Enemies Immune

Enemy alien women, some OF whom are
more dangerous than men, have been
brought under the provisions of the
espionage act. They will be required to
register. But will they do it? Enemy
alien men are required to register, yet
it is notorious that thousands Of them
are at large, unregistered, with uninter-
rupted freedom to come and go when, if
and as they like.
1t is said that decree will issue bar
ring enemy alien women from docks and
arsenals and other war zones. But as
conditions now are that would be only to
augment thes shrieking absurdity Of hav-
ing barred zones from which enemy
aliens are excluded, while thousands
of unidentified, indistinguishable enemy
aliens are moving everywhere with i'm
punity.
A newspaper would not dare publish
the military information which lies open
to enemy aliens travelling on the ferry
boats of New York Harbor. They are
expressly permitted to travel on ferry
boats.
The handling of the enemy alien prob
lem is becoming national scandal.
Germany is continually receiving the
most accurate and definite information
about our military activities. Some of
it she publishes in her own newspapers.
Its correctness is amazing.
Only by complete police registration
of all adult persons in the country, citi-
zens and aliens alike, can the enemy
aliens be identified, and then only by in
-terning them will safety be made sure of.
The Attorney General thinks the en-
emy alien menace is exaggerated. That
accounts for the governments indif-
ference.
Two objections are made to the thought
of interning the enemy aliens. One is
the cost. The other is that their labor
cannot be spared.
The cost does not matter. Ten spies
at large may do incalculable injury.
AS to the labor question, that objection
is so obviously invalid as to seem almost
pretext. Interned enemy aliens can be
made to work. They can be interned on
their jobs, as at the mines. Their pro-
ductivity may be actually increased at
a military wage.
This vital matter is rapidly passing
beyond the line of discussion. There is
danger of an explosion that will wreck
the fatuous equanimity of the Depart
ment Of Justice.
New-York tribune., 1918-04-21

and editors-sly dogs, too. From the
chief morning journal in the pretty vii
lage, more famous as Sing Sing than as
Ossining, they quote, in a separate col
umn powerful leader bearing the title
of: ga Champion of the People Always
Target of Abuse"
The champion of the people, Of course,
is the younger son of the late Baron
Hearst, of the Plutocracy The interest
Of this notable utterance of "The Ossi-
ming Sentinel" is reproduction of some
rather fulsome adulation of the Kaiser
by Nicholas Murray Butler, Colonel
Roosevelt and ex-President Taft.
You see how clever it is Ii the
Kaiser's American champion were to
print these now ancient and deeply re-
GREETED utterances, over his own name,
the intent might be little too obvious,
and Mr.. Hearst might be again de-
nounced as the paid agent of the Ger
man propaganda in America for the un-
dermining of our support of our allies.
So he instructs the classics loving lick
spittle who writes his editorials to print
the fulsome stuff about Marius, Mira
beau and Willie Hearst in one column
and the powerful leader from "The
Ossining Sentinel" in another-leaving
the intelligent consumers of this poison
gas to make the connection in their not
overly burdened minds
that Hearst is being attacked as the
Kaiser's friend in America, and as the
most insidious foe of Americanism, be-
cause he is, like Marius and Mirabeau,
the foe Of Plutocracy.
No Hearst editor has yet found
plausible way to argue that Great
Britain, France and Canada bar Hearst
correspondents and Hearst newspapers
for plutocratic reasons.

When Is a Battle Lost?

"A battle lost is battle which one
believes to be lost, for battles are not lost
materially" SO wrote one Frenc}n1an
Joseph de Maistre, a century ago. And
1t is interesting to find that a century
later another Frenchman, General Foch.
was 1ond OF quoting it to his classes
IN strategy and tactics at the Ecole de
Guerre. He would add: "Battles are
therefore lost morally, and it is therefore
morally that they can be won"
The phrases about the industrializa4
ton of war have somewhat obscured this
truth. We have become educated to tho
notion that war is to-day more a oues
ton of efficient factory management
than OF human beings. But no efficient
factory management is worth it's keen
that does not build on and around the
human factor. Executive brains are
important; so is system important. But
both must work through human nature,
and II they forget human nature thew
1all mlserably. Mr.. Schwab's story of
how he got results from steel plant bv
chalklng figure on the floor to record
the days run is a homely illustration
of just this fact.
SO the ultimate factor on the fields of
France is the fighting man, his courage.
his will to fight, his spirit and doggcd
persistence in that last quarter of an
hour that sooner or later must come
The genius Of a Foch can help; the in
dustrial organization behind the line can
help. But at the last it is the soldiers
who will win or lose.
1t is good to know that the mind of
toch is mind trained to this view-the
mind of a leader of men as we'll as of the
strategist, the mathematician. II is in
spring to sec and feel in the whole
French people the living embodiment of
this truth. The Marne stands and will
always stand as the most glorious exam
pie OF moral triumph over a material
enemy that the world has ever seen
May we never forget it's inspiration!

