The Return of Mary" a five-reel
romantic drama with May Allison in
the leading role, is today's special
attraction at the Auditorium.
The story is that of a young girl

The life Of soldier fighting in his country s
service is snuffed out with hardly thought
given to the loss except by his family ana
friends. But arrest traitors and dlsloyal cltl
zens and Immediately men of the La Toilette
stamp rise up to protest against so insidious an
encroachment on free speech. This was shown
following the arrest Of officers of the National
league. It is time that little iron
should enter into the spirit OF the American
people. We have had too much nonsense and
too much siclly sentimentality. Traitors
should be exposed and handled without gloves,
and the senate of the United States in beginning
looking to the investigating OF
charges of disloyalty made against the Townley
has taken step that will lay open
the secret archives Of one of the most insidious
making for the overturning OF
American institutions and practices. The Nom
partisan league is in fact the American boil
sheviki, little stronger in mentality than the J.
w. W. but equally dangerous.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE.

It was inevitable that Great Britain should
feel disappointment over our failure to fulfill
what had been promised for us. It is rather re-
markable that so little of this disappointment
has colored public comment on the present situa-
ton Therefore it is meet that we accept with
mildness the really scathing comment pub
lished by Sir Sidney Low in the London Times.
Sir Sidney does it so nicely-nicely enough SO
it hurts. He writes not to condemn an ally who
is now disposed to rectify mistakes but simply
to warn Great Britain that she must depend on
herself for the present and not count on what
she has been told we should be able to do. He
expresses confidence that ultimately we will do
much of what have promised. In one point
Sir Sidney is utterly unfair: he takes ac-
count of the financial aid we have given; of
notifications in our industrial system made so
that the entente's war program has been pos
sible; Of the fact that we have troops in some
numbers and of the fine quality of those alread,
In battle.
But even with these injustices to take the
sting from what he says, Sir Sidney polite pes
simism over putting too much confidence in us
hurts because it is so uni Just to the temper and
ability of this people. What our producers have
had to do they have done; they would have
done much more except for interference by
executives and regulators who knew their bust
ness less well than the practical men on the
producing jobs. We have good sized army, in
tensively trained and in many details equipped
ready for service which we are prepared to put
into battle as rapidly as we can get them to the
front. We have seen the error of our ways in
many paths we are travelling and We are rectifv-
ing these errors. President Wilson is putting
men whom the nation trusts into control of
great constructive enterprises The president
still retains IN Important positions men whose
record does not inspire confidence But it is
hoped a process of elimination which now
seems to be in the working will soon weed out
these incompetents and that at no distant period
this country may have occasion to say s.Well
DONE

war positions in the departments
conducting the war and the purchas-
ing of the supplies and the building

sentiment, which would have believed
almost anything crooked against
these men, and now accepts them
gladly in the positions of Importance
and responsibility which they oc-

PHILADELPHIA's SHAME.

Philadelphia has reason to be ashamed. That
the federal COVE 1ment should take over the po-
lice department. Of a great city in order that the
regular functions of that department shall be
properly administered is unique in this nations
history Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly
Love, has allowed its police to permit vice to
run rampant and the federal authorities declare
that the city is menace to the thousands of
men in government service quartered within its
environs Philadelphia newspapers say it is the
fault of ''good citizens who hold aloof from
politics. Such state of affairs is not the fault
of good citizens, although it may be of people
who in motive and action are bla1neless of per-
sonal wrongdoing. But no body of good citi
zens would allow their city to become what
Philadelphia appears to be. The good people of
Philadelphia are not good citizens. It be-
hooves them to become such.

back pages and the reading matter
in the center. During recent years
magazines have begun arranging
their reading matter SO that It goes
into tbs advertising section. It will
easily be seen that the enforcement
of the law which makes distinction
between reading matter and advertis-
ing as to rates of postage will make
the operation of the regulation ex-
tremely difficult if not unavoidable.
Great agitation has been created,
especially by the magazines, for the
repeal or an amendment OF the law.
1t is hoped that congress will recon
slider the enactment to such an ex-
tent as to make the law understand
able at least.

THE SUPPLIES AT v1.AD1vosToK

It is a matter Of interest to know the history
of the supplies and munitions at Vladivostok
which the bolsheviki have ordered shipped to
European Russia Are these the munitions and
stores which this government and Japan have
furnished to Russia on credit! It seems alto
gether probable that they are. This govern
ment does not recognize the bolsheviki; 4 it made
loans to a Russian government it did recognize
and sent millions of dollars worth of war sup
plies Japan did the same thing The boil
sheviki have repudiated the national debt of
Russia; this means that they have repudiated
payment for the supplies they now propose to
have sent westward for their use. The worst
of it is that their use means Germany's use.
Lenine is a self-seeker first, theoretical anar-
chist next a German employee of the past and
probably of the present To allow him to take
a great store Of war materials out of Vladivos-
tok and dirvet them to employment against the
allies is for the allies to make war so softly as
to suggest futility.
Japan forsaw what would happen and she
wanted to intervene at Vladivostok in earnest
Great Britain and France and Italy desired to
see her act What the administration at Wash
ington desired isnot known except by rumors
printed in press; the British press indi-
Gated that this government was averse to
Japan S action On the basis of known facts
there is every reason why this nation should
desire to see Japan control Siberia against Ger
many's agents and no reason why this nation
should distrust Japan s keeping within policy
to which all her allies would subscribe It is to
be sincerely hoped that another example of the
technic Of delay, of laboring over scruples
which ignore facts, of wasting time and force
badly needed to win the war; is not to be prac-
tced and then the responsibility for the prac-
tice laid at our door.

WHAT MEN AT THE FRONT BE.
LiEVE.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Con
ingsby Dawson says that the men in
the trenches and battle lines would
go mad if they did not believe in i'm
mortality. He says that they must
believe in something more than the
physical bodies which they are will
ing to sacrifice in the war. What
would be the use OF dying so IT there
was not something more to hope fort
That, we believe, from what we have
read of the impressions Of men in
danger and in battles, is the almost
universal belief among them. But
from these readings we have also
gathered the idea that the men who
so believe are FESTIVE under the par
ticularized ideas of the sects. They
do not always take kindly to the sug-
gestions of the men who come to tell
them what they must do and what
they must believe to attain that i'm
mortality in which they believe and
for which they are hoping. The men
who are doing the supreme work,
making the supreme sacrifices, do not
feel in the mood of listening to by
SANDERS who come with this OF that
formula of salvation. To men with
such supreme things in their minds,
the formulas and the creeds and all
the prescriptions seem like petty
things, man made and man invented,
parts of systems which have been
set up.
According to men who write like
Coningsby Dawson there is a larger
and a deeper faith than that of the
creeds. What they believe exceeds
and transcends what men teach in
peaceful times. They have the vision
IN themselves and their truth is some
thing more than a creed.
