Overrun in butter making comes as
a result of the water and salt in the
butter. When the Babcock test is
made the reading is for the pure fat.
The law allows 16 per cent of water
in the butter and the usual salt con-

about 1 per cent of casein so that 81

Back to Canals

In taking over the New York State
Barge Canal system and making provi-
sion for barges for it's early operation
Mr. McAdoo testifies to the value of in
land waterways as a supplement to the
overtaxed railroad system of the coun-
try. Europe has long recognized this
value and utilized it to the full. New
York State alone of all those which once
found canals useful has reconstructed
and improved them to maintain their
functions. Now the wisdom of this pol
icy is manifest
Mr.. McAdoo is reported to be about to
take over the Chesapeake & ohio Canal
also, and some navigable rivers which
could be made into feeders for rail lines
or could by handling slow-moving freight
free the railroads for more urgent traf-
fic. His course might with profit be ex-
tended. In this state, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania there are in disuse num-
ber Of canals which once were carriers
of coal in large quantity. Why should
they not be restored and pressed into
use? The Merchants Association of this
city presented this question to the Rivers
and Harbors Committee of the House of
Representatives, asking for an appropri-
alton for a survey. Chairman Small re-
piled recently that, owing to war condi-
tions and the state Of public sentiment
against canals, no such investigation
was deemed advisable.
Mr.. McAdoo evidently thinks differ
emily. The rivers and harbors bill is
now before the Senate. The appropria-
tion needed for this survey would not be
large one. In all probability the sum
necessary to restore some Of these canals
to usefulness would be amply justified by
their value in averting the possibility of
any such coal shortage as last winters.
The Senate at the very least might
amend the bill to provide for the pro-
posed survey.

as men between twenty and fifty are con-
cerned. A mans duty to his country in
war time should be measured solely by
his military usefulness.
The United States must aim at getting
100000 to 100000 men under arms.
At least five million will be needed in
Europe if the war runs through 1919.
And these five million can best be sifted
out of mass of 25,0OO,O0O to 30000,000
men put at the disposition of the govern
ment by draft law covering the classes
between twenty and fifty.
Such law would guarantee all our re-
quirements on the fighting line in Europe
and would also stabilize labor in our
great war industries. We ought to get
on a real war basis. We have before our
eyes the experience of France, Germany
and Great Britain. Why turn away from
it? Having embraced the principle of
universal liability to military duty why
should we balk at applying it courage
ously and getting the greatest possible
military benefit out of it?

as the American Defence Society has
pointed OUT is entitled to know who
among the enemy aliens are being treated
as goats and who as sheep. Publicity in
such matter increases the public's pro-
lection. The best possible way to limit
the power for mischief of enemy aliens
and OF enemy agents is to put every
community on its guard against suspects.
Every city, town or village should know
what representation it has in the intern
ment camps, so that the associations Of
such representatives may be under gen
eral surveillance.
The Department Of Justice has only
just begun to scratch the surface Of
big enterprise. The enemy alien regis
tration and barred zone orders have not
been effectively enforced. The power of

After Four Years

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: For the last sixteen months | have

whose last letter follow. The only changes
in the quotations here given are in SPELL

but from what my American carlarade tells
me- you also must be having very fine

Blown Away

Wendell Phillips, we all know, was saying
truth about what was the power of the
tnancier in 1872 and for too long n number
of years thereafter; every state in the
Union knew its railroad boss, a puff of
whose waste smoke" could change the minds
of legislators, of newspaper editors and
sometimes of judges
Those were indeed evils which contained
the seeds of national destruction. Yet
Phillips's indictments seem already as far
away from to-day as do those of the Yer
rine orations. William J. Bryan speaking
in Chicago less than twenty years since,
quoted, with what effect we can we'll under
stand, this testimony of sugar trust head
given in the course of Senatorial inves-
tigation.
ITO which fund do you contribute in
Massachusetts? was the question.

"'To the Democratic"

Surnmoning the Nation

The War Department has begun to
recognize the inadequacy of its original
plans for the development of man power.
The General Staff has prepared an
amendment to the selective draft law
which calls for the registration of all men
between twenty-one and fifty.
A sweeping extension of the conscrip-
ton act is necessary not only to furnish
fighting men, but to develop the non-com-
batant war-making energy of the coun
try. Nations go to war these days as
mass. All resources have to be pooled
and taken under military control.
When the original draft law was pre-
pared year ago the War Department
had still the old-fashioned idea that the
war could be fought by the youth of the
country. 1t wanted to conscript no one
above twenty-eight years of age. It
wanted to begin conscription below
twenty.
In this matter Congress gave signs of
a judgment superior to the departments.
The under limit was raised to twenty-one.
The Senate accepted the General Staffs
twenty-eight-year top limit. But the
House voted to push that limit up to
forty years. A compromise was finally
reached on thirty-one years.
1t is plain now that if the principle of
selection is to be applied successfully it
must be applied on much broader scale.
There must be more material to work
with. Conscription has an industrial as
we'll as military side. The government
should have power to commander the
services Of men required to fight the war
at home as we'll as of men required to
fight the war abroad. 1t is all one war
and all one service.
An'age limitation of thirty-one Is an
artificial barrier to the just and equal
application Of the law of universal liza
bility. Take the dependency exemption.
If men without dependents ought to be
called to arms first, they should be taken
up to fifty years, certainly, if they are
fit for service, before men with depen
dants, whether below thirty-one or above
thirty-one, are called on.
1t is the same thing with industrial
war work There is no good reason why
man in war industry who is over
thirty-one should not be subject to the
same government control as a man who
is under thirty~one. In the interest of
democratic equality and of war efficiency
both classes should stand on the same
footing. Age is minor incident, 80 far

