Our Soldiers in England

1t is one more item of good will in the
world war that British committee is
planning to entertain American soldiers
in England. From the House of Com
mons down hospitality is offered on the
widest scale. Private homes will enter
tain American wounded and men on
leave, in addition to the more formal and
public expressions of welcome.
The chairman of the British commit
tee frankly and sensibly conceded that
there had existed barriers between the
two nations, and urged that the present
was rare opportunity to break down
these barriers and found lasting union
of the Anglo-Saxon nations This home
hospitality will supplement in appealing
fashion the understanding already begun
on the battlefield Fighting shoulder to
shoulder with our British allies is cer-
tain to give our men new comprehen-
sion Of British character.
The British plan is we'll worth Ameri-
can attention, too. for it's suggestion Of
neglected work here. We are doing
much for our soldiers and sailors in an
institutional way. Are we not neglecting
the possibility of home hospitality? 1t

NF COURSE I was much disappointed
~ in the verdict of the jury in the
Prayer case. Prayer was hanged
because Of suspicion of his disoyalty to
the government Patriotism was the guise
worn by the perpetrators Of the crime. The
jury seemed to think that it could best
show its own loyalty by condoning the
crime of those who claimed to act in the
name of loyalty. The result was lamen-
table failure of justice. This failure of
the jury to perform its sworn duty only
emphasizes the absolute necessity that pub
lie officials, Federal we'll as state and
municipal and all aw-abiding and law-lov-
ing citizens should make it their first con-
Germ that order be maintained in all matters
growing out Of the war, to The end that
such disgraceful proceedings as the lynch
ing of Prayer be prevented in the future
The Federal officials within the state must
see to it that every charge of dsloyalty or
sedition be promptly investigated and that
the guilty be vigorously and severely pun
ished. The local officials must see to it, not
after the event, as in the Prayer case, but
before, LndL IHODS DC uiSPSAoSu ofN f~NA
ished before they have chance to wreak
their vengeance. If juries will not convict
in cases like this, the local authorities must
prevent them from occurring. If in any
community they fail in the discharge of
this plain duty, nothing remains but to de-
clare martial law in such community.
do not mean by this that the state au-
thorities will for q moment relax their
efforts in the prosecution of all who offer
violence to the orderly administration of
the law under whatever pretext such v1o-
lence may be done. Juries may fail to do
their duty in these cases, but the state
authorities will continue to do theirs Even
though they should know that prosecutions
will not result in conviction they Will con-
tinue to prosecute with all the vigor they
possess.
The Department of Justice has now as
signed representative to cooperate with
the state government in the prosecution of
all persons charged with treason or sedi-
ton Any who may know of such guilty
persons should bring their knowledge to
the attention of the authorities in Spring
field Investigation will be promptly made
and, if the facts warrant, punishment will
be meted out There is, therefore, no ex-
cuse for any man any body of men to
take the law into their own hands.
Democracy is trial Every activity of
a mob is an assault upon the very principle

of New York above ground that goodness
knows how it can all be accommodated
in cellars, however hard the sirens blew.
Will apartment landlords advertise their

'When | Was a Boy"

When the boys and girls Of to-day are
grown old they will have to regale their
youngsters with tales of the Great War,
then distant memory. What will they
remember? Well, we should like to be-
lieve that they will find fresh in their
minds such heroic episodes as General
Joffre's arrival and the Presidential mes
sages. But we fear not-because, un-
fortunately, children are amazingly like
grown-ups, and goodness knows what
casual odds and ends of facts insist upon
sticking to our minds while the climaxes
Of the ages fit blithely in one eye and
out the other!
Daylight saving, for instance. "The
Great War? Yes, / can distinctly re-
member how hard it was at first to 90 to
sleep in broad daylight at 8 o'clock at
night" we can hear some elderly parent
assert in 1875. "Didn't they always
change the clocks, father?" ETC., ETC. We
shall all become used to daylight saving
in time, for it has evidently come to stav.
But its effects are still terrific, for all
ages, children and parents, especially
not forgetting the beautiful young debu-
tante who deeply resented the whole meas
ure because it sent one out to dinner by
daylight and it was impossible to do a.
complexion that would look well both by
day and by night.
Aeroplanes will be so frequent in 1875
that nobody will pay any attention to
Of A
aviation camps children no longer crook
neck to look at them. A horse and
wagon are far more startling. But the
noise of the aeroplane is not so easily
accepted. Children still toss about at
night and when nurse puts her head in
the door have the excuse ready: 'I can't
sleep with all those aeroplanes up there"
A bad noise it is, filing every chink of
the air for miles around, more of a vhra-
tion than noise, really, a throbbing
that beats on ones pillow, however many
thousand feet aloft. ''ln those DAYS. YOU
see, aeroplanes didn't have to have muf
flers." we hear grandfather explaining in
his "reminiscences Of the Great War.
The cellar most of us have not yet re-
verted to, but it seems likely to be feat
ured some day soon in our lives here
very much as abroad. "What is a cellar?
Have we CELLAR" are natural queries
on the lips of the apartment house hope
ful to-day. And in the near future we
picture careful mothers leading their
offspring W the hand and exploring the

