Last Saturday at Detroit they unveiled

gine that is beating the world and beat
ing the Hun. Did your money help do it?
Last week the American bombing ex-
pedition took $50 planes into the air, a
sight human eyes had never seen before.
They carried bombs for the Hun. Was
yoar bomb on board?
Down at Hog Island you may see q

fabrication, quantity production of ships
another sight no man has ever wit
messed before, one of the wonders of a

the world, cost $50000,OOO to build. Did
yoatr money help it rise?
We shall spend half billion-maybe
billion-on fleet that will make the
United States one Of the great maritime
powers of the earth. Is your money
helping to build ship?
1t is tanks-perhaps American tanks
which will lead the march to Berlin.
Some of them cost five thousand, ten
thousand to build. Are you "in'' on a
tank?
Every soldier boy in France costs
eight to ten tons of food and munitions
per year. Keep him fighting the Hun.
How many soldier boys are your dollars
paying for?
The boys, the food, the shells, the
ships, the tanks, the planes, all cost
human labor. How much human labor
has yoetr money kept in the workshops
and the fields that Americas entry into
the war may mean what Germany said
it never could mean--a knockout blow?
A bond buys a bomb, ten of them a

Emergency Nurses Needed

A war, gigantic loan campaign, an

and widespread epidemic bring siren
uous call to service these days. The
latest is for volunteer nurse corps to
fight the influenza plague. 1t is sent out
by the Nurses Emergency Council, at
389 Fifth Avenue, Of which Miss Lillian
Wald is chairman We hope the re-
sponse to this appeal will be prompt and
generous. The call is for nurses and not
for money, and is for the unframed and
the inexperienced, as we'll as all others
available. The need is great. There are
upward of 10000 reported cases, and in
the judgment of DR.. S. S. Goldwater.

The Peoples Libraries in Danger

Citizens Of New York who are inter-
ested in the public library system of the
city will do we'll to attend the public
hearings to-day and tomorrow IN the
question of the increase of librarians
salaries, hear the story of the librarians
nd bespeak for them the immediate con-
si~ ton of the Board Of Estimate.
Th, 'ity's library service is at stake.
Worker 'ur libraries are resigning at
an ala rmira e.e, because OF the low sal
aries they receive. There are 130 va
cancies in the Circulation Department
not officially filled. Many employees are
holding their positions only because they
expect salary increases.
Meanwhile the duties of library en-
ployes have been increased by the in
PRODUCTION of draft boards, legal advisory
boards and information bureaus into
library buildings, while outside war work
with gilt-edge salaries tempts the Ii
brarian.
The New York Public Library Staff
Association is making its fight backed by
the library trustees, who previously made
the request of the Board of Estimate to
include in its tentative budget an appro-
priation for salary increases. But IL
braries, after all, are for the people, and
it is up to the people of the city to see
that enough money is allowed for re-
spectacle salaries for the men and women
who make their library service as efficient
and reliable as it is.

Kola campaign lapsed But the Finnish
Diet, after considerable hesitation,
turned Finland into monarchy and
elected Prince Charles of Hesse as the
first sovereign.
Now Germany cannot even protect
herself Her allies are falling away.
Her dependencies are being shorn from
her. German kings are at discount.
The Films are far in the rear of the
procession. They are paying prc-bank
ruptcy prices for. an article which now
figures on the dissolution sacrifice bar
gain counter.
German kings, princes and grand
dukes will be lucky if they can hold on
to the thrones they occupy. Before the
war ends there will be frightful cas-
ualty list among the serenities whose
names and titles fill so great a space in
the German section Of the Almamach de
Gotha. And if German monarchs are
already going out of fashion at home
what do the Films want with a mon
arch made in Germany?
1t is long way from Helsingfors to
Darmstadt. If the Finnish delegates are
wise they will cut short their trip.
Finland would cut sorry figure in the
peace conference if she should be so
impolitic as to anoint a German SOW
ereign on the very eve of a catastrophe
crash in Teutonic royalty values.

Bulgaria for Sale
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A report from Washington, which
may have emanated from the Bulgarian
Legation, comes to the effect that Bulgaria
is desirous of attacking her former ally,
Turkey, in which event "she will act in CO.
operation with the Entente command, and
presumably under its direction"
If it be true that the Entente would
consent to accept turncoat Bulgaria as an
ally, what is there left in this world for
US to love and respect?
We were proud, because justice and right
were our side; we were proud that we

Buying Into a Dead Market

We can imagine nothing more futile
than the mission of the delegation of
the Finnish Diet which is now on it's
way to Germany to announce to Prince
Charles of Hesse his election as King
of Finland. The junketing representa-
tives of the Diet are wasting carfare.
The statute of limitations has already
run against the enterprise in which thew
are engaged.
Six months ago Germany seemed to
hold the future of Eastern Europe in
her hands The Films had just been
freed from Russian rule, but were
menaced by Bolshevist minority in
their own country, supported by the
Russian Bolshevists. They naturally
turned to Germany for protection. Thew
entered into political and military al
lance with the Kaiser, one of the con-
ditions of which was their acceptance of
German prince as king. Germany had
surplus of princelets without occupa-
tion 1t was good politics and good
business to plant some of them on the
thrones OF the dependencies which the
Brest-Litovsk treaty had created in for
mer Russian territory.
Finland consented to receive Ger
man monarch and to give military aid
to Germany by moving against the AL
lied forces in the Kola peninsula. The
latter engagement was never lived up to.
The German defeat on the Marne last
3uly cured the Films of all desire to
take up arms against the Allies. The

Let Foch Decide!

