THE ARCTIC LABORATORIES.

News from NilhJallnar StelaHsSoii
SAYS that his lieutenant, Storkerson,
at the head OF party, has penetrated
to a point of Is miles north OF Al
aska. This would prove, if correct,
says Stefansson's telegram, that the
party has gone some seventy miles
beyond the limit OF previous eXplor-
crs. and indicates errors in existing
maps.
There are those who are inclined
TO sneer at this information, pro-
cured at so great cost of time and
strength, in days Of war. But those
who carp at the work of Stefansson
and his like have no business living
in America. They would have carped
at Christopher Columbus, at the
Cabots. at Francis Drake. Probably
they are even now cavailing at the
methods Of research pursued III the
Rockefeller Institute. and they can
not see why an able-bodied man
should watch a test tube at ohns
Hopkins when he should be carry
ing rifle and trench tool at the front.
There are many who can tight at
need. The explorers and researches
of the world are few. They are spe-
cialists-expert in their own lines
and frequently incompetent in 9th
ers. 1t is quite conceivable, for in
stance, Injured to arctic rigors,
stepped in the intense individualism
bred by lonely, frozen wastes, might
be far inferior as a soldier to anyone
OF the lads now graduating from the
neighboring college. Could any one
of them do his work? The question
answers itself.
1t is by the lonely labor of the eX-
plorer and scientist that we live, that
our standards grow higher, that our
civilization improves. They are our
leaders-and our servants as well.
No thoughtful man or woman thinks
lightly of them.
To only few is given that divine
and driving vision of something lost
behind the ranges. War or no war;
they dare not disregard it.

CHILDREN AND RELIGION.

Shall the child who hates Sunday
school have a religious education
forced upon him? Or shall the
mother let the matter drift with
"This is heather age, after all. And
when they are grown they can
choose their own religion?'
The editor OF the Delineator says:
The mother mentioned above is
an exponent of the universally sloven
" and sentimental method Of mod
ern child-training. OF course chill
dren dislike Sunday school. They
dislike public school, too. They dis
like orderly habits and wiping the
dishes and filling the wood-boX. The
present-day mother is taught to let
the little soul find and develop its
elf with the result that the modern
child is monument OF bad breed
ing and lack of discipline. This is
unfortunate. and the child suffers
for the lack of it all his life, but

One Of the characteristics OF mod
ern Germany is fundamental lack
of the religious attitude toward life.
There is much slathering talk OF
Gott nit uns by the kaiser. But the
ordinary German citizen. no matter
what church he attends and whose
forms he outwardly carries out, is
far from being a Christian. The
Christian attitude is essentially a
democratic attutde, kindly attitude,
and one requiring self-control for
the sake Of Others.
IL children could learn the things
which make for this attitude at the
mothered knee, it would be very
fine. But few mothers are good
teachers. Fewer still have the time
and that excess OF mental energy re-
quired for teaching. That is why we
have public schools. and that is why
we have Sunday schools.
Each individual must come TO a
personal reckoning with his religious
beliefs and forms at some time in his
life. But that he should carry that
attitude of reverence toward life, its

ANOTHER NATION IN ARMS.

Great Britain follows the lead OF
France and Italy in recognizing the
Czecho-S Slovak people as nation,
and their fighting men in Italy, on
the western front and in Russia, as
the representatives OF a nation III
arms. This is a step which must
further greatly the allied cause.
The United States has long since
made formal announcement OF its
sympathetic interest in the Czecho-
Slovaks, and has paid honorable
tribute to the services OF those OF
the race who have fought Warranty
on three fronts. American recog-
nition of the nation will not be long
DELAYED. The attitude OF the allies,
today is a guarantee that when the
great war is done, this oppdessed ma
tionality will enjoy its well-earned
reward. In the safeguarding OF its
rights and liberties, America, for
generations the haven of Bohemian
natonalists, will play large part.
Recognition Of the Czecho-Slovak
nation is the first step in the direc-
ton of that disemberment OF the
Hapsburg dominions which so many
regard as an essential of any perm
anent peace. The Italians, indeed,
last spring reached agreement with
the South Slavs in regard to the east
coast OF the Adriatic and the Dal-
matian hinterland and made possible
energetic military action in the Bal
kans, but the Czecho-Sloyaks are the
first of Austro-IIungarian subject
:eoples to be accepted as allies in the
great conflict, even as their services
of civilization have been most no
table.
They have demonstrated their de-
votion to the cause OF democracy by
fighting for it, and their valor is
their title to independence. There
is a new nation in arms against au-
tocracy.

