THE CALL OF THE PEOPLE

All Tear Without Waistcosts:

A proposal Of the National Associa-
ton Of Retail Clothiers to restrict,
during the war, mems outer garments
to two pieces, that is, to eliminate the
waistcoat, will be turned down de-
cisively. sternly, by gentlemen I'M
afraid Of their tailors. Two or three
months In the year the Unreasonable
inconvenience Of going about without
a waistcoat because the thermometer
makes clamor for less clothing is all
Of that man can endure.
Few men wear a waistcoat for or
nament: in peace and war 1t is an
essential garment; its utility gives 1t
its value. Deprived Of it in July and
August, man suffers the annoyance Of
carrying otherwise than in their &C.
customed places watch, pencil, foun-
tain pen, eyeglass case. cigars,
matches, cigar cutter, small change,
notebook, his wife's list Of articles
urgently needed, the theatre tickets
bought to square himself at home be-
cause he forgot to buy them, and varl-
GUS more or less valuable documents
such as the I o q he received after
the last jackpot was played. the broken
cuff link he means to have mended,
the button torn from his coat he in
tends to have replaced. the time ia
BILE of a railway on which he will
never travel.
To stow these manly essentials in
already overfilled pockets of coat and
trousers so adds to the toll of living
in the hottest months Of the year that
some drawer spirits suffer the lesser
evil Of wearing waistcoats. Some
prefer to die.

Senator Reeds Timely Warning.

Senator REED Of Missouri in a re-
cent speech in the Senate on the pro-
posed age changes for draft enrolment
drew attention to a certain looseness
Of expression regarding the enemy we
are fighting which is prevalent and
misleading. He said:
tho world conflict has been too much
regarded as one in which the civilized
world il arrayed against the single ma
ton OF Germany"
The error to which the Senator re-
fers is natural enough, but none the
less It is an error, and one suggest
Ing false deductions. It might even
be calculated to stir a wofully mis-
placed semi-sympathy among those
whose tendency to generous impulse
exceeds their mental grasp of the I'M
paralleled existing conditions.
That the civilized world is arrayed
against Germany alone is true In one
sense, and in one sense only. The
civilized world Is arrayed against
Germany alone in that on Germany,
and on Germany alone, rests the sole
criminal responsibility for the weller
Of slaughter and devasta ton through
which for over four years now mill
ions Of peaceable, innocent peoples
have been wading and of which the
end Is as yet not In sight.
Through decades Of teaching from
her seats of learning Of doctrines
adapted to standards Of ethics lower
than those Of the orang-outang, and
through accumulation of physical ma
terial and by the maturing Of me-
thodical, coldly calculated plans and
specifications, she made herself ready
at last for the career of murder, ar
son and pillage into which a suspi-
ciously timely double assassination
gave her the pretext for plunging.
The head and front Of this CHASTITY
infamy is Germany and Germany
alone, and Germany alone represents
the organized physical force which
made possible the onslaught in the
beginning and Is making its mainte-
nance possible in the present. Hence,
as the soul. the inspiration, the doml-
mating physical force of this hideous
conspiracy against all there Is among
mankind of graciousness and kindli-
ness and friendly good will, "the
great civilized world" as Senator

then KRAuss, erstwhile hero, be-
came an object Of detestation. I'm
able to punish their enemies. the en-
ragged Teutons turned on him and
christened him prince Of He'll"
Somewhat similar was the fate of
Major REDDEMAN, who must bear the
penalty for having made possible the
use Of flame throwers. He was a
great man In Germany as long as this
device was not turned against the
field grny ranks. Once It was, he
lost his popularity and loud cries Of
"Atrocity!" arose from anguished
Teutonic threats.
When Zeppelins bombed London
and Boche monster guns killed women
and children worshipping in Paris
church the Teuton at home consid-
cred 1t quite proper and commend
able. That was the good German
way Of waging war. Since then the
military situation has permitted the
rather frequent bombing Of several
cities along the Rhine by the Allied
aviators. Who now so stanch for
the strict observation Of the niceties
Of war, as prescribed by international
law, as the scared Inhabitants Of
those same cities7 One OF their Dep
uties has even brought the matter
before the ReIchstag In an endeavor
to have bombing of undefended cities
stopped by mutual agreement.
Some person who likes to dig
around the dusty roots Of things has
declared that the German is besot-
teddy selfish and biassed and lacking
In sense Of Justice because as child
he plays no games which have as
their basis fair play and good sports
manship. Whether this or something
more obscure Is the reason for It, the
Germans are showing themselves to
be bad losers as well as brutal win
ners. They don't like the taste Of
their own medicine. The sauce they
prepare for others Is unrelished by
themselves.

