Philadelphia, March with a

Gurney L. Smith is back in civil life

EXPLOITING THE UNIFORM.

No soldier needs to sell foolish 1T
tie patriotic emhlems from door to
door, presuming upon the fact that
he is in uniform to insure their pur-
chase.
No soldier needs to work in his
uniform as solicitor or agent, or in
any capacity where his unifon1, and
not the value of his work or the pro-
duct he is selling, is the drawing
card
Not only are such uses OF the uni
form unnecessary, but they disgrace
the army and the whole people. Says
an officer of the Red Cross:
1T is simply the exploitation of the
uniform for the profit OF the employ
en- and it belittles both the soldier
and the uniform. TIE situations OF
this kind coming to our attention
have not been in the class OF occUpa-
ton that would encourage thrift on
the part of the soldier or a quick ana
easy return to substantial civilian
pursuits.
and discharged soldier unable to
obtain employment vii! be assisted by
the civilian relief department and its
cooperating agencies to obtain worth
while employment.
In some cases where the o!dier's
pay is long overdue, and he is conse-
quently unable to fit himself out in
appropriate civilian clothing, the Red
Cross has arranged that he may have
credit.
The wearing Of the uniform is
dignified and serious business. The
khaki is not designed for an advertis
ing medium, and use Of it as such
opens the way for fakes and impos-
lures without limit.

NINE SWEEPERS.

Throughout the war notable work
has been going on, accorded little no.
tice and yet involving a bravery which
makes it one Of the roTnances of the
sea. This is the sweeping Of mines
from the waters in order that the big
!oatt,csh:ps and transports may ap-
proach their harbcrs in safety.
All sorts of small craft have been
equipped and pressed into this dam
gerous but ncccssary service. Seven
hundred vessels have been constantly
employed around the British Isles
alone.
Each month the mine sweepers op-
Grating in various parts Of the seas
have swept up the mines from $4,000
square miles Of water. 1t was lately
estimated that in all they had trav-
eled Some 1,132,OOO miles, and every
mile was fraught with danger.

THE NEUTRAL REPUBLIC.

The greatest seaport in America has
been tied up for several days by a
strike Of harbor workers. The busi-
ness of the metropolis has been para
iyzed. Food supplies have been IN
terfered with. Fuel has come peril
ously near exhaustion Tens Of thou
sands of men in no way connected
with the strike have en- thrown out
, of work Foreign trade has been
blockaded. Childrens lives have been
imperilled.
And the millions Of people involved
have stood for it all. as usual. There
have been indignant protests from
various individuals. but the public as
a whole has taken the strike as
matter of course-something to be
expected and endured, like blizzard.
It is much the same when labor
struggle anywhere irterferes with the
i normal life OF q community. Private
capital and private labor fight out
their battle as if they were the only
parties concerned. and the public
acquiesces in that view. only lament

During the war and Immediately al

Just what will be done with the

PLACARD CULTURE.

| Bolshevism has developed new
| scheme of education. In one Of the
Russian cities the municipal council
has esta ablished system, of placard
instruction for the masses. Infornla-
ton on law, economics, history, sci
ence, biography, ETC.. is printed Or
posters and stuck up all over town, 50
that he who runs may learn. As set
forth in an official announcement, by
this process it is expected that every
citizen, instead of spending years at a
university, can pick up a general
knowledge Of the pcincipai educa-
tional subjects as he goes along"
The idea is rot altogether unknown
in this country. Much has been
done, during the war, in the way CT
disseminating information by posters,
particularly with regard to Liberty
Loans, War Savings, etc.
A metropolitan paper remarks that
New OIh lSct!l lOt llO SItoI ~
sees on the streets, and inquiries
whether there is not 60 liberal night
school education in the white lights Of
Broadway" Undoubtedly great
deal can be learned from those illu-
minated whiskey, cigaret and patent
medicine ads. But it is possible that
New York and other cities will even
tually go far beyond this, and apply
the Bolshevist idea of using bill
boards, printed and lighted, for the
deliberate dissemination of Of cui-
ture?
There may be something worth
while in Bolshevism after all. We
can all pick UP college education as
we walk along the street. Every bill!
posters becomes professor. and every
patrolman is in line for post-grad-
uate degree The man in the street"
will be recognized as the scholar.
