Marshal Haig and the Yankees.

A furore has been started in Washington
because Field Marshal Sir Douglas Hag does
not mention the American army in his official re-
port on the war. This omission certainly is not
because the marshal did not recognize and ap-
preciate the services of the Yankee troops who
co-operated with the British army and who
were under his command. the glory of the
Twenty-seventh, first to break the Hindenburg
line, taking the St. Quentin canal tunnel, one
of the most wonderful exploits of the war, and
of the Thrtieth, who aided in that push that
broke the hold of the Hun on Flanders and
sent the army of the Bavarian crown prince
flying in disorderly retreat, will not be dimmed
by the casual oversight" of the British mar
shall. These two Yankee divisions fought with
the Australians and had the post of honor at
the great victory that turned the right of the
German line. 1t is barely possible that Sir
Douglas Haig considered himself restricted to
reporting on British arms alone, and 50 he left
to others to deal with the Americans. 1t is a
fact that he and the officers under him have
paid merited tribute of praise to the soldiers
from over here, yet even this emphasizes the
oddly of the fact that they should not be
referred to in an official report

Harry Hawker's Flight.

The fact that Harry Hawker did not make
land, but perhaps met his death in his effort at
flight across the Atlantic does not detract
from the magnificent daring of his at
tempt. 1t was neither reckless disregard for
dangers to be encountered, nor foolhardness
sublimated, that led him into his endeavor. All
the chances had been carefully weighed, the
difficulties calculated and as far as possible
the elements against success discounted. Yet
the wisest of calculations could not encompass
all the uncertainties that surround such an
undertaking. That it has probably come to
naught will only encourage others to make the
trial.
Hawker and his companion knew this and
with the whole situation clearly before them,
dared the unknown and ventured on the over
seas trip with as little of ceremony to pre-
cede their fight as if they were giving an ex-
men intrepid is to mildly phrase the quality of
daring they exhibit. 1t is that superb kind of
courage that has led man from the beginning
to pit his skill and strength against almost any
odds, depending on his own cool judgment to
see him successfully through. And this has
brought to humanity most of its progress,
practically all of its conquest over inanmate
things, and from which yet will spring the fu-
ture triumphs of the race.
Undaunted, Hawker flew away from land,
resting his all on the outcome of his venture.
That he should come so near to victory and
then fail will disappoint a. world of watchers
more than it will him. All of these will hope
he comes safely back to land, although the

Meanwhile the Yankee flyers in the Azores

Free Ship Contracts

It is the sinanifestly right thing that the
shipbuilding industries should be released from
governmental restraints with regard to
booking contracts. There is no apparent
reason why shipbuildine should not resume on
strictly peace-time basis. The government has
placed many orders for ships for the merchant
marine fleets as well as for naval ships. and.
according to statements made by the head of the
shipping board, many other contracts for ma
rine ships are pending. But the placing of gov
ernment contracts should have nothing what
ever of compelling suggestiveness about it.
Runors have been for some time afloat con-
corning foreign contracts for trade ships which,
aIlegedly, would be placed with American ship
building concerns if only the restrictions upon
American yards were removed There is no
doubt whatever that every country in Europe
with a seafront and one or more seaports, is
cherishing an ambition to launch into the ocean
transportation game. AS to whether foreign
orders Of 100000 tons or for 100000 tons of
shipping, with free opportunity in the offer
ing, will be placed with American yards during
this current year is matter for surmise.
! Home business should be and under free con-
sditions, undoubtedly would be given preferential
consideration. The emergency fleet is, perhaps,
still emergent, but nothing like so pressingly
emergent as it appeared to be this time last
year The United States must take her right
fu position in the Woodworking trade. but
also must play fair in the business of placing
contracts for the ships.-Baltlmore American.

About Feeding Russia.

Among others who should know better, the
New Republic accuses Americans of standing I'm
feelingly by while Russian women and children
starve. The charge is monstrous, and as absurd
as the German assertion that the Allies de-
liberatey starved to death thousands of Ger
mans. Food was offered the Russians on the
easy conditions that they cease their fighting
and try to live at peace among themselves and
the rest of the world. And these terms were re-
fused. The bolshevk leaders condemned the
proposal as calculated to hamper them in their
political activity, and preferred starvation with
the privilege of spreading their ideas by force
of arms to peace, food and chance to re-es-
tablish order in the land Americans are not
without interest in Russia, but they see no
good reason, why they should contribute to the
perpetuaton of the lunacy now prevailing there
by furnishing food for the madmen and forcing
them to take it. When the red wave recedes
We will help to revive Russia and restore life
there, but we can not do it under present cir
cumstances.

