FOR HEARTS THAT YEARN

FIFE is full Of delicious and whimsical
~ surprises. Whenever we are tempted
70 despair. to turn blue around the gils,
70 feel that the worlds collar is wilted and
~ trousers are frayed comes some unde
zaorved windfall Of laughter or gentleness
Il may be a letter from a friend, a fresh
cinnamon bun still warm from the oven
or . batch of handkerchiefs come back
from the laundry without a hole. How
ever small they may be, we are surrounded
by countless evidences that humanity has
not altogether wasted its time on this ex-
eellently planned planet.
It is true that these are black days,
Hgrim days, days sour on the tongue But
man il after all a sensible, humorous up
building animal; he will not forever go
on tearing his pleasant earth to shreds
with fame and bitterness. In so far as
each one OF us can keep at the tasks of
ovory day with honor and patience and
pinch Of generosity toward others we
Hhall win through toward happier time.
e Ana what time that will be! Is It a
q uofo rainbow dream to think that the
ehildren we see about us now will grow
pp to look on a world that will be a saner
place? When this CHASTITY nightmare is
nast will not the roses burn redder, the
very rain shed softer silver on the thirsty

JUSTICE

THE decision to pay the mechanics in
- the Water Bureau a living wage is a
matter Of simple justice. An increase Of
t1.25 day for the foremen and from
dfty cents to seventy-five cents day for
the others is no more than fair in view of
the increased cost of living.
1t would have been better If the city had
decided to grant the extra pay before the
men had announced their intention to re-
sign to seek other jobs. The men would
then have felt a greater loyalty to their
employment. But the mistake of judg
ment was made and Councils is doing its
best to correct it.
y The result will probably be that Councils

81 the other little" men in order to retain
them. The pay ought to be increased any
way. so that the men may support their
families and preserve their self-respect.
The high-salaried men can wait but the
men getting less than $500 have been
hard put to it in recent months to live.
II the men holding political jobs and
doing little work would only get out and
earn q decent living in necessary indus
ry almost enough money could be found

THE FACTS ABOUT BEER

MR.. HOOVER meets the demand that
AVA he forbid the use of food grains in pro-
ducing beer with what amounts to a def
mite refusal. He realizes that this puts
him on the defensive and he has stated
will condemn him.
He reminds us that the alcoholic liquor
provisions of the food act order the imme-
date cessation of the distilling of liquor
and empower the food administrator TO
regulate the use of foodstuffs in brewing,
even to the extent of entirely prohibiting
it. The act permits him to seize any dis
titled liquors which may be necessary to
provide alcohol for the manufacture of
munitions. Such distilled liquors as are
not thus seized may be sold
Now. Mr.. Hoover says that there is
stock Of whisky, brandy and gin large
enough 10 last for two years or more, and
he says that II he should forbid the de-
livery of grains to the breweries the supply
Of beer would be exhausted in about two
months. This would leave wine and spir.
ituous liquors to supply the demand for
alcoholic drink. He concludes that it is
better for the country that there should
be a supply of beer than that there should
be a whisky and gin dehauch lasting until
the supply of distilled liquors was ex-
hausted. Most persons will agree with
him.
About s,l5O,0O0 bushels of oats, barley
and cracked rice are diverted monthly
from the family table to the beer bottle.
If these grains are to be saved as food,
assuming that beer has no food value, it
will be necessary to forbid the sale of
spirituous liquors in order to prevent con-
ditions which every one would deplore and
which Mr. Hoover thinks would be worse
than those produced by the use of grain
for beer.
Now that Congress knows the facts we
shall see whether 1t viii continue in its

THE SUBMARINE SCARE

DHILADELPH1A, New York and other
l. cities on or near the Atlantic coast will
not be raided by Germans from the sea or
from the air unless the Hun has reserved
the greatest invention of the war for an
attack on America. There is no earthly
reason why the momentary hysteria that
ruffled the Senate yesterday and threw Mr..
| Brandegee and Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Lodge
into a rumpus of debate should become
general
The War Department plans for coast
defense by a more elaborate system or
observation balloons and airplane patrols
come a little late That is a matter that
should inspire whatever explanations are
due from the Government If balloons and
airplane bases are necessary now, they were
necessary six months ago. SO far as the
navy is concerned Assistant Secretary
Rousevelt's statement that all vessels
equipped with wireless were warned in
time of the submarine menace is adequate.
It is useless to clamor for detailed infor-
nation relative to the navy's methods or
its procedure in this instance. The navy
will not tell. II 1could be foolish II It aid.
Submarine vessels Of a special type can
that one or more vessels with air machines
are now in American waters. But the prob
ability is extremely remote. The scope
power and radius of air machines of the
sort that can be carried in submarines are
well understood. To confuse airplanes OF
this type with those that have bombed
English and French cities is to fall into
a fantastic error. The Germans have eX'
perimented with planes of diminutiVe
and relatively Intellectual type which they
have been known to carry as part of their
submarine equipment. Such machines are
capable of only short flights They can
carry only light burdens. They are. so
far as all the records of this war have
shown, almost entirely insignificant as a
medium of offensive action. The employ.
ment of such devices in any psychological
drive upon America would involve eXtraor-
dinary perils for the submarine crews
and vessels. To assemble and launch such
a machine is known to require consider
able time and work upon the surface. In
that interval the vessels and their men
would be absolutely at the mercy of any
patrol craft that happened along.
The possible appearance of a marine
airplane over the coast cities must appear,
therefore, to be little more than a night
mare of the alarmists. Should such a ves-
sci ultimately appear. its use could involve
little more than a futile gesture of ter
rorism. The mechanical limitations of such
machine would leave it easy prey to any
aircraft that attacked it. And even were
it to carry bombs and run a wild chance
of dropping them in an American CITY,
these bombs would be necessarily small
and made chiefly for their noise The
heaviest and most powerful aircraft that
can be built are required for bombing
raids. The type of air machine with which
one or two German submarines are said
to be equipped is the smallest and frailest
known.
The Germans came over to throw a scare
into America. They have seemed to have
had an initial success in the Senate at
least.

FREE POLAND ESSENTIAL TO PEACE

creation of a united Independent State of

The Kaiser agrees to part of this. He
plans a separate State of Poland with one

But this is not the kind of freedom which

which the Poles have been dreaming for
