and ideals. The only difference between socialism in America and socialism in Germany IS that part the American Socialists have decided to remain loyal to their own Government, while the German Socialists have chosen loyalty to theirs, and the only difference between either of them and the Bolsheviki is that the latter have kept their blind faith in that "red internatonasm' which is fun damental principle of all socialism, while the So- ciasts of other nations have not

 It is not strange to those who followed the course of Mir Hornaday in connection with Alaska game con ditons that he should favor the absolute control oi the whole government through bureaus and other central authorities instead of by the people Of the country acting through their State and municipal governments He is a natural beaurocrat, and thor oughy disrustful of the masses. The Socialism whlch Mr IIornaday eulogises would make America as completely beaurocracy Russia ever was ana lead to revolution, either peaceabe otherwise, as certainly as lead rebellion in Russia.

HORNADAY UNDER FIRE.

William T. Hornaday superintendent of the New York Geological Park, who gained rather unenvi- able fame in Alaska by his expert" statements to the House Committee Territories concerning Alas kan game conditions (condtions that do not exist) is under fire because of attacks on Socialism in Germany and praise for Socialism in American, con tained in a book which he recently to the public, entitled Awake, America"
 The following is from the Book Review de- partment of the New York Times of June 10th:
 WAKE UP AMERICA. By Mark Sullivan, New York
 The Macmillan Company. $1,
 AWAKE AMERICA: Object Lessons and Warnines.
 By William T. Hornaday Illustrated Published
 the auspices of the American Defense Society
 New York Moffat, Yard Co.
 These two books similar in title, are both in spred by flaming patriotism and profound earnest Both authors eager to say the word that will help most in urging preparations and in exalting steeling national spirit to achieve its utmost. And therefore to find fault with them may seem an ungracious act. But, however heartily one may be in accord with their spirit and purpose and however much may wish them success. each in his own crusade there are certain things in each of the books calculated to make the judcious greve and to wish that when they sat down to write their books their zeal might have been tempered with a little more judgment, patience, and wisdom For so their message might have had more effect.
 Mir Hornaday whose book is published under the auspices of the National Defense Society has given the it represents-that of helping to win the for civilization and of defending America from foes without and within. The high spirit Of patriotism that inspires it and the hot passion of estness with which it is written make it not unlike a flaming torch with which its author would sum all his countrymcn to service in deed and word and spirit. It is the spirit that is needed the call that must be. sounded day and night. and Mr. Hornaday does his share with zeal that comes e'i dently from the bottom of his heart But one can not help wishing that he had written with sore- thing of both knowledge and appreciation of parts the country not in the immediate neighbor hood of New York Some of them are likely to re- sent of the things he and while they will lessen the efforts and sacrifices they are making the memory of these accusations will rankle in their hearts and work against that unifying of the country which all good Americans long for. Nor is it possible agree with MT Hornaday in the very tender treatment he accords to American socialism as compared with the scorching he gives to "alien socialism" This latter brand deserves all he O.. 1t, and even more But the fact remains that Social ism in America is exactly what it is in Europe. an economic and social system made in Germany and to American habits. customs, methods.

SHINES LIKE A BEACON.

The bright and shining star to which the Nations hitchng their during these times that try mems souls is President Wilson. He, like Lincoln in the period when the United States was becoming naonazed through the ordeal of war, is voicng the spirit of the times-with this differ ence, Lincoln laying the foundations for an enduring Nation, while Wilson is laying those for an enduring world. AS the progresses, this fact is becoming and generally recognized throughout the, world. In the words of the London Daily News:
 "When the history of the war comes to be written the speeches of President Wilson will shine out like beacon lights in the darkness. He never falters in the great argument that he has taken up allows the situations of
 the struggle to divert him from tte single mo- tive that has inspired his action both before and since the entry of his country into the war
 That motive is to secure, by disinterested service humanity, such victory that the world may never hereafter have to fear the only thing that any nation has to dread--thc un-
 just and selfish aggression of another nation We sincerely hope that the deliberations of the British Commonwealths Will be con duced in the light of President Wilson's H. luminating gospel.
