Crumbling Walls of Bigotry

Palestnian war dispatches few days ago
intimated possible military cooperation between
Druses and British forces of General Allenby.
The significance and Importance of the hint may
well have escaped general attention, since the
world at large knows little of the Druses. The
Druses and Maronites inhabt district in Syria
which includes the Businesses of Mt. Lebanon
The Druses proper are probably mainly of Arab
origin, about 10000 in number, and profess a
religion mingling Christianity and Islam with
tribal faiths and traditions of great antiquity.
They are exclusive, intolerant. fierce and fatal
istic, and for ages have maintained their social
entity with the utmost jealousy. Never so far
as known have these peculiar people conde-
!cended to cooperate in any way with any other
people They have been bloody prosecutors of
their neighbors, the Maronte Christians, and in
1900 the European powers interviewed, and in
1861 imposed on the district nomnay Chris
tian governor, under Turkish overlordship The
Druses are as opposed to orthodox Islam as to
orthodox Christianity.
II they have broken down their exclusive
ness sufficiently to cooperate with the British
hberators of the Holy Land it may not be un-
reasonable to expect future results of impor-
lance to the scholarship of the world. For in
the Businesses of Lebanon are believed to be
concealed and guarded by initiate Druses val
liable manuscripts of early Christian and Mos
lem times. Once their exciusiveness crurbles
away they may consent to yield these to the in
apection of experts To the enrichment OF the
learning Of the world.-New York World.

Machine Gun to Make Peace.

Colonel Roosevelt is justified in his assertion
that the machine gun, and not the typewriter,
is the implement with which to make peace.
Military experts see no evidence Of German col
lapse. Retirement from occupied territory has
been conducted on a scale that implies main
tenance of discipline by the Germans, and a de-
termination to resist to the end. Nothing in
this will detract from the briliance or persist
ence, OF the attack made in pursuance Of the
great campaign. The Allies are gaining be-
cause of the skill of direction that has charac-
terzed their operations, and not because the
German will to resist has broken down. Mill
tarstic autocracy is not ready to make the full
concession demanded OF it, nor is it likely that
the terms laid down by the president will be
met as long as the Central powers can maintain
in the field force capable of such resistance
as reasonably may be expected from the Ger
man army on the west front. Until the mill
tary situation has advanced much farther, talk
of politicians, eagerly seeking to throw up a
screen of words, should be discounted.

OUT OF THE DEPTHS.

Word comes OF the delirious JOY of the peo-
pie OF Lille when the Allies entered that city.
Similar accounts have come concerning the lib
Grafton of other communities from the yoke of
the invader. 1t must be true of Ostend, Bruges
and Zeebrugge, and generally Of that region
which is now freed from the grip of the Blonde
Beast and restored to liberty. Americans can
only very family conceive OF the situation OF
these people, who for the last four years have
been under the most cruel military rule ever
known. Nothing that we can imagine exceeds
the hardship and the terror of life where every
thing depends on the within or the mood OF the
military commander, whose word is final law.
The full tale of outrage and brutality may never
be made up; enough is known to justify the
belief that nothing has been spared these vic
TINS
Americans may always have pride i'll their
share of Begum's story. To Our generosity is
due the fact that the occupied territory in that
land did not repeat the story Of starvation that
came from ruined Poland. From the first
weeks OF the war the Commission for Belgian
Relief has depended almost exclusively on
American contributions. Food and clothing
have been furnished from this country, and now
we know what hitherto has only been suspected,
that frequently the Germans turned this ma
terial TO their own uses.
Finally, American soldiers in the field have
aided in changing the situation and before the
strengthened armies of democracy the hordes
of the tyrant are fleeing. These occupied cities
come up from the depths OF subjugaton because
we have been true to our ideals, because we
can rejoice with the citizens of Lille and the
other towns but we cannot rest until the world
is made safe against the possible repetition of
their experience.

Changing the German Constitution.