Let Foch decide!

Let Foch decide!
Let him say, mo,
Never surrender to beaten foe
The safety Of the world for which have died
Millions of honest men.
Beware the whimper Of the vanquish'd Hun,
Beware the whining of the homicide
William the Liar, who brags, and Stays,
and then
With ratlike squealing seeks his hole again!
Trust not the hazard of juggler's pen
To keep what we have won!"
In Foch confide!
The silent, strong, enduring, dauntless man
First in hundred fights, trust him who
never ran,
smote
The Teuton legions and abased their pride.
Woe unto those who at this fatal time
Would compromise with crime,
And handy cunning with the shameless Hun!
He stands on ruins brink;
Our victory is near; not ink,
But blood, but valor and unshaken will
Should be our weapons and our skill
In Foch we trust!
He writes no letters and his speech is brief
He scorns the subterfuge of dust
Thrown into statesmen's eyes;
He will not compromised
He saw far off the goal,
And with undaunted soul
Wins it, unboasting, as becomes Chief!
Be every reptile message of the Boche
Referred henceforth to Foch!

To Go

E. Lowry Humes, United States District
Attorney for the western district of Penn
sylvania, it appears, undertook in 1915 the
prosecution of brewers in that state for
alleged corrupt practices in connection
with a campaign for the election of
United States Senator two years previous
ly. He found great difficulty at first in
obtaining necessary testimony which, how
ever, he knew to be in existence. To make
his case he had to resort to extraordinary
methods. Eventually, it is said he sue
ceeded in obtaining nearly a wagonload of
important documents.
1t required six months to classify this
evidence and to put it into shape for pre-
sentation to the court, for it covered
decade of the associations secret history
Before it could be used, however, the ac-
cused brewers pleaded "nolo contendere,"
New-York tribune., 1918-10-16
interpretations

The world is indebted to the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at Washing
ton and to Mr.. David Lawrence, of The
Nea0 York Eueming Post, for statement
of President Wilson's position on the sub
ject of Alsace- Lorraine. The Associated
Press correspondent, interpreting the
Presidents reply to Germany, wrote:
zone outstanding point which does not
appear in the Presidents note-a point on
which the world has been asking questions
can be answered tonight.
"When the President declared that the
wrong done to France when Germany took
Alsace-Lorraine should be righted, he
meant that Alsace- Lorraine should be re-
turned to France"
Mr.. Lawrence says: "President Wilson
will insist that Alsace-Lorraine be re-
turned to France" He adds words of
impatience with those who have ever har-
bored a doubt on that interesting point.
The Tribune has always wished to be-
lieve that such was the Presidents mean
ing. But he has never said it explicitly.
And we do not know on what authority
either The Associated Press correspond
ent or Mr.. David Lawrence can be sud-
denly more explicit than the President
himself in a matter of profound i'm
portance to the whole world.
1t is now the custom for the interpre-
tation Of the Presidents utterances, and
especially of his messages to Germany,
to be more explicit than the context. In
each case those who think they know the
Presidents mind say that by this he
i. meant that, and that by that he meant
" literally this, and so on. Yet the Pres
ident is a great master of literary ex-
preston.
If these aids to the understanding of
his messages were gratuitous they would
oe outrageously presumptve. Moreover,
if they were unwelcome they would be
abated. AS matter of fact the inter-
pretations are now regularly and Off
clally supplied sometimes by the Secre-
tary of State and sometimes by others.
Generally, the correspondents who re-
ceive the text of message are detained
until they can be supplied with the in
depreciation that should go with it; md
they write their news leads" accore
ingly. So it happens that alongside of
reply from the President to Germany
there appears news article telling in
other words what it means.
\ Ii the President omits, as in the last
case, to say explicitly what is meant bv
the autocracy that shall be destroyed the
correspondents supply the term. He
means Kaiserism.
If he has not used the word surren-
der no one must be disappointed on that
account, for really what he means is
more than unconditional surrender"
At that point the understanding begins
to swocn. The only thing more than
unconditional surrender that one can
think of is hara-kiri. Perhaps that is
meant. But it isn't stated.
New-York tribune., 1918-10-16

Lille carries with it obvious possibili-
ties. After four months of uninter-
rupted defeat and retreat, the German
army may collapse at any new strain.
But if the Sedan does not come, if an
unconditional surrender does not come,
then within ten days we may look for
new offensive-probably an American
offensive-in Alsace- Lorraine.
In sum, France is freed the liberation
of Belgium comes next; but it may be
accomplished as a detail of what is of
much more value, now--the invasion of
Germany-and this is at hand.

