---O- DOG EARNS S10 A DAY
Milwaukee JOurnaD

No wonder a certain silky Pomeran- ian dog is looking so complacent these days. He earns $10 day-works hard for it, too. When the time came for him to select his profession, Flaming Flambol chose the movies. Right away he jumped into the matinee idol class. and today his leading ladies are Mary Pickford. Vivian Martin, Juanita Han son and other queenly film personages. Just what becomes of his s10 is a se- cret, but Flambol' is known to have one aching regret-that he can't spend it all on lemon drops and allday suckers.

Foch's Army 100000
(Fron The Philnde1nhio 1,e1aa.a,

From The Philadelphia Tclegraph)
General Foch will command the largest
single army under one man in all history.
The French have under arms nearly
100000 men. The English army in France
is at least half of that. America will very
shortly have 100000 men on the battle-
'front.'
There will be 100000 soldiers under
General Foch on one front and moving in
the same direction.
Hindenburg does not have that many on
any one line or in any one army.
Napoleons largest army was 100000, and
he never had over 100000 soldiers in uni
form in his empire.
Grant had 100000 under his command
during the last year of the Civil War.
Wellington's largest army was under
100000.
Won Moltke did not have in any one army
in the Franco-Prussian War quarter of
the troops now obeying the commands of
Hindenburg

Either Will Do

The House of Representatives should
act quickly on the bill before it changing
the basis on which state draft quotas are
allotted.
The provost marshal general wants to
have the quotas apportioned according to
the number of men in Class i. Many
Representatives want to have the appor-
tionment made on the basis of military
population.
Either Of these methods is much bet
ter than the one now in use. Quotas
have heretofore been based on the entire
population of draft age, including enemy
aliens, neutral aliens and subjects and
citizens of countries which are our allies.
1t is fairer to all concerned to use mill
tary population as a measure of each
states obligation. Then we follow
clear, general rule. Some states may
pad Class l and thus introduce favorit-
ism and inequality.
But it is necessary to go ahead with
the second draft. Differences of opinion
on technical points like these ought not to
be allowed to hold up the work of con-
scription.

The Death Struggle
(From The St. Louis Repubur

froms The st. Louis RepubHc)
1t is painful to contemplate the sacrifice
of life that must result when the two great
armies are locked in the death struggle.
But as the war must be fought out in order
to obtain just and lasting peace, and as
the point of decision is on the West front,
we can only hope and pray that the German
leglons may throw themselves in vain upon
the forces of Hag, Petain and Pershing
The more deadly and desperate the fight
ing, the quicker the war will end In fact.
if the German high command is sincere in
its expressed intention to put the issue to
the final test in this battle, we believe the
war will end right there, no matter if the
battle lasts all summer. And if there is anv
cleanup work to be done, the giving of the
final thrust that will send the Hun squealinr
back to Berlin, we hope this honor will fall
to our American boys.

Empty Imitation; Decreased Product

Very striking to the attentive eye are
some Of the items in the report of the
United States Steel Corporation, just
issued. The expansion of "business," by
which is meant gross sales, was some
thing colossal, rising from about billion
and quarter to nearly S1,700,000,000.
This was nearly three times the normal
volume, and seems an incredible sum-
These are the transactions of single
corporation in one basic industry.
But this monstrous total did not repre-
sent an increase in production. On the
contrary, almost every item-coal mined,
coke made, limestone quarried, pig iron
made, steel made-shows decrease up to
as high as II per cent in the principal
item Of pig iron. Very striking, too, is
the statement that exports of finished
products fell off IL per cent and of pig
iron 40 per cent.
This is not the kind Of report which at
this time it is good to read. We need the
steel. We do not need, and there was no
especial need for, tremendous increase
in steel prices.
Not that there was anything very
striking or unusual in steel prices, as
compared with all other prices. Practi-
caly, steel prices are fixed by the gov
ernment. Other prices not fixed by the
government have gone a great deal
higher.
Cotton, for example which, like steel.