Such curiously perverse reasoning con-
tributed considerably to the prosper

menace and divsrtlng attention from
It's bloodstained record.
Against the doctrines and the pur.
poses Of this revolutionary brother
hood the labor unions have steadily
maintained an unbroken front. Trades
unionists have never been deceived as
to the character Of the Industrial
Workers Of the World. At times the
Industrial Workers Of the World
intruded themselves where disputes
were in progress, seeing opportunities
to advance their cause in the disorder
they might start or prolong. But the
trades unions have not welcomed these
visitations, ana on numerous occasions
have forcibly rid themselves Of their
unwanted volunteer assistants.
Riot. arson, murder, sabotage: these
have been the chief reliance Of the
Industrial Workers Of the World.

Unrelished Sauce.

There is a certain simple, rough
justice in any reversal of circum-
stances whereby the bitter is bitten.
This has always appealed to the
Anglo-Saxon mind, but not to the
Teuton. what's sauce for the goose
is distinctly not sauce for the gan
der, according to the German point of
view. AS evidence Of this there is
the tale told by Dutch chemist who
was In Germany during the period
when the German soldiers first used
poison gas and liquid FIRE.
When British and Canadian SOL
diers were overcome by the diaboli-
cal gas Germany went wild with Joy.
Herr Professor KRAuss, who devised
this efficient method Of propagatins
Kultur, could 60 nowhere without re-
ceiving the plaudits of the enthusi-
astic throngs. He was popular hero.
Unfortunately for him the wind was
not always right, and presently Ger

Overhead Fans Would Make Long

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The

mention OF the lack of overhead fans
IN the new stations, This was one OF
the deficiencies OF the old system and
the public had hoped that the engineers
would learn from experience, and in
drawing plans for stations on the new
system would arrange for the installa-
ton of overhead fans.
There Is no need OF dilating on the
torrid conditions of the subway in the
summer. 1t Is an old complaint which
tenn was first opened. But it seemed
to many that conditions could be i'm
proved immensely by the installation
in the stations of fans of sufficient power
to keep the air in circulation, 1t Is
the lack of circulation which makes the
temperature so high in the stations and
results In making 30 many persons I'M

tubes furnish the only artificial method
Of keeping the air in motion. and those
who use the subway In the summer will
bear witness that this method Is not

before the commission that the humid

The Military Usefulness Of Leonard
Wood

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir. In
the event that the Joint Intervention
in Siberia should assume due proper
tons. is it permissible to express the
hope that General Leonard Wood be
appointed commander of the American
forces In Siberia?
Possibly the Creel of the Bureau of
Information may disclose the fact that
General Wood was tmpounded for this
service.
At least In this period OF politics
formally laid aside. what appears to
be a patent injustice to distinguished
officer should be recuhed or explana-
ton accorded TO the public in justifca-
ton OF the conduct OF the War De-
partment in this instance.
What was the offence that has en-
tailed such severe humiliation? Is il
not time that the Administration should

cause? EDWARD S. FIELD.

Checkm ating Satan.

II the sociological gentry are to be
believed 1t Is just as true now as
It. ever was that Satan finds some
evil for idle hands to do. But Satan
is not to have any opportunity this
>ummer to entice the children Of this
city, for the public Fairgrounds un-
der the Jurisdiction Of the Board of
Education, which were to have been
closed this week. will be kept open
until the end Of this month by means
Of a special appropriation just made.
Since the schools will open immedi-
ately after Labor Day this extension
Of playground activities will keep
them open practically through the
vacation period-thus checkmating
Old Nick by giving the children some
thing to do.
Keeping children occupied and out
Of mischief at any ordinary time is
hard enough. In a war year 1t is
even more difficult, and more essen
tial. Male heads Of many families
are away, in military service. Moth
ers have found It necessary to 60 to
work. For city children under those
conditions the street becomes the
playground, II no other Is available;
discipline goes to the winds and the
harum scarum boy may easily degen-.
crate into an offender against the
laws he does not understand.
1t was for that reason that Mayor
HYLAN considered the keeping open
Of the public Fairgrounds so impor-
tant that he wrote to President SOM
ERs of the Board Of Education: "If
1t is impossible to get others to keep
them open 7 will ask the Police Com
missioner to assign police officers to
these Fairgrounds to see that they
are kept open for the benefit Of the
children this summer" Juvenile de-
linquency has not Increased here
since the war began; the authorities
wisely decide to use every means to
prevent 1t from increasing.
The clty's public Fairgrounds fur
nish opportunity for wholesome play.
The boys have their gangs. but the
gang activities are beneficial. not
harmful. The spirit Of the games and
athletics produces discipline self
discipline made necessary to pre-
serve the fair psay which good sports
manship demands. The children are
too busy to get into mischief and
Satan Is out Of a job.
