Give Them Real Furloughs {!

The furlough is one of the bright spots
in the soldiers life. 1t is stimulant to
morale both in the army and back home
The French know it's value After the
present German offensive began all
leaves were suspended by the French
government. But as soon as the Allied
line was reestablished in the Somme re-
gion an order was issued partially re-
newing permissions," as the French call
them. The visit home was too priced
thing in the scheme of military disci-
pline and civilian cooperation to be
sighted except in periods of very acute
crisis.
We have much to learn from the
French in the use of the furlough.
France treats the leave from the front
not as an indulgence out of the line of
duty, granted only to those who can af-
ford to pay for it, but as part of the
soldiers regular routine She furnishes
transportation to men going on leave.
Why shouldn't she? They have earned
it over and over.
The United States should also furnish
transportation for the men in the camps
here who apply for leave. A private
gets $50 month; on-commissoned Of
ficers get a little more. But a man COM
ing home to New York or Northern New
Jersey from Admission, Ala, for example.
has to pay about $50 for the round trip.
1T is prohibitory tax on him if he is
trying to save money for his family or
to meet instalments on Liberty bond
Representative Mott, of New York,
has introduced bill in the House of
Representatives granting free transpor-
tation for enlisted men going on fur
Tough and providing for at least one fur
Tough each year. 1t applies, of course,
only to men serving within the United
States. This is happy idea, logical
development of the scheme of universal
service. Soldiers on leave are the ma
tons guests. They should be entitled to
the free use of a nationalized railway
system, operated by the government.

BILE service to Sweden by the creation of
a protective wall to the east"
That wall is about as "protective" to
Sweden as the wall of a penitentiary is
protective to the inmates inside. The
Swedes were obsessed for years with the
idea of the Russian peril. Germany did all
she could to keep that illusion alive.
But now, with Finland converted into
German dependency and Germany reach
ing out for front on the Arctic Ocean,
Sweden faces real threat against her
national existence. So does Norway. So
does Denmark. Should Germany win
the war the three Scandinavian states
would have in German eyes no more ex-
cuse for independence than Russia's
former western provinces have. They
would be ripe for "self- lf-determination"
after the German model-meaning a de-
scent to the status of German colonies.
The new German humor is Hinden-
burglar in quality. 1t is bludgeon-like
enough to cause Stockholm, Christiania
and Copenhagen some anxious thought.

Wisconsin
Volunteers
To the Editor of The Tribune

TO the Editor of The Tribune
SIR Had all official facts as to vo!un-
tary enlistment in Wisconsin been fur
nlshed and these facts had warranted un-
favorable comment the people of the state
would have no just reason to be offended
But the full statement as to voluntary en-
listment is follows: The state is cred
lted with 4,343 regular army enlstments
since April 1, 1917 The regular army,
while named as the premier force among
those of which the army of the United
States consists, is not the only one, and
service in any other of such forces. espe-
cially in time of war, is equally honorable.
During the period April to August s,
1917, when state organizations were drafted
into Federal service, approximately $4,000
men were enlisted in the Wisconsin Ma
tional Guard for war.
The War Department has rendered to the
state total credit of 1927 voluntary en-
llstments made before August S, 1917. as
being the strength of this state Guard at
the date of it's draft.
The total credit for voluntary enlist
ment acknowledged to be due to the state
is 2356O
In this reckoning TO account is made of
men ellsted in the National Guard since
August s, 1917, the date of its draft nor
Il
neers, forestry, medical or other special
units, nor of men enlisted for the nayy. nor
Tor the Marine Corps. 1t is known, however.
that the total of such enlistments exceeds
$500.
IL does not seem consistent with fair
dealing to defame for temporary failure to
furnish 1873 men for one unit Of the armv
of the United States a state which has
already by voluntary enlistment put into
the military or naval service of the nation
1or this war over $1,000 men, and whose
entire National Guard, in which the ma
1orlty OF voluntary enlistments was made.
is now on or near the battle lines in Europe.
10 show further how little real war
slackness there is in this much maliened
state beg to state (taking from the Of
hclal records of this office) that:
The net quota Of the draft heretofore
allotted to the State of Wisconsin was
1896; and, further,
There have at this date been put into
the military service of the United States
under the draft act 1880 Wisconsin rep
lstrants, selected in compliance with the
regulations. The excess of 1914 over tho
required net quota is accounted for by the
large number of men who voluntarily pre-
sented themselves for induction into tho
military service.
with moro than $4,000 men in the mill
tary and naval forces of the nation md
with approximately one-half of them across
the Atlantic, it would seem markedly nm
Just to crlticise one small detail in tho
methods by which this result has been
oo'a'hed. 0. H. HOLWAY,