Nothing Taking Prosrad

lent to decision. The matter IS
weightier because upon certain ques-
tions it may be nationally assumed
that the soldier vote is the sanest
vote in the United States. 1t has
had the greatest experience. 1t may
have the soundest judgment. To
eliminate this experience and this
Judgment from American political
decisions might have a profound et-
feet upon the American future.
There is the practical question OF
the military effect of political cam
paigning upon the troops. Theoret-
ically it might be disastrously con-
fusing. Actually we imagine it
would be small. An American army
subjected to the doses of cXhorta-
ton which an American commu-
nifty gets at election time would
cause a commander to tear his hair
That need not be.
What we should like to see would
be the operation Of method which
would preserve the opinion OF this
very important body OF American
men upon questions which vitally
concern the American nation. 1t
seems unfortunate that any deci-
sions, the consequences of which
they must abide, should be made
while they are voiceless. There are
practical pcrplexities and intricacies
which cannot be met by any rule Of
thumb, but there ought to be way,
found in rational practically, by
which the opinion of the army IN
France could be obtained upon ques-
tions worthy of submission to its
opinion.
If such way cannot be found the
United States may arrive, sooner or
later during the war, at some deci-
sions which do not represent the
opinion of its best informed and
npst experienced citizens.
1t would be disastrous to turn a
camp into a town meeting and II
might be damaging to expose an
army to volleyS of pamphlets from
the rear, but it certainly would be
beneficial to canvass soldier opinion
when the nation is making great de-
cisions.

THE SOLDIER VOTE.
lThe Chicago Tribune)

Intelligent concern regarding
the soldier vote recognizes all the
difficulties in the way of taking it,
and for that reason, although in
tensely interested in such problem
as the abstraction of so large a part
of the electorate from important de-
cisions, does not grow dcmagogic.
We can imagine decisions of the
greatest importance to the republic
which might need, for their safe de-
termination, the weight of the sol
dier vote. 1t is not small thing 10

so large a body of voters as is repre-
sented in the army in France.

lean people believe that if they were

they would perhaps use some
magic incantation on the Huns
Meanwhile, the best answer to all
their assertions is the splendid man
ner in which the Americans are
fighting now on the present front,
and the great movement of troops
across the water. The great victory
in which the Americans have taken
part was due, because they were
ready: it was no Bull Run affair OF
unpreparedness.

That the present is an era of ships,
and that launchings are matters OF
almost daily occurrence, is made the
occasion fer an editorial by the
Butte, (Mont.) Independent, which
says:
For at least twenty-five years the
politicians have been pounding hot
air at the question Of an American
merchant marine, and year ago
the stars and stripes were uncom-
mon upon the ships on the Atlantic
ocean. But how changed it has be-
come. All of a sudden the launch
ings of new American ships is so
common as not to attract attention,
and new tonnage by the millions is
being produced. The German sub
marine. victorious for two or three
years, has been already vanqulshed,
and it is only a question OF a short
time before this German method OF
killing may become a good deal OF
lost art.
"Meanwhile more than a million
Americans have crossed to Europe.
And another million will make the
voyage before the present year IS
ended. Now, no one goes to Europe
without gathering the impression
that it's really short journey-not
so far as | expected. World De
mocracy is certain to make ocean
travel cheap, and within ten years
from the close OF the war, it is safe
to predict, that nearly half the en-

The platform adopted by the Re
publcans Of New York at the recent
Saratoga convention contains a
thrust at Gen. Pershing, Gen. March,
and all the other conscientious sol
diers who have been identified with
the regular army, says the Steuben
County, On. " Farmers Advocate.
In the course of an editorial COM
menting on the platform the Farm
erS Advocate says:
Whoever wrote the plank OF uni
versal military training in the Sara
toga platform, certainly went out OF
his way to slap the face of General
Pershing, General March and all OF
the other conscientious soldiers, who
have been identified with the regu-
lar army.
That plank. it will be recalled,
read as follows:
eve call upon the United States
government to establish, without de-
lay, a well-ordered system OF uni
versal military training for national
service. A free nation must
be defended and represented by a
trained army OF freemen. For de-
mocracy to hire mercenaries to fight
its battles in as grotesque as it would
be to hire mercenaries to cast its
votes
THE idea that General Pershing,
General Scott, General March and
all the other devoted West Point
ers, who have built up our volunteer
Regular Army are to be set down
as "mercenarieS' is certainly pretty
startling doctrine, even for a party
as hard up for campaign issues as
the New York Republican seem to
be. 1t is reported that Mr.. Nicholas
Murray Butler drafted the planks OF
the Saratoga platform dealing with
national issues" presumably then,
DR.. Butler drafted this plank. If so,
he has handed the Republicans more
than a little to explain with his-to
put it NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. phrasing.
"When this war is over, and we
know what sort of world We face,
we shall have to choose. as Secre-
tary Baker has said, which system
we shall adopt. But, for the New
York State Republicans, pressing
zealously today for the adoption of
the Prussian system as our perman-
ent system, for the Republicans to
denounce our Regular Army as
made of 'mercenaries.' is to fling the
