Portugal:s Flag

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Since the twelfth century Portugal
has had several national emblems. Up to
the fifteenth century it was always white
flag, either decorated with the Cross. or the
"Qulnas" Give maravedis), or an armillary
sphere, and it was the flag carried by the
great navigators Vasco da Cana to India.
Cabral to Brazil, etc.
The heraldic flag of King John II was
white with red border; these colors were
seen in triumphal course over the two
hemispheres and inspired the greatest per
sonages of Portuguese history. Since then
the red has been more or less retained in
the national flag.
In 1870 the colors were changed to blue
and white; under these coors Pedro "
granted constitution to the Portuguese
nation, and this flag with coat of arms
and CROWN remained the ensign until
October 5, 1910, when successful revolu-
tlon overthrew the ancient monarchical re-
glme and established the Portuguese Re.

The present flag is dark green and scar.

tlcally united, the green to the pole; the
green is taken from the banner under which
the battle of Aliubarrota was victoriouslv
fought. The scarlet represents the TERRITORY
herolcally reconquered from the Saracens
In the middle of the line dividing both COL
ors there are the embems of the main events
IN the history of the nation: The white shield
holding the "Quinas" (fives) or maravedis,
IN blue and white-the brave symbol OF
independence from the imperialism of the
hlngdom o. Castillo. In the true historic
sense the "Quinas" are always the complete
expression of the autonomy of Portugal.
The red shield, with seven castles. repre.

upon golden armillary sphere, which
symbolizes the marvellous period of naviga-
tlon and discovery by the Portuguese.

Two branches Of laurel, the stems of which
are united by a white bow bearing the

And sleep upon my eyelds heavy lay.

SO sweet thing to see watched her pass.

She smiled and answered me: "In vain

lie Health Department.. This Is in line
with the advice of DR.. Chaplin, Of Provi-
dence, we'll known authority, and Of
experts generally.
What appears to be urgent are the Wild
est possible inspection and quarantine
of cases and adequate care and seclu-
sion of the victims. No person clearly
showing the disease should be allowed
III shop, theatre or other public or
crowded place, and especially in the cars
and subways.
1t is evident that the figures given
out daily reveal but little the prevalence
of the epidemic. DR.. Copeland says that
so far less than per cent of the city's
population has been affected But even
that would mean near to 100000 cases,
instead of around 10000 reported. And
DR.. Goldwater's belief is that the actual
figure is nearer 10 per cent. which
would mean nearer half a million in
greater New York alone. Either way
it is evident that the onset Of the dis
ease here has, SO far, been relatively
mild. But Massachusetts is a warning
that it may not remain so.
The greatest danger, it is evident from
the army death rate, is from over-crowd-
ing and close contact with active cases.
1t is almost certainly and almost wholly
contact or carrier disease, as most
epidemics are. 1t seems to travel di-
rectly from one person to another. The
way to avoid it is to avoid Contacts"
and keep the nose and throat we'll
sprayed and clean.
In all large establishments physi-
clan should be in attendance in the
morning to spot all possible cases and
send them home. In many quarters such
influenza visits" have become popular
and resulted in much good. DR.. Manages,
of Mount Morris Hospital, points out
that the severe form of the epidemic
has been largely confined to adults of
eighteen and over. That is an ex-
tremely benefcent feature, for it cuts
out nearly one-half of the population.
But it means that it is far more serious
for the active, working part of the COM
munity than other infiuenzas have been.

Lesson: One Theatre, $75O,OOO!

