To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: At the present time there is an evil
dent scarcity of competent, all-around ply
siclans to look after civilians who arc ill.
Further such are the men who are most
needed at the front with our army. How
may this want be best supplied?
In my judgment, by Offering the position
of attending physician, or surgeon, to
hospital to men who are qualified. but who
already have passed the meridian of life.
There are not few who have had wide
experience in hospital and private practice,
but who have withdrawn in part at least
from exacting and onerous duties when
they could properly, and to make places
for the younger, more active physicians.
But now is a time of great stress, and
every man is needed to fill his role to help
the government and the city. True, the
advanced specialist is needed, but much
more is needed-the wise general prac-
titioner. He may not know practically all
the newest findings of the laboratory he
may not have acquired what are the newest
things in practice, many of which are still
of problematical value and will soon bo
utilized no longer because they have been
Here, then, the wisdom of lifetime.
that which has been acquired by bedside
watching and doing, will be found of ines
timable value. Now, always, more in
deed than ever before, the great public will
learn to appreciate as it deserves the sacri-
flee and help that has been theirs in days
gone by, when specialists were few and

Why Recruits Walk

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring to editorial in The New
York Tribune this morning, June %, re-
garding recruits for the U. S. Naval Re-
serve Force being obliged to walk to the
third floor in order to enroll
The signs referred to-"U. S. Naval Re-
serve Force-Enrolling Office, Third Floor
Elevators Do Not Stop-Walk Up"-were not
put up by the Mayors committee or any
body connected with the Hall Of Records
but were put up by my direction The
reason for this is that we have from 800 to
400 men applying for enrolment daily
and one can readily realize that it is utterly
impossible to allow these men to use the
elevators, as it would interfere with the
other tenants of the building; in fact, that
was the reason we vacated our former quar-.
ters, the superintendent of the building
finding fault with the men using elevators
and crowding the other occupants of 81
Chambers Street.
1t is respectfully requested that this mat
ter will have your careful attention and tho
necessary explanation printed in the col
umns of your paper. Respectfully yours,

little trace. But the marchers did pos

Scene answered scene, colors spoke to

The essential freedom Of America
spoke in these frce-moving crowds. To
the alien critic there might seem scant
rhythm, little unity. But to Americans,
familiar with all the precious years of
our national life, viewing this marching
host by their eager sacrifices, by their
heart of hearts, there is different
vision

the color and stature Of every race. of
every quarter of the globe, poured forth
in one vast, unified stream to declare
their Americanism and rejoice in it.
In this city of many tongues and one
faith it was the most fitting celebration
OF independence Day we have ever
known. 1t was our great parade. It
took the war to heat our great melting
pot to this high point of fervid and out
pouring patriotism. But the parade was,
at that, a true if transfgured and glori-
fled symbol of all those many processes
which have been continually at work
among our newer citizens and which.
after all, brought us to our supreme ma
tional test, devotedly loyal and united
people. Let the casualty lists give answer
if there are still doubters.
There were cheers for every one. hit
none quite so hearty as for our Ameri-
cans of German blood. 1t may have re-
quired some personal courage for these
to march. Yet we think their reception
was never in doubt.

|'Ihe Very Stuff Of Triumph"

Yesterday at the tomb of George
Washington President Wilson pledged
the American people to
"the destruction of every arbitrary
power anywhere that can separately.
secretly and of its single choice disturb
the peace Of the world; or, if it cannot
be presently destroyed, at the least its
reduction to virtual impotence"
This is no diplomatic definition Of
war aims.
1t is an inscription of faith.
The enterprise in which the American
democracy is engaged is not primarily
war, not war as such at all. 1t is an
errand obliged. 1t is crusade under
taken for no other purpose than to
deliver people from political despotism
and put them in control Of their own
destinies. To do so is our destiny. If
we are steadfast to the end, historians
will call it the most romantic human
performance since thousand years ago
the militant Christians Of Europe made
war on the Turk to recover the Holy
Land, and the feet Of million martyrs,
going but not returning, wore one-way
path across the Balkan Peninsula. The
Turk is still in the Holy Land. The Hun
is intrenched in the Balkans. But the
Christian pathway is still there, and the
making of it is still one of the greatest

