. The Irrelevant Years

The war would have none of William
j. Duffy, aged sixty-fve, calling him, in
effect, slippered pantaloon. So he dived
neatly off a tug at the Brooklyn Bridge
and swan off to Coney Island in exactly
three hours and thirty-two minutes.
We think the point was made. 1t will
take long for it to sink home in war de-
partment. But in France and England
they are not so fussy about years as
they once were. They have learned that
human beings are not as easily classified
as we thought before the war, that most
of our rules are sheer habit, and that,
given the urge, human being can do
almost anything he wants to do, years
few or many Notwithstanding.
Lieutenants of twenty-one command
scores of men very ably Generals of
sixty seven---well, ask Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg concerning Marshal Foch.
Already in America old men arc return
ing to work with zest. And boys are
being pushed forward to posts of respon-
sibility, while all womanhood advances
to the fray. Years are an important
part of the old creeds that the war is
swiftly blowing into kingdom come

The Woman's Land Army

We urge every Tribune reader to be-
come a member of the Woman's Land
Amy. There is no cause of the war
that means more in essential comfort
and health for the mass of Americans.
There is no cause wherein your contri-
button, large or small, will pay larger
dividends of basic product, food, with.
out which armies and ships are useless.
This woman's army is a second line of
defence only in it's relative position to
the front. Its success underles and
precedes all other success.
The present campaign seeks a fund
of 100000 in New York State to or
ganize next years camps. You are
asked to join the Woman's Land Army
by contributing your dollar and as much
more as your bank account will allow.
A million members are wanted The
women workers who stand ready to vol
unteer will do the rest.
The organization of these camps has
solved large part of the problem of
furnishing the farmer with labor to
meet MS war emergencies. There was
a period some time back when good peo-
pie supposed that troops of city folk on

IS what happened in an American division
recently: regiment in the line was siren
uously occupying itself with the Germans,
or perhaps, more properly speaking, the
occupation was mutual Considerable
Smelling was going on, and probably the
first line position was the safest because
German shells were falling frequently be-
hind it. A runner appeared from some
where and reported to Lieutenant Blank
THE colonel wants to see you at head
quarters Immediately, sir,' the orderly said.
Did he tell you to come here ?" the lieu
tenant asked
'No, sir, not exactly, but he told me to
find you at once"
"All right" said. the lieutenant, and he
followed the runner through the enemv
she'll zone, sometimes forced to crawl on
his stomach and wrigge forward to escape
the heavy bursts. Finally he arrived at
regimental headquarters, stood before the
colonel somewhat dishevelled and dirty.
Lieutenant" the colonel demanded
briskly, what did you do with that field
kitchen you had at Fort Sam Houston,
Texas; did you bring it to France?"
mo, We left it at Fort Sam Houston. 1t
wasn't worth a d. answered the lieu
tenant as mildly as possible under the cir
cumstances.
"All right; that's ALL" said the colonel.

he was wriggling along ditch on his stom-
ach' current reports that you could

holiday would be welcomed by the
farmers and fattened on country milk
and eggs in return for a little hoeing.
Unfortunately this inspirational solu-
ton Of the farm labor problem failed to
work. The farmers wanted serious
workers with some training, and they
could not afford to experiment with
amateurs on lark.
Hence developed the present land
army camp. Hence flows the need of
the fund now sought to organize these
camps. The women are available and
urgent and essential if our food sup
plies are to be maintained The land
army camp is the middleman who or
ganizes the supply of woman's labor and
delivers it at the spots where it is needed.
The plan has been tried on an extensive
scale this year and has worked admira-
bly,. 1t is to be vastly extended next
year to cover the entire state of New
York, and, indeed, the whole country.
The camps so organized will be suffi-
GENTLY permanent to last through the
war and carry through any years of re-
adjustment beyond. Therefore, houses
must be rented or built. Delivery of
labor where needed is absolutely essen
tial, and therefore automobiles must be
bought and operated. The farmers pay
wages for the work done and, once es-
tablished, the camps pay for themselves.
1t is the initial cost of organization for
which the present fund is needed
There is no guessing or experiment
about the proposition. The whole .sys-
TEN has been worked out to successful
practical solution. Volunteers are re-
quired to pass medical examination to
insure their physical fitness. A home
garden is planted in which the workers
are trained. The girls in the land
army wear a specified costume, over
alls, big straw hats, and so on. The
plan is a practical working success
which has met the hearty approval of
farmers, food administrators and
oranges.
The urgent need now is to organize
we'll in advance of next springs plant
ing season, so that volunteers can be en-
listed and farmers notified at once Of
what labor they can count upon. Only
by prompt action this fall can next
years crops be increased as they
should be-
The city address of the organization
is New York State Land Army, Hotel
Biltmore. If canvasser has not already
reached you send in your contribution,
dollar, less or more, but as much as you
can. The women workers, college girls,
school girls, girls in seasonal trades,
teachers, have shown their readiness to
volunteer. The least we can do is to
stand behind this home army of ours as
stanchly and effectively as we stand be-
hind our other army overseas

