AT the Cradle Of Liberty

independence Hall in Philadelphia wit
messed on Saturday the signing of new
declaration of independence. 1t was a
dramatic idea for the representatives of
the oppressed nations of Middle Europe
to go to the cradle of American liberty
and put on record there their faith in the
principles of equality Of right and oppor-
tunity which the confederation of the
American colonies was buided
The "self-evident truths" which Jeffer-
SON called to the attention Of the world
in 1776 have been far from self-evident
in the experience Of the Central Euro
pean peoples whose national aspirations
have been stifled for so many centuries
These peoples have been pawns in the
game of empire building, passing from
one alien yoke to another, accepting as
sardonic jest at their expense the dogma
that governments derive their Just pow
crs from the consent of the governed.
For nearly a century and a half after
our own Declaration of Independence
was written the bondmen races of Eu
rope have been held in their bonds.

dawning for them. The European

A German Confession

The important paragraph in Maximil-
ians address to the Reichstag is this:
1T will not be strength that will de-
eide, but it will be what is thought to be
right in free discussions with our oppo-
nents that will give the decision. This is
a great effort for a proud people, accus-
toned to victory"
There are two definite confessions that
ought to be valuable counsel to the Allies.
One is that Germany has been shorn of
the power to prevail by force, and knows
it. The other is that she hopes to escape
punishment by the subtle use of words,
by the manipulation of "what is thought
to be right in free discussions with our
opponents"
There is no dimness about the terms of
fright" to be met before the war can end.
We do not need any "free discussion" to
know them better.
Unless we mean to forget them.

70! 600, 600 7hieues
By Wilbur Forrest
(Copy'Tght, 1918, Nea0 York Tribune I,ac.)

nARlS, Oct. 15.--The majority Of iron
ore which has been moulded into
the millions of shells and thou
sands OF cannon used by Germany in this
war has come from the stolen French
iron mines of the basins of Longwy and
Briey and from the mines of Lorraine,
just across what has been the border of
Germany since the War Of 1870
The Longwy and Briey basins were
stolen from France in 1914, when
France, in an effort to prevent war,
showed her good faith by withdrawing
troops six miles back from the German
frontier.
Without warning Germany began the
invasion of Belgium and simultaneously
the Invasion of Eastern France Ger
man troops flooded over the frontier into
the area of good faith" with the OBJ
Ject of surprise capture of Frances
iron ore deposits. This advance extend
ed not only into the Longwy and Briey
basins, but southwark into the iron ore
area of Nancy. Here the Battle Of
Nancy was fought and the enemy
thrown back. But the German advance
into the area northward held, and was
eventually enlarged.
Estimates to-day are that Germany
has extracted between rs and S5 per
cent of all her vital iron ore from the
two basins which lie south and south
east Of the Grand Duchy Of Luxembourg
and Immediately south Of the lower ex-
trefnity of Belgium, extending further
south to within six miles of the town of
Pont-a-Mousson, on the river Moselle.
Thus, in narrow, irregular area about
thirty miles in length, Germany, cut off
from the iron deposits of the world with
the exception Of some Swedish trade in
this product, has used the iron Of
France to kill French and Allied SOL
diers
Eighteen or twenty important mines
abound in the Longwy and Briey basins.
Some of the principal works are located
in the mining towns of Saunes, Hus-
signy, Micheville, Tiercelet, Errouville,
Anderny, Tucquegnieux, Landres, Pi-
ennes, Amermont, Moutiers, Haume
court, Jarny, Giraumont, Daitoumont
and in the vicinity of Longwy and Briey
themselves.
Behind this iron area lie the cities of

what startling idea that one result Of
the wars experiences might be to usher
in compulsory health. That would prob
ably imply converting a considerable
part of the medical profession into a
state-paid health body, which would
carry out periodic examinations of the
whole community and notably of the chill
dren. Findings such as those of DR..
Cotton, greatly extending the range and
influence Of the milder and local ailments
Of the body. will tend greatly to promote
the acceptance of DR.. Petersons idea.
Meanwhile our health boards and vari-
GUS volunteer public bodies are doing an
admirable work in popularizing these dis
coveries and in teaching the larger pub
lie the high Importance of personal hy-
giene. 1t is obvious that if from these
obscure causes can come cases Of acute
insanity and that some of these may be
cured simply by removing the cause, this
must be equally true in many other of
the battling chronic ailments. 1t is in
teresting to know that the X-ray exam
ination often reveals these infected
pockets" where no superficial indica-
tions are present.
New-York tribune., 1918-10-28
Insanity and Bad Teeth

