done.

Editorial Opinion
A HAZARDOus DISTINCTION

From the New York Tribune.
In the Presidents proclamation put
ting women enemy aliens on the same
footing as men enemy aliens, the for
mer illogical ad sentimental distinction
between German subjects and Austro-
Hungarian subjects reappears.
What makes an Austrian or Hunga-
rian enemy, per SO, les dangerous than
German enemy2 Male Germans arc
segregated from male Austrians and
Hungarians. The latter are classified as
sheep. the former as goats. Now Ger.
man women are to be similarly segre-
gated from Austrian and Hungarian
women.
This classification implies that all
Germans react In Ony way 10 the state
OF war and all Austrlans and Hunga-
rians react Ia an entirely different wsv.
Such an assumption Is at odds with
human nature.
It is true that certain Of the subject
races OF the Dual Monarchy have little
or no loyalty 10 It. But Austrians Of
German blood and most Hungarians arc
violent partlsans OF the Teutonic ALI
ance. They ought TO be, II they are
blndly patriotic. Prince Lichnowsky's
recently printed analysis Of German
Austrian policy before the war GER
tainly shows that Berlin supported
Austro-Hmgarian aims just as much
rs Vienna played the game OF the pan
Germans.
No sound distinction can be drawn