For an American Propaganda

In his fine speech on Wednesday, be-
fore the Americanization Conference at
Washington, Secretary Franklin K. Lane
drew special attention to two facts:
"rhc first is that we have great body
Of our own people, five and a half mill
ions of them, who cannot read or write
The language of this country. And these
are not all Of foreign birth. million
and half are native born.
"The second is that we drafting
into our army men who cannot under
stand the orders that are given them to
read"
The conference was called, under the
sponsorship of Secretary Lane, to con-
slider Federal legislative programme
for the Americanization of our alien
population and to counteract the anti
American propaganda among them. Some
interesting figures were adduced by DR..
Wheaton as revealing the extent of Ger
man influence in our public schools
Three cities were specifically cited:
ain Fort Wayne, Ind, last year, s14,672
spent for teaching German language
and literature, as against sos for teach
ing English and citizenship to immi grants
In Columbus, Ohio, $4,000 was spent
on German language and literature
nothing for teaching English and citizen
ship to immigrants.
"In Philadelphia $4,000 was spent on
teaching German, as against $1,000 on
English and citizenship
The public school system of the coun-
try now numbers over 100000 teachers.
Their value for spreading a vigorous and
healthy American spirit has not been
fully utilized or realized

Chemin du Roi

"a map shows beyond the Chemin- des- Danes
Id marked Chemin du Roi.)
ID EFORE us and behind US
- In the dim mists of things.
Beyond the hills of fable
Where stored romance clings.
1t stretches on unbroken,
The road of vanished kings.
At times in sparkling sunlight
Beneath unclouded skies,
AT times in Swallowed silence
unguessed of human eyes,
Across world of sorrow
The royal roadway lies.
And many men have travelled
That road by hill and plain,
And many armies marked it
With sentinels of slain,
And Burning hearts have made it
An avenue of pain.
A-down it knights and ladies
Have ridden in good cheer;
The king in all his splendor
Would with them oft appear,
With lustrous silks and Jewels
And CLEAN Of sword and smear
Before US and behind US
The land is bright with sprinr.
And thronged with men of battle
Who own no lord nor king;
To them that road of sorrow
Has grown a hateful thing.
For they have sworn together
That victors they will be;
That kings. no longer ruling,
Must bend a.. humble knee,
And answer give to anguish
Of men by land and sea.
An answer give to anguish
To the Lord God on high;
And cruel ways of power
Must in the dead dust die:
Deserted and forgotten
The royal road must lie.

A door opens to the right of the bench
and the eight justices of the Supreme Court,

Like a Stage

The chamber is semi-crcular, with entry
for the audience at the middle of the curve
which forms the back of the ROOM To COM
plete this harmony of line the ceiling curves
upward from the rear and the sides. The
front OF the room, straight line, may be
Hkened to the stage, for this is where the
chief actors in this slow spoken drama of
the nation have their place. Indeed it is
more nearly stage than the figure of one,
and bears great resemblance to the stage of
any Greek stadium except that it has on it
a large desk, with room for eight men, the
justices of the Supreme Court Clear across
the stage background run green onyx pill
lars, rectangular in shape and appearing
against the wall only in relief, surmounted
by simple Ionic capitals. In the centre is
door with crimson hangings, a bright golden
eagle perched above There is a recess
above this setting, giving in perhaps
dozen feet to the wall, where two small
windows set far apart are likewise splashed
with red. Concealed electrics behind FROST
ed glass in the ceiling shed faint golden
glow upon the bench where the justices sit
and upon the curved rows of seats for the
cheerful and the mourners alike who seek
their fate at this Delphic place.
The room fills up rapidly The audience
is in part made up of curious visitors and
of persons who are interested in the judy
ments to be pronounced. 1t is true, how
ever, that cases that have sufficient stamina
to last through the entire journey, up the
various cascades of justice until they reach
the high court of the land, represent inter-
ests so broad that they find it more advan-
tageous to be represented by an attorney
at the Judgment rather than to appear in
person.

