A Mothers Job

One of the most effective posters of the
Red Cross drive-that called so loudly
to us all-was that which represented
the Red Cross organization as mother
the Greatest Mother in the World" And
1T was simple truth. Almost every Job
that the Red Cross undertakes is a moth
er's job. It's manifold labors are done by
women in the vast majority of cases. 1t
is women, sewing the country over, who
supply our hospitals with surgical! dress
lngs. 1t is women, our trained nurses.
who perform a service without price in
our hospitals. There is some essential
and important work which men can do
best. The bulk of the Red Cross duty is
woman's, by right and in fact.
Yet the War Council of the Red Cross,
its highest executive body, has not a
single woman on it. More and more
women are doing important executive
work tor the nization-necessarily as
IN every other war activity. But official
recognition of women as sharers in this
great service has been withheld: and,
equally, the benefit of women's minds on
the largest problems of the Red Cross has
not been gained. 1t is difficult to believe
that the serious and hampering injustice
to women nurses, the withholding of mill
tary rank, would have persisted had
women been represented in the supreme
Red Cross councils.
This is preserving an outworn and
obsolete theory at the expense of COM
mon sense and efficiency. The ability of
women to work side by side with men is
being recognized the world around. What
the war has demonstrated the greatest
agency of human service in the war, the
Red Cross, can surely recognize-must
recognize if it is to express the best en-
deavor Of the time.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-30

with counsel to represent DR.. Brown.
This strict following of legal pre- cedent
might be proper now, if precedent had
been followed in the beginning. but it
was not. No point was then strained in
favor of Dr.. Brown; the point was
strained against him. He was suspended
Immediately, without the serving of
charges on him, merely on the MacBride
allegations. According to precedents in
such affairs, it was his right to have be-
fore suspension the charges now so tar
dily made against him, which, we noted,
bear little resemblance to the ground on
which DR.. Copeland severed him tenn
porarily from the cty's service.
This bears severely on DR.. Brown. But
it is not with his interests alone that the
public is concerned. If the hearing on
the charges is public, he may lie de-
pended on to take care of himself, even
without the aid of counsel to which fair
ness entities him. But what of the de-
cency and dignity of proceedings against
a public official, deemed to be innocent
of whatever is alleged against him, when
first he is thrown out of Office without
the serving of charges on him, and then,
after much delay, precedents are cited to
show that he may not have the fullest
rights of defence?
Not only is this course unfair to DR..
Brown, but it is an unfortunate thing
for the city administration. 1t savors
entirely too much of official lynching 1t
is entirely too reminiscent of the en-
deavor to oust all the expert heads Of
the Health Department bureaus, which
Fortunately outraged public opinion
stopped.

PEELED the government, with the aid Of
the Hindenburg coterie, to accent the

it deserves. Attack upon the private
lives of the ministers most offensive to
them is one of their latest methods Of
1lghtlng. The "Deutsche Zeitung," of

organ before the war, but which has

oouth German Radical, has contr;hn+ed
an article on the subject to the "Rer,;,o,.

pressed purpose of sowing dscord and
distrust between the government and the
highest military power. And he fears
that the internal struggle in Germanv

