar the
range. The range has supply of ammuni
tlon' and 1t Is not necessary for visiting
parties TO bring ammunition. The nerma
nent range force provides an instructor or
coach at each firing point.
Machine gun schools for special instrrc-
tion of men as machine gun operators will
be conducted. Men will be entered in these

been the editorial citadel of light wines

diately imposed-and upon the site of
every saloon should be built n home, or

possible for the evil work which the
saloon has done in it's day

And the manufacture of even the mlder

OF Brisbane

In the circular matter which Mr. Hearst
is distributing in Nevada he speaks of his
editor, Arthur Brisbane, and Brisbane's
work for the government Mr. Hearst is
not alone i'll his enthusiasm ove1. Mr.. Brs-
bane's talents. The "Kolnsche Zeitung'
of Berlin says that Mr.. Hearst and Mr..
Hearst's editor IN chief, Arthur Brisbane
have been "auxilares Of valued influence"
to Germany, especially because Of the "edi
torials in the Hearst newspapers"
Here Is u list of names respectfully call

For statesman who has been acccl-
Grating in so many ways the conduct of
the worlds greatest war Edwin S. Harris,
chairman of the New York Democratic
State Committee, has recently been ex-
hibiting strangely paci6stic tendencies.
He doesn't want to drop his Office for
reasons which seem good to the Demo
cratic nominee for Governor Yet he
hesitates to fight the issue out to finish
with his critics and his fellow committee
men. An unyielding consciousness of
well-doing in a world of pitfalls should
react with a little more militaristic vigor.
1t should be made of sterner stuff.

Siuvs Upon the
Great Undertaking

Since we have been at war Hearst has
lent the power of his publications to at

tacks on our allies, with whom we have
cast our fortune and our future existence.
One of the outstanding features of the war,
in so far Americas entrance is con-
cerned, is the selcctive draft Is there
true American who is not proud of it?
think not. Yet on June 80 Mr. Hearst said:
Further service in the war should be
matter of choice for Americans.
These papers have said consistently and