Circumstances

1t is physically possible to establish
an Eastern front, even though it were
only somewhere in Siberia" That does
not require to be argued.
1t is possible also that the Administra-
ton is right in believing that the polit-
ical and moral risks are very great, per-
haps even prohibitive. But that remains
to be said in a final manner
The situation as it stands is negative.
The American government has declined
to give its sanction to an Allied military
enterprise in Russia. Therefore, nobody
can act, because the moral support of the
American government is politically essen
tial. But the American government has
not said that it will not ultimately assent.
Therefore there is still hope that prac-
tical counsels will prevail.
Meanwhile there is an acute attack Of
that anxious uncertainty which arises in
general from the fact that we lack po-
litical unity on our side of the war. Mill
tary unity has been achieved under Cen
eral Foch; but military, industrial and
political factors are as inseparable as the
three sides of a triangle. There cannot
be an effective plan of war by virtue Of
unity on one side alone.
Great Britain, France and Italy have
found way to fuse their thoughts.
There is Political Council, mainly CON-
posed of Lloyd George, Clemenceau and
Orlando, Premiers, respectively, of the
three countries. The United States, now
the dominant partner, is not equally rep
resented. We do not directly participate
in foreign political councils.
The weakness of the Allies is that
there is no way of laying down a pro-
gramme far ahead, as the Germans do,
and pursuing it steadily to the logical
end. No technique has been evolved for
doing so. We have not even realized the
problem clearly.
In the larger sense there is no Allied
plan for winning the war-no great
world plan.
We allow circumstances to oblige de-
cisions. The Germans often create the
circumstances.

The Spirit
Unifes

AS your ships are launched hope that
discussion will proceed on these lines of
mutual arrangement. 1t would be pity if
we were to spend our time comparing ton
mage and constructional plants. Such COM
parisons are apt to suggest to the thought
less that we are out for getting or retai
ing business, whereas on both sides what
people are talking about and suffering for
is their genuine passion to save the weak.
Whatever money is made in anv Allied
country will be needed TO help other coun-
tries. If that spirit unites US I can see
no reason why there should be the slight
est restlessness in Great Britain even over
so delicate g matter as the future of the
carrying trade, in which we have always
been SO deeply interested.

Peru Sails In

Peru's seizure of German merchant
shipping interned at Callao is oppor-
tune. It adds $4,000 tons to the Allied
resources. 1t much more than offsets
the tonnage destroyed in the German
submarine raids on our Atlantic coast.
The U-boat's task is unending 1t cannot
clear the seas. Replacement follows
hard on destruction. Soon the balance
will be against the destroyer. The mil
tary failure of the submarine stands out
decisively in the fact that by July or
July l5 the United States will have
sent to Europe an army of 100000
men.

Not So Sure

10 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Senator Reed, Of Missouri. delivered
an able and eloquent speech in the Senste
on Tuesday against the proposed change in
the rules. The following extract from "Tbe
Congressional Record" is worth consider
ing:

the United States that it must cbanoe

Military Experts
"a N ANY of the military experts" who
(From The VillUger)