One of the interesting sidelights on recent
developments in the war comes from Copenha-
gen, in form of an announcement of changes in
the constitution OF the German Confederation.
First of these carries no change OF real impor-
lance. 1t adds the Bundesrat or state council
and the Reichstag to the emperor in the matter
of declaring war, save in cases where the empire
has been attacked. This is practically the pro-
vision under which the present war was de-
clared, the principal change being to add the
Reichstag to the other two powers>o of the en-
pire.
More important is the alteration of the
treaty making power, which hitherto has been
vested in the emperor alone. Now the peace
treaty must be acceptable to the Bundesrat and
Reichstag also. This palpable attempt to popu-
iarize the present constitution of the empire can
be considered only as belated move to gain
support OF whatever element exists in Ger
many demanding more responsive and respon-
sbe government The kaiser must give his
assent to the amendments before they become
effective, but that they have the endorsement of
the state council, which is the real legislative
oouy vi NcFIndny, Is assurance that imperial
consent to their PRONUNCIATION will be forth
coming
Other amendments OF like character, which
really make no material difference in the form
OF the empire, may be expected, that finally the
kaiser and his party can approach the embattled
democracies with pretense that autocracy has
been disarmed of its power to make war, and
therefore, has ceased to be menace: Such
transparent subterfuges may satisfy the German
mind. but will scarcely be found to measure up
to what President Wilson had in view when he
declared that autocracy must be destroyed.

Money Not Wanted

Some $500 daily is being received from those
entitled to it. but who are refusing their just
due from the people, who would wish them to
take and keep it. No payment by the govern.
ment IS less grudged than the $2O0,000,000 an
nual allotment to dependents from the pay
ments due a. men in all the services who are
defending democracy over there while the ~
.rty loan lags over here. In one day this week
81 relatives sent back to the War Risk Insult
ance Bureau the checks coming to them in due
course One mother wrote that when the gov
crnil,en, is asking for billions it is no time ior
her to be taking money from the government.
II am glad enough to give my boy. | am able
TO work, and do not think ought to take it,
There are those who ought to blush when they
read letter like that. There are none who
ought not to be thankful that the nation has so
many such mothers and sons.
Nevertheless, the fine old mother-able to
works wrong. The money is fairly earned,
and freely paid with thanks for value received.
She cannot know what may lie ahead for her
or her son. Both may come to need and the
nation never can while it numbers those of her
character and his. The best use OF the allotments
can be put to, next to sustaining the health and
strength of those to whom they are paid, is
The purchase of thrift stamps, or savings certih-
Gates, or Liberty bonds. The certificates help
the country as much as the bonds, and return
a larger yield on the investment. Such patri-
otie relatives as this old mother can use their
money in that way with clear consciences and
with the approval OF those who are doing less
ior their country than the..--Ncw York Times.

Hitch Up Both Horses.

A farmer who set out to do big days work
in the field, leaving one of his horses in the
barn, depending on the other to drag load that
called for the full strength of both, would be in
exactly the fix the democrats hope to keep the
country.
Nationally we face situation that calls for
the closest of unity in thought and action the
employment of every force at the command Of
our people, but the democratic leaders fail to
see the problem from any angle but their own.
In shouting that the only way to aid the presi-
dent is to vote the democratic ticket they are
emphasizing their ridiculous claim that the war
is party issue, that it has been and will be car
ried on by democrats and that the only way to
succeed is to continue that organization in con-
troll The truth is precisely opposite.
The war is two-party job and the repub-
licans have recognized this from the very begin
ming, backing up the president and giving him
support when his own party had failed him.
Now, as never before the country needs the
constructive ability of the republicans, not only
for the prosecution Of the war to victory for
freedom and liberty, but for the solution of the
tremendous problems that will come with peace
A vote for republican congress is not a
vote to interfere with the wise conduct of the
war, but TO insure that the president will not
be hampered in his plans, and that the country
will not suffer because of incompetence when
the war is over. Hitch both horses to the load
and it will move faster
