SAYS POWER OF PRESS, NOT
GUNS ENDED WAR QUICK

"The power Of the press. not the
power Of armies ended the war" said
DR.. Eugene A. Crockett, Of Bosto, ow
q major in the American Red Cross
at Trieste, according to an Associated
Press dispatch.
He added that he had interrogated
hundreds Of prisoners Of every nation
ality who had returned from Austria,
and they had all agreed that Austria's
death blow was dealt thru the me
dium Of the press by President Wilson
when he announced that he had recog-
unized Czecho- Slovalia as an indepen-
dent belligerent state and power.
The press succeeded in sending the
news of President Wilson'S message
thru the dual monarchy where it cir
culated among the people and soldiers.
When the message reached Prague,
the Bohemians Immediately ordered
the Austrians to leave and set up their
own government within twenty-four
hours. The Austrians realized that
it was useless to resist.

THE BOYS OF EIGHTEEN

In view Of the fact that the young
men Of the country who have reached
the age of eighteen and who register
ed for military service last spring are
TO receive questionnaries as soon a.
the local exemption boards can send
them out, the following speculation
from Leslies' will interest many.
AS under the law recently passed
boys from eighteen upwards win be
drafted into the army there Is !
question that will seriously worry
over . million families in this country.
That il the question Of their educat-
tion. The average lad Of. eighteen has
largely passed the high school period
and is not ready for college. These
the government takes and cuts of
from all except military educational
facilities. On the other hand hund-
reds Of thousands Of boys win be tax
en- who never expected to 10 beyond
the grammar school period, and many
who have evaded education Altogether.
There is no doubt whatever that the
military enforced training viii raise
the standard Of our youth to an effi-
cient manhood in way that g .
whole, II would never have obtained
before.
"Nor must It be forgotten that mil
itary, or naval or aviation training
consists not only in . physical setting
up Of the body, but also Of the inten-
sive mental training that the civilian
little understands. OF the thousands
Of boys under twenty who fought in
our Civil War, there emerged : crop

Christmas in France

Christmas is chldren's day above all
else Every American grown-up has his
flock, his own, his family's or his
friends, with whom he will celebrate For
American children the day means this
year more happiness, more cheer, more
toys, more candy than in long row of
Decembers A merry Christmas, indeed
But what of the children of France;
what, especially, of the million fatherless
boys and girls to whom peace cannot re-
store what the war has taken away? To
much of France peace means increased
hardship. The hundreds of thousands OF
prisoners that are returning from Ger
many bring sickness and wasted bodies
for overwhelmed families to care for
Christmas, 1918. will be gayer for all
France than it's four predecessors. But
it will not mean more food for orphans
to say nothing of more candy and toys.
SO we ask every Tribune reader, in the
fulness of his Christmas heart, to add a
French child to his flock Of cherished
little friends The need there is not for
Christmas gifts, but for plain susie
nance. The organization known as the
Fatherless Children Of France offers a
direct channel by which you can reach
and help and know a French child whose
father has lost his life in the war Ten
cents keeps child one day in its mothers
home; So keeps a child one month in its
mothers home; $3.50 keeps a child one
year in it's mothers home. Of the money
thus subscribed not one cent goes to or
ganizaton eXpenses-the entire amount
goes direct to the mother of the child.
With the first instalment of your money
goes a letter from the Paris committee
explaining the friendship which has
prompted the gift and enabling the child
or it's mother to write and thank the
"donor" in America.
Now is the time of all others to begin
this friendship with a French child-in
your own name or for your own child.
But it is in the years to come that the
full flower will bloom Ten or twenty
years hence think what it will mean to
France and to America that there will be
coming to manhood and womanhood
these loyal friends of ours, who learned
their affection for our country in child
ish gratitude and friendship! What
closer bond could knit two countries to-
gether.
Over 100000 French children have
been thus helped by American friends.
The City of New York is behind in its
quota, but we are confident this hardness
needs only to be stated to be ended. The
New York treasurer of the Fatherless
Children of France is Alexander ].
Hemphill of lao Broadway, and to him
your check should be sent. You can pay
your subscription by year, quarter or
month. Begin your French Christmas

