Canned Apple Sauce.

New York raised last year nearly
i6.000,OOO barrels Of apples, and thus
easily maintained its commanding
lead as the chief apple producing
State in spite of admirable organiza-
lions of growers in Western States
and their very attractive advertising
methods to induce settlers to grow
and Outlanders to eat apples. New
York is, so far as we can learn, the
FIRST State to introduce among the
aristocracy of canned eatables apple
sauce. We have seen some samples
Of this product, and find that the can
ners have begun right. Here is no
partly prepared food to which some
thing must be added, something done
before it Is ready for the table. Open
the can and serve the apple sauce as
you find 1t on plate by the side of
pork chops or sausages, In saucer
BY the side of hot toast at breakfast,

at any hour of the day, with cookies

The Return.

From fhe Century.
Golden through the golden morning
Who is this that comes,
with the pride of banners lifted,
With the roll OF drums?
With the self-same triumph shining
In the ardent glance,
That divine, bright fate defiance
That you bore to France.
You! But DER your grave In Flanders
Blow the winter gales
Still for SORROW of your going
All lifes laughter falls.
Borne on flutes Of dawn the answer:
Ger the foam's white track,
Gods work done SO TO our homeland
Comes her hosting back.
"'Come tho dead men with the live men
From the marshes far.
From the mounds In no mans valley,
Liz by cross nor star.
Come to blend with hers the essence
OF their strength and pride,
All the radiance OF the dreaming
For whose truth they died
so the dead men with the live men
Pass an hosting fair,
And the stone Is rolled forever
From the souls despair"

The Future OF the Elk.

Must all our elk herds he extermi-
mated? Is the controversy with the
cattlemen concerning their feeding
grounds never to be ended? These
questions have pressed themselves on
those interested in big game for many
years. Outside of Alaska, except for
the deer in certain sections, the Vel
lowstone elk constitute in the United
States almost the last stand of big
game in large numbers. At this sea-
son, in recent years have come stories
OF elk starving to death. the number
depending, of course, upon the Sc
verify Of the winter.
Elk formerly ranged over one-thIri
OF the mainland of North America
Their range covered the garden
ground of the continent. At one time
their numbers. 1t Is .conservatlvely es-
timated. reached 100000 head. To-
day there are probably 10000 elk In
the United States. the largest herds
being in the Yellowstone National
Park and the surrounding national
forests. The elk have been so pro-
excessively exterminated. or crowded
back into limited areas, there ia fear
that they are following in the foot
steps of the buffalo.
Civilization turning the wilderness
into farms. fences obstructing the mi
gratory movements of elk and the con.
sumption Of their natural food by do
nestle cattle are among the causes
which steadily decreased the num-
bers Of elk until the Government set
aside lands for them to Craze on. Elk
need forage during the four seasons.
HENRY S. GRAVES, Chief Forester,
United States Forest Service, and f.
w. NELSON, chief of the United
States Biological Survey. have offered
to those interested in the preserva ton
Of elk for all time programme the
main feature Of which is the pur-
chase of winter feeding grounds.
These feeding grounds for the Vel
lowstone herds could be purcha sed for
about $SOO,OOO. and would solve the
elk controversy, keep the herds up to
between 10000 and $4,000 animals and
give surplus yearly which might be
killed by sportsmen on certain terri
tory. The same policy might be pur-
sued with the Roosevelt elk herd in
the Olympic National Forest in the
State Of Washington.
There has been much controversy as
to proper policy TO follow by those
who have studied the problem of the
elk and their future. That now put
forward by Messrs. GRAVES and Mel.
SON provides basis for discussion.

The Polish title to Danzig Is based

How the Division VIII March.

