that the Supreme Allied War Council
should reach conclusion of it's own, and
that the American government should
then take that conclusion under consd-
Grafton in making up it's mind. Prop
erly, there should be an Allied conference
on action in Russia, with unlimited power
of decision It's task should be to find
the highest common denomination of all
conflicting views and announce the result
as policy to be pursued with one mind
and with the full strength of a united
purpose.
Such a conference need not consume
much time. 1t could be called in
an houf at Washington. Lord Reading
has the power to act for Great Britain;
he knows the wishes of France and
Italy.
This is the principle now recog-
nized in the sphere of military action.
1t must be applied also in the sphere of
political action if Germany is ever to
be recontined in the East.

The Only Waste

He was this great city's leader through
out the early years of the war. The
pioneer work which he did for the prin-
ciple of a selective draft, for all the prin-
clples of the war and our duty in it,
comes back now with all the spirit of
prophecy. In word and deed he was the
deal captain of a people war bound soon
to march. And he was voted down and
under!
That was sheer and wanton waste.
But of that death from Louisiana sky
what a difference, surely? There is loss.
immense and narrowing, but is it not al
ready disappearing in yield of gain?
Who does not already feel the product of
this one sacrifice?
Spend and be spent is the only motto
in a world where unless we create hourly
there is only death SO lived John Purroy
Mitchell and SO dying he passed on life
to us all, new resolve, fresh devotion.
Who can see death in such victory!

"Thousands of Bombing PLANES"


At the launching of the huge Hand
leyPage bombing plane, built at Eliza
beth, N. j., Mr.. John D. Ryan, the new
head Of the Aircraft Production Board,
made this terse observation:
81 am glad to say that thousands
just like this one (the Handley-Page)
one of the most powerful ever
bult--are under construction, all to
be driven by the Liberty motor, the
best and most powerful aeronauticaI
engine ever built"
This new machine is equipped with
two Liberty motors, developing to-
gether over 500 horsepower. 1t is a
companion to the type of machine that
last fall, under the guidance of an
American pilot in England carried
total of twenty-one passengers to
height of 1000 feet. 1t will be able to
carry, besides two pilots and perhaps
two gunners, matter of ton and Il
half to two tons of explosives
Note that Mr. Ryan says that Chou
sands of planes" like this are being
built. The new head Of the air board
has been notably reticent in any ex-
preston of opinion since he took Office.
Mr.. David Lawrence, the correspondent
of "The Evening Post" observes that
Mr.. Ryan has for three months refused
to say g word as to the work or plans
of his department.
He made thorough study, how
ever, of the happenings prior to his
own appointment, and satisfied him
self as to the truth or falsity of the
public criticism. What Mr.. Ryan says
when he speaks thus is in sense
judicial, and on his statements the
country can base its judgment about
the status of the programme to-day
and the outlook for the future
Obviously, Mr.. Ryan would have no
wish to prejudice the report of ex-,Jus-
tlceSHughes on the work of the aircraft
board, which is now in preparation 1t
is significant that he gives his unquali-
fed Endorsement to the Liberty motor
as 'the best and most powerful aero
nautical engine ever built" In this he
but repeats what he said the other day
at Detroit.
We apprehend that the day is not
distant when the achievements of the
aircraft board, SO scandalously maligned,
will come to rank with the shipbulding
work as perhaps Americas greatest con-
tribution to the war. 1t is evident enough
that only an intensive and splendid work
could, after a single year, make posi-
BILE quantity production of the best and
most powerful aeronautical engine ever
built