The humorists of the press will not
fail to take due advantage of the an
nouncement from the New Jersey State
Hospital for the Insane that many cases
of the milder insanities have shown great
improvement from the proper treatment
Of bad teeth Nor would we willingly
stay the hand Of any one who would
propagate the idea that the connection
here indicated is vital and close The
gain to the race and to Our individual
enjoyment of our fellows might be con-
Siderable
But DR.. Cotton's work is Of far larger
significance. He endeavors to show that
most mental disturbances have a physi-
cal or pathological base; the influence of
bad teeth is only one. Infected tonsils
and throats, intestinal disturbances and,
in point of fact, almost any of the chronic
infections may be the direct cause of a
great number of psychic disorders. What
Is new III the work at the New jersey hos
pltal is that careful clinical and labora-
tory examinations are of great value in
revealing the cause and indicating the
treatment in a large number of cases.
even some acute cases. The teeth and
the tonsils have an especial Importance
because they seem especially prone to
these chronic infections; and where such
infection was evident it has been found
that removal of the one or the other
has had striking results. This appears
to be equally true following treatment of
the chronic gastro-intestina disturb
ances. 1t is very well known, for example.
that there are carriers" of typhoid and
other diseases who maintain a fair de-
gree of health, though the infection may
subsist for years. 1t is also we'll known
that in the treatment of chronic rheuma-
tism removal Of the teeth or the tonsils
often has excellent effect If these mild
focal infections, as they are known, can
poison the whole body, even to the tips
of the fingers, they can likewise poison
the cells of the brain and set up equal
disturbances there. And from these GER
tain types of insanity may result

Thionvlle and Metz, on the Moselle. in
Lorraine
Once this mining area is under the fire
OF Allied guns one Of the most valuable
victories of the war will be accomplished.
Railroad systems which criss-cross the
region will be hampered and the work of
evacuatlng the ore can be slowed down
to such an extent that German munition
works in the Rhine Valley, including the
great krupp factories, which have
moulded Longwy and Briey ore into
munitions and guns for four years, will
be forced to substantially curtail their
output.
The capture of any Of these mines will
doubtless liberate thousands of expert
French miners who have been held and
forced to work since the beginning of the
war. There was no time for flight when
the eXultant gray-green lines swept over
the region in August, 1914 The world
was not accustomed to war in those
days. No one in this mining area be-
lieved, according to those few who have
escaped, that the great mines would sud-
denly become German in day.
France benefited by the retention or
the Briey and Longwy basins through
Germany's scientific error after the war
of 1870. Before the signature of the
Treaty of Frankfort German metallur-
gists had expressed the opinion that the
areas In question were not valuable. be-
cause all iron ore rests near the surface.
Germany held the mines of Lorraine and
fixed the border between Lorraine and
France on a line splitting the two areas
III twain. Exploitation of the mines re-
naming to France developed q few years
later that iron ore abounded in great
quantities deep under the earth's SUR
face, and all the years that separated
the war of 1870 and 1914 Germany is
said to have had covetous eve on the
Longwy and Briey basins. The oppor-
tunlty eventually came and was pounced
upon. The offensive of 1916 against
Verdun is claimed by the French for the
most part to have been an effort to draw
France far away from these mining re-
glons, so that Germany might hold them
Tor good and all. But the worm turned.
Germany lost hundreds of thousands Of
her soldiers at Verdun, and now, for the
first time, the prize which she looked
upon for over thirty years is slowly slip
ping from her grasp.

