Brailsford. expressing the view Of
British Liberalism. writes that men
Of an active and civilian mind do not
easily resign themselves even in days
so anxious as these, TO the ahondon-
ment OF all political thinking about
the war; Mr.. BraiIsford was think
ing, when he hegan an article in the
New Republic with these words, OF
the League Of Nations. He might just
as well have been writing OF tariffs, or
governmental provision for disabled
soldiers. or war reconstruction, or aft
er-war economic relations: problems
such as need not assume first place in
any nations calculations so long as
Germany remains unbeaten. but 70
which ii is well for statesmen and put
Iicists TO be giving thought In con-
tfnuing to think about war and peace
politically as well as strategically.
more or less intelligent citizens of the
Allied nations are only exercising one
OF their natural prerogatiyes- All this
is the more obvious at time when the
German legislature and ministry have
pretty Enthusiastically accepted military
control. The difference between the
Entente Allies with their tradition and
fact of the civilian-controlled state,
and the Central Powers, with their
military-ruled organism, is too strik-
ing to be missed by the most muddle-
headed defender of creed outworn.
And II ii were not for some such con-
trast the present war would be only a
contest over the Balance of Power :
OF that and great deal more.
The advantage enjoyed by the AL
lance. as expressive of political
thought and potential democracy. over
the Central Powers, as expressive of
trained brute force, is not to be
thrown away. Ii is a treasure not
from the past alone or of the present:
il is also pledge and treasure for
the future Hence the parrot cry one
sometimes hears, Nothing makes any
difference except winning the war;" is
no clear demonstration of patriotism.
Ideals and ideals do still matter.
They will outlast the emergency. And
they will even warm or chill our war
spirit no matter how long the war
lasts-and so one is grateful to the
President for being more farsighted
and more idealistic than some other
Americans. The Alliance is at pres
ent more nearly compact organiza-
tion both as of, and as within, the ma
tions making it up. by reason of Wood
row Wilson. There are men in England
today and in Italy and in France who
are more loyal citizens and more will
ing war sufferers and better soldiers
because, thanks to the Wilson they
know or imagine. they feel more force
fully than they could have felt without
him the essential differences between
Germany's politico-economic aims and
the aspirations of the Great Alliance.

MANY SWEDES TALK HUN

LONDON, Oct. 26. = In Sweden
one is disagreeably struck by the
number of people who speak Ger
man. When asked a question in
English, be he a policeman or a
civilian, he Immediately counters in
German. At hotels and restaurants
few porters and walters understand
or speak English. In book shops
English books and magazines are
few, while German are largely rep
resented. 1t is different in Norway.
English is taught at school and
nearly everybody one meets, from
the porter at the station to ones
neighbor at the dinner table,
speaks English fluently. The win
dows of the book shops are full of
English and American publications.
The treatment of English-speaking
visitors had more of hearty hospi-
tality and kindness in Norway
than in Sweden.

creed the abolition of all entrance
examinations in the universities and
ordered that persons of either sex
who have reached their sixteenth
year may register and attend any
higher institution of learning with

occupied by more material refresh
ments at teas, dances, parties, re-
captions, lodge meetings, ETC., in
Nevada, according to the latest pro-
nouncement of the state food ad-
ministrator.
THE practice of eating refresh
ments between meals, in the form
of punches, lunches, tea and cakes
or more elaborte '~banquets' is not
consistent with our bond solemnly
given to feed the people of the al
lied countries and to eat at common
table with Them" the statement
reads. "Banquets of any sort
should take the form of simple
meals, simply served at a regular
meal time. Misuse of necessary
foods must stop Immediately; this
is m way to stop it, one very easy
way"