With the american Labor Mission
1lou abroad

w I'm tNe american L0OOr WI lSStoH
11ou abroad.
II ONDON, May 1.-The most remarkable
thing about the wounded British sol
diers is their gayety and their lack or
any feeling of regret or resentment. one
of the merriest sights the American visitors
have seen in their travels was dining room
in which were seated some five hundred con-
valcscents, each Of whom had lost one or
both legs, an arm or an arm and a leg.
There was constant laugh going and con-
stant fire of bantering. There was no
gloomy face in the whole room. And where
there seems any chance of physical con-
diton permitting the men express their de-
sire to go back to help finish the fight.
An example of this determ nation to "stay
by the game" is found in fine young naval
lieutenant whose presence the Americans
have enjoyed good part of the time in
London. He enlisted an infantryman at
the outset. He was invalided home and
then joined the air service. After period
of active service in the air he was brought
down in crash by gunfire from his own
lines. His nerves were shattered and PROP
ably will remain so, but his spirit has suf-
fcred nothing. He enlisted in the navy as
soon as it was possible, and is in again "for
the duration of the war" This lad is but
twenty four years old. He is not ex-
ception, but rather a fine sample Of the pre-
vailing spirit.
Our own Americans will show the same
spirit. There is at present in the air SER
vice with the Canadians an American who
is flying with two artificial legs. He couldn't
be kept out. The machine he uses is one of
the largest battle planes. He serves as an
example of how men may be rebuilt for
actual war service. In almost every shop in
England there are rebuilt men at work
Those who are much in contact with these
wounded men say that they learn quickly
to use their artificial limbs and usually ad-
vance III mental aptitude over their former
status.
At Brighton, England's famous watering
place, more of this reconstruction work is
done. But at Brighton the salvagng is not
restricted to humanity. Every kind of saw
ing is taught.
Wounded British soldiers are being
taught diamond cutting at Brighton. Dia-
mond cutting before the war was almost
Dutch monopoly. However, it is being dem
onstrated that ne-armed men can become
expert diamond cutters and need not want
for material support when peace returns to
scared and bleeding world.
There is a great army cooking school at
Brighton. Economy and salvagng from
waste food also are taught Even the dish
water is put through dripping process
from which all fat is secured Ten ounces
of grease from the plates of one thousand
men day is the average. One of the prod
ucts secured from this grease that used to
go down the drains is glycerine for high cx-
plosives. AS the dishes are washed cxplo-
slves pile up for the men at the front.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-13
Sharing War Costs

Governor Whitman has taken full cog
nizance Of the abnormal conditions pro-
duced by the war in the market for labor
and materials in signing the Walters and
Lockwood bills permitting the abroga-
tion Of contracts for public improve
ments. The Walters bill is a general
measure, intended primarily for the re-
lief of contractors on state and county
work. The Lockwood bill applies spe-
cifically to subway construction contracts
here.
In both the principle is the same
Contracts entered into before the war
named prices for the work which the
contractors are now unable to endure
because Of the great rise in wages and
the increase in cost OF materials. If
forced to carry out the terms of their
contracts many contractors would go
bankrupt and work would stop. Since
no benefit to the public could possibly
result from such situation the only
thing left to do was to provide for a
readjustment of contracts which would
take cognizance of the higher cost of
construction
Though this may seem to be relief for
the contractors, it is chiefly relief for
the public. Funds have been invested in
work now partially completed on which
heavy carrying charges accrue. For the
state or county or municipality to under
take to finish the works would ineyita-
bly, cost more than if the original con-
tractors with their crews and equipment
in hand were enabled to continue.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-13
The Great Collar Controversy

Before the war most Americans knew
not one uniform from another, to say
nothing of being blissfully ignorant
lars or Sam Browne belts or insignia
of rank Most of us didn't know the diff
ference between sergeant major of in
fantry and a trst-class boatswains
mate. Now all that is changed and
when we have nothing else to worry
about we can always devote our atten-
ton to the absorbing problem of stand
up collars uersus turn-down collars.
This great controversy has now been
shifted from the army to the navy. The
army coat was to be changed, and then
it wasn't. General Pershng was cred
tied with vetoing the turn-down collar,
and apparently the move has been in
definitely postponed. In the navy
questionnaire is now going the rounds of
the officers to find what the general SEN
timent is. Seventy-eight per cent have
now answered, total of 1888 officers.
Of these, 1858 have voted eyes," 638
"No" and Al are Indifferent. That
is highly favorable vote. But the
final decision will, of course, rest with
Secretary Daniels, and his view is no:
known.
Lay opinion is strongly for the change
in both services, we think. The choke
collar is all it's name implies. It is as
stiff and awkward as it is uncomfortable.
There is long American history in its
favor, especially in the navy, we believe.
But the present war is scarcely one of
precedents. We hope the navy will get
the new rolling collars and that, when
the war permits, the army will follow
suit. After that who knows but that
some day the navy may go on and win
working suit of khaki that is a real
working suit and not an impossibly white
affair fit only for dress?
New-York tribune., 1918-05-13
Socialism in Maine
(From The Portland Easter, A,o

