DuCkING THE GUILLOTlNE.

The New York Evening Post dis cusses the falling out of the German rogues, which, in way, reminds one of the famous Nash cartoon printed during the Tweed regime, when each thief was pointing to the other as the guilty one
 As the Post we'll observes, there is always recrimination after a war by the losing parties. The faults of the victors are forgotten in the joy of the triumph. did not know that war was to be de- clared and was advised to leave Berlin so that war could be avoided.
 Hollweg says that William states a falsehood. He intimates that it was William who was keen for the war.
 The crown prince babbles along and says that we wanted peace to be made after the battle of the Marne ill 1914 He says he never favored the war, but that the general staff told him to mind
 
 his own business. HollWeg has also sent out alibis.
 Won Moltke, the first chief of staff is dead Von kluck, the great com mander of the German right wing, is dead. Hindenburg did not have much to do at the beginning of the War, be- cause he was not in favor at court.
 There were three gangs in Germany responsible for this war The kaiser and the other members of the royal family the prime ministers and the other high cabinet officers, the genera staff and the junker- r-business element The kaiser and his gang wanted war, because it was either war ol socialism, The ministers merely reflec- ted the kaiser, because they were ap, pointed by him and they were not re sponsible to any one but him.

Cause and Effect

IL Is Slgnl1cant, even OmlnOuS, that 80
soon after Mr.. Hurley's warning against
enemy plotters and his order for the in
creaslng of the guards around war plants
and shipyards, a series of fires should
break out attended by all the circum-
stances which have marked the work of
the Hun incendiary heretofore. The big
blaze at the Port Newark Terminal. a
huge shipbuilding plant and depot for
government stores; the practical destruc-
ton of shipbuilding plant at Baltimore
and the burning of woollen mills near
there working on government contracts,
the fire in Westinghouse plant at Buff
falo, the fire on board the big liner at her
pier here, are all of piece.
Nobody in his senses can believe that
these were all accidents In two cases the
probable incendiary was seen and shot at.
At the Baltimore shipyard he dove into
the water and is supposed to have drowned
At the Newark plant fleeing man was
challenged by soldier guards; he retorted
by shooting the hat off one of them and
made his escape.
The organization Of spies built up and
financed by the German Embassy under
Bernstorff is warning on the United States
now quite as successfully as it did when
this country was not supposed to be at
war, and so was theoretically unable to
strike back. Private detectives. local
police, soldier guards, seem unable to
prevent the preparation of these crimes.
few enemy agents have gone to jail.
But Spoermann, caught under crcum-
stances which in Germany would have
meant his death at the hands of a fir
ing squad or a hangman without fuss or
delay, seems to be in danger only of in
ternment. Denial has been entered bv
various government agencies of a declara
.tlon that fourteen German spies have teen
executed in this country since the begin-
ming of the war. The military authorities
exhibit the most intense solcitude to have
ell cases tried-not by courts martial. but
by civil courts.
10 the man in the street there is an
mescapable connection between these two
sets OF circumstances. There is every like
llhood that the lucrative and simnle Hum

they would face drumhead courts instead
OF merely taking a chance Of internment

beng tried with the usual delay in the
CIVIL courts, where lawyers can present
such case that even Tauschcr escapes
punishment.
Why all this horror at the very idea of
executing spies" War cannot be conducted
without killing. 1t might be better to
shoot a few German spies here than to
lose industrial plants whose output could
save the lives Of thousands of Americans

the work of Generals Crozier and Sharpe:
Yes, perfectly; under the circumstances
they did the Best that possibly could be
done"
A Secretary Of War who has such IL
luslons and who tries to impose them on
the public is a hindrance to real military
preparation His point Of view is all
wrong. The country has not expected him
to perform miracles. 1t is not interested
in his efforts to demonstrate that the War
Department has shown miraculous or near
miraculous efficiency. 1t would feel much
more kindly toward him if he had thrown
himself on it's charity, admitting failure
IN many spects-failure to anticipate the
requirements of war when war had been
long foreshadowed, failure to get the ma
chinery Of the ordnance bureau going at
emergency speed when war came, failure
to plan and to coordinate. The depart
ments task was enormous, and the per-
formance of it should have been entered
upon in a spirit of modesty and humility.
The spirit shown by Mr.. Baker is that
of man impatient of criticism and re-
sentful of suggested improvements in
method. Mistakes certainly cannot be
remedied by denying or belittling them
The people want to have the war brought
nearer to them. They want to know what
is going wrong and why it is going wrong
They must fight and pay. Therefore they
ask the truth from the War Department,
not soothing "reassurances
Is it wonder that they have become
disquieted and impatient and are seeking
relief from the present situation by de-
manding control of the War Department
which will give them it's confidence and
win theirs in return by admitting falli-
bility and trying to profit humbly from the
lessons of past negligence and shortcom-
ings?