Woman VS.. Bolshevisn

About the most striking feature of
women as they take their place in poiti-
cal life is an innate and natural antipa-
thy to Bolshevism. The Battalion of
Death set the example by fighting Len
inc and Trotzky. Nine Breshkovskaya,
"Grandmother of the Russian Revolu-
tion.' refused to follow the red flag when
it became stained with the new tyranny
of the Bolsheviki
In England the leaders of the womans
movement displayed great patriotism and
a vision. They abandoned their fight for
the vote promptly and transferred all
their great ability and influence to the
organizing of the nation against the Ger
man. Mrs. Pankhurst and her daughter
fought vigorously the whole pacifst-
Bolshevik movement in all it's forms.
Here in America our women, too, have
been jealous and sure in their patriotism,
in war spirit, in opposition to the disn-
tegrating forces of red-handed radical
ism. Now comes the Women's National
Committee of the American Defence So
cety with a stirring call to women to
fight the red flag and all its works.
Is it too soon to generalize concerning
the masses of women? Perhaps. Yet,
have we not always known which was the
more PRACTICAL common-sense sen?
New-York tribune., 1918-12-16
Peace With Subways

For the sake of the strap-hanger and
the taxpayer, hostiities between the
Public Service Commission and the
Board of Estimate should at once be
terminated by an armistice, to be fol-
lowed, after negotiation, by permanent
peace. Acrid discussion between Com
missioner Whitney and Controller Craig
in the newspapers should be superseded
by courteous conference around table
to straighten out differences and get the
work on the dual system prosecuted.
The Public Service Commission, hav-
ing now complied with the requirements
of the Board of Estimate by presenting
a detailed budget of it's working ex-
penses for 1919, and also list of the
contracts which it proposes to make in
1919, with estimates Of their cost, ar
ranged in order of urgency, the Board
of Estimate will serve the city if it
makes prompt appropriation of funds
that will allow the commission to recruit
its force, which was depleted during the
war; and to let, with the minimum of
delay, the contracts necessary for get
ting the full use of those lines now
nearly completed.
While conserving carefully the city's
credit, the Board of Estimate can ap-
portion for rapid transit construction
funds enough to permit quick compile
tion of the work on which both bodies
concur, and open-minded consideration
should bring agreement as to the sound
est policy to adopt respecting the doubt
full cases.
New-York tribune., 1918-12-16
The Contrast
now.

AS the armies of the Allies march
into Germany they cannot help but re-
member what they have left behind them
in France. The scenes of desolation
wrought by the Hun come vividly be-
fore their eyes. The ruined churches,
the stricken homes, the devastated
felds-these remain poignantly in their
thoughts. And then they see about them
a land untouched by war, where folk
eat, drink and are merry. Perhaps life
does not 90 on quite the same as it did
in former days; but the difference is not
startling. BY all accounts the Germans
show few signs Of suffering. They go to
the theatres, they fill the restaurants,
they live comfortably, if not happily
but they bear few marks of these. They
greet the invaders sullenly, but the old
arrogance of the days Of peace has not
departed from them. When General Won
Einem speaks of the victorious return
ing German soldiers he finds many cred
ulous believers.
"Look here, upon this picture, and on
this" Think what the Hun has done in
France and in Belgium. What must
these French and Belgian soldiers who
have had all that makes life dear swept
away from them feel when they see their
brutal oppressors thus exempt from all
they have endured? 1t is not surprising
that their advent was dreaded by their
defeated enemies. Had the Germans
been marching into France after French
men had ravished all the lands to the
Rhine, it is easy to imagine what they
would have done. To imagine French
men giving them cause for terrible re-
taliation is more difficult. The dishonor
of making war like savages belongs to a
single nation. But most of US impute
to others our own failings. The Ger
mans are no doubt relieved of great
terror by the civilized behavior of the
Allies, but it is unlikely that they un-
derstand it,
An Englishman who visited a German
internment camp in England said to one
of the prisoners: "Why, you are better
fed than ! am" "Of course" was the
reply; you English are afraid OF us.
That expresses the whole German atti-
tude. OF the decencies of life the Ger
man has no understanding. He can con-
ceive of no motive for humane conduct
but a base one He knows what he
would do if he had the chance. Just now
he is restrained by wholesome regard
for the consequences. He realizes that
these soldiers of the enemy have the
power to compel obedience But he has
not changed his spots. The French know
this; so do the Belgians; so, in way,
do the English. They will not take Il
sordld vengeance upon those who are
helpless to resist, no matter how they
hate and loathe them. But there must
be peculiar bitterness in the reflection
that they who have inflicted the worst
horrors Of war upon others are them
selves escaping unharmed The Ameri-
cans have not had these horrors brought