(Fron The Portlond Eastern Arous>
In reading through the platform adopted
by the Socialist party of the State of
Maine" we fail to find the expression of
hope that the United States will come off
victor in the life or death struggle now
under way. There is the customary lamen-
tation over the condition Of things cener-
ally and recommendation Of the socialistc
remedy for real or imaginary social and
economic ills
But not an unauthorized patriotic Amer
lean sentence TO be found in all the great
length, of the document. 1t might have
been prepared for adoption by gathering
of the Bolsheviki. which sold out to Ger
many. In fact, comradeship is expressed
for the Socialists of Russia and Germany,
rs we'll as with those of other countries.
In case those men who arc standing on
this platform as candidates before the citi-
zens of Maine do not desire to be held
under the suspicion Of being better Social
ists than they are American citizens it be-
hooves them to come out publicly and de-
clare themselves.
Neither political nor socialistic slackers
are welcome in these United States of
America at the present serious nioment
New-York tribune., 1918-05-13

economists fall down We must realize
now what we have failed to realize in
recent years-that the world is our
neighbor
All the countries of the world are our
debtors to-day; trade balance of over
three and quarter billions runs annu-
ally now in our favor-ten times our
average favorable trade balance of
decade before the war
There is not enough gold in all the
world to pay what the rest of the world
owes us-and we are not anxious to have
them pay us much more than the inter
est on these obligations, because this
situation compels trade relation and
a foreign trade and banking expansion
on our part that we sadly needed, and
that we will need more than ever after
the war closes.
Falling Into Money
Through the submarine menace we
are forced into building a merchant
marine that we had not the foresight to
project for our own trade needs The
foreign trade we were developing in the
face of our own uneconomic legislation
was all dependent on foreign bottoms
as we learned from the drastic results,
particularly in the early days of the
war.
"Staggering into efficiency" as does
our dear democracy, will we hit upon
plans to make this great merchant
marine-created to feed submarines
the most marvellous instrumentality of
our peace programme?
Long before the war many of our
industries had outgrown our home and
our limited foreign markets and were
operating normally at 80 per cent of
capacity. Since war came, and espe-
cially since it came to us, we have added
enormously to our industrial develop
ment, and we must realize the serious
responsibility on us to see that all of the
financial and industrial benefit and de-
velopment which has come to us through
the war is not lost or does not act as a
great boomerang.

Hindenburgian Hunor

Dazzling opportunities of plunder in
Eastern Europe have converted German
statesmen into college of humorists.
The humor they indulge in is as cynical
and sardonic as Swift's.
At Brest-Litovsk Germany pretended
to give the provinces torn from Russia
the right Of self-determination. Self
determination is now going on under
the eyes of German military pro-consuls
Vice-Chancellor Won Payer tells us ex-
actly what this process signifies:
eve hope particularly for advan-
tages relating to the safeguarding of
our food supplies [meaning the ap-
preparation of existing food supplies
TOR Germany's benefit and forced
labor on new crops to be mortgaged
to Germany and then for what can
be comprised under the general term
OF colonization [meaning the exploita-
ton OF these provinces in the manner
IN which Germany has exploited her
African colonies]. The relationship
OF border states to us shall and must
furnish US with the military securitv
OF our frontiers against Russia, which
security we cannot renounce [mean-

Hearst's Self-Revelation

Postmaster General Burleson, reply
ing vaguely to Colonel Roosevelt, pro-
tests that he obscures the issue by
dragging in 'irrelevant and extraneous
matter" Thereby he avoids touching
Hearst. We can sympathize with his
feelings. 1t is an unpleasant thing to
touch. But Hearst admits the issue. In
the Sunday edition Of "The New York
American" we read:
"HEARST LAUDED IN
SENATE FOR LOYALTY"
AS an unconscious betrayal of the
secret mind this headline is illuminat-
ing. Mr. Hearst does not know that
loyalty is thing to be taken for
granted, like decency, and that one is
not to be lauded for it.
However, the headline lies Mr..
Hearst was not lauded in the Senate
for loyalty His Washington CORE
spondent interviewed three friendly
Senators. Senator Reed, the Hoover
batter, was quoted for more than a col
umn, because he very joyously assailed

things about Hearst that he was desired
to say. Senator Lewis was quoted for
only half column, for he was conclia-
tory, and said only that Roosevelt and
Hearst agreed on a number of things.
Senator Hoke Smith was quoted for
only one paragraph, because all he would
say was that, however much Roosevelt
might have wished to criticise earlier
publications of "The New York Ameri-
can," it's later issues had been patriotic
And that is how Hearst was lauded in
the Senate for loyalty.
