How to Know an American

There have been various recipes COM
ing out of Paris, where all the nations of
the Allies congregate and you have even
wider field to choose from than here in
our much uniformed New York. Ameri
cans are clean shaven, is the oldest
theory. And it is good working hypoth
esis. An Englishman can be clean
shaven, but he generally lacks that con-
spicuously clean-cut look that marks the
average American.
Next comes the teeth theory. Ameri-
cans smile so broadly-and there is 50
much gold to be inspected. This appeals.
too. Americans are taciturn and serious:
that is one of their looks. When they un-
bend they go the whole distance, grin
ming cheerfully over nothing at all. At
least, that is rough and ready rule.
Lastly, we note the quotations from the
proprietor of Paris restaurant that he
could always tell the American soldier bv
that proud look" This is more flatter-
ing than the other theories. Does it fit?
we think it does, and rather aptly. We
haven't much to be proud of in the war
as yet. But every American has an un-
derlylng belief in his own country that is
pretty fundamental. If we exclude per-
sonal pride, which is relatively rare m
America, and stick to our national faith.
we think the Paris restaurateur is fairly
justified in his observation. PERHAPS
confidence might be more accurate
term-confdence running into cheek oc
caslonally, to be even more accurate. But
the general point is unn1istakable. We
only hope that our troops in France may
learn to wear their pride gracefully
more gracefully, let us say, than they ap-
parently do their teeth.

the birth rate, the question of infant
mortality and the health conditions of
school children. 1t is high time this
country took adequate action to preserve
the advantage it now has in those re-
spects. There is nothing experimental
about the municipal provision of lunches
for school children. 1t has been done
cheaply and with generally beneficial re-
suits in cities here and abroad. Neither,
since the city has already participated in
doing it with private agencies, is there
anything revolutionary about the idea.
The question which the Board of Alder
men has passed along to the Board of
Education is whether it will undertake
to sponsor the entire operation of the
plant for feeding children in the city, as
it now exists, and extend it as money
therefor may become available. The
choice which the Board of Educat;on
must make is whether it will undertake
the operation of system, incomplete as
yet, which is intended to foster the
health of the growing child, to preserve
his worth to the community, to improve
his value to the nation. Underfed
youngsters cannot produce sound men
for Americas work in the next genera
tion. The choice ought not to be hard to
make.

partment, with permission to get ord
nance made.
But more important still is that
supreme industrial management is COM
ing into play. 1t is called the War
Industries Board. The name is nothing
Many things that were called by the
right names have been scrapped be-
cause they had not the right powers.
Under B. M. Baruch the War In
dustries Board has begun to function in
a highly effective manner. It's power be-
gins at the bottom-that is, with raw
materials. A great many of the basic
resources of the country are pooled in.
its hands. If, for example, more steel
is wanted for guns or ships or locomo-
tives and cars, acquisitions must be
which, knowing the existing supply, al
lots to this one his quota and to that
other one his, and parcels out at the
same time to the manufacturers of steel
the chromium and other elements they
will need That is but one illustration.
The principle has been evolved; the
application is still imperfect. Even yet
it is possible for conflicts to arise, as if
the War Industries Board and the Ship
ping Board should come to an impassc
over a question of steel. But the au-
thority of the War Industries Board is
extending, because the understanding
and the will to take responsibility are
in proper conjunction, and because, at
last, the necessity for supreme industri-
al authority has been recognized. When
its authority shall have been complete
every separate programme manager will
submit his requirements to one place,
and the available supply of basic ma
terial, including labor and transporta-
ton, will be allotted. The faster its
jurisdiction is enlarged and it's powers
increased the more rapidly we shall get
into the war.
We are creating, almost unawares,
what in England is called a ministry of
munitions, and what here we shall call,
perhaps, an industrial war management.
This statement of how conditions are
changing will account for the feeling
reported from Washington that things
are going better. BY trial and error we
find the way Our feet are touching
solid ground.

The Rush for Easy Money

What opening the Golfers of the gov
ernment Treasury means in the minds of
most would-be borrowers is being vivid!y
illustrated at the moment. 1t is said
that the first meeting of the new War
Finance Corporation Board disclosed the
fact that the demands for capital ad-
vances already far exceed the total funds
available to the corporation, even if the
last dollar is loaned Instead of the
three and one-half billions nominally
available under the act, it is probable
that with perfect ease the board could
make loans for three, four or five times
these amounts as rapidly as the funds
could be found and shovelled out. It
would be the ideal of "open credit to ALL"
The heavy pressure of these demands
may, in themselves, warn the board of
the limitless demands which will be made
upon them, and so insure fairly con-
servative policy. But one prospect seems
clear. That is, that almost all of this
three and one-half billions will be de-
rived from pure credit expansion, just as
There now seems little prospect that the
notes or bonds" of this corporation,
which are not guaranteed by nor in any
way obligations of the United States
government, will find any large takers
outside of the banks. Three billions,
even in the United States, is a pretty
stiff amount to raise in such times as
these, when every one more or less feels
the pinch of heavy taxes, Liberty Loan
subscriptions, the Red Cross and all the
rest of the wars demands.
We hope that a definite statement of
the amounts of these notes placed with
the banks will be made,' showing how
much of this is furnished by Federal
Reserve notes or credits.