Kicking 1t!
tFrom the Neic- Yorker Volks

tFrOna the Netc- Yorker VOlkssciturO)
The revocation through the Legislature
of the charter of the National German
American Alliance is certainly not to be
regretted. Thereby an organization ceases
to exist which since its foundation was
nothing but tool of number of German
American politicians of the saddest kind
striving to obtain by it's means influence.
responsibility, and above all, jobs.
We have in the course of the year often
enough given expression to our contempt
of this unprncipled rabblc who in times
when the sun shone bright upon them
talked very big, but when the weather
changed, cringingly and pitifully cried
"Pater, peccavi." The last weeks and days,
however, have surpassed everything that
might have been expected from this cle-
ment in this respect. They assumed
er-American expedient name. and finally
even invited Theodore Roosevelt to accent
most gracefully the protectorate over this
latest abortion of German national senti-
ment So far, the Colonel has not answered
the honorable Henry Weismann's whining
for supreme grace; thus much however. is
certain, that hundreds Of thousands in this
country--and especially all German -Ameri-
cans who have not yet lost all self-respect
will, with great satisfaction, take cogni-
zance of every kick given by Roosevelt to
these heroic spirits.

The Tenderness for Enemy Aliens

Attorney General Gregory's apology
for the ultra lenient enemy alien and
enemy agent policy Of his department is
already under heavy fire. Naturally. It
was a defence which didn't defend.
The Department of Justice got a
wrong start. 1t made the mistake of not
recognizing that the problem of dealing
With civilian enemy subjects, with spies
and with enemy agents of all sorts is
essentially military one. The military
arm should supplant the civil arm. We
owe the enemy alien a military protec-
ton which he can find only in an intern
ment camp. We owe our own Bolo
Pachas nothing but court martial.
In his recent letter to Representative
Gilbert A. Currie Mr.. Gregory enumcr-
ated various changes in the criminal
statutes which he had asked CONGRESS- TO
make. But he failed to refer to the
vitally important Chamberlain bin, which
sends all espionage, sabotage and aid to
the enemy cases before military tribunals.
One of the Assistant Attorneys General.
Mr.. Charles Warren, who has since re-
signed, submitted to the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee brief in favor
of such transfer. United States Dis
trict Judge John C. Rose, of the District
of Maryland, also supports it. Whv, in
the twelve months in which we have been
at war, hasn't so practical method of
cutting civilian court red tape suggested
itself to the Attorney General?
1t is the same thing with intcrnmcnt.
1nternment is military act. Why hasn't
it been performed with military thor
oughness and promptitudc? Internment
is not intended to be merely form of
punishment for enemy aliens who have
shown themselves to be dangerous. r.
is intended as a precaution against the
possibility that even the apparently non
dangerous enemy alien may become dan
gerous. 1t is, besides, an obligation
which we owe to the enemy alien, withou.
regard to whether he is dangerous or
harmless.
And why should the process of intern

Rheims

No explanation of why it was neces-
sary to shell Rheims into destruction
has yet arrived from Berlin. But it will
arrive. French children persisted in
studying French in the cellars of the city
to the military disadvantage of brave
soldiers of the Fatherland. Or the
cathedral insisted on standing, although
it obstructed German observation posts.
Or Joan of Arc refused to lower her
lance when the Grown Prince rode past.
Some simple little excuse will be forth
coming unless the German tongue has
lost it's vigor or the German mind gained
sense of humor.
We are becoming used to the German
way at last. Each fresh access of hate,
of terribleness, shocks us afresh, but the
surprise is gone. Surprise awaits the
day when the German ceases to shell
maternity hospitals and baby carriages
and cathedrals and makes war by civil
lied rules.
Nowhere is this German idea so
summed up, SO fixed in stone for all the
ages to see, as at Rheims. The city and
cathedral of Rheims. their ruins, stand
upon the horizon of the civilized world
for all to witness and condemn.
There is the German, stark and un
ashamed, the murderer of beauty and
sanctity as he is the murderer of women
and of little children.

Matches
By Arthur S. Draper

ONDON, March 25.-Normally matches

smoker does not consider himself ex-
travagant IT he uses a box a day. Britain
is suffering from an acute match famine.
cigarettes, cigars, candy, beer and whiskey
can be bought almost anywhere, but a box
OF matches is as hard to find as a raidinc
aeroplane a dark night Why. no ono
seems to know
An ordinary pine log will produce
enough match sticks to light every fire and
pipe in London for whole day, but pine
logs are not very plentiful in these parts
just now. Sweden furnished Britain with
most of her matches until year or so
ago. Then came the disagreement between
the countries about exports and imports,
and the Swedish supply suddenly ceased,
There were several big match making con.
Germs here, but they, produced de luxe
artlclc--a wax taper, which never failed
to light. Tallow and wax have long since
disappeared from the market. The British
concerns concentrated on wooden matches.
but their output is far below the normal
demand
After the government set n maximum
price for matches the supply suddenly
diminished and there was a rush on the
part of smokers for patent lighters, which
appeared on the market in great variety
of forms. 1t is common thing for man
to stop another in the street to-day and ask
for light from his cigarette or pipe
When match is used the owner goes
through series of preliminary prepara-
tions, including a study Of the weather