An Aerial Triumph

Above all question of speculation,
prophecy or imagination, the Navy De-
partment chronicles perhaps the great
est achievement in the recent history of
the aeroplane. One of the newest type
seaplanes, the giant N C-1, on flight
last Thursday at Far Rockaway car
rled total of fifty persons. No
machine for this purpose. 1t was done
simply to demonstrate the tremendous
lifting power Of this newest seaplane
1t is intended for bombing.
The new machine carries three Lib
erty motors, developing 1200 horse
power and giving this enormous craft
a cruising speed of eighty miles an hour.
The machine unloaded, weighs six and
a half tons and has gross lifting power
of eleven tons. That is, it will carry
four and a half tons Of passengers or
freight. And it is an Amercan-built
and American designed machine
The fuel consumption of this monster
craft, with its 1876 feet spread of wing,
possible to consider how far this new
sceaplane will satisfy the conditions
for transatlantic flight At eighty miles
an hour, for flight from, say, Halifax
to Bristol Bay, the machine would have
to be prepared to maintain itself in the
air for we'll over twenty-four hours.
But something over four tons of fuel
ought to be equal to this requirement.
What we know definitely is that in the
Liberty motor we have the best aero
engine that has yet been built for this
purpose, and if the problem is mechani-
cally soluble this country ought to be
able to solve it. And, possibly, at d
rather near date. The detailed figures
as to the performance Of this machine
no doubt will soon be made public. They
may Indicate that a journey across the
Atlantic by airplane is much nearer
realization than most practical minded
folks had believed

All of Them
From The VNLqqerl

n POPULAR opinion wants the lawyers
4 to knot international law about the
- Kaiser's wretched neck, we'll and good;
few of US but would heartily concur And
if it were necessary to go further, as OF
course it would be, and arraign the whole
group of Junkers, branches of the Hohen-
zollern regime who acted directly to bring
about this war, most of US would join the
prosecution. But shall we not have to 90
even further? What are we going to do
about Frederick Won Bernhardi Ernst

all these and what We going to do about
the hundreds Of thousands Of Germans who
received their propaganda, who accepted
the outgvings of Greater Germany the

mittee," and found them good? What are
we going to do about the League OF Ger
man Farmers, the Central Union of German
Industrials, the leaders of the Social Demo-
Gratis and National Liberals as well as of
the conservative parties in Germany; what
are we going to do about the "Chemnitzer
Volkstimme," the "Rhenische Zeitung" all
the list, not of Junker organs, but of So
cialist newspapers which supported the war
programme; what in short, are we going to
do about the great multitude-individuals
members of political, commercial, literary
Journalistic, academic and labor organiza
tions-who lent enthusiastic hands and
unanimous approval TO the plan which in
cluded hacking a way through Belgium;
what are we going to do about these who
number not thousands but millions, and
what finally, since are seeking the ac-
cessories. are we going to do about those
free Germans, legally American citizens
who celebrated the sinking of the Lusitanis
and by their plaudits urged their Father
land on toward further crimes-what are
we going to do about all these Indict the
Kaiser, yes, but let not the effort over
shadow the guilt Of the German people
who supported him.
