Reporting the War.
(ChicagO NeWS)


With Vesuvius blowing its head off,
no ancient Pompeiian paused to write
a description of TIE spectacle. But
had there been a ffrst-class newspa-
per reporter on the job at the destruc-
ton of Pompeii, history and litera-
ture would have been enriched and
the world would honor him. Even as
matters stood, that star reporter, the
younger Pliny, writing at safe dis
lance. gave the world a priceless re-
port of the great disaster.
This war is, perhaps, the greatest
political event of history, and the re-
porters are in it and of it. They are
part of what they see. Posterity will
have them to thank for their vivid,
graphic, accurate descriptions Of the
volcanic passion and devotion, the
fiery furnace of tattle in which the
souls of men are being purified and
wrought into the stuff of future civil
cation.
This is not comment on the war,
per Sc; it is an appreciation of report
ers - narrow-shOUldere asf1gmatc
men, some OF them, whom the war
would not have as fighters yet who
were determined to see and describe
the heroic deeds they were forbid
den to participate in.

Conserve the Turkeys.
est. Louis Republic)

No recommendations made by the
Food Administration will be accepted
by the general public with greater
equanimity than the one which asks
everybody to refrain from eating
broiled turkey. Turkey in the broi-
ling sizes Is a luxury, anyway en-
ioyed mostly by people who give more
in tips than the average man spends
for a meal, and even those who eat
them that way have their compensa-
ton.
All signs point to period in the
early weeks of November when every
body will wish tc give thanks in the
true American manner, and that can
not be done without turkey. There
should be no excuse this year for the
usual November announcement that
turkeys will be scarce and high There
must be enough turkey to furnish
forth a celebration of a years sue
cessful campaigning against the Hun,

Infant Son of Private Yanan, Born
Since Father Went Abroad,
Passes Away.

Since Joseph Yanan has been with

France a child was born to his wife.
The child died last night at the Baby
hospital in Hartford This is the sec
ond instance that has occurred where
a child has been born while the father
has been fighting the Huns and has
died without the father having seen
his offspring. Private Yanan was one
of the draftees taken early in the call
for troops.
Baby John Yanan was born on July

attending physician arranged through

The German Vision.
New Haven Journal-Courter1

(New Haven Journa1-Courier)
The Germans have fee$ of clay,
hearts Of stone. BY all the rules of
preparation and scientific foresight
they should be invincible. They have
known better than any of their cons
temporaries how to prepare for war.
They have made use of the cradle and
they have made use of the grave as
object lessons reinforcing the deknn-
able doctrine that might makes right.
Not single instrUmentallty between
the beginning and ending of life has
been overlooked to justify this view
Of victorious life. Not a child has
come to manhood who was not a soI<
der; not a man has been buried who
was not a soldier. 1t has been the
part of women to bear children Whd
should become soldiers aud to bury
husbands who have been soldiersI
That is the sum and total Of the GER
man vision.

q change of position by the "demand'
of the Democratic conference at Sar-
atoga that 1.-THE United States sena-
tors from New York represent their
constituents by voting for the pro

is facing a somewhat difficult politi-

puts forth the opinion that the ma
jority of New York men and women
demand Senator WadswOrths support
of the suffrage amendment no matter
what his personal views may be- AS
a mere matter of fact that may be
true now that the Republican State
conference has emphatically urged
him to vote for the amendment, while
the Democratic State conference has
"demanded' that he vote for it. Mr.
Wadsworth confronts an old problem
of the legislator. Is he under any
obligation to vote contrary to his
personal convictions when the ma
! iority Of the people he represents
hold contrary convictions? Since the
beginning of representative govern
ment honorable legislators have an
swered this question both ways.

gate demand for unskilled labor in
war work has been found, each state
will be assigned a quota representing
the common labor to be drawn from
among men engaged in non essential
industries in that state. These state
quotas will, in turn, be distributed
among localities. Within each locality
employers in non-War work, including
those who are only partly in war
work, Will be asked to distribute
the local quotas from time to time
among themselves. This plan of la
Dor quotas is designed by the Depart
ment of Labor as a protection for all
communities. The object is to keep
any community from being drained of
labor, and to use local supply as far
as possible for local demands. The
situation, however, is such that, in
certain cases, some men may have to
be transported over long distances.
At the same time, however, the De-
partment of Labor has plans in opera
ton which will see to it that housing
facilities are adequate before labor
thus recruited is shifted into any
community

rector General of the United States

the Governments new program. Mr.
Densmore says:
You will note that this is proba bly,
the most drastic action that the Gov
eminent has taken since putting the
national army draft into effect The
absolute necessity for this program
can be seen when it is realized that
in Pittsburgh, for instance, there are
advertisements calling for men to go
to Detroit, while in Detroit, street cars
bear posters asking men to go to Pitts
burgh. This same condition is ap-
parent all over the United States, and
in the consequent shifting of labor
the great part Of our war effort is dis
sipated." Representatives of labor
and the term labor, is used in it's
brOadeSt sense-aS we'll as representa-
tives Of employers, have joined in
calling upon Workmen and employer
alike to accept this new Government

how the Judge and other officials

too small in the first place, horribly
stuffy, poorly ventilated and so close

together with the constant din of
street traffic, make 1t most annoying

Count Luxburg, former German
minister to Argentina, of "spurlos
yersenkt'' notoriety, has arrived in
Germany. following his dismissal
from the South American country on
account of having violated the latters'
neutrality. It will be remem bered
that Luxburg not only abused the
good offices of Angelina and Sweden
by sending MESA ges through those
countries to Berlin, in which he ad-
vised that all neutral steamships
should be sunk without q trace, but
he also referred to the Prime Minister
of Argentina in his dispatches as a
"consummate ass" and employed
other terms equally as insulting in
mentioning officials of the country to
which he was accredited. His actions
were unprecedented in history and
constitute the most fragrant violation
of the sovereignty of nations that has
come to light for generations. The
baseness of his crimes is better I'M
deretood when one stops to consider
that Luxburg, owing to the impossi-
bility of communicating with Berlin
direct was compelled to transmit his
messages through the Foreign Offices
at Buenos Ayres and Stockholm. Re
gardless of the courtesies thus eX-
tended him and his country by Ar
9entine and Sweden, this worthy dis
ciple of KuItur did not hesitate to
urge the pirates of the German navy
to destroy all ships of these very
countries which might cross the path
of the Kaisers submarines. His &C
tons were repudiated by his own gov
eminent, which fastened to offer an
abject apology to Argentina and Swe-
den, and he was Immediately recalled.
Now he has reached his native coun-
try and in his first public utterance he
has the audaCity to complain of the
search of his person and effects at
Halifax by British intelligence of
ficials. Luxburg, who urged the muir
der in cold blood Of neutral seamen,
and the destruction of their vessels,
" hines and scolds because he was not
received as a respectable. civilized dip
lomat and says that his treatment at
the hands of the British inspectors
was "a disgraceful breach of interna-
tional law!" Of all the brazen utter
ances of all the Kaiser's brazen and
hard-headed statesmen, this is un-
doubleday the worst There has been