"Hearst Papers Not
Sold Here"
(From The San Francisco Bulletin)

"HE Nevada State Council of De-
fence has printed handbills, the
top line of which reads "Hearst's
Newspapers Not Sold Here" These
signs appear on all the newsstands in
every city in the state.
Against Hearst's present slavering
and fawning attitude toward President
Wilson there is set off on the handbill
a neat quotation from "The New York
American" showing what Hearst's atti-
tude was when war was declared. This
is the quoted paragraph:
eff we are going to make war on
Germany, we want a commander-in-
chief who knows his business, not a
VACILLATING INCOMPETENT who
knows neither his own business nor
his own mind"
Words have meaning in Nevada, and
that committee of patriots militant who
issued these handbills do not propose to
trust man who edits Janus-faced news
papers, turned toward Germany one day
and the Stars and Stripes the next.
New-York tribune., 1918-10-16
Left To
Be Inferred

Thus, the public is left to infer that the
brewers, up to 1916, possessed document
ary evidence the publication of which
would have blasted the reputation of many
American public men. Let it be remem-
bered that these brewers for the most
part we're German brewers brewers who
sympathized with Germany in the war,
brewers who purchased German bonds that
pro-German outrages might be committed
in the United States What weapon
they had over the public men who had
come into their power That they used it
in many instances there can now be no
doubt; how they used it is not left to con-
lecture There have been times of politi-
cal and national crisis before and since
1915 when the publication of these docu-
ments, or the substance of their contents,
would have shed great white light over
many mysterious and disturbing situations.
The Senate sub committee has demanded
this documentary evidence of the Judiciary
Department, and, of course, its demand
must in the end, if insisted upon, be COM
piled with; but there appears disquiet-
ing announcement to the effect that the
subcommittee is going to examine the
documents, if it shall obtain them, in ex-
ecutive session-that is to say, behind
closed doors and in secret And despite
all statements heretofore made to the con-
trary, it is now being asserted that the
evidence in the possession of the Depart
menr of Justice is not by any means COM
plete. In the first place. so it is alleged,
Mr.. Humes did not succeed in obtaining
all the documents, cancelled checks, letters,
etc, which he tried to obtain; in the next
place, much of the evidence he obtained
was, it is alleged, returned to the brewers
association. These documents
should be produced
New-York tribune., 1918-10-16

which is simply softer way of pleading
guilty, paid fine of $4,000, and had the
case dismissed. But the documentary evil
dence was retained by Mr. Humes and by
him later turned over to the Department
of Justice, where it has been preserved
from prying eyes ever since. Why?
That is the interesting question i.
The friends of prohibition claim that they
have long had knowledge of the existence
of the evidence, and they have long been
convinced that ventilation of it would do
their cause an immeasurable service, "yet,"
to use the language of Rollin O. Everhart,
of the Anti-Saloon League, call the efforts
on the part of. individuals and groups of
individuals favoring the drys to obtain
these documents have invariably met with
refusal from those high in power, with the
explanation that the public revelation of
these documents would cause the ruin of
more regulations than any other such ex-
position in the country's history. The
league has been untiring in it's efforts to
uncover these facts, but the way has al
ways seemed blocked by an adamant wall"
New-York tribune., 1918-10-16
Kaiser Brew
(From The Christian Science Monitor)

A GAIN it should be repeated, and with
n increased emphasis, that there is far
more involved in the work about to
be undertaken by a subcommittee of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, under the
Jones resolution directingga searching in
vestigation of questionable activities Of
breweries in the United States during the
last few years, than the mere uncovering
Of details relating to the alleged purchase
of a Washington, D. c., daily newspaper
with brewery money. The transfer of
"The Washington Times" by Mr. Munsey
to Mr.. Brisbane is simply an incident Of
the affair.
The parties concerned, no doubt, would
gladly have the attention of the sub-com-
mittee and the public concentrated upon
the Washington newspaper deal, to the ex-
clusion of other and more important
lated matters, and they have gone to great
lengths to prevent a widening of the scope
of inquiry, because it is the unpublished
and not the published facts that trouble
them. AS indicating pressure upon the
Department of Justice to withhold this
documentary evidence, and reluctance in
the same quarter to make the exposure
complete, the following Associated Press
telegram, sent out from Washington on
October 2, should be regarded as germane:
Further inquiry into the purchase Of
"The Washington Times" by Arthur
Brisbane with money furnished by
brewers was postponed by the Senate
Judiciary Committee to-day after
papers submitted by Alien Property
Custodian Palmer and Mr.. Brisbane
had been put into the record. The sub
committee will not resume its work
until documents for which the Attor-
ney General has been asked are re-
ceived, and the full committee deter
mines whether the investigation shall
be confined to "The Washington
Times" purchase or extend to the gen
eral propaganda and activities of
brewery interests.
