MELTING POT FAILS TO MELT

This melting pot of has been asked to melt up different kinds of stuff than the department Of mineralogy heard of. It's got more things in It than New England boiled dinner or a rummage sale. And to have gotten all these ingredients properly melted would have meant that every second man was a stoker and every first a coal miner.
 But instead of that, every second man has been motor car manufacturer and every first an open mar ket.
 And the result has been that. so far from melting these different ingredients haven't done anything with them at all They have just been dumped in and lain there, here pile of Armenlans there bunch of Germans. wonder pile of Jews. and beyond that chunk of Chinese. And New York; which has been our biggest receiving station has come to take on the appearance of of those dishes of hors doeuvres that you strike in Italian restau- rants-sardnes in compartment olives in another, all separate distinctive and individual

MT. Lawrence, Apoloeist

David Lawrence a Washington correspondent has elected himself or been appointed expainer of the meaning of the cryptic uterances of George Creel and the softener of public sentiment to the methods of the administration in the prosecution of the Mir. Lawrence informs that MT. Creels reported statement that he thanked God that the United States was not prepared for war when entered it-was misunderstood MT. Greet far we know has never disputed the words which attributed to him which subjected him to charge of disloyalty or rather foolish defense of the state unpre- paredness which had been allowed to exist for two years
 What Mir Lawrence after mature and painful deliberation finds MT. Creel meant that he thanked God that we had given proof by our unpre- paredness of an desire to keep the It the opinion of Americans generally that had in all other ways given sufficient proof of pacifism.
 The very recent explanation of MT. Creers mean ing makes pertinent and interesting, the follow ing from the Galveston News which seems to have forecast some such defense:
 Not many men will agree with Mir. George Creel that it would have been dishonorabie for the United States to begin any military preparation while seek ing amicabe settlement of controversies with Germany Such a procedure would have had abundant historical Justification and Germany would have been the last nation which could have complained if had done that Neither would such have been sthcally censurable Instead of agreeing with MT. Cree most men will feel they look back over the of events during the last three years that it would have been both expedient and mercifu if, at the very beginning of our quarrel with Germany had begun to take measures for the enlargement of military forces. It is questionable if Germany would have provoked to tho extent that if it had been convinced that were determined to SUD- port our contentious with the sword The best de- fense to be made of failure begin military prep arations at the commencement of controversy with Germany is that such might have kept out of the war. In that event Germany would probably have conquered France and Great Britain. If our pacific not to pacifist attitude urged Ger many into the commission of a fatal bunder then we have reason to rejoice that did not begin our military preparations at that early day. But it is only from that viewpoint that fatuity defensbe and that it is unnecessary say the viewpoint of Mfr Greet.

camp itself. A child prisoner here thus tastes all the advantages of free dom without it's dirt and oppressive penalties.
 But if the children flourish, so, too, the orators and artists. In a grand theater and on a sumptuous stage the talent of the empire displays itself. Many and great are the occasions found for this assertion of importance; long and loudly acclaimed are the pas sages and periods of historic interest. The assembly breaks up then tumultu- ously, and sometimes stampedes the sleepy guards, who imagine that the trenches are filled with their bawling enemy. In time, however, kindly sleep settles down on the noisy patients, and even this fairyland is wrapped in dreams. Not all are events of the forum; the field of sport attracts the baser herd. especially the anarchists, who here are training for the world campaign. They have been taught that direct action is required of them, and they are there with the goods. Punch ball is a special feature of their talent, and they play it well. It is a game where the fist takes the place of the foot, and indeed is almost as powerful Ill putting the ball over the mark. In winter hockey on the ice is another favorite pastime. and skat- CTS act as if they were born with skates, so agile and proud are they in their feats. Ladies and partners waltz on the ice and carry on like the best talent on the stage. Tennis is another source of prison interest, and a great relief from the monotony of elf-contemplation, no matter how sat- isfactory.
 An amount of intellectual enter prise takes away from the deadly sameness of prison routine, and thus makes the Germans more amenable to discipline, for few now are the breaks they make for freedom. Wheth- CT this is because they are so superbly treated, or because they are more diff fident as to the reception they will meet with in the outside world, cannot be determined, still, the fact remains that they become more accustomed to their surroundings. If they are not the youths who have grown to man. hood during the war. The latter class may at any time make for liberty, and at the expense of their lives.