A Week of Verse
The Soul Of a Nation -

(Frons Punch
TNHE little things of which we lately
chattered-
The dearth of taxis or the dawn Of
spring;
Themes we discussed as though they really
mattered,
Like rationed meat or raiders on the
wing.
How thin it seems to-day, this vacant
prattle,
Drowned by the thunder rolling in the
West,
Voice of the great arbitrament of battle
That puts our temper to the final test
Thther our eyes are turned, our hearts are
straining,
Where those we love, whose courage
laughs at fear,
Amid the storm Of steel around them rain
ing,
dear.
Newborn Of this supremest hour of trial,
In quiet confidence shall be our strength,
Fixed on faith that will not take denial
Nor doubt that We have found our soul
-, at length.
O England, stanch of nerve and strong of
sinew,
Best when you face the odds and stand
ct bay!
Now show a watching world what stuff is
in you
Now make your soldiers proud of you
to-day!

With an Everlasting Love

tFrom The Netu Witucss)
The love Of God for me began
Long before l became a man:
before my lips could speak His name,
Before from out the dark came!
Within His mansions l was known
Before He made cross His Throne,
When not seer with Him had talked,
Where with Him not saint had walked,
Where melt in clouds mans hidden wavs.
Deep in tho dim eternal days,
His eyes across times troubled sea-
Went peering forth in search of me

Achievement, Recognition, Praise

Mr.. Charles M. Schwab is a favored
son of fortune. Upon him the gifts of
achievement have been doubly showered
He is now enormously rich; like most of
our millionaires and captains of indus
try, he began at the very bottom of the
line, nothing but his own energy and
drive to send him to the top. At thirty
nine he was at the head of the greatest
corporate business ever formed. This
vast enterprise was due largely to his
vision and energy And time has amply
verified his foresight.
Retiring from this, he undertakes the
building up of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany; he makes it the greatest steel and
munitions plant in the world, SURPRISING
now even the great Krupps'. One would
think this was sufficient achievement for
one man.
Yet we venture to say that no episode
IN all his unusually successful career has
Drought him more genuine pleasure than
now to be called by President Wilson to
become the head of the shipbuildinp
work. Why! Because it is RECOGNITION
and applause for the work he has done.
And this is the native meat which the
human ego Graves and needs.

The Arrival of Woman

Our first woman conductor on the Amster-
dam Avenue line pleased the women i'm
mensely. They talked about her for days, and
so when elevator women began to take the
wheel in the apartment buildings they re-
ceived the warmest welcome. They are a
spoiled lot out here, where we make cook
les for them, and take up collections for
sweaters for their cold days, where we pat
'em on the back and beam upon them. no
matter what kind of service they give. For
though ours is village and we arc simple
folk we do have our feministic tendencies.
and elevator women meet our hearty an
proval.
Once in while, before the war, one used
to rush home for dinner, dress and rush
back downtown, to the theatre, the opera.
or even into Brooklyn to party But
what chance is there now for such ambi-
tons? For one mother started the ball bv
giving card party in her dining room and
living room, the proceeds to 60 for free
wool for the knitters of the community.
And now such series of events! Some of
the husbands are working nights to "avoid
the draft" they call it, of the Red Cross
hostesses. Sunday night suppcrs every
week, "silver teas" spelling bees-all the
small town social stunts rejuvenated to
fill the ever-empty shelves with wool. to
buy knitting machines, to send comfort
kits.
We feel that we have a special connec-
tion with the war out here, because ours is
centre for soldiers and sailors. The BOYS

MorningsideVllage and War
By Sarah Addington

MT is probably because Columbia Univer-
a slty IS set on the top of Morningside
Helghts that the university section
mas drawn away from the miscellaneous
and diversified interests of New York City
as a whole and gathered itself into
nelghborhood, closely knit and isolated as
the smallest village in Indiana We have
our own life out here in the short span
between the Hudson River and the cliffs
Of Morningside Park, our own churches
shops, intellectual life (through the me-
dlum OF the university, and now our own
way of attacking the war; For, of course.
we can't jaunt way down to Carnegie Hall
Tor patriotic mass meetings every night, or
tralpse vast distances TO the vaster model
Red Cross rooms Ours are housekeeping
hearts and average legs, and so we have
brought the war to our own doorsteps and
made 1t a part of our own small lives
1T was the attell-Parker- Phillips scandal
that played the first large part in our local
life. For those draft evaders we're shame
on our neighborhood, and we all went
around with shocked faces as the headlines
told every morning what our young
neighbors were doing. By this time we
had started our Red Cross work, first in
Mrs. Young's "front parlor," and the won-
en- would knit and roll dressings until their
hands ached, talking the while about the
draft-and the scandal. They wanted to
spank the silly children, they said; they
knew that the three were just absurd
youngsters glorying in rebellion and pub
licity, and yet they couldn't shake off the
humiliation that their beloved little strip
of city should furnish such un-American
specimens. But gradually, as the service
flags began to sprinkle the windows, and
the pledge cards and Tribune bond posters
appeared everywhere, pride came back, and
Morningside held up it's head again.
