Even in n country 80 disturbed as

run much the same as ever. The Poster
Lloyd of Budapest has its usual col

flavor that seems a little odd after the

Advertisements in English and French
are scattered among the CLOSE lines OF
German Gothic type and the announce

one accent on every three letters. The

which Statements Are False?

in danger"
For Mr.. WILSON to assert that
America was not directly attacked"
and that America was not immedi-
ately in danger" will amaze those
whose memories extend into the dark
days which preceded April 6, 1917. If
Mr.. WILSON'S memory was better than
it now appears to be he would recall
that on February 20, 1917, he deliv-
cred in person a message. to the Con-
gress in which he said:
''Since 1t has unhappily proved i'm
possible to safeguard our neutral
rights by diplomatic means against the
unwarranted infringements they are
suffering at the hands of Germany
there may be no recourse but to armed
neutrality, which we shall know how
to maintain, and for Which there is
abundant American precedent"
Thus in February of 1917 our neu-
trail rights were suffering "unwar-
ranted infringements,' according to
President WILSON. On April ., 1917
the President appeared again before
the Congress to deliver his war mes.

American ships have been sunk.
American lives have been taken. in
ways which It has stirred US very
deeply to learn OF
There is one choice we cannot
make. we are incapable Of making;
We will not choose the path of sub
mission and suffer the most sacred
rights of our nation and our people
to be violated.
with n profound sense of the SOL

the step I am taking and of the grave
responsibilities which It involves, but .
in unhesitating obedience to what 1
deem my constitutional duty, advise
that the Congress declare the recent
course of the Imperial German Gov
eminent to be in fact nothing less
than war against the Government
and people of the United States :"
The preamble of the war resolution
adopted by the Congress and approved
by the President on April 8, 1917, de
clares that:
whereas the Imperial German
Government has committed repeated
acts of war against the Government
and the people of the United States
of America: Therefore =. . :"
We shall not characterize President
WILSON'S declarations in Billings that
America was not directly attacked
and that America was not immedi

If the assertions made on this sub.
ject by WOODROW WILSON in Septem
Der, 1919, are true the assertions
made by him on the same subject in
February and April Of 1917 were false
and the preamble OF the resolution
adopted by Congress is a lie.

LIGHTER THAN ALUMINIUM
New Magnesium Alloy Said to Be rs
Strong as Steel
From the Scientific Amertcon

From the Scientific American
A metal lighter than any yet known.
and as strong as or stronger than steel,
has for years been the dream of many.
and every now and then rumors are cir
culated to the effect that at last it has
been discovered. The advantages which
such q metal would have, especially for
aircraft, are obvious, but unfortunately
1t is generally found on investigation
that there is a 'snag'' somewhere.
The latest report TO be circulated re-
lates to a new magnesium alloy said
to have been discovered by metal COM
pany of Montreal. Canada The new
alloy, 1t is stated, is only two-thirds the
weight Of aluminium and Is "as strong

suitable. for pistons and connecting rods
OF aero and motor car engines. II Is to
be hoped that some OF the qualities at
tributed to the new alloy may. on closer
examination. be substantiated.

ity of friend who writes to us as
follows:
ITO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir:
A discussion arose at our dinner table
and 1 am writing to have THE SUN
settle it The query is; Was Admiral
DEWEY of the same rank as BENSON
and SIMS, or was he one grade
higher? Do SIMS and BENSON rank
with General PERsHING, or Is the lat
ter of higher rank-of equal rank
with that of DEWEY?
MORGAN A. JONES.
NEW YORK, September H."
No man now enjoys the place which
Congress made possible for GEORGE
DEWEY in 1899, when it established
the grade of Admiral of the Navy as
reward for the Commodore's victory
in Manila Bay and the able manner
in which he disposed OF the insolent
DIEDEBIcH. His grade, which became
extinct upon his death, was higher
than that which either FARRAGUT or
PORTER held. They were Admirals,
but DEWEY, as Admiral Of the Navy,
ranked as high as, If not higher than
the British Admirals of the Fleet. II
SIMS and BENSON should become Ad-
mirals through the passage of the bill
which is now before Congress they
obviously would not hold a grade as
high as DEwEY's.
The inquiry whether PERsHING's
new rank puts him on par with that
which DEWEY held may be answered
in the affirmative, assuming that the
President will correct the error in
the text of the commission which,
according to Representative KAHN's
statement in the House on Thursday
has been made. The resolution pro-
viding for PERsHING's promotion read
as follows:
BE it enacted. &c. That the Office
| OF General of the Armies of the
United States is hereby revived, and
the President is hereby authorized
! in his discretion and by and with the
advice and consent Of the Senate. to
appoint TO said Office a General off,
Ger Of the army who on foreign soil
and during the recent war has been
| especially distinguished in the higher
command Of the military forces of
the United States; and the officer
appointed under the foregoing au-
thorization shall have the pay pre-
scribed by Section "a of the act Of
Congress approved July Is, 1870,
and such allowances as the President
shall deem appropriate; and any pro-
vision of existing law that would
enable any other officer of the army
to take rank and precedence over
said officer is hereby repealed: Pro-
vided. that no more than one ap-
pointment TO office shall be made
under the terms of this act"
Ihe rank OF General of the Armies
is referred to in the bill as being ire
vived." The curious fact is that no
man ever held such an office in the
United States. On March 8, 1893,
Congress passed bill declaring "that
4 commander of the army of the
United States shall be appointed and
commissioned by the style of Gen.
eral of the Armies of the United

up by an allied commission made mp
of experts and appraisers. who viii
have before them the complete fl

greater than Germany is able 20