There Sits Justice
BY Ralph Block

w WASHINGTON, April 3-Most of the
wv casualties among visitors to Wash
lngton are caused by q too hasty
transition from the heat and dusty conflict
of the legislative chambers to the cool
quetude of the Supreme Court. In the
Senate and the House every one tries to
talk at once. In the Supreme Court only
one person talks at time, and there ap-
pears to be total lack of any tendency
toward repartee. The effect Of this sudden
contrast upon the visitor is not always a
happy one, although it is true that many
of them upon recovering seek the Supreme
Court again and in time become accustomed
to its calm, and even grow to like it,
There is no doubt that thesSupreme Court.
in its manner, it's atmosphere, it's etiquette
and It's procedure, is unlike anything else
IN Washington. Assuredly it is the best
staged governmental activity at the Capitol,
best because it is the most simple, and
most restrained. and because it is able to
obtain rich effect of dignity by an econ
omy Of means that would teach even a
decorator like Gordon Craig a new lesson
or two.
But the Supreme Court has an aid to i'm
preston outside of it's own dignity. It. must
have taken good deal of deep thought on
the part of the people who planned the
decorations for the Capitol AMI the Con-
gressional Library to pave the way so sue
cessfully for the unbroken calm of the high
est court. Certainly after exposure to the
frozen gentlemen in frock coats who adorn
the Capitol Hobbies and the variegatcd art
that is spattercd around on every wall and
ceiling OF the Capitol and the Library, en-
trance into the Supreme Court chamber is
like breathing pure mountain air after citv

cooled by the thought that the Republi-
can party is itself to blame.
1t has not secured itself clean of the
LA Toilette and pro- German vote" with
in it's ranks.
Mr.. Lenroot, we believe, is all right,
but we wish Wisconsin had elected
man who had not been wrong on the
McLemore resolution, who had not ad-
vocated an embargo on the shipment Of
arms to the Allies and who had not &C.
cepted the support of the La Toilette
and pro- German element We wish Wis
consin had elected a man who stood for
La Follette's expulsion from the United
States Senate. That would be our idea
of militant Amercanism, and as be-
tween one who represented that and one
who didn't, we should be for the one
who did without caring in the least
whether he was Democrat or Republican,
Mr.. Lenroot says it is not fair to ap-
ply the Presidents "acid test" to him,
because some Democrats also were
wrong both on the IlcLemore resolution
and the proposition to lay an embargo
on the export of arms. That has nothing
to do with it.
No Republican should have been wrong
on those issues.
Likewise, it will be said that the
Democratic National Committee is un-
fair to refer to the La Toilette and pro-
German vote within the Republican
ranks, because there are La Folettes by
other names and plenty of pro-German-
ism in the Democratic ranks. But
neither has that anything to do with it.
There ought to be no pro-Germanism
in the Republican ranks.
1t ought not to have been necessary
for The Tribune only few weeks ago
to start a fight within the Republican
National Committee to keep man from
being elected chairman whose opinions
before our getting into the war were
pro-German. To our intense humili-
alton as Republican paper we say it,
Finally, it ought not to seem necessary
for The Tribune to say, as it has said
that Colonel Roosevelt, by the strength
of his Americanism, is the only man in
sight who could restore the Republican
party to its great heritage.
The Wilson administration apparently
intends to apply to all Republican candi-
dates the same "acid test" that failed
to prevent Mr.. Lenroot's election in
Wisconsin. The motive may be partisan.
We leave that to the Democratic con-
science.
What we say for ourselves is that The
Tribune will not defend any Republican
candidate with the argument that the
Democrats themselves could not stand
the "acid test"
We insist that the Republican party
shall apply the "acid test" to itself.
Then it will cease to be party of re-
tort and become the party of militant
Americanism.