Insulting An Ally
o the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Last Sunday when a crowd of people
were going to the 10 O'Clock mass at St.
Patrick's Cathedral an Irish woman stood
just outside the entrance distributing leaf
lets full of insults to England. Not salts
fed with that, she was abusive to those who
demonstrated and declared that hers was
a dirty kind of work. Of course no police
man was to be found to put stop to this
woman's activities.
| want to know why any person may
publicly shout every kind of insult against
our faithful, brave, Incompatible ally. /
want to know why such propaganda is per-
mitted at the very entrance to the house of
God.
Among the American soldiers abroad,
fighting for the same cause as the English,
are many lads of Irish descent, and many
more will be going across soon How
utterly foolish, as well as inconceivably
wicked, it is to attempt to rouse bitter
feeling against England. whose navv has
stood and still stands between German
pirates and own land The termagant
at the door Of the Cathedral, and every
other person, man or woman, engaged in
disseminating abuse of England are agents
OF the Kaiser, and cowardly agents at that
am French woman and a Catholic I
have three sons at the front fighting with
our brave English and American allies.
Therefore, I have a right to demand that
this despicable Irish propaganda shall be
stopped, and as Catholic l have right to
demand that never again shall the entrance
TO the house of God witness a scene like
that Of Sunday last

Will the Red Cross Help?

The failure of Congress to give army
nurses of proved professional oualifica-
tions a status which will carry with it
respect and authority is attributed in
some quarters to Indifference of the Red
Cross. The argument is that if Red
cross nurses cannot attain rank, but
must remain civilian volunteers, without
army shoulder straps or the weight of a
commission behind them, then why
shouldn't all nurses at the front serve on
the same basis?
But any parallel Of this sort between
army nurses and Red Cross nurses is
misleading. The Red Cross is not gov
ernment enterprise. 1t is not part and
parcel of the military establishment. 1t
is supported by private contributions. It's
agents are civilians, although, somewhat
paradoxlcally, few Of it's higher officers
have been decorated with military titles.
On the other hand, the nurse corps is by
law attached to the army, is maintained
by government funds and is subject to
military control and discipline Its func-
tons are military in the broad legal
sense of that term, although its status
has been, and would remain under the
reorganization which Congress has au-
thorzed, more or less nondescript.
IT rank was necessary for the higher
Red Cross officers it is far more neces
sary for those who perform officers func-
tlons IN the nurse corps. Congress per
haps could see this if the Red Cross werc
anxious that it should.

Thirty Billions for Next Year

Mr., Judson Welliver, the correspond
ent of "The Globe" reports to his
journal that the appropriations for the
coming year may exceed even the recent
estimates made by Secretary McAdoo.
and that the total may reach thirty bill
ions. The items, he says, will run
about as follows:
Army appropriation bill $12, 900, 900, 900
Fortlfications bill ....... 5,500,OOO, 900
Sundry civil appropria-
tons ............ 3,000,000,0OO
Deficiency appropriations 2,OO0.0OO,O00
Naval appropriations -. 100000 900
Total. .............$2 $4,000, 100000
To this, Mr.. Welliver said, is to be
added an estimated $6,OO0,O0O,OO for
loans to our allies. The deficiency and
sundry civil bills for the new fiscal wear
will carry about $4,OOO,00O, for the
emergency fleet, and the other bills will
provide for three armies of l,375,O0O
each, or total of five million men,
Mr.. Welliver adds:
AS the great programme for pro-
duclng war materials comes into full
operation the quantities of product
are paralyzing mems imaginations.
we shall be appropriating next win
ter not millions but hundreds of mill
ions to build concrete warehouses 10
store materials now made or in the
making declared an appropriation
authority. Nobody seems to have had
conception of the quantities we
were providing for. | frankly admit,
as one of the men who helped make
some of the measures, | had no idea
what was involved This is especially
true In ammunition
1t appears that already the production
of ammunition has been driven to such
a pace that it now far outruns the
capacity to produce big guns to shoot
It, But Mr.. Welliver recalls the excited
debate in the House of Commons in
England over an Identical situation a
year or more ago, with violent charges
of mismanagement. But, as it turned
out, every bit of the ammunition was
needed and there were no excesses at
all. Probably it would be impossible
so precisely to coordinate production in
every field as precisely to match up in
every way, for the simple reason that
when it comes to such questions as guns
and ammunition needed for them these
can at best be little more than expert
guesses.