Congress and Cosrnic Force
(rrom The Chicago Tribune,

Nron Ihe chicago 1riUure)
The Hon. Joseph Gurncy Cannon seemingly
expressed the sentiment of Congress when
he said voting for the experiments with
"garabed," that he had made fool of him
self when the Langley flying machine appro-
priations were being considered years ago in
the House. and he did not intend to be found
IN the way OF anything scientific again.
The Senate has again passed the bill for
the experiments with "garabcd," means-it
is dcscrbed-of utilizing cosmic force to win
the war. The inventor, a man cxcellently
recommended and accorded reputation for
unimaginative science, AYERS his ability to
employ unutlized forces of nature, and Con
grcss is willing to give him the chance to
Go so.
What Congress reveals is the disinclination
to affirm any disbelief in any humanity con-
trived miracle. Too many marvels are in
the air and under sea. at work in laboratories
and IN the field, for healthy skepticism to
exist Congress is in the typical human
mood. If any one says that a cosmic force
can he harnesscd. Congress will go after the
harness ana, sit by to see the workout

percentage must be increased to 90 at

such bread, properly prepared and baked,
should not be perfectly palatable.
Our allies in Europe all use war bread,
and there is every reason to believe that
it is as nourishing as bread made entirely
Of white wheaton flour. Some reasons why
it is SO necessary to export wheat arc
clearly set forth by competent authority

"Victory Bread"

NO iault can reasonably be found with
the latest restrictions on the consnmntion
of wheat. Here, as in other countries :.
belief prevailed before the war that most
OF the cereals fed to animals were scarca1,,
III tor human use. The result was an eno,-
nous wastage, though of course nuch of
ehe supposedly inferior food was. as it
were, ultimately used for human consumn-
tlon IN the form of beef, pork and milk
AN Idea OF the amount of edible grain that
might be made available was given IN
hgures last year by Professor r. B. Wood
OF the University of Cambridge. who cal
culated that of 100000 tons of yarjous
Kinds OF cereals consumed in Great Brit
am no more than 100000 were used be-
fore the war for human food.
1t is we'll known, indeed, that corn oats
barley and rice are wholesome human
foods, but the habit Of depending mainly
upon wheat made people suspicious of the
dlgestibility and nutritive value of al,
substitutes. The result was that there
were many complaints wherever the 60
called war bread was first adopted. It has
been observed, however, that those who
were obliged to consume it contriyed be-
fore long to adapt themselves to it. and it
is very doubtful whether the complaints
were not mainly fanciful

Caspar Whitney's Articles

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: l read last night the article in Sun
days Tribune from Caspar Whitney. l am
compelled to say that it gave me more pain
than any article have read since I learned
my A, y, C's and yet it was the kind Of pain
ought to experience. If all our people could
take in the meaning Of what Mr.. Whitney
says there would be such universal demand
for speed and the dismissal Of DID, worn-out
country before. Mr.. Wilson is filling his
place in most remarkable way. lie seems
really to be the mouthpiece of that part of
the civilized world outside of Germany. But
what we need, as Mr.. Whitney says, is eff
cheney in the War Department.
l write to ask you if there is any chance
to have at least twenty million copies Of Mi
Whitney's article published in pamphlet
form for distribution among the American
people. | am myself without any money en-
cept enough for living expenses, but I am
willing to pay $40 toward a subscription to
secure enough money to publish twenty mill
ion copies of Mr.. Whitney's article l notice
he is to have more, but l suppose he has them
all prepared and they might all be thrown
together in one pamphlet. Not single PAM
phlet should go across the ocean, neither
among the Allies the Germans, but the
whole issue should be for home consumption.
