A Friend of Humanity

1t would be utterly impossible to meas
ure with any adjectives Of praise the
work of Dir. Edwin B. Cragin, dean Of
the city's obstetricans, friend and healer
of thousands. His was ripe and crowded
life of skilful, devoted service. Year af
ter year he lived by strict schedule that
made possible an unbelievable amount of
work. His private practice he always
held strictly subordinate to his hospital
duties There lay his first obligation
and interest. His vast technical skill
and rare personal gift to observe, to
diagnose, to prescribe, to cheer, lay open
for all the city, rich and poor to share
in equal measure.
None of the tricks or trappings of dis
play were his. He lacked all the strik-
ing gestures Of the aggressive leader.
Rather he ruled and impressed by the
natural dignity and utter simplicity of
the truly great man. No doctor COM
manded greater loyalty and respect and
confidence. No doctor used simpler,
more direct methods. 1t was as a friend,
by virtue of common humanity, that
he healed and comforted.
Such life of labor end service to
thousands needs no marble to perpetuate
its memory. Good done on so large and
generous scale is a living, pulsing
thing that can never die. The city Of
DR.. Cragin's labor is the better for his
living, and the whole medical profession
is the stronger and cleaner for his
works.

ments been more forcibly translated
than the several notes of Mr.. Wilson
in recent weeks. But as against the
forcible translation there has been the
inspired explanation, which has more
and more tended to establish the idea
that in some fashion the United States
is to act as judge at court in which
the issue between Germany and the ma
tions fighting her is to be tried
This means that the United States
would assume to tell France, after her
four years Of agony and her half-cen-
tury of peril and humiliation, what
safeguards she could take and what
were forbidden. 1t would mean that
we should assume to write the law of
the sea for Britain, whose fleet has
saved us and the world from the Ger
man yoke. 1t would mean, in plain
fact, that in the peace negotiations we
should appear as the German advocate
and find ourselves in no long time asso-
ciated with Germany against our allies.
This is the greatest peril of all. Those
who feel it most keenly are the very
men and women who are most eager to
follow the President and most earnestly
hope he will not make it impossible,
and thus doom the noble conception Of
true league of nations.

must remain "under the crown of st.
Stephen" Jugo- -Slavia. however, isn't
bothering about st. Stephen or his de-
scendants. 1t will cut loose from Buda-
pest with as little compunction as Hun
garia is now cutting loose from Vienna.
There is no room in free, modern
Europe for state like Austria-H Hun
gary Even the German Deputies in the
Austrian Reichsrat have banded togeth-
er to create an independent South Ger
man state. They see the handwriting on
the wall. What was the Hapsburg en-
pire will be dissolved into fragments and
scattered, each fragment seeking new
political reIations-either independence
or union with another existing state.
The great event which Southeastern
Europe has been awaiting for fifty years
is close at hand. The Hapsburg in
heritance is about to be divided. If the
supposed political necessities of Europe
once justified or tolerated the Dual Mon
archy they do so no longer 1t disap
pears because it was part and parcel of
an order which has become extinct. The
tragic doom of the Hapsburgs, long fore
shadowed by destiny, is about to be full
filed
New-York tribune., 1918-10-26
The Doom of the Hapsburgs

