to their morals. 1t urged protection for
them as to hours Of labor and the
abolishment Of night work. The State
Industrial Commission of Wisconsin a
few months ago came to the same con-
cluslcn, and put into effect regulations
limiting the hours Of work and prohibit
ing their employment after 10 p. M.
At the suggestion Of the Consumers
League bill was introduced at the last
session Of the Legislature making the
factory laws applicable to women on
streetcars-that is, limiting them to
nine hours work day and forbidding
their employment before a. m. or
after 10 p. m. Unfortunately it did
not pass. The presentment Of the grand
jury gives especial point to the effort
which this organization and others are
making to obtain, as soon as possible,
protective laws which will make the
working conditions of the women who
have entered this new field safe and toll
erable

The Turk at War

1t has been an extraordinary miscon-
ception of all the facts of war that has
prevented our declaring war upon
Turkey. Our allies are at war with
Turkey, are fighting her in Mesopotamia
and in Palestine. Yet it has been fatu-
ously thought that by withholding our
open declaration something conld be
gained, either by way of protection for
American lives and property in Turkey
or in move toward peace. Of course,
we are pouring men into the Western
front, which is now unit of action, and
what blows we strike there make pos
sible our allies blows against Turkey.
In plain common sense we are fighting
Turkey to-day as much as we can. No
one is deceived by the pretence of our
silence.
The Tabriz outrage, whatever it's pro-
portions, ought to end this folly, and end
it promptly. Congress has always taken
the clear-headed view Of the problems
against what may be termed the mis-
sionary- -pacifist plan. Congress can now
repeat its demand and insist upon action.

The Utilization of the Ego

Almost every one has now and then
an unusual access of energy and a sense
Of power. Some few favored individuals
have this a good deal of the time. We
speak Of them as steam engines or hu-
man dynamos. Mr.. Charles M. Schwab
and q distinguished ex-President are ex-
cellent examples.
1t is the view of the new psychology
that practically every one has a more
or less similar fund of energy, and that
the difference in it's expression, as it
were, is due to the overlaid makeup of
the individual rather than to radical
variations in the force Of human drive.
OF course, the strong, vigorous animal
is apt to have more Of this vitalizing life
force than the weakly or sickly. That
Is A B C. And yet it is matter of the
most familiar history that the seeming
weakly or ill-favored often turn out to
be just the steam engines and human
dynamos we have been speaking of. Ma
poleon is classical example, and it Is
matter of familiar knowled ge that Mr.
Roosevelt in his youth was lything but
the endurance breaker of his later years.
In brief, there is much to support the
view that highly efficient human ma
chine Is certainly as much question of
mental as Of physical organization.
Now, this fund Of energy is a fund
Of feeling, fund Of emotional interest
If ono prefers. 1t ID in reality tho CEN
trail ego which Is the core and basis Of
all our seemingly so varied selves. And
1t seems a. II 1t is the organization or
direction and, to some extent, the control
Of this central life power that consti-
tute happy and satisfactory existence.
We have quoted from an interesting lit
tin book by DR. Nicoil, Of London. He has
somo things TO say on this point. He
offers the formula that:
"There ID only one problem in life
tie proper Nss Of interest. 1t Is with
ths utilization, expression and application
Of interest that the unconscious con-
t!nually concerns itsclf. For we can con-

interest always yelling up from the deep
levels Of the psyche beneath conscious
ness, and seeking some outlet like spring
water through the hssures and cranniea
of the ground"

News Cmriosities

The news that the executive committee
of the National Security League had
adopted two resolutions, one repudiating
the Statement" prepared by it's presi-
dent for "The New York American" and
the other denouncing Hearst for the dis
loyal course of his newspapers, was
printed yesterday morning by "The
Times" "The World" and The Tribune.
"The New York American" had nothing
about it in it's first edition. Later there
was change Of mind, and in subsequent
editions the action Of the National Se-
curity League was treated as an attack
upon Hearst by sinister interests. We
quote from "The New York American":
"Referring to the statement issued yes
terday by the National Security League,
the truth of MI. Menken's statement that
the attack on the Hearst papers was due
to the opposition of the interests on ac-
count of the radical attitude of the Hearst
papers and not due to any other question
is proven by the resolution passed by the
representatives of the privileged interests
and signed by their recognized attorney,
Alton B. Parker.
"The Hearst papers have always fought
these privileged interests and expect the
privileged interests to fight back. The
Hearst papers are ready for the battle
and will win t'
On one day Hearst attempts to put the
National Security League in the false
position Of indorsing him. Foiled in this,

that it represents "the interests"

ludicrous than jellyfish eating a toad.

