The United States Demands
an Unconditional Surrender.
Il ONLY MEANS.

The impression is oDtaiEed that Germany will set
cold comfort out of President Wilson's answer OF last
night. 1t would seem to many that Mr.. Wilson. great
dialectician and polemic as he is. treads near the dan
ger line in discussing with Germany questions of peace
policy when as much as he has said could be demanded
in two words, unconditional surrender" The presi-
dents notes are marvels of statecrafI but ONE DOES
NOT STOP TO ARGUE WITH A A DOG.
In his New York speech of September - the presi
dent characterized he German government a the most
faithless of all governments and said that he COULD
NOT ENTER INTO NEGOTIATION OR COVENANT
WITH 1T. That was a safe principle of diplomacy, yet
IN directing a note of inquiry to Germany he departed
from that very principle. The German government is a
living government, a thieving government, and a murder
ing government. and VIII WOULD STOP TO BE sPE-
MURDERER?
There is no question that President Wilson's head
and heart are right, his intention clear as crystal his
reasoning sound as a bell, but we should have liked
curter and fewer words. President Wilson never said
anything truer than these words which the world VIII
never forget:
We are all agreed that there can be no peace
obtained by any kind of bargain or compromise
with the governments of the central empires because
We have dealt with them already and have seen them i.
deal with other governments that were parties 10 this
struggle. at Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest. They
have convinced us that they are without honor and
do not intend justice. They observe no covenants,
accept no principle but force and their own inter
est. We cannot come to terms with them. They
have made it impossible
LET US HAVE NO TERMS WITH RMA
EXCEPT UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.

RICE PUDDING WITH PLUMs.

We imported 4%56,o00,ooO pounds Of rice into this
country during the fiscal year 1918. compared with about
100000 pounds in normal times under protection. As
rice is a Southern product the Democrats were a little
careful not to put it on the free list. as they did Northern
wheat. but put a duty on it of one cent a pound, thanking
goodness now, probably, that they didn't throw it into
the free list. Yet the slight cut they made must have
encouraged the Orient considerably. for the rice dealers
over there have made such a drive for the American
market that they are having rice riots now in Japan
because the people are sold out of their staple food
However, the Southern growers have found another way
TO skin the cat. and they have recently succeeded in
inducing our War Trade Board to prohibit further i'm
portations of rice into this country on the plea that this
very nourishing and much relished article Of diet takes
up too much cargo space in vessels plying between the
Orient and America. As We are not eXacting any APP
preciable amount OF military tonnage from Pacific cargo
carriers. this plea is rather amusing, but the embargo
will undoubtedly have its effect in securing for the rice
growers a larger price for their product. They can
afford TO shake hands with the cotton crowd. and il is
fingers to the nose for the northern wheat growers.

CHILD LABOR.

Felix Frankfurter-gee he ought 10 change that
nnme-chairman of the War Labor Policies Board, an
nounces that the policy Of the board as to child labor
is as follows:
in war work.
No child between "a and Is years Of age shall be
employed more than eight hours a day nor before s
O'Clock a. m. nor after Z o'clock p. M, nor more than
six days a week, on war materials.
How does this affect the decision of the United
States Supreme Court on June 8 last that the federal
labor law was unconstitutional and invalid?
That decision, which was even regretted by Presi-
dent Wilson, was received with unholy glee by un-
scrupulous manufacturers. who were described as in
a hurry to get the children back to work"
To the layman it occurs that everything being pro
duced TODAY is war work.

INFLUENZA AGAIN.

Physicians say that the influenza need not be feared
If we do not become too fearful of it and if we take
reasonable precautions against it. Every cold you now
contract, every headache you have, every sudden rise
in temperature. every sneeze, every cough and every
feeling Of chiliness is not a sign that you have the
disease. If that were true there would scarcely be a
man. woman or child out Of. bed in the course of a week.
But if you imagine one or more of these symptoms con-
stitutes the dread disease. maybe it will On the other
hand, any of these may give rise 10 the suspicion-but
only the bare suspicion, mind you-that you are ap

A PILLAR OF SUPPORT.

1t is gratifying to read in dispatches from Europe
that Samuel Gompers is uncompromising in his attitude
toward the war. This is just what people who know
Gompers would expect. And the announcement will be
reassuring to the American people. Next to Colonel
House and George Creel, Gompers is the man who is
supposed to have most influence with President Wilson
With Gompers an outspoken opponent of compromise,
there is reason to believe that the President will not
waver.

Forced to speak English.

Magistrate W. Bruce Cobb. who is a

istrate yesterday a plea for the Ameri-
canization of foreigners who do business
with the courts. The many arraignments
In the Traffic Court recently OF persons
who could not read or write the English
language prompted the effort of Magis-
trate Cobb.
II think that the experience of officials

language, is responsible for much Of the
Misunderstanding. disloyalty. crime and
social discomfort on the part of very
considerable portion OF our population"

great number OF polyglot signs in public
offices and places may even be a mis-
taken kindness, for, II by that means
we make II easier for the foreigner to

law might be amended to male any

alleging Irregularities In accounting for
the fusion campaign fund Of the late
Mayor Mitchell for reelection.
He was registered and his pedigree"
taken In the Tombs, where Mr.. Childs
had chosen his self-inflicted incarcera-
ton. previously prepared writ Of
habeas corpus was signed by him there
and he was produced Immediately before
Supreme Court Justice Finch, who pa
rolled him In the custody OF his counsel,
John B. Stanchfeld.
Mr.. Childs had surrendered himself
according to information from the Dis
trict Attorneys office. to take advantage
Of an opinion recently handed down by
the Appellate Division to. the effect that
indictments found by the extraordinary
Grand Jury could not be prosecuted be-
cause they were illegally found. owing
to the fact that newspaper had failed
to publish properly the order of Cover
nor Whitman converting the Grand Jury.
Counsel for Mr.. Childs contended that
the District Attorney now has no juris-
diction in the case because It Is a matter
for the civil courts and not a matter for
criminal prosecution. Justice Finch has

New York city does not intend to
build any high schools until after the

necessary structures for the elementary
schools. In a letter to Bernard Baruch,
chairman OF the priorities committee of
the War Industries Board. Mayor Hylan
said yesterday:
81 regret to be obliged to appeal to
YOU in the matter OF the construction
Of new elementary school buildings In
the city of New York. The people OF
tho city are entitled to and must have
sufficient schools to house the children
properly and give them elementary
education. 1t will be a grave mistake
for your board not to release materials
sufYicient TO construct the needed schools.
] can assure you that we do not intend
to construct new high schools or schools
of any character except for elementary
education until the war Is over"