The Union
By Alfred Noyes
From Tho Ydyc Rcvsc,o

VOU that have gathered together the
Il sons OF alI races,
And welded them into one,
Lifting the torch Of your Freedom on
hungering faces
That sailed to the setting sun;
You that have made of mankind in your
own proud regions
The music of man to be,
How should the old earth sing of you, now,
as your legions
Rise to set all men free?
How should the singer that knew the
proud vision and loved it,
In the days when not all men knew,
Gaze, through his tears, on the light, now
the world has approved it;
Or dream, when the dream comes true?
How should he sing when the Spirit of
Freedom in thunder
Speaks, and the wine-press is red;
And the sea-winds are loud with the chains
that are broken asunder
And nations that rise from the dead?
Flag of the sky, proud flag of that wide
communion,
Too n lightly for thought to scan;
Flag Of the many in one, and that last
world-union
That kingdom of God in man.
Ours was a dream. in the night, Of that
last federation,
But yours is the glory unfurled-
The marshalled nations and stars that shall
make one nation
One singing star of the world

The Times continues to lacerate its
garments. "No Exchange of Ideas" was
the title Of it's double-leaded leader YES
terday. 1t denounced Germany on the
ground that in its reply to the Austrian
proposal for secret peace parley it ex-
pressed "only readiness for an exchange
OF ideas" But on Monday The Times
said: We cannot imagine that the invi
tatlon will be declined. When representa-
tlves of the belligerents meet at the
council table and proceed to their conf
dental exchange of views, to their re-
spective statements of terms, there is
much antecedent probability that after
no considerable interval the formal meet
ing of peace commissioners will follow"
The difference between the enchonoc of
ideas for which the Kaiser is ready and
the exchange of confidential vieaos for
which The Times was prepared is imper-
ceptible to many obtuse readers.

and apply the Gary system forthwith
throughout the city? The expense would
be low. The increase of educational ac-
Communications would be very great. The
compulsion Of war might thus be con-
verified into positive and farreaching
benefit
1t is a difficult decision that Mayor
Hylan faces. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that he will approach it in that spirit of
open-mindedness and freedom from ante
cedent prejudice which alone can meet
war emergencies effectively.

Obedience First

1t is a small thing as sacrifices go, but
we think the spirit in which the Ameri-
can people-east of the Mississippi
have acceded to Mr.. Garfield's gasolene
request is one Of the most significant of
the war
1t came from clear sky 1t exempted
one-haf of the country. Yet nobody has
raised a voice in protest or even query
The request came from the nations ad-
ministration. That was enough People
obeyed with a will
That is a wonderful spirit, and abso-
lutely the right spirit. Obedience first
is the one motto of war, and this sign
that the American people have learned
this particular lesson is the best of
promise for our future fist in the
combat

Why Not Gary Schools?

Mayor Hylan has an unusual oppor-
tunity to display breadth of mind in
solving the new and urgent school prob
lem that has suddenly developed. 1t is
not question of small consistency, but of
grave war emergency. The War Indus
tries Board has made it impossible to
house our school children in new build
lngs as Mr.. Hylan planned
There remains outstanding and already
partially installed the Gary system. 1t
offers solution which the best. expert
opinion of the country held to present
netter education as we'll as cheaper edu-
cation

