martial system he has as counsel Junior
officer, IMMERSED in the duties of a trial
lawyer, subject to unpeasantness if he

strict rules of evidence or by the exercise
of that judicial discretion which tempers
the administration of the law in the civil

absurdly incommensurate with the gray

Mr.. Baker announced not long ago:

Military Affairs is more anxious to mod

OF military justice hinges more on inter

bureau Of the army can easily be mod

any committee Of civilian lawyers needed
to suggest such reforms. They are as
patent as the abuses which make them
necessary.

When France Asked Nothing Of Us

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: When America sought the aid Of
France IN our Revolutionary War some Of
our delegates thought to lavish nromiaes on
France. ONE Of them offered the assistance
Of the United States to recover Cannda. and
suggested plan for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of
Newfoundland. France generously refused
these offers. She asked no return for her
assistance

achieved by the victory of de Grasse over
the English fleet and the consequent failure
Of supplies and reHnforcements to Cornwnl1is

Summer holds her leafy show,
You still come to us from nowhere,
Like gray leaves across the snow.
In back ways where odd and end go
To your meals you drop down sure.

There is no bird half so harmless,
None SO sweetly rude as you,
None so common and so charmless,
None of virtues nude as you.

For you linger with US still,
Though the wintry winds rcprove you
And the snow is on the hill

Recognizing Outlaws

Correspondents in Paris, whether ac-
curatcly giving information no one
knows, intimate nothing having been
learned from the PrinlSipo fasco, that
the Lenine Trotzky government is about
to be recognized. In the Echo dc Paris
M. flutn, who has been known to dare
to publish facts. puts the matter mega
lively, saying "hc cannot say that Presi-
dent Wilson is disinclncd to give the
request honorable consideration"
The mind flows back to words used by
President Wilson when accepting his
second nomination. to wit:
"So long rs the power rests with mn
tho government Of the United States will
refuse TO extend the hand Of welcome 10
any ono who obtains power In a sister
republic by trcachcry and violence No
permnneney can be given to The affairs
Of my republic by title based upon
intrigue md assassination. / declared
this to be tho policy Of this ndmjnistra-
ton within three weeks after assumed
tho Presidency. ] here again avow It,"
This principle was laid down concern
ing llucrta and his government, but it
is even more applicable to Lcninc and
his government. Lenne, more than
llucrta, rests his power upon treachcry.
violence, intrigue and assassination. If
the Mexican dictator dispersed Il con-
grcss. the Russian dictator dispersed 4
freely elected constituent assembly. If
lluelta had guilty knowledge of the
murder of Madero, Leninc would have
killed Kerensky az he has killed hun
dreds of others, if he could have capt
ured him. Nearly every conspicuous
Russian identified with efforts to create
free Russia is either dead or in exile.
Nine. Breshkovsky, grandmother of the
revolution, after thirty years in Siberia,
is refugee in this country. Tschai-
kovsky has been protected from Lenine's
savagery only by Ally troops at Arch
angel. Our State Department, speaking
for the President, is formally on record
as saying that the Lenine government is
one Of outlaws.
Not only is it an organization of out
laws, but it openly proclaims it's purpose
to march its mercenary armies against
all free peoples. Practically every charge
brought against the Kaiser can be
brought against Lenine and his co-work-
ers Both are apostles of force--thc
Russian being more brutal in it's use than
the Prussian. One no more than the
other recognizes that just government
rests on the consent of the governed.
And it is intimated that President Will
son is considering the possibility Of
claspng hands with the bloody monster
of Russia The report is not credible
Those forwarding it are guilty of gross
insult.

CSllt Artopos Of your editorial "1he Din

nit me TO suggest TINT the generally felt
and acknowledged failure Of tho official
pnRenntry connected with Tuesdays cee-
bration WINS primarily due to an entire mis-
conception of tho probem-a faIure TO
grasp the essentials Of this order Of design.
If, to the writer of your editorial, civic dec
Grafton appears tho most difficult Of all
arts, it shows that in this case nm easy
thing was made difficult that artificial diff
culties were created--tha the entire "at
tack" was wrong.
For it is a characteristic Of every
cessful work Of art that it seems unlabored,
easy and inevitable
Street pageantry and decoration, being
for occasion, are not architecture, which
is for continual and daily use and enjoy
mcnt. Therefore, such decoration should
not be made even remotely to resemble
architectural art, for if it does so it i'm
mcdatcly and inevitably enters into COM
petition with the surrounding architecture,
with which it cannot hope to compete, but
which it may nevertheless outrival by rea-
son of its gayety. its brlliance and by
beauty of an entirely different sort.
Instead of being treated to an exhibition
of pagcantry and decoration as an art in
itself we we're confronted with imi-
taton architecture of an ancient unin-
spired, cumbersome sort; false in fact. false
and end of it all, which was to enhance and
, adorn the spectacle of marching troops.
1t was false in fact because it was lath
and plaster made to initiate enduring stone
1t was false in taste because it echoed the
taste of imperial Rome by way of imperial
France. 1t was obstructive because it actu-
ally INSTRUCTED the movement of the troops
and the vision of the spectators.
The trump cards in the decorators pack
color and movement, played scarcely
at all--the color and movement Of green
swaying garlands, of great banners in the
wind. of gilded ropes supporting red and
blue and green sky-percing masts
Street pageantry and decoration is an
art in itself. governed by rational and logi-
cal laws like any other. If / were asked to
formulate these roughly and briefly should
do as follows:
L. Organic unity The pageantry should
cmanatc from one mind. should symbolic
one dominant idea, and this Jurisdiction
should extend over all private displays
whatsoever.
9 Continuity. The eye and mind should
be carried continuously onward to special
points Of accent and enrichment

A Week of Verse
The Silent Navy

dFrom The Yais Repie.o)
10 LOOK you beyond Heligoland,
~ German sailors:
Go look you beyond Heigoland
To what the dawn brings forth
1--WE have passed beyond HeligoIand.
And have strained our gaze far off to west,
Where the shadow of. silent navy
Rose between sea and sky"
Go she'll the English coast,
German sailors:
Go she'll the English coast,
To show you have no fear
I'VE have sheled the English coast,
And the blood of the innocent stains our
hands,
But the thought of silent navy
Made US scurry away"
Go sweep the northern waters
German sailors:
Go sweep the northern waters.
To find what may be there.
1--WE have swept the northern waters.
Till we came to Jutland Reef at last,
When the smoke of silent navy
Made Us break Off the battle
Go down beneath the waves.
German sailors
Go down beneath the waves,
Till you come to the open sea.
1--WE have been beneath the waves
And have carried slaughter to tho seas;
But the shadow of silent navy
Guarded our enemy"
Put forth to sea at last,
German sailors:
Put forth to sen at last.
The day, the day has comet
1--WE have put to sea at last,
And, TO signal, dropped our flags
At the bidding of silent navy
Watching our doom Of shame"
