AWul BoIdness

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The courage of the State of New
York IN the ejectment of alien school
teachers is something sublime. Nothing
IKE II ever has been on any European
battlefield. Surely the news of it will move
American soldiers to tears
Teachers who even to-day are "aiien
teachers" are to be given slime in which to
declare their intentions and take out citizen
ship papers," Thus says bold Thomas E
Finnegan, Acting State Commissioner of
Education.
That's right, Mr.. Finnegan, Ii the alien
teachers still despise America, club them,
and make them become citizens anyhow.
We need lot more such "citixens," don't
we? Of course, they won't all sign IN IN
order to save their good American pay. Oh.
no! When they have declared" they will
be fine Americans, and can delightfuily
evade the law that was honestly intended -
purge our schools Of their presence.
Great, indeed, is the State Department Of
Education; also wise in the promotion Of
Americanism. VT HORNAnav

Surrender or Nothing

On Thursday the German War Council
head of the Hohenzollern dynasty pre-
siding, Hindenburg present-took the
least warlike prince that could be found
in the empire, made him Imperial Chan
cellor and charged him to procure
peace. 1t is now reported via Holland
that he has proposed a cessation of hos
tilities and the appointment of plenipo-
tentlarieS to meet in a neutral place and
discuss terms. It is reported also that he
offers terms on behalf of Germany--defi-
mite terms for the first time, wherein it
appears the enemy is willing to give up
what he is unable much longer to hold.

stored.
This is the criminal offering terms-the
same Germany that began the war and
risked her existence to gain the whole
world. The answer is already written.

Germany as a guarantee of anything
that is to endure"
Austria-Hungary, ostensibly acting in
her own way, asks for an immediate ar
mistice as a prelude to peace negotia
tons, based upon President Wilson's
fourteen conditions. This is probably a
subterfuge. Does Austria Hungary know
what those conditions mean?
To all enemies alike the path lies open.

AN american Who has been canps and
hospitals IN France
By Grace Hoyt,

Asst week we gave a performance at the
front for about 1000 men who had been
in the trenches since February. Our
stage was roped boxing platform in beau
tful grove; the piano was two tones below
pitch, my sister sat on a soapbox to play;
the army mules broke loose during one of
our songs; the men festooned themselves in
the trees over our heads, or stood in mud
at least three inches deep, but we were all
happy. The nights in this part of France
are extremely cool, but we wear white
gowns-the boys say it's a relief to see
something other than a uniform-and we
are so busy after our performance starts
that we don't have time to feel cold. Then
old people, children and mothers with babies
there are of course no young men--come
to the out-of-door performances, and we
always make it point to do some of their
folksongs so that they can sing the choruses
with
We have brought over all the latest songs.
and when we leave a camp almost every
man has learned them. 1t is very wonderful
to hear a thousand or more of our BOYS
singing, especially when We realize how
utterly worn out they must be from actual
battle. Directly they hear music they seem
to forget everything but their almost child
ish enjoyment Of it.

An Open-Air

around us, and the colonel of the regiment

So that they die for these

The breakers of blue seas:
Clouds marching, caravaned.
And acquainted trees;
Cities times made gray
And talkative and wise;
Hills so old they may
Watch pain with patient ewes:
Young mountain tops that play
AT touching the skies;
The heavens, like a bent hand;
Inc brown earth underneath?
Are these his Fatherland,
For which man stops his breath.
Takes off his body, and
Goes down to sit with Deatbo
OF THESE what man would end
His own fire and lamp-light.

And sits by his hearth at night;
His old, acquainted clothes
And the sweet taste of bread

For which meN lifting up
Life, toss it on the sand
Like water from a cup:
little land that has
Truth round it like sea,
Where dreams are many as
Inc leaves are on tree.
And stars grow in the grass
FOR men to touch and see.
A little, holy land
Within all hearts of men
The earth holds in her hand
There he is citizen
With high. heroic things.
With faiths and loyalties.
with deeds that put on wings.
And songs that sing of these