ations for us should either stay
more closely within their province or go
considerably beyond it. If they must talk
about victory or defeat they should either
narrow their concentrations down to the
strictly military situation or broaden them
out to include great deal more than the
Western front. From the first day of the
1918 offensive the strategy specialists and
their troop of disciple editors have persist
entity misled the public by their vague de-
scrption of the Western drive as Germany's
supreme effort. They meant, perhaps, to
say supreme military effort" but the fail
ure to distinguish has helped breed up the
exceedingly dangerous notion that the bal
ance of the war swings in the battle now
going forward in France; that if Germany
loses there she loses all. For two months
before the opening of her offensive Ger
many labored increasingly to make us be-
lleve this. Evidently sure enough of opin-
ion at home to risk any temporary msun-
derstandlngs, her propagandists deluged us
last February with speeches and editorials
and prophecies, all designed to fix our ewes
SO intently on the Western front that what
along the shores of the Baltic should escane
our scrutiny. Must we continue, by our in
doence and our hort-sightedness, to assist
their effort? A great many people who
ought to know better are settling back in
the easy feeling that the Eastern situation
may very we'll be left, as one forceful COM
mentator has put it, to stew in it's own
juice; but no graver error could be made.
1T may be true, as is often glbly said, that
victory will be decided in the West, but the
measure of that victory will be in the East.
Some of our newspaper editors and few of
our public leaders are expressing an ever
deepening consciousness of this fact and
the sign is most encouraging But the pub
lie must lend the force of it's opinion; its
indifference might cost the Allied cause
dear.

Fair
Riualry

The argument for rivalry is, of course,
quite simple. Unless you sink your ships
after the war they will obviously compete
with other ships for cargo. On this
would only say that Great Britain will also
compete. 1t will be fair and square and no
i'll feeling on either side. If your ships
are better than ours and run more cheapIy
and safely, you will get the business;
otherwise we shall get the business And
for some years, at any rate, there will be
more than enough business for both of u.s.
Both sides will have to consider costs of
material, of labor, of coal, Of wages for
crew, of insurance. The cheapest and best
ship will have the lowest charges for capi-
tai expenditure, depreciation and insur-
ance. You are assembling parts of ships
for fabrication. So are we. You have
rveting competitions, and we have them
also. Unfortunately your Mr.. Schwab is
monopoly. But we have others.

is sung more frequently in America out of
compliment to England than in England
herself. What we want is an international
authority for the sea. Every ship that
behaves herself should fly an international
flag and should be defended by LEAGUE of
navies That would apply to French and
Italian and Japanese ships as we'll as to
British and American ships, and to the
Pacific Ocean as we'll as to the Atlantic
Ocean. No ships should be allowed to use
ports which does not fly the flag. And
every ship flying the flag would have to
obey certain regular code of navigation.
In construction it would have to conform
to certain laws of safety which would de-
termine the amount and disposition of its
cargo, the number of its passengers, the
provision of lifeboats, life belts. rockets
and wireless apparatus, and the supply of
food for the crews. Such regulations
would win the support of labor ali over the
world and would remove many grievances
among seamen.

Enough for
All

Some people think that the United States
and Britain will fall out over commercial
matters and cut each others throat We
have np wish to cut any American throat,
and we intend to protect our own. There
is no need for Germany'to lose her temper
on our behalf 1t will do us no end of
good to train for boat races with American
crews. We shall watch your swing and
style, and if it rules the waves we shall
learn it ourselves-when doubtless you will
go one better Whether our mercantile
marine is bigger or smaller than yours
doesn't matter one iota to human happ-
ness The point is that we want a reason
able share-as much as we deserve, and
no more. We must have that number of
ships, because we need employment for our
people and revenue with which to pay in
terest on the money which you have kindly
lent US. You may take it that we shall
deny ourselves every conceivable luxury
and tax ourselves heavily for years to come
IN order to rebuild our commercial fort
unes. Last year the number of automo-
biles sold in England for private purposes
was four-that is. one every three months.
Personally I quite happy about this
business, because I do not believe in the
theory that commerce is rivalry It is
mutual service. No country can grow in
wealth without sharing that wealth with
other countries, and the poverty of one
country makes other countries poor. If we
have money to spend in England we shall
want American goods. AS our industries
recover shall order American machinery
As we manufacture we shall sell goods to
you, and ships will be needed to carry
them All we ask is that you treat us just
as you treat everybody else, and we know
that will be SO.

The Narrou
Places

How far such countries should be asked
to give up to an international authority
strategic points like the Suez Canal, Glib
raltar or Panama is question obviously
raising grave issues, especially for Great
Britain, and to some extent for the United
States also. We in England do not like
the phrase freedom of the seas" because
in our opinion it suggests that in the past
we have used our naval power to limit that
freedom, which is really not true All ma
tlons have been entirely free to use all
our ports and coaling stations.
On principle there is nothing to be said
against international control of Gibraltar
and Suez, but to what extent does this
mean bringing in Germany? Is it not
better to proceed in this matter step bv
step? Great Britain will be quit, ready
imagine, to give guarantee that all strate
gic ports and waterways under her control
shall be open to international commerce as
freely as before the war, and similar
declaration might be given by all countries
belonging to the union in respect of their
own strategic places.
