Author Describes War Ro-

Highest Hill
WASHINGTON, GREEN,
LAFAYETTE THERE

For 81 the dwellers around Iron iiili'
Delaware. there has been drawn the
pretty picture Of Washington. Lafay-
ette and Greene on that height by
George Morgan, in his volume "The
True Lafayette In treating the man
euvre OF Washington's army, leading
up 70 the Battle Of the Brandywine,
this sketch is given: Iron Hill Invited
Washington's eye, as he rode over the
dcbaiable ground between his own
forces and the enemy. Lafayette and
Greene were with him: and together
they ascended the height. Here is was.
according 20 Francis Vinton Greene,
thai General Nathaniel first made La
fayetie's acquaintance, and began that
warm friendship which continued I'M
broken throughout the remaining years
OF Greene's life. and after his death
was extended by Lafayette TO Greenes
son and grandson. The three, with
their aides. must have made an inter-
estlng group as they reiued their horses
on the crest Of the highest hill in Della
ware. To the east, looking back to-
ward their own army. they saw the
broad valley OF the Christiana, the far
away housetops in Wilmington, and the
mile-wide river with its many sails.

them IN the north-and-soulh ravines
such ripping foaming streams as the
White Clay. the Red Clay, pike Creek,
Mill Greek and the Brandywine. Along
which OF these would Washington
draw his line Of defense? Greene's
first Hne was wiped out by events.
Then. by Greene's advice, the Red Clay
position was speedily abandoned as
untenable. Howe marched through

QUE STAGGERING RATIONAL DEBT.

0nly by rigid economy, says Congressman
Good. who is to be chairman Of the new appro-
,,riations committee, can the expenses OF the
government for some time to come be kept down
h four billions a year. With the bills yet TO be
acted upon, the appropriations for 1917 VIII ag-
ersgate ten billions, making the total war ap-
nropriations forty-seyen billion dollars. 10
meet this over sixteen billions have been raised
BIZ taxes and nearly twenty-six billions By loans,
bonds. notes and War Savings stamps. On
JUly first the national debt VIII be twenty-four
billions, whereas it was less than billion
when We entered the war.
The ten billions for the fiscal year 1920
means one hundred dollars per capita for our
population. The four billions needed thereafter
for peace expenditures AMI to carry the war
debt viii mean forty dollars apiece for every
human being in our land. And, as Mr- Good
points out, only by the wisest craftsmanship,
ly the strictest economy and by firmly resisting
al projects for reckless expenditure like those
contemplated by the advocates Of government
ownership Of public utilities can our peace
budget be kept as low as four billions year.

Kansas City Star: The next con-
gress Is likely to have a very busy
and interesting session, but it is to be
hoped that in its concern with many
big questions the body will not fail
10 enact law whereby dangerous
enemy aliens may be speedily deported
from this country.
In statement made few DAYS ago
Attorney General Palmer revealed the
fact that nearly 500 such aliens. many
OF them convicted criminals, spies and
agents, will be turned loose upon the
country when peace is concluded I'M
less the next congress passes legisla-
ton providing the necessary machin-
cry for their deportation.
OF the 1000 persons now interned in
detention camps in the United States.
1t was pointed out that more than half
had expressed a desire to be returned
to the fatherland. But about 500 of
the most dangerous element have ez-
pressed no such desire. Evidently the
pickfngs in America are too pronis-
ing for any thought Of returning to
the dear native land.
IT has been good OF America to be
hospitable to all corners for SO many
years; perhaps too good for her She
has long housed the poor, the oppress-
ed, the ignorant and the outcast of
many lands. In the main this has
been commendable. and Americas gen.
crosby has not been often abused
But that 1t can be abused by some
has now been demonstrated, and that
the country has some recourse in such
cases was shown in the recent de-
portation Of few rampant l. w. WIS
nuisances.
Let the house cleaning continue
while it is yet spring, and let i'm
mediate and drastic legislation pro-
vide the wide open door for every
alien who has proved that he cannot
become an American.

individuals find debt bad enough, though in
civilized lands it is no longer the terrorizing
thing it used to be when citizens could be kept
indefinitely in prisons of indescribabIe filth

honest man who is involved and would pay
if he could, has only to turn his affairs over to
federal court, having nothing worse to fear
than the loss of what he has. But bankrupt

PUNISH THIS GUILTY ONE

states win have TO make up the diff

not come out OF the state treasures,
but out OF federal road gift But
the point is. congress has declared

WHAT is INToxlcATIoN.

New York Times Evidently there
will soon confront the courts a large
and difficult task--a task so large
and so difficult that its performance
in a way satisfactory 10 even half of
the people can be hoped only by the
maddest OF optimists. What the
courts. viii have TO do is 10 declare
exactly what proportion Of alcohol in
a beverage makes it Intoxicating.
The trouble with that question is
not that it has no answer, but that
it has at least as many answers as
does the inquiry as TO the correct
method of making tribal laws. and
again every single one Of them is
right-which always is most eonfus-
ing to judicial minds and others. 4
To the cold and impartial scientist
who is also an etymoiogist, even the
minutest quantity of alcohol is lin
toxicating"- that IS, IN some de-
gree, the effects OF any narcotic
poison. But the scientist would also
admit that. though all these effects
are properly described as 'intoxf-
eating" they are not necessarily
deleterious and may be most benefit
cial in the meeting of an emergency
due 10 pain or fatigue. So the courts
viii get little real help from the sci
entists.
Reliance on '.laymen'' win DE
equally vain. For the judges will be
toId-sand shown. if they REQUEST it,
that the intoxicating potency OF a
liquid. spirituous or malt, depends
less on its alcoholic content than on
what the worlds people call the
Carrying power Of the individual
drinkers. One of them may suffer
more disturbance OF mental and
physical balance than another from
ten times the quantity OF whisky or
brandy
All this, OF course, is discussion in
the domain OF extremes, and there
fore not very profitable, but such
arguments viii be made by both the
wets and the drys, and they must be
met somehow before the required
definition OF Intoxicating" can be
formulated.
But the problem is only an old one
in a new form, for it is no harder to
decide when a drink is "intoxicat-
ing than when q man is "intoxi-
Gated" In both cases the matter is

derailed or dynamited of late, the freight cars
looted and the passengers, some of whom were
Americans, robbed of their valuables. It is in

that Generals Diaz and Blanquet are endeavor-