his steps, accept the plain consequences

UncamounageabIe

The publication of the French Yellow
Book, revealing the terms of the Franco
Russian Alliance nails another German
lie. The German Foreign Office has
shown much industry in digging into
captured enemy archives for propagan-
dist material. But the only records it
has unearthed and published, seeming to
hint at pre-war combinations for pur-
poses of aggression against Germany,
have proved on close examination to be
only clumsy distortions of the truth.
When the Germans captured Brussels
they ransacked the Belgian state papers
and pretended to find in them proof of
secret military alliance between Belgium
and Great Britain. But the publication in
full of the alleged discriminating CORE
spondence (the Germans had given only
excerpts from it, showed that the Bel
gian and British War Offices had merely
consulted on the possibility of coopera-
ton in case Belgium's neutrality should
be violated by Germany
So when the German government
bought the Bolshevist counter revolution
in Russia its agents went through the
diplomatic correspondence between Rus
STA and France and claimed to have
found evidence in it that those two coun-
tries had long ago covenanted to attack
and despoil Germany.
The text of the Franco Russian treaty,
now published, shows that the alliance
was purely defensive in character, pro-
viding for joint military action only in
case either France or Russia should be
attacked by the Triple Alliance or any
two members of it, and providing for
Joint mobilization only after an enemy
mobilization had taken place
The Franco-Russian agreement was
strictly defensive SO, by its terms was
the German Austro Hungarian-I Italian
alliance Germany destroyed the binding
force of the latter covenant by declaring
war on Russia in the midst of negotia-
lions for a mediation of Austria-Hun-
gary's dispute with Serbia. Italy was
thereby relieved Of any obligation to sup
port her allies. Berlin never made
public demand for Italian assistance.
Failure to do so amounted to an admis-
sion that the war was an aggressive one
on Germany's part.
The Kaiser and all his UNDERSTANDS in
Germany and Austria Hungary have re-
Gently been calling heaven to witness
that the Central Powers have been fight
ing solely ''for the integrity and security
of their territories" 1t is the last cry of
panlc-stricken bully and hypocrite. 1t
is an appeal for mercy from a criminal
who has himself never shown mercy. 1t
is fiustered Pan-G ermanism in the last
ditch.
1t may seem superhuous at this late
day to be emphasizing the fact that the
war was forced on the world by German
arrogance and ambition. Yet the French
Yellow Book is timely. And for this rea-
son: The day of reckoning is approach
ing. Against that day the German is at
tempting to cover over his foulness. That
must not be. He made the war He has
fought it through with unexampled bru-
tally and baseness. He must expate his
crimes. The world cannot in justice al
low him the fictitious eXtenuation that he
robbed, murdered and ravaged in self
defence.

Back to the Sea

Ships mean men. Not the least i'm
Board is the recruiting service. For our
vast new tonnage must be manned, and
manned with Americans so far as posi-
Bile. One of the inevitable results of the
disappearance Of the American flag from
the Seven Seas, when steam supplanted
sail and the tin pots drove out the wind
TANNERS, was the decline of Americans
as a seafaring race With the old clip
pers the old captains departed. Even in
the old seacoast towns strange shells and
most the only memorials of the earlier
days. Yet we are now discovering that
the call of the sea was UNDECIDED, but not
forgotten. The recruiting service, which
has headquarters at Boston, where it
publishes every week "The Merchant
Mariner" most interesting little paper,
already has more apprentices than it
can take care of for the moment. That
is good omen The American seaman
is coming into his own again--much
own.
The commander Of well known liner
once remarked that at thirty. he left the
sea and went into the Cunard service.
What he meant was that there was no
comparison between the hardships of the
oldtime sailing vessel and the comforts
of modern steamship. But the condi-
tons of the seaman's life on every kind
of craft have greatly altered since the
days recorded in "Moby Dick" They were
a rough lot, those old whaling men, and
they lived roughly. The scum of the
world drifted into New Bedford and
Nantucket. But there were fine, up
standing men among them, too, tall men
of their hands, cheerful, courageous,
ready for fight or frolic All the
North Atlantic Coast was veritable
nursery of seamen; our naval exploits
testify to the stuff of which they were
made. The race Of heroes survived with
the captains courageous of Gloucester,
with many a sturdy American salt who
took his chance with the mixed crews our
shippers raked together from every part
of the world, even in some sense with
our yachtsmen. 1t is hard to make
landlubber of any Cape Colder or Nan
tucketer. But it has taken the war to
send our adventurous, high-spirited boys
back to the sea in large numbers.
That is we'll worth while. We need
not lay too much stress upon the i'm
proved conditions of the seaman's life.
1t is we'll that they should be improved.
But it needs little rough-and tumble to
develop the sterner qualities of man
hood. These youths who are cnlistng
in the American merchant marine should
be the first of long line The sea
should regain the old glamour of the
days when most boys wanted to run
away and ship before the mast, like
Dana, and when many of them did.
America must sec her own sons sailing
under her flag. For sea power is hers
by right of heritage, and in no other
way can she be mistress of her destiny.