The President started it. In a few
minutes it had developed into bond
buying riot" There was a pandemonium
of subscriptions, whole audience shout
ing frantically to have their names put
down Think what it meant! There are
perhaps forty such theatres in greater
New York as the President attended Fri
day night. 1t may have been an unusual
audience when it became known that the
President would attend. But consider
still the fact that casual theatre crowd
of perhaps 1900 persons could subscribe
total of three-quarters of a million.
and not one very large subscription in
the lot.
Take your pencil: 40 X 0,O00=$3O,-
100000. In one city. In one night.
Say that New York is 10 per cent of
the city population of the country. Re-
peat the dose in the other 80 per cent
and you have s3oo,oOo,Ooo. From thea
tre audiences alone. The basis little
popular enthusiasm. An effect of mass
action, or, if you please, mass psychol-
ogy.
1t is time to study it. This is a social
and sociable world. It's units do not live
to themselves alone. Their fellows play
a deep and accrescent role in their lives.
That audience did not buy their bonds
because they had carefully calculated
just what was each individuals share in
this war. They did not think of Az per
cent interest. Nor Of possible future
premium ON Liberty bonds. They bought
in response to that electric wave of deep
social emotion that big, enthusiastic,
yelling crowd alone can bring.
This country has almost unlimited
wealth. That wealth is almost what

millions Of workers in the United States.
capitalists and workmen and thinkers
and promoters and energizers choose to
make it. The war has swollen it bv at
least 20 per cent, counting out all mere
imitation of prices. We have at least
forty billions to spend this year. We
need six for the new loan. 1t is not half
subscribed
We think our loan managers might
take heed of Friday nights demonstra-
ton. The President cannot appear in
forty different theatres in New York
alone, nor lead in thousand theatre

number of generals, admirals, Cabinet
officers, statesmen and financiers who
might serve. The public likes to see

New-York tribune., 1918-10-13

~ NUR war aim ought to be uncon-
ditional surrender Of Germany
and of her vassal allies, Austria
and Turkey. We ought not to consider
any peace propositions from Germany
until this war aim has been accomplished
by the victorious arms of our allies and
ourselves.
1t is worthy Of note that the Central
Powers show greedy eagerneSs to
accept the so-called fourteen points laid
down by President Wilson. l earnestly
hope that when the time for discussing
peace proposals comes we shall ourselves
repudiate some of these fourteen points
and that we shall insist on having all of
them put into plain and straightforward
language before we assent to any of
them. Let us remember that Congress
shares with the President the right to
make treaties and that the people are
bound to insist that they, the people, are
in peace treaty is followed by both the
President and the Congress.
For example, what does that one of
the fourteen points referring to the free
dom Of the seas mean? If it means what
Germany interprets it to mean, then
every decent American ought to be
against it. The kind of freedom of the
seas upon which it is really vital to count
is freedom from murder International
law at present condemns exactly the kind
OF ml1rNor which
the case OF the Lusitania and in hun
dreds OF other cases and is still practis-
ing We ought to make her atone heavily
TOR such conduct and explicitly renounce
it before we ever discuss any other kind
Of freedom Of the seas.
Again, we ought to know just what the
President means by freedom of COM
merclal intercourse. If he means that
ne proposes to allow Germany to dump
her manufactures on us without restric-
tlon, we ought to be against it. We ought
TO INSIST on keeping in our hands the
complete right to handle our tariff as the
vital interests Of our own citizens, and es
peclally our own workingmen, demand.
again, "Hdl Is meant by the league
OF nations? If it means that GERMANY
Austria, Turkey and Russia, as at pres.
ent constituted, are to have the say as
to Americas future destiny we ought
to be against it. They would treat anv
agreement with US as a scrap of paper
wherever 1t suited their interests, and
we ought to realize this fact. Moreover
we already belong to de facto league
of nations which is a growing concern
Let us stand by our allies before enter
ing into a league with our enemies
Therefore, let us at once declare war on
Turkey. Any such league is of value
only II all its members are willing to
make war on the same offenders, and the
culpabe failure of our government to
make war on Turkey and Bulgaria makes