One of the famous aphorisms of Euro
pean craftsmanship concerned the per-
manence and political utility of the
Hapsburg monarchy. 1t was to the eff
feet that if such a conglomeration had
not already existed the other European
powers would have been obliged to call
it into being.
That was before the idea of the self
determination" of races and peoples had
taken root and when political unity was
still supposed to flow from the common
attachment of heterogeneous groups to
the fortunes of a given dynasty. Now
the magic Of such a tie has vanished.
The separatist instinct, long repressed,
has become rampant and ancient mosaics
like the artificial Dual Monarchy are
breaking violently asunder.
Even Hungary, which protited i'm
mensely by the union with Austria, re-
ceiving thereby license to keep her own
non-Magyar elements in subjection, is
now turning toward separatism. Count
Karolyi, the leader of the independence
party in the Hungarian Parliament,
has introduced resolution demanding
termination of the German alliance, a
severance from Austria, an acknowledge
ment of the independence of the South
Slav provinces and the selection of an
Hungarian king, who must reside in
Budapest. He has also threatened
revolution in case his demands are not
complied with.
Was he seized and imprisoned as a
traitor to the Hapsburg crown? Not at
ALL DR.. Wekerle, the Hungarian Pre-
mier, merely asked the lower house to re-
ject Count Karolyi's resolution on the
ground that the government itself would
soon introduce a measure dealing with
the same subjects
DR.. Wekerle admitted that steps were
being taken to bring back the Magyar
troops now beyond Hungary's borders.
They are needed at home. A Croatian
regiment has just seized Fiume, Hun
gary's Adriatic port The South Slavs
believe in independence as much as the
Hungarian nationalists do. And thew
have only to revolt to get it. DR.. Wekerle
says that he is not opposed to the creation
of South Slav state, including Croatia
Bosnia and Dalmatia, but that this state

To MIR. Alfred E. Smith

What The Tribune some months ago
said in personal praise Of Mr.. Alfred E.
Smith as a legislator Of ability and
honor is now being quoted and pla-
carded, without any indication of it's
date, in support of his candidacy for
the Governorship on the ticket of Tam
many Hall.
We hope that Mr.. Smith is not
party to this proceeding, and shat now
it is brought to his attention he will end
it. For this disingenuous use of The
Tribune's words of praise is a contempti-
BILE trick and the cheapest sort Of Tam
many politics.
If Mr.. Smith had countenanced this
perversion of sentiment, or if he were
now to countenance it, he certainly
would forfeit every word of praise
which The Tribune then believed itself
justified in awarding him.

The Meanest Profteers

If there could be anything meaner
or more disgraceful than the retail
profiteering in oranges and lemons we
cannot imagine it. Here was an urgent
sickroom need. The extraordinary de-
mand came largely from the poor, among
whom the influenza scourge has been
particularly severe. And a number of
demand to boost the prices out of all
possible reason.
Let us be thankful that the Federal
Food Board has gone to work promptly.
We hope the investigation will be thor
ough and the punishments severe. In
some cases the preposterous price of 20
cents an orange has been asked. From
present returns it would seem that 10 to
Is cents an orange allows an ample
profit to the retailer, the top price rep
resenting the choicest kind Of fruit
Already one Broadway dealer has been
found guilty and ordered to refund his
excess profits also to paste notice of
his guilt in his window. That should be
the universal rule Meantime the cam
paign against the butchers goes on mer-
rily. Lamb chops which cost 26 cents a
pound and were sold at SO cents were
the latest item uncovered here The
total number of butchers now penalized
is III.
We trust our readers will cooperate
with the Federal authorities in this ad-
mirable campaign. Report any charge
which seems to you exorbitant at once.
Then, if your dealer is convicted, see
that his guilt is duly advertised as d.
rected. The public admission of prof
teering is the one fair and effective
punishment that has been devised.
Watch for these confessions of guilt and
deal accordingly

Jobs for Cripples

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Are there any disabled men who are
still looking for work? Are there any Grip
pied who have not worked for so many
years that they have grown discouraged,
believing that sitting at home reading the
newspaper or selling shoestrings was the
only alternative open to them? Are there
any soldiers who have been manned in the
service Of their country who want to con-
tinue serving by making ammunition or
who want to learn new trade in which
they can make a new career?
The Red Cross Institute for Crippled and
Disabled Men, 81 Fourth Avenue Corner
Twenty third Street,, invites all such men
and boys to come to its employment bureau.
The bureau is open daily from till 8. We
seek to get good jobs at living wages for
all men who apply, for work We feel that
the men who come here are as capable to
hold good positions, if they go into work
suitable for them, as are the normal men.
Work is plentiful now. Our country
needs every bit of man power there is to
help it win the war. Every man who can
not go to the front and fight can help in
some other way. If his brother has been
drafted he can step into the breach and earn
so that his family may be self-supporting.
We have need for men in our factories
manufacturing supplies for the armies of
our country and our allies Let every
handicapped man who wants to buy Lib
crty bond "come over" and get into some
essential work. The Red Cross Institute for
Crippled and Disabled Men. 81 Fourth
Avenue, again invites all crippled men to
apply there for Job