Hospitals in Jeopardy

The shortage Of physicians, nurses and
labor disclosed at the Hospital Confer
ence, serious as it is, cannot be wondered
at. In no other field has the war made
such drafts. Even before the United
States entered the world conflict doctors
and nurses by the score and by the hun
dred went to Belgium, France and Eng
land for volunteer service. Since. the
volunteering of individual physicians,
the formation of hospital units and the
operation of the selective draft have
still further depleted the supply, so that
now physicians in private practice find
themselves without their usual assistants
and as well are having to handle the
patients of colleagues who have donned
the government uniform. Moreover,
what applies to the doctors applies
equally to the supply of nurses and
trained orderlies.
Great as is the need "over there" it is
obvious that something must be done to
prevent stripping the splendid institu-
tions of this city-and Of other cities, for
the situation is by no means confined to
New York-to point where they will
lose their effectiveness. And the state
ment of Dr. Goldwater, of Mount Sinai
Hospital, that 40 per cent Of the hos
pitfalls of the land have no internes, indi-
Gates that the action taken must be
prompt. This is not difficulty which
volunteer aid will meet for the work OF
nurses and orderlies requires knowledge
and skill, the result of special training
which requires time, and physicians, even
the rawest internes, cannot be produced
overnight. 1t is to be hoped that SONS
arrangement can be reached with the
Federal government which will permit
the uninterrupted training of medical
students and nurses, to keep the supply
augmented for work here or in the war
zone, and then, the supply being main
tanned, that it may be apportioned in such
fashlon that the civic needs of the popu-
lace, which these hospitals serve, may be
accommodated.
IN still another way the citys hos
pitals need help. They all need money.
Their expenses have increased, and con-
tributions which ordinarily would have
gone to them have been diverted to some
form of war charity. This, fortunately,
is problem much easier to solve than
the other, for all that is required is that
the public which they serve so we'll dig
little deeper into its pockets and produce
the sums necessary to carry them

not fail, else the hospitals may.

"Gay Death"

NAN death be gay, can we depart
~ From life, and all that makes it dear
And leave it with singing heart,
Nor know the clutching hand of fear?
Can we be glad to lose for aye
The sunlight and the merry throng;
Can it seem sweet for youth to die
And leave the world of love and song?
Can death be gay? Yes, we may laugh,
unfrightened by that aspect stern,
When bid the bitter cup to quaff
And pass whence there is no return.
Death may be gay, as they have shown,
The boys who died for US in France,
Ere yet the rose Of youth was blown,
Ere closed the prelude to the dance.

parable to water in that 1t may run as
q current or be held up in stagnation
gives US valuable clew to tho under.
standing of problems Of personality. DR..
Nicoll goes on to say:
"For 1t Is then like electricity that
ruhs through the subways Of a city and
spreads out into a thousand visible
pressions of force. 1t is like the steam
that works o factory full of the most
varied machinery"
This conception belongs to what DR..
Ncoll calls the "energic view of human
faculties" The old idea was that our
various faculties and abilities were
primary and irreducible qualities. But
the new view looks on these faculties as
the varied manifestations Of one force,
Gust as the briliancc of the arc lamp,
tho coolness of the fan, the heat of the
radiator and the noise of the telephone
bell all expressions of electricity.
We have various interests, and behind
them all lies the same force-thc force
that reveals itself as interest"
We do not know how fanciful or how
true this new trend will turn out to be.
This is certain, that great number of
people have found new feeling Of self
power and a new interest in life by
means which seem fanciful to cooler and
more skeptical souls. We refer to such
highly emotional experiences as religious
conversion, Christian Science, the So
called "New Thought" newly found in
terest in socialism, social service and
similar drives that appeal more to the
emotional self than to the mind" We
have vivid present example in the uni
versal enthusiasm for war work, which
has meant veritable reawakening and
rebirth literally for millions of people.
There is here wonderfully fruitful
field for investigation, and it is the SER
vice of the new psychology to explore
these dim and unconscious elements of
feeling and emotion, to discover their ORR
gin, the forces that dominate them and
the powers that may direct them. It has
already made one very great discovery
which will probably lift the name of DR..
Freud eventually to the level of that of
Darwin, if distinctly not Newton;
for it is now clear that the great SER
vice Of Darwin was not the discovery of
law, but the opening up of new and
vast field Of research. The discovery Of
which we speak is that it is the conflict
between the subterranean, sub-conscious
flow Of feeling and our conscious soc al,
civilized selves which gives rise to practi-
cally all our unhappiness and to a great
number of those mental and psychic dis
turbances known as the asthenias-
neurasthenia, psychasthenia, the neu-
roses and the like.

