The test of whether 1t is
possible for United States
and Austria to go on compar-
ing views is simple, as the
principles to be applied are;
Il. Each part of the fin
al settlement must be based
upon essential justice to
bring a permanent peace.
20. Peoples and prov
inces are not to be bartered
about like chattels to estab-
fish a balance of power.
80. Territorial settlements
must be for the benefit OF
people concerned and not
merely adjustment of rival
. states claims.
"a. Well defined national
aspirations must be accorded
. all possible satisfaction.

Babies Rich and Babies Poor

The interview with DR.. Josephine Bak-
er on the Institute page of Sundays
Tribune had in it facts which we hope
every mother who read took deeply to
her heart. Ten years ago, before DR..
Baker began her work as the head of the
Bureau of Child Hygiene in New York
City, the majority of deaths under one
year was among the foreign population,
Which comprises the poorest of the
city In an analysis made in 1916 it
was shown that the deaths among the
children born of American parents are
now nearly twice that, per thousand,
of those of Italian, Russian or Austro-
hungarian parents. "The pendulum
has swung the other way"
But this is not all. "Who but the
wealthiest women" asked DR.. Baker,
ARE under the care of trained nurse
during the entire period of motherhood"
The poorest! "Who but the babies of
the very rich are weighed and examined
by experts every week during the first
year of life? The babies of immigrants
and the very poor" That is to say. the
poorest people of New York City have
to-day as good care as the children OF
the richest folk. 1t is the children of
the great in-between population, who will
not or can not pay for the best medical
care and who refuse to avail them
selves of the free clinics, among whom
the mortality of the infants is highest.
1t seems to us this is an eYtrornoI,,
significant fact. 1t is kind of collec-
tive or social effort that is most needed
Perhaps in time large part of the med
lcal profession will come into the SER
vice of the state, or, if you prefer, of the
municipalities and communities. That
IS the obvious path to the universal in

administration it will be almost jmpos-
sible to grant them what they ask with
out granting more money to the police
men, the street cleaners, the nurses in
the Health Department, the school teach
crs and many other city employees plnched
between small salaries and high living
costs. To make these increases would
mean big jump in the tax rate, which,
in turn, would mean vast unpopularity
and unlimited trouble for the city ad-
ministration.
Yet there is way out, if the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment will take
ito cut out needless jobs and needless
expenditures and to use the savings for
raising the citys wage scale. If the for
nation of this union helps to bring that

The Czecho-Slovak Romance

Every brief bulletin out of Russia
ADDS color to the romantic adventure of
the Czecho-Slovaks. Their exploits read
like chapter from Plutarch or Herod-
otus. The retreat of Xenophon's Ten
Thousand was no more heroic than the
campaign which the Szecho- o-Sloyaks
nave been conducting in Siberia and
Eastern Russia.

Allied inaction from touch with the
outer world. William T. Sherman
showed his genius as a strategist when
ne broke communications with the North
and set out on his famous march from
Atlanta to the sea. Everybody won

marching toward new communications
Inc Czecho-Slovaks never severed their
communications. They didn't have anv
TO sever. Nor are they travelling tow
ard new ones. They have ALWAYS been
isolated. They must play their owl,
hand and subsist on the resources of
the territory through which they move.

Yet they never finch Not satisfied

railway from the Urals to Lake Raikal

steadily pushing west into Russia proper
lhey nave just taken Kazan, big
manufacturing and trade centre on the
hazanka River, near the latter's CON-
tluence with the Volga. Kazan is
clearing house for trade between old
Russia and Siberia. Its possession
brings the Czecho- -Sovaks close to tho
oorders OF Great Russia and opens wider
way OF communication for them down
the Volga with the province of the Don
Cossacks, which has always been focns
OF resistance to German invasion and to
the Teutonized Bolshevist government at
Moscow. '''
The Czecho-Slovaks are soldiers Of
singular resourcefulness They have or

RUSSIAN force. Thus the Allies owe to
the Czecho-Slovaks not only anti German
control OF the Siberian railroad, but the
creation of nucleus of an anti-Ger-
man Russian army.

ers OF cause which they have cheer

A Brave Son

There will be few Americans not to
feel the deepest of sympathy and a keen
personal sorrow over the death of Qucn-
tin Roosevelt. The son of his father, he
could not but be true and dauntless
American. His death in the skies of
France, fighting for his country, sums
up all there is of human bravery. Such
combat is the utmost of stout-hearted
courage, of swift skill, of devoted sacri-
fee. There is surely no more fitting
death for Roosevelt
1t is a proud record that the Colonel
and his family show in the war. Every
effort was made by the Colonel to fgh5
himself And, denied that wish, he has
fought the fight for Americanism and
the vigorous prosecution of the war as
only he can fight. Of the Colonel's four
sons, all at the front, Theodore has been
gassed and Archie has been wounded
both have been decorated by the French.
The Colonel purposes to fulfil his en-
gagement to speak at the Saratoga con-
vention to-day. That is an act and an
example that might be expected Of him.
One is reminded Of the Colonels greatest
speech, that in opening the Progressive
campaign in this city. "Spend and be
spent" was the motto which he put for
ward as his personal faith, the ideal
manner of all living. And the words
come home now with fresh and poignant
meaning.
1t is the lesson which all America
needs to learn in the war and will be the
better and braver for learning. Without
willing sacrifice, without the swift offer
ing of all one has in the cause of right,
there can be no strength of soul, no life
worth the living. Such death as that
of Quentin Roosevelt is grievous loss.
But let US not lose sight of the fact that
it makes for truth and honor and right
as scores of years of living seldom can.
Americans expect much of the Colonel,
and he has never disappointed them. He
is setting to-day the example of courage
and steadfastness that all of US must fol-
low. In return he has a nations svm
pathy and affection and prayers.

The Firemen's Union

Following the example of fire fighters
IN many other cities, the $500 members

OF a law putting into effect an eight

for years.
1t is not to be expected that the Hvlan
administration will take kindly to this
move, which is both important and sig
nifcant. But it will be extremely dificult
to fight it. The National War Labor
Board has expressly affirmed the right
Of workers to unionize and to bargain
collectively through chosen representa-
tives. If this is good doctrine for in
dustrial workers, it is hard to see whv
it should not be extended to public en-
ployes, as the firemen have determined it
should be. No threat of strike is con-

the Democratic party in New York City

have to purge itself of its evil taints
Let the Republican party make an
issue of the fact that members of the

with Arthur Brisbane, who is suggesting

ANTI American elements in the country,
under pretence of supporting the war.
Let it make an issue of the fact that
Tammany is flirting with candidate for
Governor of New York State whose dis
loyal newspapers are being destroyed all
over the country in bonfires.
Let it make an issue of the fact that
the Democratic Administration does not
interfere in this sinister distraction, but
leaves people to infer what they will

of revolution are hailed as patriots on

Saratoga is the threshold of an his

Will the Republican party support the
war or embrace victory? That is the
only issue.
Will it say what victory means and
what it will cost and cast the truth upon
the people?
Will it write platform with no twi-
light edges?
Will it have the strength and courage
to say the things which only a great
party, sure of its faith, can say at this
time, regardless of any consequences?
If SO, it will come into it's own again,
true partisanship will be restored to it's