Not Fit to Print
(Fro,n Leslie's Week,y)

l. REEDOM! 1t is most extraordinary
that one of the oldest and most in
fuental New York daily papers. The Trib-
une, has felt compelled to spend thousands
of dollars in the advertising pages of its
contemporaries to tell the story Of re-
markable crusade against it. Because OF
The Tribune's bitter arraignment of the
Hearst newspapers, many newsdealers IN
greater New York discouraged the sale OF
Hearst publications. Thereupon the New
York Publishers Association representing
the daily newspapers, agreed no longer to
sell their papers to newsdealers who dis-
criminated against the Hearst publications.
The newsdealers protested and The Trlb-
une led them in opposition to the boycott
Next the New York publishers notified the
American News Company not to deliver
the newspapers to ant-Hearst newsdeaers.
The Tribune met this attack by granting
the newsdealers request for a reduced
price of the daily papers. The American
News Company insisted upon maintaining
the old price. The Tribune next organized
It's own delivery system The ne"sdeale''

public that there have been injunction pro-
ceedngs in the courts and incipient riots
in the streets, all of which the New YORK
papers have steadily ignored IN their ne" :

the matter of German Southwest and
German East Africa.
1t would be possible to multiply
these examples, but it is unnecessary.
The fear in many minds to-day is lest
Mr.. Wilson's championship of the
league of nations may be used by Ger
many to separate the United States from
its allies. The fear is not lessened by
the suggestion from Washington, in OBJ
viously inspired correspondence, that the
remedy for this is the adherence of the
Allied nations to the Fourteen Points,
formulated by Mr.. Wilson, without re-
servation, condition or amendment
For Mr.. Wilson's plan Of a league Of
nations there is naturally enlisted the
support and the sympathy of every
liberal minded man on this planet
After the last four years of agony, even
those who are most skeptical as to the
practical possibility feel that an honest
and an earnest attempt should be made
to create an international machinery
which shall make tragedies like the
present war impossible
Thus the President is assured of the
overwhelming support of all shades of
opinion and political faith in all the
really democratic nations Of the world
for his noble conception of league of
nations, provided that there be no at
tendant circumstances which separate
him and his country from the other
liberal nations. And the thing that
might separate us from our allies is an
effort to prevent France, Britain and
Italy from taking those precautions
against a new German attack which
are consonant with their own necessi-
ties for self protection.
The great fear manifested in many
quarters where the league of nations
has become the chief concern seems to
be lest something might be written into
the peace settlement which would so
anger the German people that they
would not join in league of nations
But there is no concern manifested lest
by subordinating the legitimate inter
ests of the nations now fighting Ger
many in alliance with US to the desire
to propitiate Germany the support of
the Allied peoples should be lost to the
principle of the league of nations.
Germany is man9uvring obviously
and desperately to divide the President
from the nations now in alliance with
US. She will promise anything short
of suicide to bring this thing to pass,
because it is her only hope of saliva
tion-salvation meaning for her escape
from paying the just price for her
crimes and her offences. She has
made sufficient progress superfcially to
awaken intense alarm in this country
and in Europe, although this alarm has
as yet found little positive expression.
So far the press and the public have,
in the main, contented themselves with
asserting that the various notes of the
President have said what they hoped
would be said. Never have public docu-