to the south side of London, then
through the southeastern part of the
metropolis, where l recognized many
landmarks of my boyhood days. The
day before l had visited Ford street,
Spitalfields, and the house there where
l first saw the light 6S years ago.
We ran through Peckham road and
passed the handsome building of the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers,
which l knew was there from CORE
spondence back in Washington with
it's officers, but which l now saw for
the first time.
Once out of London We travelled
over the hills of Kent and saw some OF
the prettiest of the English country
side. hartford Hospital, now used ex-
clusively by Americans, is on the top
of a hill and commands al unequalled
view of the country for many miles.
We approached 1t from the picturesque
village which lies at the base OF he
hill. A fair vas in progress there, and
the place was alive with people.
Major K. II. Fiske, the commanding
officer of the hospital. welcomed us
with open arms. He m from
Brooklyn, and l had met him in New
York. He was surrounded by groups
of the most cheerful crowd of wounded
men imaginable. / recognized some of
them at once. One of them, John Del
monte, was a neighbor of our family in
New York. l was able to give him
first-hand information that all was
we'll at home, and he was very glad.
Well, 1 walked about there among
the men, handing them cigarettes,
American flags and comfort bags made
by the women of America to be dispos-
ed of to our boys wherever they may
be. 1t was a great experience and
touched me very deeply. Every little
while l could feel c lump come up In
my throat. l just couldn't help it.
Americans l met from almost every
state in the Union. And before
was / so proud to meet my country
men. Our visit was quite unannounc-
ed, and the boys were surprised and
pleased.

in Siberia.
He added: I'm order to enable

corps, p%ontoon battalions and some
other contingents in the rear"

This leaves in my mind a painful
impression. Are the extraordi-
nary powers of this court being
invoked for the protection of
compliments property and bust
ness. and for no other reason?
This impression is not affected
or effaced by the suggestion that
many of the alleged u%tterances APP
pear to have been made before our
entrance into the war, and there
fore at a time when there was no
espionage act. We must bear in
mind that the espionage act is
the test of criminal sedition, not
the measure of loyalty. Some ex-
preston of disapproval some as
that it is periodically
supporting the government, and
will continue to do so, and that
no u%tterances like those quoted
in Lemons affidavit will appear
in it's publications, would not
seriously transgress the proprie-
ties, even though it be conceded
that compliments loyalty is not
a legal issue in this proceeding.
Anyone who gives systematic
expression to, and intends to
continue the sort of propaganda
alleged in the Lennon affidavit,
must expect disapproval and OPP
position and that efforts will be
made to restrain the publication
of such sentiments
1T seems to me that that tells
the whole story. Mr.. Hearst, fol
some reason of his own, did not
to put to the test either his
patriotism or his loyalty, %preferring
instead to stand on purely technical
legal ground.
mo man with clean hands could
for one moment tolerate such a de-
tense against the charges made, and
my opinion no man with clean
hands will ever be content 20 stink
a mere construction of law
when his honor and his right to
citizenship is specifically attacked
by sworn affidavit.

wouNDE WITH AMERICAN RED CROSS VISITORS AT MILITARY HOSPITAL NEAR LONDON

a mOtor-car full of things, which we
distributed. The cigarettes were from
two shipments SEM over here by the
people of Providence, X. l., and by
the Rotary Club of Honolulu, Hawaii,
and each package had a little card by
which the men could acknowledge the
gift. 1t was a pleasure for me to hand
these gifts to the men. They came
from America, and l thought of every
one as a link between these soldiers
and the mothers, wives and sweet
hearts of America.
If the Red Cross did nothing more
than to distribute these things it would
be worth while. l am a member of the
Red Cross in America, just like so
many millions of other Americans. In
the last drive l helped to raise some
of that giant fund, and / expect to
raise my voice for it again in the next
drive. l shall be able to speak first
hand of its work for our men.
While l was talking with the con-
v~alescents out on the lawn a pretty
big crowd began to gather, and some
body asked for a speech. l just could
not refuse and gave them a personal
message from the folks at home. I
told them how grateful everybody was
to them for the sacrifice they had al
ready made and for the further sacri-
fees l knew they were prepared to
make for the ideals of America. l
gave them a mental picture of the sit
uation at home since they left,-how
everybody was working for the war,
backing up the army and navy with
everything necessary to bring victory.
After we had shaken hands all round
once more l went through several
wards and found the same cheerful
spirit In all. The boys all said they
were getting along fine. They wanted
to know the latest home news, and I
gave them all I could in the short time
l had.
The visit was a great privilege for
me. No matter how many of our hos
pitfalls / shall see in my visits to France
and Italy, the impressions of my first
meeting with them at hartford VIII
never die out.
