Worlds Intellectual Leader.

woodrow wilson, the man. though
respected and admired, never won any
large hold on the affections of the
American people. Woodrow Wilson. the
intellect, today is the dominating force
in the world. He is the recognized
spokesman for liberty-loving peoples
everywhere. No other mortal man
since the world began ever addressed
mind ever so impressed itself upon the
destinies of nations.
1t is a solemn. an awe-inspiring
eminence to which the American
President has attained. When he
speaks all mankind listens. His critics,
in Congress and elsewhere. may shout
till their lungs are bursting, but their
voices have not the carrying power of
whispers. At home and abroad the
voice of Woodrow Wilson is the voice
of America None other is able to at
tract to itself more than circumscribed
and inconsiderable attention.
That's why. when the President says
America has only begun to mobilize its
vast war resources. his words are so
portentous. IT. tsremoves, or should re-
move. any doubt any one anywhere
may have had that those resources will
be mobilized. 1t means America will do
all things necessary to be done to the
end that the enemy may be defeated. 1t
means that Congress must bow to his
he deems necessary to the winning of
the war.
The Presidents speech to Congress
Monday. coming as a climax to his
other speeches, marks the most gigan-
tic stride America has yet taken to-
ward effective participation in the war.
1t has made the issue so clear. SO un-
mistakable, so unacceptable. that all
men must understand there can be no
compromise between the principles for
which America has drawn the sword
and the spirit which rules Germany to-
day. And in making clear the irrecon-
cilable nature of the conflict. the
President has paved the way for the
taking of steps which it would have
been impossible to take SO long as
there remained the slightest doubt as
to the completeness of his leadership.

the manufacturers are exhibiting side

York. The New York Architectural
Leagues annual exhibition has, been
given new character this year by lay
ing special stress and emphasis on the
so-called building arts. The idea is
excellent. for art unrelated to the USE
full is essentially ephemeral, and more
art in our manufactures is essentially
the need Of the time.
It is not the artists who are voicing
this requirement, but the people. Last

Much pains and 4ime, as well as
money, was spent in getting up the

galleries have been elaborately draped
and reconstructed to represent rooms
of various periods and have been given
a most sumptuous air. but the result
is not all that might be desired. The
setting dominates the exhibits, and, in
spite of its elaboration. is rather
tawdry and artificial by the light of

Chance to Help Navy.

Any one who has a pair of good op-
era glasses or field glasses or spy
glass can lend it to the Navy with a
feeling of certainty that it will be put
to good use.
The United States. with all its wealth.
cannot buy a sufficient number of these
glasses to supply its naval vessels. and

New General Staff.

No one knows how the reorganiza-
ton in the War Department, as to the
general staff. will work out in practical
operation, for the order creating it is
not plain as to where the power of the
civilian Secretary ends and that of the
military staff begins. Regarded as a
military organization without author
ity, with no power to make and enforce
an order except in the name Of the
Secretary, and without responsibility
except in regard to the advice it gives
to the Secretary, it is an anomalous or
ganization that may be better than its
predecessor, and still be far from the
ideal general staff that organizes and
directs armies.
The addition of the war council as an
advisory factor complicates the situa-
ton and makes possible the state of af-
fairs that existed during the civil war.
when there was lack of harmony in the
relations between the Secretary of War
and what Upton called his aulic coun-
ell on the one hand and the officers in
command of the several federal armies
on the other. Without the union of
power and responsibility the best effact
cannot be obtained from a general staff.
However. the plan has advantages so
great over the old organization of the
general staff that there is no question
that it may be a great improvement
upon the scheme that it has superseded.

$]A fight" answered John Paul
Jones, when the commander
~ of the British sloop Scraps
asked the doughty captain
of the Bon Homme Richard if he had
struck his colors.
Couched in more elaborate phraseol-
ogy, President Wilson said substantial
ly the same thing last week to the Aus
foreign minister and
the German imperial chancellor. He
made it plain to all the world that
there would be no peace on Teutonic
terms until America had exhausted all
her resources in war; and mobilization
of those resources. he said, hardly had
begun.
The Presidents speech was as much
to America and her allies as it was to
the central empires There existed, not
only in the United States. but in the
allied countries. fatuous belief that
the speeches of Count Czernin and
Count Won Hertling. somehow or an
other. had opened the way to peace
Illfounded and nebulous as the belief
was. it was working harm 1t had
tendency to slow down war work.
President Wilson swept away the soph
istry and the cobwebs and barred the
issue to the understanding of common
men in every land. Neither United
States senators nor peasants on the
steppes Of Siberia now have excuse for
not knowing why America is at war.
The German emperor and the humblest
of his subjects now know upon what
terms peace may be obtained. France
and England and Italy are assured. if
such assurances were needed, that
America will withhold no man nor any
dollar needed to he.oyerthrow of Prus-

NEW "OVER-SEAS CAP"
ADDED TO EQUIPMENT
OF AMERICAN TROOPS

The "over-seas" cap now being is
sued to soldiers in the Expeditionary
Forces matches the uniform in color.
has a very low crown, and has no
brim or peak. 1t is made so that
It may be folded and carried in a
pocket.
When American forces entered the
trenches 1t was found that the brims
of their campaign hats interfered
with sighting through trench peri
scopes and that In the cases of tall
men the high crowns could be seen
above the parapets. The new cap is
so low that 1t permits the men to
move with practically the same free
dom as when they are hatless. The
trench helmet can be worn over 1t.
Only soldiers who have been with
the Expeditionary Forces wear the
cap. According to reports from
France new regulations provide that
officers shall wear their insignia OF
rank on the cap, and enlisted mel
place on It the button prescribed tt
be worn on the left side OF the collal
of the service coat.

Like all similar assertions of the

German submarine is responsible for
the fate of the LlandoVery Castle is
also probably incorrect. 1t appears
from later news that no one aboard
the steamer observed the U-boat or

To honor the passing of one or the