Bloody Toys

The shipload of German toys that
reached this country has been rejected
by its American importers and every
American can be glad and proud We
congratulate the toy dealers on their
prompt action. We hope the government
will show similar spirit by making
bonfire Of the shipment without delay.
10 permit any part Of them to find their
way into the hands of American children
would be sin and crime The outcry
of the American people against this
threatened outrage was a splendid DEM
onstration of the countrys clear vision
of the war and it's issues.
1t has been made plain that every
true-minded American was shocked and
wrathful that these toys were ever ad
mitted to our land. Their purchase be-
fore our entrance into the war was no
palllatlon whatever. The cruel, mur-
derous wrongs to the children of BELGIUM
and the children Of France were a COM
peted fact long before the shipping of
these toys. That bloody record was the
common knowledge Of the civilized world
by 1915 in the unforgettable pages of
the Bryce Report.
There was the baby spitted on a Ger
man soldiers bayonet. There was the
French boy levelling his toy gun, shot
down for his impudence There were the
children used with their mothers as a
screen for German soldiery. Not once,
but thousand times, German savagerv.
German wrath, German bIood-lust
struck, manned, tortured. Never has
there been slaughter of the innocents
so wanton, so brutal, SO bestial.
And it was these toys made bv these
bloody hands that were to be allowed to
become the playthings of American chill
dren. We suppose we shall be told that
it was nice, kindly, sentimental old Ger
man toy makers at home in Nuremberg
who carved and painted these particular
toys We shall again be asked to distin-
gulsh between the wicked German sol
dlers who fought and murdered TO order
by the million and the dear, kind German
people at home who didn't. We are glad
again OF the opportunity to say that we
think the distinction too fine to see. The
sons OF dear, kind fathers and mothers
DO not suddenly go vicious and spit
babies on their bayonets. The blood
guilt for what was done in Belgium and
France cannot be restricted to any mill
tary caste or any group of soldiers. It
IS the damning crime of all Germany. to
blast it through the ages, to cast its odor
about all that Germany makes or does
for years to come.
Private patriotism has now made i'm
possible what government laxity threat
ened. We trust the lesson has been
learned and the danger will not be re-
peated

Europe Will Understand

President Wilson pays poor compll-
ment to the intelligence Of the Allied
publics in Europe when he says that
they would misinterpret the meaning of
the election of a Republican Congress.
The Allied peoples have gone through
the experience of silencing domestic po-
litical rivalries and adjusting them to
the necessities of war They will rightly
base their judgment of our situation on
those experiences.
The President suggests that they will
interpret a larger participation by the
Republican party in the conduct of the
war as an evidence of American disunity.
On the contrary, in the light of their own
knowledge and practice, they will be
bound to interpret it as closer ap-
proach to American unity.
The situation which exists in this
country and which Mr.. Wilson is trying
to prolong is exceptional and anomalous.
1t has no counterpart in Great Britain,
France or Italy. The war in those coun-
tries is not the political asset and exclu-
sive concern of any single party. The
British, French and Italian governments
are coalition governments, in which all
political elements are recognized. There
has been in Europe since early in the
war a "sacred union" of parties No
such thing is conceivable in Great Brit
ain, France or Italy as an appeal by the
head of the government to the voters to
elect legislators belonging exclusively to
one political organization.
Any Allied government in Europe
would quickly be driven out of power
which sought to vest control of the con-
duct of the war in any single political
group. The European ideal is the pa
triotic cooperation of all groups. How,
then, could the Allied publics be dis
turbed by an extension in this country
of the principle of union and free all
party participation in the responsible
ties of government which they them
selves have found to be so necessary and
SO advantageous?
The President says that "the peoples of
the Allied countries are quite familiar
with the significance of elections" They
are. And they are fully capable of in
terpreting an election here which should
put an end to the abnormal, illogical and
Gripping system of one party control.
Great Britain is under bloc regime.
France is under bloc regime. Italy is
under bloc regime. Even in Germany
Prince Maximiian of Baden is trying to
create bloc government responsible to
the Reichstag.
Why should the United States trail
behind the times, standing out for a
single party war government and for
policy which makes Congress mere par
tisan echo of the Executive?
Republican control Of the next Con-
gress would be step toward a broad
ening of war activities and responsible
ties, toward Il wider participation by
Americans Of all factiona affiliations in
q war which is theirs. 1t would end the
partisan monopoly which the Democratic
party claims and which the President
defends. And it would be interpreted
justly and sympathetically in the Allied
countries of Europe, from which monopo
lies of this sort have long been wisely
barred
