TRUE CITIZENSHIP

Much as we dislike to admit II, there
still exists a distinct apathy toward
the war on the part of a great many
people In various parts of the country.
The reason for this is even deeper than
constitutional pacifism or pro-Ger-
manism based upon explainable blood
or mental association. The fact IL,
although We did not realize II until
recently, the average citizen Of this
country has not had instilled in him
real responsibility In and to his gov
eminent. The extreme development of
the democratic idea In America and
the ultra-political nature of our form
OF government has resulted In the al
most total disappearance of the appre-
citation by the individual of what the
government means to him.
The changing of this condition 10
possibly the most serious problem fac
ing the United States today, outside
of winning the war. It involves a COM
plete readjustment and revitalizing Of
work must start in the schools Of the
lowest grade. Many men who have
had the advantage Of collegiate in
struction in political economy, and
even the influence of the discussion Of
these matters in high school debating
societies, appreciate the problem. 1t
must be remembered, however, that
by far the greater majority of boys
who later make up the citizenry Of the
nation leave school after passing
through only the most elementary
grades.
The National Security League, Or
ganized at the start Of the war as
preparedness proganda and now devot-
ing its entire efforts to the awakening
Of the people to a realization Of the
meanings of the war and the menace
OF defeat, has undertaken a nation
wide campaign on this question of true
citizenship which Is worthy of atten-
ton and support 1t has enlisted the
cooperation Of state, county and city
superintendent Of schools In all parts
Of the country to make daily instruc-
ton on the war part of actual school
tuition. The league has also obtained
the release to 1t on full pay by the
Boards of Trustees Of a number Of the
largest colleges and universities In the
country Of a corps of professors who
are to constitute National Patriotic
Education Faculty" to carry on this
work in the broader field. These men
will create a sort Of peripatetic uni
versity, journeying personally into all
parts Of the country to spread this
thought of the necessity Of awakening
the citizenship Of the country to re-
sponsibility in its government. More
power to the National Security League
and may the nation quickly realize the
importance of its work.

EDITORIAL.
NEED FOR FIRING SQUAD.

II must have occurred to q great
many people, In reading the newspaper
accounts of the lenient methods adopt
ed by the government authorities In
dealing with the spy question, that the
plying Of this trade by a German or
German sympathizer is far safer than
service In the army of the Kaiser.
The most serious penalty imposed
so far has been against an officer of
the United States army who vOlun-
tarily announced that he could not do
justice TO himself or his men in lead
ing them against his relatives and
friends fighting on the German side.
A man who is convicted of being a
leader in the spy plots against Ameri-
can lives and property is given
prison sentence less than that usually
meted out to an embeZzling clerk.
Other men, engaged in subterranean
efforts which might result in the kill
ing of more American boys than could
be accomplished by an entire German
regiment, are pleasantly interned in
quarters where they are provided with
creature comforts unknown TO the
young men who are uphOldlng the
Stars and Stripes in No Mans Land.
The reason for this state of affairs
is hard TO appreciate. The country Is
at war and war is not "civil" matter
A man who conspires to place a bomb
In an American troop-ship or a vessel
CARRYING much needed supplies to our
allies is warning against this country
as much (even more, we believe) as
the private or officer in the German
ranks who is exposed to American
bullets. Why, then, should we treat
these vipers as offenders against the
civil law2 Let's order out the firing

JUNGLE LAW.

Contributed by ROBERT HER
RICK to the National Security
Leagues campaign of Patriotism
Through Education.)
Returning from Europe, cursed with
war, / was more convinced than Of
anything else In life that what is be-
Ing slowly settled in that grim trench
land over there DOES mean some
thing to us-more, oh, 50 much more,
than money or legal rights or SYM
pathy for bleeding humanity. Not
that / am especially apprehensive Of a
raid on these United States, the crum-
bling Of our skyscrapers, with the ex-
action Of colossal indemnities. That,
too, Of course, might happen II Ger
man arms were triumphant, II the
pax Germanlca were imposed upon q
beaten world.
But that is not to me the worst. To
me the German peril does not lie 90
much In her big guns, her submarines,
her "Prussianized war machine" Il
lies In herself, In her image of the
world. II Germany could win even q
partial victory under her monstrous
creed Of applied materialism, illuminat-
ed as 1t has been by every sort Of Gym
zeal crime, with its reasoned defiance
Of contract, Its principle of 'indispensa-
BILE seventies" its military logic, etc,
THAT must become the moral law Of
all the world-the jungle lawl In or
der to survive we must all accept this
law Of the jungle. And of all the
PROSTATE peoples Of the world forced
to accept the victor's new version Of
the ancient commandments proud
America would be the first We can
not resist the fascination Of success.
So the German ideal, the German
tyranny over the individual, the Ger
man morality-one rule for you and
me as individuals and another utterly
irresponsible rule when we get togeth-
er as a state-would be initiated by
us more than the German thorough
ness In civil and military organization.

Standards Of Doctrine.

The Apostles and the Nicene Greed,
and the Thirty-nine Articles are the
standards of doctrine in both the Eng
fish and American branches Of the
Episcopal church. The American
church omits the Athanasian Greed,
which the English church retains, and
has made some alterations in the Thir-
ty-nine Articles, emitting Article 81.
The church acknowledges two sacra-
ments, baptism and the Lords Supper
as generally necessary to salvation,
practices infant baptism, admits no
one to communion until confirmed or
ready and DESTROYS to he confirmed.

listers who have received Episcopal
orders. and does not agree doctrinally