Rounding Up the Idle

On Sunday in Omaha the police made a round up Of tho pool under the anti-loafing ordinance adopted there, and gathered in scores of young who will be set at work, such work be found for them to do as an alternative to spending their time in Jail. Such ordinances have been adopted in many cities and in few states there have recently been enacted laws against loafng at this time when the help of every one is needed.
 We have in Phoenix ordinance in course of preparation but the work of preparing it encounters difficulties account of the character of population, such difficulties not present in northern cities where the population is less shifting. The difficulties present themselves in the south srn Californian towns and the towns of Florida.
 These anti-loafing acts which have been adopted war measures distinguished from the familiar Vasrancy laws of states, in that the possession of of support is not counted for idle Under the ant-loafing act the millionaire is put upon the same level with the hobo the youth Gull pool oaers unless expressly stated in the New York law The is habitually engaged in recognized lawful and useful business profession oc- cupation, trade or employment until the termination of the war" likeness is made offense absolutely
 There is, of course, warrant in the constitu- ton for such law. The constitution, indeed. views with coldness of the vagrancy statutes, seeming to regard inalienabe rights of citizens to become tramp if he has preference for that vocation. But the exigences of abate all those principles One of the facts jusfying such law is that no able bodied is idle necessity; there is job that needs him and needs him sorey that his refusal to respond to its call is in very literal sense act of desertion just much is that of soldier who skulks away the of battle.

they regard their enemies, for they never forget that fact, is when a few of them have got away by one or their tireless tunnels and have not been captured by the weary guards. Then their women folk turn out and deride the soldiers and their work, in dulging even in threats as to what they will do when they all get out on the day of general restitution. The younger men are audacious in their words and manner and seem to forget their present condition in view of their coming triumph. For, above all things, the German is certain of his ultimate success. if it takes three gen. erations to insure it. This attitude ap- pears to us inscrutable and even fatu- ous. To them it is a religion. Hence the terrible significance of the stu pendous human sacrifice now being enacted on the plains of Flanders.
 Among Contributory causes to this state of affairs are the following
 facts: The German has always been taught his superiority as soldier from the days of Frederick the Great. He
 believes in the decadence of France and much desires to control that coun-
 try. He considers that the next em-
 pre is due to him by heavens decree, and the kaiser thinks that the English
 king is more or less of a usurper. He esteems Europe as his field of ex-
 pioit, and war as his trade.
 The real gist of the question lies in
 being taught to believe that will is paramount. Numberless quack philoso-
 phies have sought to impress this view
 of life on his receptive makeup, and the upshot is apparent today in forests of arms and mountains of munitions. Force was interpreted as equal to right and freedom existed only to ensure fortune. Thus. material success was worshipped, and any deviation from it looked upon as loss that might alone could rectify.
 The deferred hopes of both sides are appalling; the loss 10 Germany is
 more than can be contemplated. But so long as both sides persist in the same determination of winning, the war will result in the increase of
 legions of the lost-the prisoners who, by no fault of their own. are outside of the full determination of those events which will decide the charac- l ter of the world.

LOVE OF CHILDREN

The love of children lives; it never dies; Deathless as Loves self, it gleams and shines Like a soft lamp of stars set in the pines, Aglow so long as stars glow in the skies! A boon of dew, it falls where slumbering lies
 The seed bud of a thousand flower rose;
 A breeze benign, OCT arid earth it blows; A soothing hand it soothes the worlds tired eyes, Sweetener of centuries Egypt knew it, Rome,
 And India, encompassed round with dreams;
 It broods today by dim Assyrian streams, Streams dim with unplumbed woes where broken
 dome
 And ivied silence crown the Cyclades,
 The dusty aiseways wake to old lullabies!

sissippi's own talented daughters,
made a talk at the Baptist church
Friday night, giving her personal ex-

the Red Cross nurses.
Miss George is confident of victory
and spoke of the indomitable courage
and spirit Of our allies; eulogized the
women munition workers who have
endured the most terrible hardships,
dangers and privations to help their
country, and a special tribute was
paid by her to the American soldiers
who maintain "over there the same
high standards they have at home.
Miss George made every one see
the need of the Y. W. G. A. work
in establishing the only thing that
comes near to being a home for the
Red Cross nurses who suffered much
from loneliness and certainly deserve
the little bit Of cheer furnished by
these huts.
Miss George wore the uniform
worn by Y. w. C. "A. workers in
France with the. insignia of both Z,
w. C. "A. and Y. M. G.. A. showing
that her work is for both.
