Why Is a Prohib;tionist?
(Or an Antii)


We close to-day the interesting SYM
postum which has been running in the
columns of The Tribune for several
weeks. Not in any single discussion. we
venture to say, have so many varied and
novel points of view been given express
sion. Whether any great number of our
readers was influenced in one direction
or another it would be interesting to
know.
But we incline to doubt For simple
reason. Nothing in the whole discussion
was more notable than the way in which
fine and trained minds would look at
exactly the same set of facts in an ex
actly opposite way. If this is true of
men OF the type of DR.. Charles L. Dana
and DIR. Allan McLane Hamilton, Pro-
lessor Irving Fisher or John De Witt
Warner, Chauncey Depew or Senator
Sheppard, it will probably be equally
true of other folk.
IN other words, the whole question of
prohibition and the control of the ]iouor
traffic is highly emotional one, to which
almost every one reacts more or less in a
strongly emotional way. Here, as in so
much else, we think as we feel. Else
how could it come that very able physi-
clans, for example, like those named and
Dr. u. o. Edison, DR.. H. S. Williams. DR.
lsham and DR.. jacob, who have had
VIDE experience in dealing with alcohol
ism, insanity and the like, could be 50
radically opposed to the complete sup
preston of alcohol, while other phvsi-
clans like DR.. Fisk and DR.. Seward
should support it strongly? Evidently It
is the individual reaction rather than anv
preponderance of fact or argument which
determines the point of view.
Now, if all this had occurred 70, ~
n11een years ago an impartial Judge
might have surveyed the discussion with
feelings OF disappointment. He MIGHT
readily nave been led to reflect upon the
emptiness and vanity of human "rea-
son. because he could have had M
clear understanding of why men should
divide upon an important problem in this
strange and apparently inexplicable wav.
But in these ten or fifteen years a new
science has arisen which does give us
ciew-more than that, really clear in
sight. AS usually happens, this new
science is built upon foundations in mart
very old On one side at least it i,
little more than highly amplified ver-
sion OF the familiar observation that
The wish is father to the thought"
but a very wide significance is given
TO this wish" Every human being longs
TO be happy. But our everyday lives
are full of annoyances and disappoint-
ments, griefs and bitternesses. Suppos-
ing we remembered them all! They would
speedily pile up into mountainous bur-
den of black thoughts Life would be
simply uncomfortable. So we-for tho
most part--blissfully forget.
But these experiences, thrust back into
the huge reservoir of the unconscious.
sometimes survive in a curious way.
strange as it may seem, this is especially
true OF the griefs and repressions of
chiidhood. 1t is now known that some
times these will survive with such dv-
manic force that, though wholly uncon-
scious and unknown to us, they will
deeply color our whole lives. The de-
velopment of this idea is the new science
OF psycho-analysis.

That politicians and philosophers

Beside my hate for one fat patriot.
My hatred of the Kaiser is love true.
A kind of god he is, banging a gong.
But have not to choose between the twa
or between justice and injustice. Dinned
With war and argument, read no more
Than in the storm smoking along the wind
Athwart the wood. Two witches caldrons

From one the weather shall rise clear and

Out of the other an England beautiful,
And like her mother that died Yesterday.

Can rake out of the ashes when perchance
The phoenix broods serene above their ken.
But with the best and meanest Englishmen
am one in crying: God save England, lest

She is all We know, and live by: and We

She is good and must endure loving her so;
And as we love ourselves we hate her foe.

But These Things Also


But these things also are Springs,
On banks by the roadside the grass
Long dead, that is grayer now
Than all the winter it was
The shell of little snail bleached
In the grass-chip Of flint and mite
Of chalk; and the small birds dung
In splashes of purcst white:
All the white things man mistakes
For earliest violets
Who seeks through Winters ruins
Something to pay Winters debts.
While the North blows, and starting hoeks
BY chattering ON and on
Keep their spirits up in the mist,
And Springs here, Winters not gone.

WILL FIGHT WARBURG.
Senators Object and May Oppose the
Confirmation.

Washington, March l4.-Paul NJ. War
burg, vice governor of the federal reserve
board and acting head of the voluntary
capital issues committee, is becoming al
issue in the Senate. Several senators in
Dictated yesterday that if President vii.
son, under the pending war finance cor.
poration bill attempts to name Mr.. War
burg as the head of the capital issues
committee, there will be fight against
his confirmation. These senator's say
they have sufficient reason for their ac-
tion.
Mr.. Warburg's former German con
nections have caused senators and con
gressmen to doubt whether he should be
allowed to administer great powers over
corporations. Mr.. Warburg is said to
have a brother at the head of one of the
largest banks in Berlin and another
brother holding a high position in the
German secret service.
1t is pointed out that the war finance
corporation and the capital issues COM
mittee will have considerable influence in
the movement, started recently by the
alien property custodian, to divorce Ger
man interests from their holdings in the
United States and to turn these holdings
over to American firms. This movement
will have TO be financed, and American
firms wishing to take over the German
may apply to the war finance
or the capital issues commit
tee for funds. Mr.. Warburg's former
in the United States are in
volved in part with the very interests
which the alien property custodian de-
sires to sell.

