GOING THE LIMIT

Recently the dispatches made note
of the fact that the sauerkraut manu-
tucturers in New York City appealed
TO the Federal Food Board 10 do any
thing in its Hoorerian power to pre-
vent prejudice. born of false patriot
ism, from driving Sauerkraut off the
American dinner table. They say that
the objection TO this dish arises from
its name, and it is desired to have it
changed TO Liberty cabbage" Well,
sauerkraut by any other name would
smell as, sweet. but why not call it by
its English equivalent, sour cab
bage?" In these throat-parching days,
when John Barleycorn is hated with
an intensity excclled only by our
hatred Of the Hun. it would hardly do
10 call sauerkraut what It really is
fe1Tnented cabbage. But "Liberty cab
bage."" Shades of Madame Roland!

THE CALL OF THE TRIBE

In time of war We 30 back largely
10 elrmentals. War is brute fore"
guided by intellect and but littl" Am"-
liorafsd BY human sympathy. tn
soldier who haltS his sword in mid
air for even an instant goes down be-
fore his antagonist. who strikes first.
This is true of L nation as Of an indl-
yidual lighting NAN. There are many
things we dislike to do. but self-preser-
walton requires action. swift and sure.
We must adopt many Of the methods
OF primitive man. We must act upon
many Of the rules and impulses that
govern tn" tribes of barbarians.
Among other things. when the call OF
the tribe has been given, We must per.
nit none TO refuse 10 respond or Shirk
his duty.
In the. great American melting pot
all lovers Of popular government have
been merged into tfibe--a comming-
ling of the Sioux. Apache. Comanchc.
in other words, Slars. Teutons. Sax
ons, Latins-a tribe Of Americans.
The call has gone out to the tribe. and
any member of the tribe who fails to
respond with his person. his services.
his talents and his money must be
dealt with largely according TO the
primitive methods Of the tribe. We
shall not scalp the Stacker. liierally
with Il knife, but do it none the less
effectively by more refined modern
methods. Ostracism, business and So
cial. may b" found 10 be the just pun
ish1nent Of the man wha heeds not the

that the French bankers had accepted
their terms that very day, and that they
would, therefore, need no American
money at that time. He was exceed
