The Shame of La Toilette

For a Germantown there is charity,
on the ground that Gods intentions are
inscrutable.
For the German American there is
hope.
But is there anything to say for Robert
M. La Toilette, who, being neither Ger
man nor German-American, is marked
on the forehead by the Legislature of
his own state as one who has failed to
support the government in matters
vital to the winning Of the war;" and
whose utferances have "tended to incite
sedition among the people?"
There are those who will say that La
Toilette, whatever else, is emotionally
honest.
That would be very important if true
It would oblige you to see the man trag-
ically, as one, like Bertrand Russell of
England, in whose heart pacifism is a
faith so deep and imperious that he will
surrender for it his name, his life and
his country. In that situation there are
two elements of heroism, namely, in
tense conviction and reckless courage.
In La Follette's situation we find
neither He thought Wisconsin was
anti-war and pro-German. That was the
extent of his original conviction. We
cannot help seeing him now as we found
him year ago in Washington, leader of
the "wilful twelve" balancing each day
his mail from Wisconsin, all the pro-
German, anti-war, anti-Wilson, pacifst
lette7s in one pile, and all the American
letters in another. 1t was not what La
Toilette thought of going to war with
Germany that interested him. 1t was
what Wisconsin thought.
The American letters lost.
That was not because Wisconsin was
disloyal, out because pro-German letter
writing was skilfully organized and
financed by German money, as we then
suspected and have since been able to
prove.
AS for the other element-that of
reckless courage-it is indecently lack
ing. Heroism, physical or moral, is never
cautious. La Toilette has been very
careful. He has been so careful, indeed,
that only body legally immune from
action for libel, like the Legislature of
Wisconsin or the United States Senate
may safely characterize his disloyalty
in adequate terms.
So far as we can see, La Toilette has
been disloyalist for the most sordid rea-
son there was. He thought Wisconsin was
disloyal. He counted her voices hurriedly,
and was mistaken. Now she has counted
herself. She has voted "aye" on the
war and "no" on La Toilette That
ought to be binding on La Toilette, since
he apparently believes neither in war
nor pacifsm, but in the arithmetic of
Wisconsin votes. Therefore, you might
suppose that he would publicly renounce
disloyalism as an act of feeble apology
to Wisconsin and then resign from the
United States Senate to spare it the
shame of debating his expulsion.
But he won't.

Revolutions to Come
Mrs. Stokes Explains Her Views on

10 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In The Tribune of Yesterdays date
am reported to have declared England a
worse tyrant than Germany" The report is
misleading I declared the British govern
ment, where their interests were concerned,
were no less tyrannous than the German
government where theirs were concerned.
Inc governments, also please note, not the
people.
Another error in the reporting lay in the
1ollo"lng paragraph: There are thousands
OF Jews in labor organizations who are
standing dumb before British tyranny If
you are Socialists you cannot stand by

initiative of having Japan and China do the
work in Siberia achich Germany might do

tallst game closely that the hope of
the British. French and Italian governments
was that Germany would succeed in crush
ing the Socialist republic in Russia and
establish bourgeois republic, or a con-
st'tutlonal monarchy even, in its stead.
Germany having failed in this, it seems now
to be the Allied governments cue to use

An All-College Plattsburg
(From The Boston TranscripD


The War Department would do we'll to
give favorable consideration to the suggcs-
ton of "rhc Harvard Crimson" that an all
college officers training camp be established
this summer. The idea clearly contains
merit. Hundreds Of college men now below
the draft age would welcome the oppor-
tunity to devote the long vacation to intcn-
sive preparation for military service of a
kind still greatly needed. To students in
those institutions which now have no R. O.
7. c. the plan would be particularly at
tractive, because it would enable them to get
training which conditions at their own
colleges force them to forego.
If Harvards camp of last summer was
popular and valuable, why wouldn't a camp
established on much broader lines and con-
ceivably of much larger efficiency be still
more popular and valuable? In asking this
question there is neither attempt nor desire
to MINIMIZE the great service which Har-
ward has rendered the nation. The men it
educated at the Fresh Pond trenches and at.
Barre made an excellent showing at the
subsequent Plattsburg and they are making
an even better showing day as officers in
the National Army. But Harvard's camp
was an infantry camp to train infantry Off
GERS. Artillery, signal corps and engineer
officers are just as urgently needed. Let the
colleges devoted to these varying interests
pool their resources. Let the infantry Of
Harvard, the artillery of Yale and the enri-
necring Of Technology join forces in an.
other great effort to meet the diverse needs
OF country at last seriously at war;

WOMEN ENGRAVING
IN new YORK CITY

ATLANTA, Ca, July 1.-THE In
creasing number Of women who are
taking ND unusual lines OF work be-
cause of the war has aroused much
comment as to the ability Of women
to stand the strain of work. Business
men and people at large in Atlanta
where girls are now carrying mes
sages, running elevators, depensing
soda water and various other unusual
activities, are surprised at their eff
ficNency and physical fitness for such
work.
Interesting statistics have been
given showing that the wirl who
govt to earn her living does not shor-
ten her life or suffer greater penal
ties than do the women who remain
at home, marry and carry forward the
general line of work usually assigned
to women
Among women engaged in higher
clerical occupations, the death rate
is only 81 per thousand, while among
women employed in stores and factor
les it is only S per cent per thous-
and. Among women who do house
work Of Their own, or for others, the
death rate jumps to the staggering
total of III per cent.

GEORGIA WOMEN TO
STUDY MEDICINE

ATLANTA, Ca, July 17.-In the
interest of war service and to pro-
vide at home instruction wanterr by
Georgia women, an effort will be
made to open the state medical col
dege to women; and also to secure
the opening of the Atlanta Medical
College to women who wish to take
hp medicine as profession.
Both Institutions at present. pro-
hibit women in the classes; but the
great demand being made upon
doctors of the states opens such a
wide field for service, and the need
for skilled medical attention becomi
more and more acute as the drain
continues that it is hoped the two
schools will seriously consider the
question Of admitting women.
There are already women physicians
in France doing heroic work in be-
half of tie sufferers there, and at
Fort Mcpherson there is woman
doctor with the rank and pay Of a
lieutenant in the regular army.