ENGLISH EXPORTERS COMBINE
Is Proposed to Speed Up Trade After
the War.

London, March l4,-An exporters
combine" with 1000 members and funds
OF nearly million dollars year has
been proposed by big British commercial
houses as an after the-war measure. Sir
Charles Mandelberg, head of the organ
izing committee, explained the scheme,
saying:
ITO enable British annfacturers to
compete successfully in the open mar
kets of the world, and to provide for the
increase in wages on pre.war rates the
output Of manufacturers for export must
show very large increase on pre-war
standards. We cannot hope to pay the
increased taxation out of the profits of
the home trade.
THE additional plant called into being
by war requirements is here, ready to be
adapted to peace-time needs. New mar
kets must be found. and the intensive
of existing markets will be
necessary. The clue to what is wanted
is the experience of firms which have
been able to place their own offices in
foreign markets. We propose that every
firm shall have such Offices collectively
and the men in charge will be the best
that can be found. They will have be-
hind them the prestige of the most in
fuential and powerful association of ex-
porters in the world"

BIG LEAGUERS PLAN
LIlBER.UP GAME
Long Schedules of Ante-Season Matches
Have Been Arranged-Many of the
Contests Will Be Prevented
By Poor Weather Con- .-.s
ditions.

New York, March l4.-The largest
number of ante-season er-eague
games ever scheduled for decisions BY
major league clubs, is planned by the
various baseball teams now in training
tor the pennant race of 1918. Close to
sixty such contests have been announced
and 1t Is likely that several Others will
be added to the already lengthy SEIZED
ule before the clubs complete their Jour
neys through the south and southwest.
Based upon the experience of past
years it is not likely that all of these
contests will be played as the records
of recent seasons show that not more
than fifty per cent of the games arranged
are completed, rain and wind storms
frequently causing the teams to aban-
don such exhibitions while en- route That
the clubs find these games extremely
helpful in defraying a portion of the
large expenses incidental to the south
ern training trips is shown by the fact
that more teams are scheduled for these
contests than ever before.
While a large majority of the games
will be played while the squads are
travelling few such inter. league strug-
giles viii be staged in big league parks
preliminary to the opening of the regu
lar season. Philadelphia. Brooklyn, st.
Louis and Cincinnati will sec one or more
such contests. There are but three games
between teams in the same league in the
entire list and these will be played very
early during the training trips so that
they will have little bearing, from a
comparative standpoint, upon the work |
of the teams in the actual league play. |
A two-year record of these ante-sea
son games shows that seventy seven |
have been played of which the National
league teams won forty-three and the
American league clubs thirtythree with
one contest tie. The Nationals lead
with 3l7 runs to their rivals 2s5, while
lits and errors are about even.

LET MARRIED WOMEN TEACH.
Comm. Claxton Suggests This Means of
Relieving Shortage of Teachers.

Washington, March l4.-Suspension of
laws or ordinances prohibiting married
women from teaching school is advocat-
ed by Federal Commissioner of Educa-
ton Claxton as the best means of re-
placing the large number of teachers who
have quit to enter war work.
In letter to city, county and state
school authorities, he points out that
many sections are facing a shortage of
teachers because higher wages paid in
commercial and industrial occupations
are attracting young women from the
schools.
Unless something can be done to
relieve the situation" he says, "the
places of many trained and experienced
teachers will be taken by young teachers
without experience or professional prep

March IA ASSOCIATED Press The sec
tor occupied by American troops east of
Luneville, which was designated former
~ as being in Lorraine, has developed
suddenly into one OF the most active of
the front, from the standpoint OF artil
lery fighting. American artillerymen are
hurting thousands of shells daily against
the German positions, making it virtual

them. Investigation shows that they

Los Angeles, Cal, March l4.-Twenty-
one republics of the western hemisphere
will subscribe to a new Monroe doctrine,
embracing the cardinal principles already
established and adding tenets.
This statement was made by DIR. Allie
iandro Alvares, secretary general OF the
Institute of International Law and per
manent member of the court of arbitra-
ton at The Hague, who addressed stu
dents of law course here Tuesday
night.
The new principles, he said, would pre-
vent the cession of any territory in the
western hemisphere as a war indemnity
to any European power and the acquisi-
ton of such territory by any European
power for any purpose by any method.
He declared the new doctrine was
based on the Interpretation of President
Wilson's war message of last August as
made by the American Institute of Inter
