tees of the College Of the City of New York
relative to the removal of flags of certain
universities from the halls of the COLLEGE.
Among those ordered out was the one of
the University of Prague.
At first blush The reasons for their re-
moval appear sufficient. But an examina-
tlon of the facts leads to other conclu
slons. True, we are in state of war with
Austria. 1t is also true that the President
Austria enemy aliens.
The University of Prague has been the
pride and JOY of the Czechs 1t represents
their spirit. 1t is their institution.
Have the trustees taken into considera
tion the struggle between the Czechs and
Germans in Austria since they have come
under the Austrian domination? Have thew
taken into consideration the fact that the
Czechs are fighting against the German
autocracy whenever the opportunity Of

are organized into separate divisions.
with the Bohemian flag, under the di-
1ection of the French government? Have
they not failed 20 recall that the Czech
regiments laid down their arms at the be-
ginning of the war as protest against
the German rule? Have they given con-
sideration to the fact that entire regiments
composed of Czechs were placed at the
front, with the attacking army in front
and German troops at their back, where
they were sure to be decimated either from
the front or the rear?
In my humble opinion, a nation that does
these things certainly cannot be classed
with the Germans
There are many Czechs in the United
states. They are jealous of their fore
fathers history. They take pride in the
work being done by the Czech leaders in
France, England and in Russia. They are
doing their share in this country They
may be Bohemian born or Of Bohemian an
cestry, but they are true to the country of
their adoption and are as true patriots as
any Americans.
They will all regret the removal of the
flag of the University of Prague from the

best message that we can send you is not

Before coming to France most of us, no
doubt, took American women for granted.
There they swere and there they had been
for decades. Individually respected
them, but taking them as whole we had
no definite opinion, good or bad They were
all right in their way, but they had their
faults. Anyhow, we hadn't thought the
matter over at any great length
But now it is different. We get, each of
us, our splendid letters, full of courage ana
spirit and good cheer. Christmas comes
with its thoughtful gifts-munlers and he'll

things to eat. But the American woman
is more than knitter; with tremendous
enthusiasm she gets out and gives mighty

other things. If she could get over here,
she would come on the fastest ship.
So our eyes are opening. We see the
American woman as she is to-day--meetine
the emergency with a sturdy courage and il
fighting spirit that make our hearts feel n
whole lot lighter. The best we can say to
her is that we will como back with a new
admiration and with an added pride that
our own women have moro than lived up to

German Efficiency Bunk
(From The Aberdeen Amcricon

7TToDt TIC Il AbeTdeen Amcricdn)
The more we learn of what is called
German efficiency" the less impressed are
we with it. That sort of belief has been
fostered by Industrious German propaganda
and now that the war is tearing off the
mask its falsty is shown The dire troubles
that were coming to us because we would
not be able to get the benefit of German
ingenuity have faded before the genius Of
Americans, who are now supplying better
dyes than the Teuts; potash comes from
our own states and every other need sup
Piled from abroad is now filled at home and
better than before. Even the toys are
better than those old ones branded, "Made
IN germany" German efficiency is Ger
man bunk.
New-York tribune., 1918-04-23
Enemies Immune

The President has written a letter to
Senator Overman protesting beforehand
against any meddling by Congress in the
enemy alien situation.
Last week Senator Chamberlain intro
duced bill to give military courts juris-
dlction over crimes of sedtion, treason
and sabotage. Mr.. Chamberlain is a
Democrat and a member of the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs; but he
is not of those chosen by the Administra-
tion to uphold it's hands in Congress.
The President denounces the legality,
the use, the spirit and the purpose of the
Chamberlain measure, which he calls
"thc court martial bill, for
short" He thinks it "would put us upon
the level of the very people we are fight
ing" that it is inconsistent with Ameri-
can practice and that it serves by con-
trast to emphasize the admirable manner
in which Senator Overnan has sup.
ported the Administrations pending leg
islation without any compromise of any
kind"
Senator Chamberlain's committee has
been taking testimony for several weeks
of seditious and reasonable activities in
the land The court martial bill, damn
ingly so called by the President, is the
remedy proposed to meet situation the
handling Of which has been incredibly
lax and Indifferent. To say that the De-
partment Of Justice has been merely in
effective is to defend it, A fatuous ten
derness for enemy aliens is it's main
obsession. It believes an enemy alien by
preference is a friend of this country and
a traitor to his Fatherland. It cannot
perceive the absurdity of trusting the
enemy within on the assumption that he
will be disloyal to his own.
There are thousands of spies in the
country free and unobserved, because
there are tens of thousands of enemy
aliens unidentified. But the Department
of Justice is careful not to act in way
to ALLEVIATE enemy aliens!
1t is true, as the President says, that
to transfer jurisdiction over crimes of
sedition and treason from the civil to
military courts is inconsistent with
American practice. Yet there is a ris-
ing demand that this be done. Why?
Because the treatment Of the enemy alien
menace has been so ineffective that peo-
pie are willing to choose the lesser evil
and say: "Better that we should set up
military courts, with, all the risk that
will entail upon civil rights, than that
the enemy within should continue to be
immune"
It takes some courage to make that
choice, and that so many people have
made it is measure of what is COM
planned of against the Department of
Justice, which promptly gets the record
OF editors who criticise the conduct of
war, bus knows so little about the
people who enter the governments SER
vice that a militant draft obstruction
ist, now about to face a court martial
on charge of desertion, was allowed to
start for Switzerland to fill diplomatic
job. After The Tribune had exposed his
record he was recalled.
1t is almost a comfort to believe that
the Department of Justice is merely
stupid.

Desirable Press Agentrv

1t IS evident that the Bureau of Public
Health Education, which is scheduled to
be abolished by the Hylan Health De-
partment "reorganizers," was thought
Vulnerable because, in addition to the
functions indicated by it's name, it also
served as a bureau of information
Therefore, it was a "press agent" and
press agents are notorious!y unbeloved.
Consequently, it could be abolished with
little resistance. In such reasoning
there was the serious miscalculation that

KIND that "puts something over on" the

reau was an integral part of it's educa-
tlonal work, whether posters, pamphlets
or matter intended for newspaper publ;-
cation. The publicity method was selected
desgnedly as the easiest and cheanest
way Of reaching the greatest number of
people and stimulating them to think
of their own welfare Naturally. the re-
sults OF the various campaigns of educa
tlonal publicity cannot be demonstrated