With all the means for publicity at his

A False Book

One named Andreas Latzko, said to
be an Austrian officer. has written five
morbid sketches. which are published by
Bon and Liveright as a book, entitled
"Mcn in War" Some have called it art.
On the green paper jacket is reprinted
notice from "The New York Evening
Mail,' in which it is described as a
poignant Interpretation of the effect of
war on human beings; and also one
from "The New York Evening Post" in
which it is appreciated as "artistic real
ISM" from which eve get total i'm
preston that is more complete than that
suggested b. Barbussc," who wrote
"Under Fire"
Whether it is art or not we cannot
presume to say. But it is an abomna-
bic book and ought not to circulate
Andreas Latzko is not at all interested
in the phenomenon of war. He is horri-
bly, fascinated by the spillng of blood,
and fcasts his. imagination upon the
anatomical details Of mutilation. At
the climax of his first piece two men take
turns at pulling spurred boot out of
another mans head; they chad to turn
1T and twist it until piece of the brain
came along-like roots pulled up-like
a Jellyfisf-a dead one-sticking to the
spur" Another piece ends with a man
dragging his entrails behind him." and
the effect of this upon a dying officer
who struggled heroically to raise his
head to see it, was that cit exulted him."
Another piece is about wounded man
who swelled until his skin burst. with
extremely disgusting consequences: an
other is about general who, on reading
rumors of peace in his newspaper, had
himself frantically driven to within
sound of the drumfire, where he thanked
God the war was still on: another
is about a man who went mad in a hos
ptal
We are not concerned with the psyche
pathlc condition of Andreas Latzko. It
is falrly obvious, and could be adequately
discussed only in scientific terms. But
1t is very remarkable that the product
OF his unwholesome neurosis should be
turned into a book and treated seriously

way. 1t is false in realism, because
men do not feel and fight and die like
this. Only an abnormal neurotic could
imagine such grisliness. 1t is false as
art-lf it be art at all-because il adds
painted horrors to realities alreadv SO
terrible that but for the miracle of the
souls supremacy they would be unen-
durable.
In Barbusse's book, "Under Fire"
there was here and there some dim per-
ceptlon of the infinite fact that men PASS
through Armageddon as through fire
that cannot touch them, and return not
only with all their true values intact.
but with even a greater tenderness than
before for the weak and defenceless
things of life. There is none of it in this
book. Therefore, it is false in the deep
est way OF all. 1t cannot conceivably do
any good. 1t could do lot of harm.

Memorial Day

lO-Oay we renew our 1alCn IN VeTlCleS
that cannot be proved.
1t is day, said the President in his
Memorial Day proclamation "already
freighted with sacred and stimulating
memories, day of public humiliation,
prayer and fasting"
He calls upon us to assemble in our
several places of worship to pray AL
mighty God that He may forgive us our
sins and shortcomings as a people, and
purify our hearts to see and love the
truth, "beseeching Him that He will
give victory to our arms as they fight for
American freedom, wisdom to those who
take counsel on our behalf in these days
of dark struggle and perplexity, and
steadfastness to our people to make sac
rifices to the utmost in support of what
is just and true"
We are religious people. We have
never forgotten how to pray. But there
are many ways to pray. Once the Greeks
sent Leonidas and handful of men to
hold the pass of Thermopyl@ against the
Persian hosts of Xerxes until they could
tiny holds for works with faith. 1t can
not be propitiated by rites alone. Xerxes
overcame the heroic defenders and Greece
was invaded.
Those of us who may will assemble to-
day in places of worship to pray on our
knees. But others will pray the prayer
that "maketh the hands to war and the
fingers to fight"
A new ship launched will be noble
prayer.
A record made by riveting gang will
be acceptable to the Power that presides
at the source of all those miracles hy
which we have been preserved and in
creased
Who knows but that in some crucial
moment yet to come the difference be-
tween an empty invocation and a potent
prayer will be not difference of faith
alone, but of twenty Liberty motors
more, one hundred machine guns on the
front, or ten thousand men one day
sooner at given place?
So every man to-day will pray accord
ing to his time and place and circun-
stance. If the dead seem to be neglected,
they will understand. We are going on
with what they did. They will know
why the character of Memorial Day has
: changed.

Williams, of Georgia, in letter to "The
Columbus (Georgia) Times," suggested
that April 26, 1866, be named as me-
mortal day "to wreathe the graves of our
martyred dead with flowers" That was
the beginning of beautiful custom. In
1868 General John A. Logan, comman-
der in chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, named May 80, 1868, as a dav
for decorating the graves Of the Unions
dead. He fixed that time because it was
the date on which the last Union volur-
teer was discharged.
That was only fifty years ago Slavery
had been abolished, the Union was rees-
tablished forever, and new freedom was
discovered. In the half century since we
