ONE PENALTY FOR SPIES.

There should be no doubt as to the
fate of Titus, alias Chatlllon, the as
sociate of Boy-Ed and Won Papen,
who has been found Ill the uniform
Of a lieutenant of the United States
army. 1t is perfectly plain why he
enlisted, and only the accident of dis
covery prevented disaster. If he had
gone to the front he would have been
in a position to betray the lives Of
his comrades. Death is the universal
punishment for n military spy. and 1t
should be promptly inflicted in this
case, II merely as warning to 9th
ers. says Philadelphia Ledger The
magnitude of the peril is again Illus
frated by the arrest In Atlantic City
Of a German posing as Belgian, for
the purpose Of obtaining in confidence
Information of value to the enemy.
This man Is charged with having in
his possession maps of Atlantic har-
bors, sketches of munitiOn plants and
q set Of marine regulations. II the
U-boats in American waters have been
aided by spies on shore, this Is pre-
cisely the kind of activity to expect.
Another alien enemy has been arrest
cd in st. Louis who had in his posses
sion a map Of the United States with
the principal railway bridges marked
In red Ink. The quickest way to
check this method of attack from with
I'm is to make death the certain penalty
Of detection.

The Simla correspondent of the
Times, London, i'll pointing out that
in the year which ended April last
the comhatants enlisted in India num-
bered 2S5 200, stated that any estimate
of India's man-power based on total
population would be fallacious, since
a large proportion of Indians are nom
fighting people. The latter fact partly
explains why Indias representation in
the line, of battle is comparatively
small. If the population Of that vast
country were of the kind that peoples
the white mans lands it would form
an unbeatable aggregation.

MISTAKEN PUNISHMENT.

The man who first said: "Spare the
rod and spoil the child" has been
dead for many years; but he probably
caused more suffering to children
than any other man before or since,.
says DIR. A. Mckay Jordan In HUI
manitarian Magazine. We have not yet
LOST entirely the barbarous idea that
1t is necessary to punish child con-
stantly in order to insure that he
should become a wise and virtuous
man. There is no child that deserves
punishment for any of its actions.
Apart from the usual childish pranks
and scrapes which, through lack OF
sympathy and understanding, we
elders find so annoying, any so-called
fault which a child commits is due
either to i'll health or improper train
ing, and in neither case should a sin
which Is not his be visited upon the
| child. A baby cries because It is.
hungry OF otherwise unhappy, and
slapping it is but q poor remedy for
either unhappiness or hunger. The
juvenile delinquent errs because he
has not been correctly trained or be-
cause he is incapable of proper train
ing. In the first instance it is his
elders and not the child who deserve
punishment, and in the alternative case
all the punishment in the world will
not prove q remedy.

In Pennsylvania il has been decreed
that crackers are in the same category
as bread. and that hereafter 1t will be
contrary to the food administration
rulings for oyster houses, restaurants,
quick lunches, hotels and clubs to
serve more than two ounces of crack
ers with an order of soup or oysters In
any shape. In one way it is possible
that the restaurants will regard this
q blessing in disguise, for 1t Is no
secret in the trade that great many
customers consume at least one-third
the value Of their soup order In crack
ers that are served as side dish, says
Hotel Gazette. 1t will be a money
saving proposition to the restaurant
man and will doubtless be regarded
by him in that light. The admins
tration is going thoroughly into the
matter, and Investigations will be insti'
! tuted to find where and by whom TINS
order is violated in the ranks Of oyster
| houses and restaurants,

If we keep constantly in mind that
there is no wartime meaning in thrift
which does not increase the indus
trial power at the command Of the
nation, we shall be in less danger Of
overlooking the fact that there are
conditions in which thrift Tlay defeat
Its essential purpose, There has been
TOO much of a tendency to regard
every dollar saved as an addition to
fhe war resources of the nation, says
New Republic. 1t is true now, as 1t
was true before the war, that much OF
our working class lacks the means to
provide the food, clothing and house
room essential for full industrial eff
cheney. To induce the worker who Is
already inadequately supplied to cut
down the consumption of his family
and himself is of doubtful service to
the nation. For employers to compel
underpaid workers to contributes tc
government loans is to add despotisn
to unreason. Thrift at the expense o.
industrial power represents a sacrl
fee of the end to the means.

