sort of thing, and Mr.. Wilson is no
exception. He gently reminds the
well-meaning artist that in this coun-
try the military power is always con.
trolled by the civil power, and It is a
good thing for the chief executive,
even while exercising the supreme
military authority. to emphasize that
principle by wearing the usual civil.

Our president does not need a mag

than he needs crown or a royal

PESTiLENCE

The most alarming news that has
come out of Russia lately is not po-
litical or military, but hygienic.
Worse than Boshevikisn, worse than
anarchy, worse than German domina-
tion. according to the popular view at
least, is pestilence. Cholera Is said to
be rampant in Moscow and else
where. Typhus and smallpox are
gaining headway too, as might be ex-
pected in country where scores of
millions are underfed, and sanitation
is In a worst state than ever.
Cholera, according to the accepted
tradition, has its home in Asia-the
abode of ignorance and filth. Again
and again, I'm medieval and modern
history, 1t has invaded Europe by way
of Russia and the Balkans. Both re.
gions are now better adapted to its
spread than they have been for dec.
AIDES, because of the abnormal lower.
ing of health and sanitary standards
and resources caused by the war. II
must be accepted as a matter of
course that henceforth, until order ID
restored and the populations are once
more well fed and cared for, western
Europe and America will face the
threat of pestilence.
We. need not, however. be unduly
alarmed, We know how Serbia was
smitten by the dread typhus. and how
the disease was stamped out there In
a few months by an eXpeditionary
force Of American doctors and
nurses. There Is no reason why chol-
era. even If II has become epidemic,
cannot be handled likewise, though
the task in Russia Is naturally huge
one.
As for the allied countries, there
need be no fear Of epidemic. Chol
era, like most of the other scourges
that formerly slew so large part OF
the human race, Is absolutely pre-
ventable. BY sanitary precautions
and the use of protective serum
armies and civil populations can be
kept immune. Cholera will never
sweep the earth again.

That fact, however, is no mitigation

covery that several New York manu-

rotten raincoats arouses all the great
er indignation because their conduct
is in such glaring contrast with that
of the big majority Of firms with
which the government is dealing.
It might be supposed that now, Of
all times, a business man would be
impelled by patriotism to suppress
any ordinay penchant for double-deal-
ing. There Is no more contemplate
dishonesty than cheating the soldiers
who are fighting their country's bat
ties. II Is literally those soldiers
rather than an impersonal govern
ment that the crooked manufacturers
are cheating, and they are doing II