When the Twenty seventh Division
marches up Fifth avenue on Tuesday
the people of New York will have
their first opportunity to see mod
ern army division and the manner in
which such an organization, and the
men composing 1t, have been affected
by the war and French army condi-
lions. With the exception of the
engineer regiment and its train
which means its transport vehicles
the field signal battalion, the base
hospital unit, military police, ord
nance repair shop, and ammunition,
supply and sanitary trains, what the
spectators Of the parade will see will
he the combat elements of an Amer
lean infantry division, which should
comprise 2S,139 men. OF the 6,612
horses and mules necessary to such a
division when in the field, we under.
snnd only srrsa. propor<fN. will DC
in the parade. For, according to the
Field Regulations of the army, the
road space, that Is to say, the length
Of division, is thirty and one-quarter
miles. This must be cut down for
the purpose of parade.
/ To do this our army has adopted n
formation from the French, the first
glimpse of which New Workers had
! when Colonel HAYwARD's colored in
fantry regiment marched up Fifth
avenue. In our pandes of former
days we saw the infantry march by in
companies in what is called platoon
front With from twenty to twenty
four men, two deep, stretched across
the avenue. On Tuesday the specta.
tors will see the infantry march in
half battalions, close in mass, four
! squads front plus guides" these units
being styled "march platoons," a
term coming to us from the French
army vocabulary. In non-mllitary
language, the men will march In
groups OF eighteen men in the front
rank-four squads of four men each
plus two guides--and sixteen men In
the rear rank, or thirty-four men in
all, and close together "in mass. u
The marked difference between our
infantry and that of the French as
they march will be in the step; for

MOUNT ROOSEVELT.
4 Memorial and Symbol Combined

To TIE EDITOR or THE suN-Sir: /
am much interested in the note in THE
SUN from lloratio j. Brewer suggest
ing that Mount Rainier be named for
Colonel Roosevelt.
Since this majestic mountain has been
claimed by both the people OF Tacoma
and the people of Seattle under differ
.nt names, and since 1t now bears the
name OF an English officer for whose
memory our countrymen have no par
ticular interest. 1t would seem most nt-
ting that the name could now be changed
e. Mount Roosevelt. named in memory
OF one whose ideals were as pure as
the streams flowing from this grand old
peak Of perpetual snow. whose far
reaching view OF men and events could
be compared with this grand old noun
tain. and whose heart was always so
loyal TO our great Northwest.

Marshal FocH's Enthusiastically

Of the German offensive toward
Amiens. have a peculiar interest for
those who remember the philosophy
which has consistently guided the
military genius of this great soldier.
victories are won," he said, "by
science, that Is true, but also by faith.
When one has faith one does not re-
tire; one stops the enemy where he
finds him."
We recall no man who in the ad-
ministration Of large affairs has more
pertfnaclously adhered to theories
evolved and set forth in the classroom
than has Marshal FocH. From the be-
ginning of his career his lectures and
writings have insisted on the princi-
pie that an army is not defeated until
1t acknowledges defeat; that, given
the faith to maintain the struggle In
the face Of apparent odds, even after
Initial reverses, an army may achieve
success in the last fifteen, the last
five minutes of the contest. Only when
reverses are accepted as disasters,
only when the admission is made that
the enemy has gained victory, Is de-
feat to be feared. That admission
made, whether because of the nsser-
lions Of the enemy or because Of the
losses he has inflicted, victory is gone
In Marshal FocH's most recent utter
ance he says:
THE battle won, Is tho battle in
which one refuses to admit himself
beaten. because the army Is to the
chief what the sword Is to tho SOL
der. Its value lies in the hand that
wields It,"
This Is not new doctrine from Mar
shall FocH. 1t is the doctrine he has
been preaching to French soldiers for
at least a generation. 1t underlies all
his addresses and is apparent in all
his outgivings. "The most brilliant
qualities are nothing without the will
to victory" and that will carries its
possessor through difficult and dan
gerous passages, as it did FocH at the
Marine in 1914, when. though the phys
lcal condition seemed to spell ruin
for him, he triumphed.
This philosophy. like the philoso-
phies that underlie the history max
ing acts of all truly great men, is sim.
pie and easily understandable. 1t is
embodied in many folk proverbs. 1t
says, while there's life there's hope
and Don't give up the ship" and 81
have just begun to fight" 1t is appll-
cable directly to the affairs of every
day life. 1t governs the conduct of
countless unsung heroes in those strug-
giles man contemptuously calls trivial
If they do not affect him Immediately
Without 1t a man has a streak Of vel
low, is a gutter, and with It he is the
| monarch of his destiny.

