REPORT AS To
TRIP ABROAD

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Newton
d. Baker, secretary of war, laid his
European observations before PresI-
dent Wilson today. While the meat
of this report has not been given out
for publication yet, the secretary told
newspaper men that he found that
the American soldiers had made good
in France. He said that the big
thing for America today is to support
the war, to support it financially, phys
ically and morally.
"The right arm of America is in
France" he said, "and the body of the
nation is here. 1t, therefore, is neces-
sary to see that the body supports
properly its strong member in which
we are placing all our hopes"
In his interview with representa-
tiyes of the press the secretary did
not attempt to minimize the serious
ness of the situation on the western
front at this time. although he was
optimistic as to the final outcome.

FRANCE, April 18.-Commanders OF
the American units which participated
in several days fighting last week
aiding the French in the Apremont
wood sector, are finding it difficult
to pick out the men who especially
DISTINGUISHED themselves. One COM
mander said that every man under
him acted the nero. No man was
found wanting. Every one of them
did all that was expected and more.
From all commanders general head
quarters have received reports that
the men are eager to get into the ac'
tual struggle, to hurry along the day
of the downfall of the kaiser, regard
less of personal consequence. And
some of the commanders say 1t would
be an injustice to all the men if they
even attempted to pick any and say
that they had distinguished them
selves more than others.

Who Were Expounding

New York.--Hundreds of soldiers,
sailors and marines broke through
Gordon of police surrounding Madison
Square Monday night and attacked in
tetrnational socialists who had attend
ed a mass meeting where Bolshevik
doctrines We're expounded. The men
and women leaving the hall broke and
fled as the men in uniform charged
past the police, but were pursued into
the side streets in all directions.
The attack on the socialists came
at the close of meeting which threat
ened from the moment it began to
break into a riot. 1t was called os-
tensibly to protest against the execu-
tion of Thomas j. Mooney, but Scott
Nearing, who presided, and the other
speakers devoted most of their atten-
ton to pleas for the release of "polit-
ical" offenders.
Several men and women were arrest
ed for displaying red flags Struggled
into the Garden in defiance of an edict
by Mayor Hylan. Large numbers of
men In uniform entered the building
before the doors were locked with the
avowed determination of preventing at
tacks upon the government. They
were restrained with difficulty by po-
lice and detectives from making an as
suit on the stage. Scores of fist fights
were interrupted by officers.
Soldiers, sailors and marines then
gathered and, breaking through the
police guard, drove the socialists from
the meeting place.
Mounted police, REINFORCED by auto
mobile loads of reserves, rushed from
every station house within a radius
of miles, struggled valiantly to clear
the Square, but made little progress.
Soldiers and sailors, thoroughly an
gered by what they considered an in
sidious attack on the flag they had
sworn to defend, paid little attention
to blows from night sticks. They were
bent on getting revenge from the in
ternationalists, and many of them sue
ceeded.

PASS SUMMER IN TEMPLES

sTemple parties" constitute a popu-
lar form of diversion for the summer
months In Picking. The hills to the

temples-rambllng compounds of one
story buildings built centuries ago by
emperors In memory of departed an

century-old trees. In the temple proper
Is still to be found gigantic "Buddha"
or idol before whom joss-sticks are
lighted at intervals by priests and
acolytes, of whom there are generally
b half dozen all told, occupying a por-
ton Of the compound.
1t Is quite easy and inexpensive to
secure the use of one of these temples
--one or more Of the unoccupied sub
sidiary buildings-for a weekend,
week or the whole summer They are
entirely without furniture except inso-
far as a raised platform wherein the
Chinese used to sleep might be called
furniture. Once installed the occupant
enjoys absolute peace and quiet by day.
As rule he sleeps in the company Of
Dne Of the lesser "Buddhas,' who is
hidden behind a curtain. The only
intrusion upon his privacy occurs when
the priest or acolyte brings food and
places 1t before the idol and returns
later to remove what the rats have
left of 1t.
A number of the oldtimers In Picking
have their temple leased year after
year and pass the summer there. For
the novice. owing to the general lack
of everything that makes for comfort,
once is enough. 1t is thing, however.
that everybody must do once.

CRITICISM MUST BE KINDLY
Nothing Good Can Come Of Method
Which Does Not "Speak the
Truth In Love-"

There is the story Of contentious
man who said to his pastor. 81 can
not preach or pray or sing. but
can raise objections" Such men are
not rare. There is one. at least, In
almost every church, club, lodge or
society of whatever kind. The critic
is ever with us. And, candidly, we
need him. We cannot do our best
work without him. He Is like the
brake In the mechanism of a motor
car. He holds us back when we
would go too fast. If at times he
delays our progress, he is necessary
to our safety. His conservatism
counteracts the possible evils of rad
icalism. Much might be said for the
economy of criticism.
But the method of criticism is also
important. The brake should work
smoothly. The critic need not de-
stroy the organism he proposes to
reform. Often the effect of his criti-
cism is wholly destructive. Sometimes
his methods remind us of the man WHO
set fire to barn to rid 1t of rats. A
sensitive spirit who had been harshly
treated by critic retorted, 81 know
there Is a cinder in my eye. bat you
can't remove 1t with crowbar."
The apostolic injunction. speaking
the truth in love-" gives the critic a
safe rule of action. No truth, however
severe. is unwelcome. II it be spoken
