Plague at Essen
ASSOCIATED Press)

London, June 10.-A dispatch to
the Times from The Hague quotes a
neutral arriving there from Germany
as stating that an epidemic of black
smallpox is raging among the work
men in the Krupp plant at Essen, with
four or five fatal cases daily. The out
break is attributed to underfeeding
and unsanitary conditions.

Without Doing Any Material Damage, U-Boats
Keep Up Damaging Warfare
UNEXPECTED CONSIDERATION SHOWN BY COMMANDER OF SUBMARINE TO TWO WHALING
VESSELS AND THEIR CREWS
F

New York, June 10.-Capt. Mac
Kenzie and sixteen of the crew of the
American steamer Pinar Del Rio,
missing since the vessel was sub
marined off the Maryland coast Sat
urday, reached here today on board a
Norwegian steamship which rescued
them from small lifeboats off the Jer-
sey coast.
Since it became known that the Sub
marines were in this area, naval and
air forces have concentrated their eff
forts there. The task of bagging the
sea wolves, even in so limited an area,
is not an easy one, as the vessels can
submerge and lie on the bottom until
danger is past. Then, too, the sug-
gestion has been made that the craft
may have been finding refuge at
night in the many coves and inlets
along the eastern shore of Virginia,
and there re-charging batteries and
giving the crews breathing and rest
ing spells.

Two Hundred Thousand Men Being Used on a
TWenty-Mile Front by the Teutons.
SLOW PROGRESS OF THE ENEMY ATTENDED, BY TERRIFIC SLAUGHTER OUR MARINES IN
MARINE SECTOR BEAT OFF ANOTHER FIERCE ATTACK
ASSOCIATED

Comparatively slow progress, at
tended by what is described as enor-
nous losses, is being made by the
Germans in their latest effort to break
the allied front in France. The ad-
vance against the Noyon- Montdidier
line encountered stern resistance and
it is only on comparatively short
section that the enemy made appre-
ciable gains. The deepest penetra-
tion is reported approximately two
and three-quarter miles. The Ger
mans are reported to have used 200,-
600 men against line only little
over twenty miles in length.
OPENING OF THE ATTACK
Paris, June 9.-The Germans at
tackled in force at o'clock this morn
ing west of the front of the recent
battle, striking along the sector be-
tween Montdidier and Noyon. The
official French report says the French
are resisting valiantly and the bat
tie is raging iercely.

Office reports. On the French left wing
furious German attacks were broken
up by French fire. In the center the
enemy brought up reinforcements
and made further progress, reaching
the southern part of the Cuvilly wood,
and Ressonsur- Matz. French and Am
erican troops continuing their at
tack in the region of Bussaires, on the
Marine front, have gained more
ground and took prisoners. On the
French right wing along the front of
the new attack fierce fighting con-
tinues. The French have taken more
than 500 prisoners in various engage
ments. The prisoners report unani-
mously that the losses to the Germans
in the battle begun yesterday have
been extremely heavy.

Who Are 'The People?
To the Editor Of The Star:


In a letter addressed to my grand
father about seventy-five years ago
Henry A. Wise. then representing Vir-
ginia in the United States Senate, uses
these words: 1.-The people! Who are
they? Those who care for themselves
very much-for their country very lit
tle." I am reminded of this outburst
when Mr.. Hoover informs us that, de-
spite earnest appeals for patriotic CO.
operation. despite the palpable need for
food conservation, and despite the sac
rifices made by many. there has been
an increased consumption during the
past year. owing to increases in profits
and wages secured through war condi-
lions. No successful democracy can
exist until the people have learned to
govern themselves and to submerge
their selfish desires and interests be-
meath the general interest. We are
accustomed to decry German autocracy,
but II the bulk of the American people
are unable or unwilling to subordinate
personal to public veal and comfort we
need just such autocratic methods in
this country. and the growing auto
cratic power now being conferred on
the President may perhaps be profit
ably retained after the close Of the war

BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT
In the Kansas City Star.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March "A cap
tain in the Regular Army of the United
States has just been justly sentenced
to twenty-five years Imprisonment for
trying to combine loyalty to this coun-
try with loyalty to Germany. He was
born here of German parents. In Ger
many. for such an offense. he would
have been instantly shot or hung, and in
Germany organizations and newspapers
responsible for causing such actions
would be instantly suppressed and
their organizers and editors heavily
punished.
Swayed by Propaganda.
The unfortunate Army officer in
question is paying the penalty for heed
ing such organizations as the German
American Alliance. Mr.. Gustavus Oh
linger has put before Congress facts
concerning the past actions and activi-
ties of this organization which war
rant and require it's instant suppress
sion. Its leaders have sometimes been
men who practiced a fifty-fifty loyalty
between this country and Germany. and
sometimes men all of whose loyalty
was for Germany and whose enmity
was for the national ideals and Ian
guage Of the American people.
Calls On Congress to Suppress.
It is an outrage that such an 'organi-
zation should be permitted longer to
exist. Congress should act against it
at once, and the Department of Justice
should abandon its slack attitude to-
ward German spies and should SO act
as to convince our enemies that Uncle
Sam is not a timid and soft-headed
fool. and that he inform German spies,
dynamiters and murderers who ply
their trade here they will do SO at the
risk of their necks.
Teaching German in the public
schools should be prohibited. German
language newspapers should have a
time limit act. after which it should
not be lawful to publish them save in
English A few of their newspapers
have a most honorable past and are
doing excellent work in the present.

Retirement System Inadequate.

THE failure of the public service to
attract and hold the more ambitious
and energetic men is loss which is to
some degree attributable to the alb
sence of an adequate retirement sys-
tenn it is stated.
The advantages to the general public
OF well designed retirement system
are that it improves the quality of the
governmental service and provides
support Systematically not only for
employees who through its provisions
are eliminated from the service, but
also for those employees who, even in
the absence of system, are forced to
resign. sometimes in poverty, because
accident. disease or old age prevents
them from fulfilling even the minimum
requirements of their Offices" Mr..
Merriam says.
ITO limited extent. the system may
even provide something for widows,
orphans or other dependents in the
event of death of the breadwinner
1t is, therefore, a constructive social
measure, because it tends toward
greater stability and independence and
reduces the need for public and private
charity, and it does this by compelling
the employees while possessed of full
earning capacity to save part of their
compensation for services rendered in
order that they may be protected when
their earning capacity fails"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-03-02
Bitterly Contested Question.

Mr.. Merriam points out that the divi-
sion of cost of the system between the
government and the employees as a class
constitutes probably the most bitterly
contested question which the trainers Of
a retirement system have to face"
1T is the familiar issue of the con-
tributory VS.. the non-contributory sys-
tenn, and, unfortunately. it has assumed
undue prominence in the consideration
of retirement legislation, because it is
of great importance TO employees already
in the service"
Mr.. Merriam asserts that a clear line of
distinction must be drawn in any ar
rangement between those in the service
and those later to enter.
After an adequate. permanent, all
round system has been perfected, ap-
plicable to new entrants and possibly
to such of the younger present employ
es as elect to come under it, then a
temporary system can be devised for
the present employees that will deal
justly with them without impairine the
utility of the permanent system" the
author states.