preserves that splendid unity, determi-
nation and enthusiasm which are already
transforming conditions abroad and are
bound to win the war when to the
spiritual is added the material contri-
button.
We owe it to our allies to stand firm
and confident, to recognize justly and
appraise accurately the meaning of To-
cal enemy gains with respect to the main
enemy purpose. The enemy does not
expect to conquer the armies in front
OF him. He expects by the weight of
his blow, driven against the bodies of
the soldiers at the front, to break the
sorely strained spirit of the populations
behind it. He hopes to foment discord,
criticism and even bad feeling between
the French and the English, the Ameri-
can and the English-between all the
Allies. He hopes to magnify small
gains and translate even larger Incl
dental achievements so that, while he
is still on the military side far from
success, the moral effect of his advance
will be decisive
There is no greater resource amid
all the Allied assets to-day than the
spirit which is rising, and universally, in
the United States at this time. Never
in the history of our nation has there
been anything like it. Men, women and
children have enlisted for the duration
of the war. The activities of the people
for the winning of the war are exciting
the amazement Of every European who
comes to our shores, but even more won
derful to him is the spirit of unity, of
confidence, of readiness for the ult-
mate sacrifice which is everywhere to
be found.
The next offensive is going to test
this spirit. 1t is going to test American
endurance. The elements of victory
are upon the side of our allies. They
can hold out until we come if we come
quickly and with undaunted spirit

Building Children for the Future

1t is to be hoped that the Board of
Education will pay heed to the recon-
mendation of the Board of Aldermen
that bureau of child feeding be estab-
lished. The city is already partially
committed to this policy, in that it owns
the central kitchen from which school
lunches are served, and part of the
equipment appertaining thereto, and has
made appropriations in various years for
the furtherance of the school lunch
scheme. The present proposal is to have
the school system take over all existing
equipment as a gift, to operate it and ex-
tend it as much as may be feasible, pay
ing operating charges and charging
school children only the cost of the
lunches.
Whatever expenditure of money is in
volved in this plan is an investment in
the future which is bound to pay huge
returns. 1t is not too much to saw that
the existing situation in respect of mall
nutrition among school children is ap-
palllng. Ignorance of food values on the
part OF parents accounts for this in part.
but war conditions account for it in far
greater part. Recent Investigations by
the Bureau of Child Hygiene of the
Health Department disclosed that actual
undernourishment had risen from a nor
NAL per cent to about 22 per cent. In
Manhattan schools only 16 per cent of
the pupils were rated as normal; the
"border-line cases"-that is, those not
actually undernourished, but not prop
erly ourlshed-amounted to 81 per cent
of the total number. And Manhattan
was not as bad as the other boroughs.
If this is not checked it is obvious that
the future generation will be genera
ton of weaklings, physically Inadequate
Tor the commercial and industrial COM
petition which must follow the ending of
the world war. Improvement of home
conditions cannot be relied on to check
it. Much as wages are going up, they
are not keeping pace with the rising cost
OF living. The health statistics already
show an alarming increase in the num-
Der of tuberculosis cases, a natural and
logical consequence of the inability Of
the workers to meet the rising food
costs.
The children are the nations second
line of defence. Abroad this is being
recognized by government inquiries into

Packages Over There

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: law has been passed which pro-
hibits sending boxes to "our boys" in
france, for the reason that they can pur-
cnase articles at the canteens at reasona-
Die prices. | would appreciate it if you
would print the following extract from a
letter written by my brother, who has been
ION active service" for the past six months:
II certainly was sorry to hear of that
new law. Of course, it is great way Of
saving shipping space and all that, but
it sure does cheer up a chap to receive a
package from the States 1t gives
friendly spirit all round, and even if the
box contains articles he does not need
himself there is always some one who can
use them, and we are glad to pass them
along.
"Just received the two latest boxes,
which will probably be the last. They
say things can be bought at the various
canteens at reasonable prices Well, can
you imagine putting up so cents for one
can of condensed milk? That's the
teen price. Candy, cigarettes, jam, ETC.,
cannot be compared in price or quality
with those received from home. And
cake-that is out of the question entirely.
THE box containing my favorite Ora
ham Courtneys,' candy and frnit cake
very enjoyable. The candy lived just ten
minutes, and that cake. Yeh, boz the
bunch went Wild. Bill made flying
leap and away she went. That's thing
which simply can't be bought anywhere.
They had some corn cakes at the Y. VI.
c. A., but where do they fit in with
home made fruit cake?
"If the time comes (and / hope it's
soon) when you can send boxes again.
stick to the 'cats'-thcy're great. Planta-
tons 'Hershey's bars and fruit cake are
the things. Especially the last-that goes
best of ALL"
Cannot something be done to facilitate
matters so that our boys overseas might
receive more packages from home? You
can readily see how much they appreciate
them. We are permitted to send packages
to the boys in training camps here in the
States, then why deprive those boys who
are actually in ths thick of the fight?