be written down in the worlds Hall Of
Fame.
And let us of America particularly
bear in mind that twas the mighty feet
of Great Britain which kept our ports
open and the flag of liberty flying over
the sea.
The Germans said, doubtless thought,
in August, 1914, "the first blow of the
mailed fist will shiver the British EN-
pire into fragments"
Yet what has the war revealed? Fealty
and self-sacriicc and heroism from each
dominion and far-fung British outpost in
the common effort to secure the Allied
ideals of justice and civilization The
heroic fighting that has made the name
Anzac synonyme for valor, the stand Of
the Canadians at Ypres, which brought
imperishable glory to the Maple Leaf; the
Africanders standing shoulder to shoul-
der with British troops, the loyal, fine
fighting Of the princes and peoples of
India in France, Palestine, Africa, Meso-
potamia, symbolic the strength and
unity of the British Empire and share
alike the honors in this war for human
rights.
In replying the other day to the
message from President Poincare on the
occasion of Empire Day, jointly celebrat-
ed in London and Paris, King George
said:
II thank you from my heart for your
generous acknowledgement of the efforts
made by my empire in the sacred cause
in which the French and British peoples
are indissolubly united The splendor
OF the achievements attained by the
French nation during the years they have
fought side by side with their British
comrades against the menace and
tyranny Of barbarism will be blended in
our hearts to-day with the thoughts Of
our own endeavors"
And let that spirit prevail wherever, in
public or in private, the war is under
discussion.

Protection for "Conductorettes"


Manifestly the evils complained Of by
the Kings County Grand Jury, which
investigated conditions among the wom-
en- conductors of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company, had no application to
the majority Of the hard-working, self-re-
specting women who took such Jobs. The
trouble appears to have been that the
company hired all comers, without making
adequate examination as to age or past
performances. The result was that it
put on its payrolls women who should
never have been there. These unfit en-
ployes were a danger which the grand
jury has properly denounced and which
the company announces it has taken
steps to eradicate.
The women streetcar workers will
doubtless persist. Some of them have to
do such work; others prefer it to any
thing else they might pick up. But, as
the grand jury has pointed out, there
should be legislative restrictions on the
hours and conditions Of their labor. The
Bureau Of Labor Statistics recently
pointed out, after an extensive investi-
cation, that streetcar work was ex-
tremely trying to the health Of women
engaged in it. Night work, It added, was
dangerous not only to their health but