Hate

secretary Lansing DcSpeakS 1Or CNe
enemy justice that shall not be without
mercy. After the war has been won, he
says, we should cherish no pitiless hatred
for all those who have served the mill
tary dictators of the Central Powers. In
stead, Eve should discriminate between
the ignorant and the intelligent, between
the responsible and irresponsible, be-
tween the master and the serf."
Therein he distinguishes, as our gov
ernment for long has been inclined to do,
between the German people and their
rulers. His words imply that the peo-
,e themselves are irresponsible. Only
he rulers are responsible. He tells us
what we should do with the irrespon-
sible We should treat them mercifully
and forbear to hate them. He gives us
no formula by which we may do this and
at the same time protect ourselves from
their criminal responsibility.
And he omits to tell US what we should
do with the rulers who are responsible.
Apparently we shall be allowed to hate
them. But may we hang them? Or shall
we only refuse to transact with them the
business of peace and leave the rest to
all those irresponsibles who have served
them? He does not tell US. He goes only
so far as to say that the "authors of the
frightful wrongs that have been COM
mitted against humanity should not be
forgotten"
Empty injunction! How can we forget
them?
If Mr.. Lansing is right we should stop
calling the Germans collectively Huns.
We should, perhaps, substitute the word
Hohenzollerns.
If Mr.. Lansing is right we should tear
down all those Liberty Loan posters
which portray the manner in which the
German people make war.
If Mr.. Lansing is right we shall have
to reserve judgment on the U-boat COM
mander who sank the Lusitania, on the
murderer of Edith Cavell, on the execu-
TONERS Of Belgium and on all who have
perpetrated German denominations of
frightfulness, until we can determine
whether they were morally responsible.
1t is not for us to distinguish between
the German people and their rulers The
burden of proof is upon them. If the
people are better than their rulers let
them destroy the monstrous Hohenzol-
lern dynasty with their own hands, by
self-seeing moral impulse. Let them dis
own the war that has been made in their
name and beg the world to forgive them
for participating in it's atrocities. Then
we may begin to distinguish.
But there is no symptom of such an
awakening on the part Of the German
people. There is not the slightest evi-
dence that they are even remotely aware
of any obligation to disavow the conduct
of their rulers for moral reasons.
The quarrel now going on between the
responsible and the irresponsible" is of
very different character. What the
people complain Of is that the Hohenzol-
lerns have lost the war. For that reason,
and for that one only, the people are
turning upon their war lords.
The crime against the world was a
German crime.
The guilt is German guilt.
The atonement shall be German also
1t is written, "Ye that love the Lord
hate evil"
We hate the Huns as such.

For This?

To the Presidents inquiry" the
Imperial German Government has
returned the dreaded answer.
1t pretends to speak for the
German people, and perhaps, in
fact, it does. Only outside of
Germany has there been any senti-
mental distinction between the
Huns who rule and the Huns who
serve.
1t pretends wholly to accept
President Wilson's conditions of
peace, leaving merely the practical
details of their application to be
arranged.
And it consents to eyacuate
all occupied territory, expecting
thereby to obhge the American
government to recommend an
armistice to it's "associates in this
war
Apparently, therefore, we are
about to be involved in definitions
with those of whom President
Wilson himself has said: eve do
do not think the same thoughts or
speak the same language of agree
ment~'
The Imperial German govern
ment says it accepts President Will
sons conditions. But what are
those conditions? Wherein we
accept them the Germans cannot
understand them; wherein they
satisfy the Germans they are un-
acceptable to us.
Take the Fourteen Points" If
the Germans can accept them
wholly we cannot, except with def
nitions which satisfy us. Therein
the President holds for freedom Of
the seas and for removing all eco
nomic barriers. The Germans may
construe that as a guarantee of
full and unconditional restoration
to rights Of trade and access as
before TO the seven seas, all strewn
with the consequences of their das-
tardly inhumanity. But the Amer
ican people Will not.
In the same speech the President
said: Neither do we presume to
suggest to her LGermany1 any al
teration or modification of her in
situtions-' Germans may con-
strue that az the saving Of the Ho-
henzollerns. But the American
people win not