VALUE OF SPANISH.

Accepted as conclusive the general
resolution to exclude from the schools
the teaching of the German language
1t would seem the part of wisdom to
substitute another and more attrac-
tive tongue, says Las Vegas IN. M
Optic. This is Spanish, spoken by
millions OF close neighhOrs and the ma
tive speech of the residents of our Is
land possessions. Even now, with the
Teutonic competitor excluded, strong
efforts are being made by bankers anG
tradesmen to obtain for the United
States the commerce of South Amer
lea. The great war has operated
to turn these peoples away from
Germany and toward this country,
once unjustly suspected of an am
bition to dominate the entire western
hemisphere politically. TO carry on
business with them and TO be in po-
sition to exchange the treasures of arr
and literature as friends, it is almost
an imperative necessity that theif
speech be acquired. The time to be-
gin acquiring it is now, and not later
From the head of the national govern
ment the initial and energizing i'm
pulse should be given by proclamation
calling upon the directors of educa
tion in all the states to take up ant
forward the work of installation of th'
teaching machinery. In this worthy Ia
Dor, no doubt, valuable cooperation
would cheerfully be offered by the va
rious South American governments.

Yesterday it was only the men who
went forth to war while the women
remained behind to keep up the home
and cultivate the fields. Today the
women still keep up the home and cul-
tivate the fields, but they also do their
part-a splendid part-in the actuaf
work of carrying on war. Thousands
of these women are scattered about
the United Kingdom and in France;
many of them very close to the actual
battlefront, risking their lives and CIV
ing themselves as freely, as unselhshly
and courageously as their men do to
drive from the earth all fear OF the
iron heel of Prussianism, says New
Success. They are in the base ana
field hospitals, and canteens and Dress
ing stations, in the Y. NJ. 9. A. huts-
everywhere, and are an Indispensable
factor in carrying on the war.

More than 100000 members OF
Americas fighting forces are now in
sured for more than $16,500,000,C00 by
the United States government, Secre-

says Army and Navy Journal. Up to
the close of business on'May 13, there
has been received 2,029,sS6 insurance
applications aggregating $16,6G3, ,514,-
600 by the military and naval division
Of the bureau of war risk insurance.
The average amount of insurance ap-
piled for is $500, the maximum per-
mitted by law being $4,000. Approx
mately 1000 applications for govern
ment insurance are being received
daily. In the two weeks preceding
May 16 $1,000,000,000 of insurance
was written on the lives of soldiers
and sailors. This indicates that the

offer with great enthusiasm, and that

But short time ago pesslmlstlc
writer's were Historically bewaiiing the
deterioration of American MANHOOD
They saw evidences of 1t in the fac-
tories, in the public schools, in every
walk of life, and prophesied that in q
few years we would be pathetic race
of pygmies, says Philadelphia 'Tele-
graph. In any of our national en-
campments one may now see the hnest
specimens of manhood on the face OF
the earth. American manhood Is far
from deterioration. AS matter OF
fact we are growing stronger every
day. Advancement in the Sciences
clean living and better understand

Russian peasants are wise. They
will only accept American bank notes
in payment for their wheat, says the
Fort Worth Record. German buyers
are purchasing large quantities OF
United States notes for shipment to
Austria by way of Switzerland to be
used for the purchase of this years
wheat crops from the Ukraine. Rus
sian peasants know the difference be-
tween the central empires counterfeit
money AMI the real money of the
United States. They were betrayed
by Lenine and Trotzky into the
clutches of the military autocrats of
middle Europe, but they are shrewd
traders and they demand American
money in payment for their products
before these products pass into the
hands of the Prussian overlords.

Scarcity of oil in Denmark IS SO
great that there has been danger at
various times that there would not be
enough for the railway signal lights
and the beacons on the coast. The
government has recently contracted
for 400 tons of tallow for candles to
form an emergency supply for these
lamps and to be used in the farm
houses of the country. The coal short
age has made 1t almost impossible to
obtain dependable electric or gas ngh'
service. Alcohol lamps with mantleS
similar to those used in gas burners
are being installed in stores and city
residences, and the government has re
moved the ban from acetylene, In spite
of the fact that it is explosive.

German is no longer to be required

literature will not be asked in any
department of the university. The

a knowledge of the language will moi