Business of Loyalty

This is Loyalty Week, so designated
by the Committee on Loyalty of the
Mayors Committee on National Defence.
To each Of the seven days is reserved
certain way of demonstrating or ex-
pressing loyalty. In the programme we
note: "June 18-Newspaper Day. Loy-
atty editorials in all newspapers"
That was Tuesday. The only New
York newspapers that had loyalty edi-
torials that day, we believe, were "The
CALI and Hearst's American" Then
were all the other newspapers lukewarm
in their loyalty? We speak for our
selves. We forgot to have a loyalty ed
itorial, and if we had remembered to
have one we should not have known how
helpfully to sympathize with all this
business Of loyalty.
Mayor Hylan's committee has
sermon on loyalty at the end Of it's
printed programme. 1t asks, "What is
Loyalty?" and appends discourse on
all the virtues of human conductor
fathers and mothers who give them
selves first to themselves and then to
their children; on the worker who should
be loyal to his business and his fellow
workers, thereby achieving both happi-
ness and prosperity; on the citizen who
should create and support free institu-
tons; on loyalty in the ethical abstract,
and on "that all inclusive loyalty"
namely, "loyalty to our Maker, the One
who created u.s."
The programme calls for day Of FIVE
minute speeches and readings, day for
holding thoughts of loyalty in theatres
and moving picture places, day for
gatherings and parades, a "pledge day"
for enrolling loyalty guards, a day for
continuing propaganda and enrolment
of loyalty guards" etc.
So much commotion cannot be entire
ly wasted. 1t is bound to produce some
favorable effects, but we believe also
that it cannot fail to produce in great
many Americans feeling Of humili-
alton, mingled with regret, that loyalty
requires to be advertised in theatrical
manner
Demonstrations Of loyalty ought to be
spontaneous, not fetched or elaborated.
Recently more than twenty foreign
groups petitioned the President to ap-
point Loyalty Day, on which they
might suitably express their appreci-
alton of their adopted land and it's in
stitutions. This was free will offering.
The President accepted it in that spirit.
The day will be July a. We have the
utmost enthusiasm for that form of ex-
preston, naive and voluntary.
But as to loyalty in general, we
should wish, in the first place. to take it
for granted, and, in the second place.
to recognize its expression in those In
Vulnerable acts of self-denial and service
which. in the aggregate, enormously
promote the war
Loyalty is nothing you boast of or ad-
vertise. 1t is something you perform.
To do with less bread, to half-sole YOUR
shoes, to give the government the benefit
of the doubt in making up your income
tax return, to defer every unnecessary
expenditure-such are the involuntary
acts Of loyalty which all of US might prac
tise more. No one should feel that merit
Is thereby acquired. We owe it to each
other. Seldom does any one pay in full
And when we hear one protesting his
loyalty from the house tops we suspect
him OF having in his heart the guilty
knowledge that he has paid less than his
neighbor.

Let Us Cling Fast
By Caspar Whitney
Special Correspondent Of The Tribune in France.

Copyright, 1918. by Tie Tribune Association,
nAR1S, June 5.-As the war drags
on and decision hangs in the bal
ance, the suspenses Of these ter
ribly anxious days tend to loosen self
control and undermine judgment.
1note the growing inclination to hasty,
unbalanced criticism, the disposition to
damn the whole for failure Of one of it's
individuals or units, to attribute this sue
cess or that reverse to this or that con-
tingent of our hard fighting, sorely
pressed allies, struggling against odds
sometimes all but overwhelming.
The nervous, high tension under which
we all labor makes for short tempers and
betrays US into bursts of irritated, ir-
rational comment.
Let us not lose our perspective.
Let us cling fast to our patience and
sanity. Never had we, allies one and
all, such need for both. This is no time
for carping based on half knowledge or
prejudice. The hour is too serious, the
stake for which we fight too great.
Let us for sake of unity and strength,
which alone can bring us success, keep
our feet on the ground and our heads
clear.
Let US concentrate all our thought and
energy on beating the Boche, who de-
serves the worst we can say and the ut
most we can do. While there is no doubt
that France with her ready efficiency
and in marvellous speed came to British
aid in the recent crisis on the West front,
where the Germans broke the Allied line
near Noyon, yet it is not to be forgotten
that the British stood the brunt of the
1917 campaign and have come to the
aid of their gallant ally again and again
during the past now almost four years
Of desperate resistance against the Ger
man pressure.
Let it never be forgotten that without
Great Britains response to her peril
France, for all her superb courage and
military power, would to-day lie bleeding
and vanquished at the feet of the HUI
beast. Valorous and wonderful in their
spirit and fighting quality as the French
have proved themselves, they sometimes
forget in moments Of bitterness that
England in her way also has been splen-
did in spirit and magnificent in deed.
Let us always remember that each
ally in his turn and own appointed way
has done his best to equal the task which
has fallen upon him. Belgium and Serbia
held the gates one brief moment, long
enough to balk the German plan. Italy
and Rumania both came in when the AL
lied morale and situation needed both the
encouragement and added strength. Even
tiny Montenegro and Portugal have
helped as best they could. AS for the
two big brothers of all these little peoples
France and England, comprising Cam
ada, Australia, New Zealand, South
Africa-no words Of any ones pen can
adequately depict the magnifcence of
their conduct.
Their story is epic and will ring
through the ages as the work of super
men, with no distinction as to who has
shown the finest spirit or how the work
OF beating the Roche was divided. They
all are on a level of nobility, and so shall
