GENERAL WOOD HOME.

The views OF General Wood,
lately returned from the battle
front, should, we think, carry
kfeat weight with the administra-
ton and congress, especially
when he urges an increase in our
army to 1900, 600 men, onc-haif Of
whom are to be held in training
for cventualtics. From this army
he recommends that 2,OOO,OOO be
sent to France at the earliest pos
sible moment and he further en-
phasizes the need of compulsory
universal military training.
General Wood is not a fatuous
optimist, neither is he q dWeller
in the caves of gloom. lie is a
sane, well-poiscds keen observer
Of affairs, holtHAs q high place in
the estimation Of the American
people, despite the poorly con-
eealed efforts Of the administra-
ton to keep him in the back
ground. Of course, he can not
remain there, because this war
has already gone far enough to
require the full efforts of all who
even approach the distinguished
place that General Wood holds
with the American people.
Important, too, is General
Woods statement that military
opinion is unanimous that the
German offensive will fail, al
though nothing is said as 10 how
far it will fail, or how long The
war may be prolonged as a result.
More than 1000 American avia-
tors are ready in Europe, but they
are without aeroplanes, and no
American artillery is available
yet ii will be a year on the sixth
Of April since the United States
got into The war. The only pro-
lection in the air on the American
sector has been furnished by
French machines.
General Wood urges the push
ing of our industrial program, The
absolute necessity of more ships
and sends general hurry-up
call which has been heard before
from various quarters. but from
him should command special al
tcnilon.

Race bitterness makes argu
ment, or discussion, or any ef
fort to come to a common un-
derstanding quite useless.
Where much racefeeling is en-
gagged, reason is neutrallzed.
With some people. questions
of the rights of colored peo-
pie under the Constitution. of
the people of California have
become impossible. They
simply can not discuss the sub
ject. While this is the case in
this country. we have enough
to do in cleansing our own
blood of germs of conflict
without thinking it our main
business to reach across the
water in restraint of war.
War is incipient among us in
these matters. and cruel bar
barities frequent enough. to
keep US busy reforming our
selves.
