First to Smoke Tobacco.

Tradition ascribes tobacco and Its
origin to many things. Some say II
was Sir Walter Raleigh who intro
dueed 1t in the early seventeenth cen
fury, but the tiny village of Henstridge
Ash, Somersetshire, claims the distinc-
ton which cannot be disputed and one
can find many champions of that
cause In the immediate vicinity. The
entire village consists of one house,
known as the "Old Ash" or Virginia
Inn" and here. it is said, tobacco was
smoked for the first time.

Tip to Poets.

It might not be idle TO observe that
"khaki" does not lend itself to poetry
as well as some more euphOnious
words. notes the Indianapolis News.
It's uses are more utilitarian than
decorative. In a uniform it is inspir-
ing, but in cold type it conveys no
such impression. War poets, before
setting out to WOO the muse. should
consider the difficulties of "khaki."
If by so doing the overfiOwing current
of war poetry could be somewhat
stemmed a great service would be
done a troubled nation.

THE BOOMERANG ROUTE

TINE march on Paris is ending in de-
L fense of the Rhine. The boomerang
route is obviously Improbable when one
gratuitously seeks to plunder his neigh
bors. 1t eventually must lead freebooter
to safeguard his own possessions, which
nobody had ever threatened before his in
solent forays abroad.
The Kaiser seems alive to this draw.
back. In a special cable to the EVENING
PUBLIC LEDGER Edwin l.. James, whose
authoritative correspondence is habitually
based on fact rather than fancy, declares
that Allied commanders have positive in
formation concerning the formation of a
special German army, half million strong,
to defend the storied stream that washes
Mainz Coblentz and Cologne. If the
Fatherland be not yet in danger, the dis
NAL vision Of an astute general staff in
forms them that it will be.
The most fervid forecasts of liberty's
legions have hardly outdistanced this cold
calculation of their foe. However, bitterly
and against her will, Germany is prepar-
ing for the possibility of the Rhine's en-
listment in the ranks of battle rivers.
& Without speculating a day ahead of the
report of her defensive preparations, the
news is tremendously significant-perhaps
She most joyously startling of this kalei-
doscopic summer.

free government isn't free that the Amer
lean spirit Of fair play begins and ends
in rhetoric, that we in this country are
swayed by ignorance and bigotry or that
our methods of government are not effi.
cient could help but look with delight
upon the recent disturbances in the
streets Of Philadelphia and the injustices
suffered by innocent and reputable citizens
at the hands of unruly gangs.
The thought that race fights should be
recurrent is altogether intolerable. Some
thing is wrong somewhere. Beneath the
face Of the trouble more serious trouble
exists. Whether 1t is limited to police
inefficiency or an inadequate force, whether
1t has its origin in the sheer lawlessness
Of few men in a carefully engendered
and artiflcialy cultivated bigotry on one
side or the other, everybody with regard
for decency and order will want to know
the facts.
An explanation more thorough than any
yet offered is due from the police. At the
same time the officers of the marine corps
who were left by Lieutenant Colonel Hatch
to maintain order in Philadelphia have
ground for swift and relentless action in
the case of those of their own men who
are reported to have had a part in recent
street disturbances. The marines have
magnificent record as the best police force
in the world II the report that members
of the corps assaulted negroes Is not un-
founded, then a few men in service
which the country esteems and holds in
affection have done their utmost to bring
discredit upon their uniforms.

issued by the War Department for pub.

phia soldiers were reported as missing.
simultaneously with the publication of the
list the War Department sent kilograms to
the relatives of each soldier. The tele-
grams announced that the soldier in ques-

action on July Is. In several instances
however. the department wires were
beaten to this city by letters from the