The VaZleg's FiQht for Skips

Whoever is back of the movement to divert
ships from New Orleans to New York, and
whatever the motive, the cities Of the Mississippi
Valley must prevent its success and it is graft
flying that Chicago and St. Louis transportation
societies have already taken action to preserve
the natural advantages of this incomparably
rich valley, which furnishes such vast quantities
OF exports and consumes so much of the inn
ports from the lands to the south. If New
Orleans should not be furnished ships, attempt
to navigate our streams would fail. Such con-
dition would bring both great delay and great
expense, both on imports and imports. Further
more, trying to get all the exports and all the
imports through single port has brought con-
gestion many times. In the first year of the
war the congestion the cause of anxiety
not only to every thoughtful American, but to
all the allied officials. The maintenance of con-
ditions that encourage such congestion is a man
ifest folly.
New Orleans must have an adequate supply
of ships. But it cannot be permanently main
tanned by official order. 1t will not be sufficient
for the United States to carry its products else
where. 1t must provide facilities for bringing
in imports. Ships must have return cargoes, to
operate at profit and the charges and cond-
tons must be satisfactory. We cannot expect
to do an extensive export business with the
Central and South American states, with New
Orleans or other ships unless we take large
quantities of imports. But under proper ar
rangements we can distribute imports from
Mexico, Central and South America throughout
the Mississippi valley and save the entire freight
haul from New York and part of the haul by
water.
The Mississippi Valley association must be
vigilant to preserve river transportation. The
problem is more than deepening the rivers and
buying barges. II includes arrangements for
exchange of goods, developments Of discount
banking and many other essential elements with
which we are less familiar than Europe or even
New York.--St. Louis Globe-Democrat

HIDING BEHIND THE WHITE HOUSE.

Chairman Cummings of the democratic ma
tional committee, assisted by late secretary Of
the treasury, emits a tremendous smoke screen,
designed to mask the movements Of his party
as it maneuvers for place from whence to hop
off in the next presidential campaign. 1t may
reasonably be assumed that the chairman and
Mr.. McAdoo have outlined the policy of the
party, and that they intend to continue as they
have been for the past six years. hiding behind
the White House.
Il wonder" says Chairman Cummings,
what phrases of abuse, what language of
vituperation, would have agitated the political
atmosphere if the president had led the country
to the disastrous conclusion of an unsuccessful
war" We confess our inability to answer this,
but we can tell Mr.. Cummings where he can get
an idea. All he has to do is to look over the
files OF the Omaha Hyphenated for the early
months of 1918, when its owner was putting up
the hardest fight he knew how to make in his
effort to take the control of the war out of the
hands of the president. Also, he might examine
some of the speeches made in the senate by
Jimmy" Reed of Missouri, Vardaman of Mis-
sissippi, Hardwick of Georgia, Chamberlain of
Oregon, and few other sachems of the tribe.
An examination of the back numbers of Colonel
George Harvey's magazine might also afford
some notion of what an eminent democrat posi-
bly, could have said if the president had involved
US in disaster. Even the New York World and the
New York Times, notable opponents of demo-
cratic policies, have contributed in measure to
a symposium that could scarcely support the
insinuation that it is from republicans that
criticisms of the president have emanated.
The deliberate attempt to make it appear
that victory in the war is triumph for the
presidents party can easily be answered by the
record that party made in congress, and the
further proposal to assimilate all credit for
whatever of success may come out of the peace
negotiations must have similar issue.

Soldiers Wife--A. corporal in the
United States army receives $36 per
month. It Is not easy at present to
secure the release Of a soldier serv-
ing with the army of occupation.
Volunteers are being enlisted to re-
place the drafted men who are serv-
ing in the regular army units. These
are being sent across to Germany as
rapidly as possible. However, the
first step In securing the release of
a soldier for Industrial or other rea-
sons Is to file an AFFIDAVIT with the
commander Of the company in
which he is serving, setting forth the
reasons. The rest Of the business is
carried on through military chan
nels. No time has been fixed for
the withdrawal of the American
troops from Germany, but it is to
be done as soon as possible. A SOL
dier's wife is not compelled to pay
any bills contracted by her husband
prior to or during the war. The
law relieves all men in the army or
navy from civil process for the dura-
ton Of the war. After peace has
been declared the bills must be paid,
however.

Getting Soldiers Release.

Mrs. c. F.-Affldavits asking for
the release from the service of q
soldier on account of dependents, or
for any other reason, must be sent to
the officer commanding the company
in which the soldier Is serving. 1t
will do no good to send them to the
War department, as they would only
be returned. Unless your son Is
serving with a unit that is now in
the army Of occupation, he will prob
ably be released from service before
you could get the affldavits drawn
and forwarded. Orders are out to
have all drafted men in the United
States released at the earliest posi-
BILE moment, and some reports have
it that all will be out by June IS.
Troops are being brought home from
Europe with utmost expedition, and
Secretary Baker has said he hopes
to have every American soldier out
Of France by the end Of August.
This, Of course, does not mean that
the troops now in Germany will be
home by that time.
