Now That the Kaiser Is Here

sit at home and shiver than to go
down to business and sweat.
"Yes, sir, the Emperor is with us
every waking moment. 1t took quite
a long time for him to get over here,
but he has Arrived, bag and baggage.
And he has established personal re-
lations with each one of us. We
are having extensive dealings with
him, and we are not finding the rela-
tionship very satisfactory. He's a
domineering, dictatorial nuisance.
He's also extravagant. His present
schemes have cost about seventy-fiYe
! billion dollars and four or five mil
lion lives. He is the bull-headed pro-
moter type that gets in wrong-and
! hang the expense! There's nothing to
be done but to get rid of him. II we
let him have his way now he will
go right on rocking the boat. He
loves authority, likes to boss. Give
| him rope and there will be more
wars-and plenty of them. 1t will
be one big scrap after another.
Uncle Sam has set out to fire this
man. And we agree that the thing
must be done. So when they come
around to you this spring for contri-
buttons to the Liberty Loan or the
War Savings fund or the Red Cross
or the Y. M. c. A.. rake and scrape
every penny you can find and put it
in toward finishing up the job.
"All join in the chorus-W- f
DON'T WANT T-H-I-S GUY!
We have had a taste of him-and
we don't like his work. We may
have been monkeys once. The scien-
lists tell us we were. But let's not
allow this kind of a specimen to
lmake monkeys of us again."

YOUR LAD AND MY LAD

Your lad and my lad; can it be these
In dusty khaki and quaint puttees,
In sailor blouse and uniform,
In street and trolley, in sun and
storm,
Are the boys we called ours but yes
terday.
Whom we thought but fit for school
and play?
Your lad and my lad; whose are they
then.
Who have heard the call for a ma
tion's men,
Who have left the college and desk
and shop
And the seeded field for a grimmer
crop
The belching forge and the dark
some mime
Tell me, pray, are they my boys and
thine?
Your lad and my lad; at first they
took
Their strange new garb with a sheep
ish look.
Or a strut and a swagger that did
betray
They were only boys at soldier play.
But a light in the eye and turn of
the head
I mark when I catch a firm new
tread.
Your lad and my lad; whose did you
say?
Not yours and mine? New born in a
day,
With the chrism of love on each
young brow,
Ours, our 6ountry's, humanity's
now?
The spirit has burst through the
crust of the clod
And their eyes have the shine of the
Sons of God.
Your lad and my lad; o Christ, m3
Kingl
We come the richest oblation tc
bring.
Not for death, but for the life and
the great TO-BE.
Our boys we offer as God gave Thee.
At the foot of Gods altar stairs VIZ
bow:
oh, take them and crown them will

M'ADOO, A TYPE

IVY E used to know McAdoo, now
wv Secretary of the Treasury, as
one of the big Business"
crowd and the yellow magazines and
the yellow newspapers warned us es
to what We might expect from such
as he. We shuddered, yes indeed
we did, when he was elevated to the
Secretaryship of the Treasury. Here
was one from the very citadel Of the
Financial Forces" the very center
of Wall Street, with all the wealth
and treasure of the nation placed al
his disposal.
We had been taught to look with
suspicion upon McAdoo. 1t was In-
ferred, if not directly charged that
he was not to be trusted; that he
was a man of much wealth and large
financial connections, and. therefore,
must be hand in glove with the aw-
full trusts and their unscrupulous
manipulators.
Now we know that Mr.. McAdoo is
neither worse nor better than the
average run of Americans. He is
just as patriotic and just as honest
as the people whose servant he is
and he is unquestionably serving the
nation to the very best of his ability
The Telegraph holds no brief fol
Mr.. McAdoo. His political view,
and those of this newspaper are dia.
metrically different. But McAdoo i.
a type of American business mar
wrongly held up to public suspicion
and censure. He is a conspicuous
example of the great services Ibis

ton in this crisis. For that reasor
his case is worth mention.