THE CALL TO REPUBLICANS.
Their Historic Duty Is to Defeat the
Wilson League.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. The
call for the first Republican National
Convention, held at Philadelphia on
June II. 1856, was directed to the peo-
pie of the United States. without regard
to past political differences or divisions"
who are in favor of restoring the ac-
ton of the Federal Government to the
principles OF Washington and Jefferson
and this convention resolved that the
maintenance of tho principles promul-
I gated in the Declaration or Independ-
ence, and embodied In the Federal Con-
stitution, is essential to the preservation
OF our republican institutions" and
that "the Federal Constitution, the
rights OF the States, and the union OF
the States shall be preserved"
| This declaration of principles has
never been repudiated or abandoned; II
Is the historic basis OF the Republican
party. We are committed to the princi-
pies promulgated In the Declaration OF
Independence and embodied In the Fed
eral Constitution, as understood and in
terpreted by Washington and Jefferson.
and this Constitution. and this interpre-
tation, have nothing in common with
1
Nations. which involves the surrender
to a single body. necessarily dominated
by aliens to our system. Of the highest
attributes of sovereignty.
Can any one contemplate George
| Washington or Thomas Jefferson insist
| ing upon the United States bestowins
it's sovereign powers upon body made
up Of representatives OF governments
having. interests and principles directly
opposed to our own? Can any one who
has felt the thrill OF national conscious
ness, embodied In the Republican party
conceive Of that great political power
enrolled In such a cause?
These principles" says Mr.. Jefferson
after outlining his conceptions of gov
eminent in his FIRST inaugural address
form the bright constellation which has
gone before US and guided our steps
through an age of revolution and refor-
nation. The wisdom Of our sages and
| blood Of our heroes have been devoted
to their attainment. They should be the
creed Of our political faith. the text OF
civic instruction. the touchstone by which
to test the services of those we trust
and should we wander from them In
moments of error or alarm, let us hasten
to retrace our steps and to regain the
road which alone leads to peace, lib
erty and safety"
That is the call OF the leadership Of
the Republican party. We have wan
dered from those principles. President
Wilson Is seeking to lead US into the
very vortex Of war upon the false issue
OF promised peace. and the Republi'
can party is rallying once more to the
support OF the Constitution in all its in
tegrity. Is responding to the call which
has never failed Of a patriotic answer
on the part OF the people.
Back to the republic" back to the
principles OF Washington and Jefferson
the principles which have made us trui.
great. This Is the mission Of the Re
publican party; this is the call to ouI
highest aspirations, this the demand Of
our national life.

The Mawklsh Vision.
From the Saturday Rcrieu.

TFo" tHo SuIWuoU HCtteu.
There is an unctuous and arrogant
rectitude about President Wilson's ora
ton at Boston which Is displeasing.
America was the only dislnterested ma
tom Americans were not like any
other soldiers; they had vision. they
had dream. and they we're fighting in
dream. and fighting in a dream they
turned the whole tide OF battle and II
never came back" As IA matter OF cold
fact, the Americans did very little eight
Ing; what they did was done braveiy.
though no one else detected anything
dreamy about their operations, except,
perhaps. in their. stan work. All this
Pharisaical complacency is In the worst
taste; but happily IT. does not represent
the opinion OF the majority OF Ameri-
cans. THE SUN strikes the note OF
sanity when It says that. the American
people can never aRee that they went
into the war, or ever would have gone
into II. except to save themselves and
tho Allies. 1t was nationalism. not in
ternationalism. which crowned their
valor with triumph" 1t dismisses Mr..
Wilson's rhetoric as "a mawkish vision.