The Czecho-Slovak Adventure

Washington is beginning to wake up
to the significance Of the Czecho-Slovak
exploits in Siberia. What the Czccho-
Slovaks have done stands out as one of
the remarkable adventures of this war.
A parallel to it can be found in few other
wars.
The Czecho-Slovaks were prisoners
when the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty was
signed. They had gladly accepted cap
tivity as means of escaping further
service in the armies of AustriaHun-
gary. They had no intention of being
turned back into servitude.
They were unarmed. They had to arm
themselves by taking guns and war sup
plies away from their Bolshevik guards.
They had to secure their position in the
interior of Siberia by seizing long Sec
tions of the Siberian railway. They went
unreservedly over to the Allied cause
now the cause also of the oppressed races
Of the Dual Monarchy. They were willing
to leave Siberia by way of Vladivostok
and join the Allied forces in Europe
But they could not get away. And they
soon discovered more direct and eff
fective method Of using their strength to
the disadvantage of AUSTRIA Hungary
and Germany.
Remaining in Siberia, with the assent,
apparently, of the great mass of it's pop
ulation, they have erected a barrier
against German penetration east of the
Urals. The Lenine government at Mos
COW must do Germany's bidding. 1t is too
weak to check the German penetration.
Russia in Europe has become a German
appendage. But by cutting off Siberia
from Russia proper the Czecho-Slovaks
have temporarily blocked German plans
for exploiting Siberias rich resources
and have carried the frontier from which
Allied influence may be exerted against
Germany more than four thousand miles
west from Vladivostok
1t is admitted that the Czecho-Slovaks
control the Siberian railroad for $500
miles of its length-from Irkutsk on the
east to Syzran on the west. They have
recently taken possession of Vladivostok.
With little assistance they could prob
ably clear the Pacific Coast section of
the road as far as Manchuria. Manchuria
is Allied territory. And from the Chinese
border to Irkutsk is a relatively short
jump.
The Czecho-Slovaks under arms prob
ably do not number more than 10000 or
100000. If force of this size can prac-
tically dominate Siberia, the mountains
made of the military difficulties of
Siberian expedition reduce themselves to
molehills.
The difficulties of intervention lie rath-
er on the diplomatic and political side.
Siberia, however, is apparently through
with the Lenine government. 1t puts it's
own security and protection against the
German menace above it's old allegiance
to the Russian Empire. The Czecho-Slo-
vaks could not have done what they have
done without Siberian good will. They
have pointed the way. They have opened
the eyes OF those who wish to see. They
have won undying fame because thew

Herr Hearst:s Fourth
From The Ne1u York World
LETTERS OF A RETIRED STATESMAN
TO HIS FOOL FRIENDS
On Our Fourth of July Host

A. Junketeer, NJ. C.
Dear Friend: Where and how am | going
to spend the Fourth of July? you ask me-
Well, sir, [ should like to have gone to
the tomb of Washington and heard Wood
row Wilson making the world safe for de-
mocracy, but I shall probably spend the
day right here watching a iunketing dele
cation of Congressmen making New York
City safe for Hearstocracy.
You see, Wilhelm Randolph Hearst has
invited the members of our national Senate
and House to come over at his expense and
assist him in reviewing the Loyalty Parade
from his private grandstand. Of course
there will be public grandstand for Off
cials, but the official grandstand as un-
derstand it, Will be the private one of Herr
Hearst, which will contain the real grand
ISLANDERS.
According to the published programme in
Herr Hearst's papers, this feature of the
celebration will be intensely patriotic First
Of all, there will be special steel cars
long train Of misunderstanding coal con-
servation; then there will be breakfast
luncheon, dinner and supper in the interest
of food conservation, and after that the
atre party and midnight show to impress
every one with the necessity of daylight
saving.
AS the programme is published in Eng
lish, the former readers of Herr Hearsts
"Deutsches Journal will have to look for
it in the "Staats" or the "Abendpost"
The only fault find with the programme
is that there is not enough of 1t. Since
Herr Hearst has become our foremost
patriot the possibilities of celebrating the
Fourth OF July with himself as the central
figure are unlimited artistically and also
hnancially-if you stop to consider the
movie rights.
If I were to make up a Fourth Of July
programme for him I would make 1t some
thing like this:
7:1o a. m.-Arrival of the Congressional
unlimited.
7:3o-Address of welcome read by Mayor
Hylan.
8-Breakfast.
9-Tableau, Hearst Signing the Declars
ton Of the Independence League"
1O-Visit to the Art Museum to view the
historic painting of George Washington
Rescuing a Pacifst Jellyfsh from a Bel
ligerent Toad at Valley Forge"
Noon-Luncheon.
l p. m.-Pinochle.
3-Tableau, Hearst Crossing the Della
ware" (using the North River as camou-
flage; crossing from the Jersey shore with
background of bonfres voluntarily con-
tributed by patriotic Jerseymen).
5-IInveiling of q pen portrait of Herr
Hearst drawn by the editor of the "Co
logne Gazette
6-Hearst to deliver his celebrated patr
otic speech, Give Me Liberty or Give Ne
Death or Give Me a Nomination."
Dinner
s:15-Theatre, "The Folies Of 1918 and
Other Congresses"
1l-Dr. Hylan presents the guests WITH
passkeys TO the freedom OF the city.
Midnight-Supper show
July 5-Guests gather in railroad station
for return trip to the capital. Each gues'

Spikes in logs ruined two saws, en-

attributed to either German sympa-
thizers or 1. w. W., whose leaders

In one log six railroad spikes driv>
en- in a U-shape were found. When
the saw hit these it was torn to pieces
and the spikes hurled through the
air. The men on the carriage say
they were driven deep into the log in
order to prevent detection. AS a re-
suit of striking a spike in another log
the mill was closed for. several hours.