HERO OF THE STOKEHOLD
[From the Youths companionl

From the Youths Companion
In the fall of 1916, when the
American liner st. Louis steamed
into the danger zone off Nantucket
Island-where a German submarine
had recently been seen-a wireless
message warned her that German
raider and probably German sub
marines were lying in her path. The
captain, on the bridge, Immediately
signaled to the engineer and to the
fire hold for full speed ahead with
forced draft.
The passengers and the crew on
deck had a chance to SEQ and gauge
the risks. but down in the stokehold
the signal was merely a message of
impending doom. If the vessel re-
ceived q mortal injury the stokers
had little chance of escape, and they
knew it. For them it was a rush of
water or the bursting of a boiler,
scattering death and destruction in
a frightful form. But upon the fire.
men rested the chance of the vessel
to escape her hidden foes; and so
they bravely fed the fires. The man
who faces and fights his foe in the
open often forgets death in the heat
of battle, but the man who must
fight in the dark suffers agony of
mind.
William O'Hare was one of the
silent heroes of the stokehold. When
the signal came and the st. Louis
began to race through the passage
he and his comrades knew what it
meant. Straining every nerve and
muscle they shoveled coal into the
furnaces under the boilers, knowing
that the roar of the forced draft
might be a dirge for them. O'Hare
set the pace, and protested against
giving up when he became exhaust
ed. His comrades had to pull him
away from the furnaces, and few
hours later he died Of overexertion.
At noon on the following Sunday he
was buried at sea. Even II the i'm
pending danger was not great, he
gave his life to save others as surely
as any hero ever did.

business and the war, It sis quite evi-
dent that the one big important
factor in bringing victory will be the
genius of our big business organiza-
tions in handling efficiently and
economically the necessary resources
Of the country" and It is refreshing
to observe that the nation apparently
is awakening to the serious effects
of hampering the normal develop
ment Of our industries by unjustifl-
able criticism and by restrictive and
injurious legislation.
Along this line, Charles E. Hughes
himself as vigorous an opponent OF
dishonesty in business as the coun-
try has ever known. in an address:
before the New York Bar associa.
ton, had this to say:
Is IL too much to expect that
we shall have saner attitude
toward business, toward the
necessary activities which afford
the basis of progress. toward or
ganization of industry, of trans
portation, of labor? Now that we
nave u real HBnt on our nanuSs
demanding the organization and
direction of all our resources of
men and things. can we not learn
to distinguish the real evils from
the bogies of the imagination?
hope that the days devoted to the
application of the uncertainties
of such statutes as the Sherman
act are numbered. May we not
hope for a better appreciation
and a more precise definition of
- i
to find that the very cooperation
which the nation finds necessary
for its own economic salvation
under the strain of war is de-
nounced as a crime in time OF
peace.
It is no nearer the truth to sa,
that all big business men are dis
honest than it is to say that all small
business men are honest. We can
not afford to fout big business, fol
to its representatives must be lef
the problem of handling the re
sources of the country during the
war. It would be folly to take thai
task from men who have built oul
industries to their present efficient
form and entrust it to mere tyros
If the war is to be prosecuted src-
cessfully there must not only be nc
shortage in production, but rather
an increase. By the skill and pa
triotism of big business men the
world will be made safe for demo
cracy and industry and in the period
of reconstruction that follows the
war big business must as certainly
come in for its fair consideration al
the hands of the national govern
ment, as labor and small industry
undoubtedly will, for a share of the
benefits that peace and prosperity
will bring.

UNFAIR
INew York Timeal

lNcW 10TH 1lInVSl
The government officially makes
known the fact that the Army has
more than 100000 Smiths. of whom
1900 are william Smiths. 1000 are

Smiths. There are 1000 John
Browns. 1900 John Johnstons. l.
040 George Milers, and 262 John ].
O'Briens, ''of whom fifty have wives
named Mary"
The government cites this as q
reason why applicants for govern
ment soldiers insurance should sign
their full names
But it will strike almost every
body else that It is also a reason why
the War Department should not per-
sist in its foolish and unintention-
ally cruel policy OF announcing only
the name of a killed or wounded
soldier, without giving the place of
his enlistment.
OF these, 1900 william Smiths ii
is reasonably sure that at least one
will be killed or wounded or die OF
disease before the war is over. His
family will be grief-stricken by the
news when it comes.
Why should the families of the
other 1,499 William Smiths also suf-
fer the tortures of anxiety and
doubt because the War Department
refuses to give the place Of the dead
or injured William Smiths enlist
ment?
The War Department replies that
they will not suffer these tortures,
because they will have perfect con-
fidence that the infallible bureau of
the War Department would have
notified them il it had been their
William Smith. and that the infal-
lible Post Office or the infallible
telegraph office would have forward
ed the notification. But this is not
true.
Human beings are not made that
way; and it is with human beings
the War Department is dealing. not
with Martians or inhabitants of the
moon
