New-York tribune., 1919-06-08


Of the American Federation
Of Labor. With the excep-
ton Of that convention in Buffalo
in November Of 1917, when Samuel
Gompers stood with his back to the
wall and the call went out far and
wide for all who might bring an
atom of strength to defeat the plot
of the pacifsts and pro-Germans
to line up American labor against
the war and for a negotiated peace,
it is the most important convention
in the history of the federation.
AS at Buffalo, the fight this year
is between the so-called radicals and
those who believe in the Gompers
policy of making haste slowly, with
Gompers in the centre of the fight
In the radical lineup are all who
were counted upon to swing the tide
against Gompers in Buffalo, plus
a few new figures who have come
to the front in Seattle, in Butte and
other far Western centres. On the
Gompers side will be found the
forces which stood by him in Buffalo
as they have stood with him in his
thirty years fight with radicalism
under one name or another. With
the Gompers forces there will be
new figures, and quite possibly some
few who in the past have been on
the other side.

death would be his portion with VIC
tory, and that peace would last only
ten years, he would have given his
life just as willingly. To poetize his
simple and natural patriotism, to rep
resent it as a manner of international
ism, is to gild gratuitously facts that
are in themselves sufficiently glorious.
Few who have dealt intimately with
enlisted men of the army and navy,
sharing their hardships and admirine
their pluck and clearheadedness will
admit as plausible this mortuary
museum Of plaster saints which Presi-
dent Wilson is at such pains to erect.
For the league Of nations there should
be arguments, without sentiment
alizing and denaturlng that sacrifice
which our boys made so simply. From
their wide-strewn graves they ask
nothing of us but to honor them for
what they did and for what they were"

~ n MEMORIAL DAY at Su-
resnes, France, our Presi-
~ dent delivered an address
which has met with rather
conflicting reactions in this country
He pictured the American soldiers
as crusaders, fighting not primarily
for their country, but for great
ideal which embraced the whole well
fare of human society. We find
"The Indianapolis News" declaring
that
"the President paid beautiful tribute
to the American soldiers who died in
the great war. 1t is true, as the
speaker said, that they did not die
simply that victory might be won, but
for a cause. Their like said Mr..
Wilson, has not been seen since the
far days of the crusades' since never
before have men crossed the seas to
fight for a cause Of humanity which
they did not pretend was particularly
their own, but they knew was the
cause Of humanity and mankind"
Selfish Domination
At one point in MS speech the
President said:
"These men did not come across the
sea merely to defeat Germany and her
associated powers in the war. They
came to defeat forever the things for
which the Central Powers stood, the
sort of rower they meant to assert in
the world, the arrogant, selfish domi
nation which they meant to establish;
end they came, moreover, to see to it
tha. there should never be war like
this again"
And indeed, thinks the paper just
quoted
There has been q disposition to mar
row the Issues for which we were sup
posed to have fought, md this is very
unfortunate, Those who recall the
days of April. 1917, will remember that
there was great moral impulse that
sllIItu lUc HeIIlS Ol ull lueII. we all
felt called to defeat monstrous
wrong and to uphold the right. We
warred against a system, a philosophy
and a government that we believed to
be, and had denounced as criminal.
we can not limit or lower the is
sues fo- which our men fought without
dishono1ing them. Tney were indeed
crusaders They fought for cleanness,
truth, justice, righteousness, for wom-
en- and little children--in short, for
civilization. 1t is we'll that we should
have been reminded Of all this on
Memorial Day by the President of the
United States,'
= But objection is encountered
when one turns to THE Baltimore
Sun"-objection depending upon the
Implication" that unless the league
of nations is formed all the sacri-
fees of these so-called "crusaders"
will have been in vain. The writer
admits that, in his opinion, the Pres
ident's major premise is correct:

"Horrible. isn't *. but true" he said
to a friend who met him in "A French
village and asked what he was doing.
''My particular outfit of men have
sold ten babies in the last ten days
and we expect to sell hundred more
within the next two months. Why, its
the greatest business in France today
--this selling of babies to soldiers.
There are SO men in platoon, and
we suggest platoon should ad-
opt baby on pay day L cost 500
francs to take care of a bafS for one
year, and that meant that all but nine
men in a platoon. should pay five
francs each on the first lnstallment
and five francs each on the following
pay day Making a payment each
time of $50 francs. or the 500 in all.
Each platoon elects leader who acts
as go-between for the babies are
bought through the baby department
of the Stars and Stripes. on the pay
ment of the second and final install
ment the leader gets seven pictures Of
the child in various poses.
ct will be possible for one platoon
to take up six babies a year for it
would mean about a dollar from each
man on &very pay day, which comes
around about twice in two months.

Gee, Sawyer, this baby business is
great Who wouldn't rather have a
baby than a Jag"

BERLIN, Jan. 2S.-The ease with
which a new leader of tho people

with which one may drop from sight
is shown in the career of win Heise.
Heise was submarine man. He
was in Hamburg when a gathering of
citizens was being harangued by
would be reformers. He didn't like
the talk and climbed to the platform
and addressed the crowd.
You don't know what YOU want
You are listening to professional
demagogues and -thumpers.
will tell YOU what YOU want. You
should elect one of yourselves to lead
YOU"
Heise had the crowd with him.
You've elected Yourself" they
roared at him
Thereupon Heise established him
self in government offices, set up the
Independent Republic of the Lower
.Elbe and kept order with a fleet of
armored motor cars.
The Republic of the Lower Elbe was
to extend from west of Bremen to
east of Lubeck and south of the juno
ton of the railroads from Hamburg
and Kiel to Berlin.
But in recent weeks nothing has
been heard of Heise or his republic.
