THOSE GERMAN SHIPS

Now comes Admiral Rodman and says that the Ger
man naval vessels, at least those of the first class, should
be sunk. Admiral Rodman has spent forty years at sea,
and his expressions on naval matters carry great weight.
And, when he says that the German ships should be sunk,
it is a little difficult for a mere layman to maintain that
something else should be done with them. And yet, the
investment in a, great battleship is so immense that 1t
seems like a sad waste of good material to destroy these
ships when we are spending good money to build others.
If Admiral Rodman holds, as, apparently, he does,
that their type of construction differs so greatly from
that of our own ships that they cannot be operated sat
isfactorly as parts of the American navy, and this diff
ference also exists in the case of any other navy to which
some of these vessels might conceivably become attacked;
and if he holds, further, that the cost Of remodeing
would be practically equal to the value of the ships after
the work were done, then we may consider the matter
settled, SO far as the matter Of utilizing these ships for
naval purposes is concerned.
But it is to be hoped that even if this decision is
reached. there will be careful investigation of the posi-
bility Of utilizing these ships, or some of them, for COM
merciaI purposes.

CONSTITUTIONAL SEDITIONlSTS

Aside from all the other testimony introduced by
the government in the trial of the five socialists in Chi
cago for violation Of the espionage law. the evidence of
the men themselves proves conclusively that Berger and
at least one or two of his companions are temperament
ally and constitutionally, seditionists and disloyalists
Naturally Berger cannot now be punished, under a
law passed less than two years ago, for acts committed
eight or ten years ago, long before this particular law
was in, existence: But the admissions forced from Berg
er, supported by documentary evidence, shows that years
ago, regardless Of his professed disapproval of the
doctrines Of the I. w. ". and Johann Most, he was an
enemy, not merely of the American government, but OF
government in general, an anarchist at heart.
Similar admissions were obtained from other defend
ants in this case. Those admissions cannot increase their
liability under the present law, but they have an import
ant bearing as indications of purpose and character. The
ohense with which these men are charged are in per-
feet keeping with their own chracters as established by
their own statements. Socialism, philosophically stared
by men Of intellect, is the direct opposite of anarchy.
But Socialism as it exists in the United States today cam
not be distinguished from anarchy. 1t isn't necessary
to scratch an American Socialist very deeply to como
across the anarchistic streak.

MAINTAINING WHEAT PRICES

If the world wheat price next summer Is less than
would permit the basic rate of $3.50 in the United States,
as it probably will be. it will be the duty of the American
government to buy, at the guaranteed price al. the Amer
lean wheat that is offered for sale. The willingness of
the government to do this will naturally result in main
tanning the domestic price at the guaranteed level. The
American miller will not be able to buy at a lower price,
because the wheat can be sold to the government.
The loss to the government will be confined to the
shrinkage in price on the quantity available for export.
But it will be necessary for the government, not only
to be prepared to take over this wheat, but to take steps
to exclude from the United States wheat of foreign
growth. The consumers of the United States, who, in the
end must pay the price, ought to be willing, and I'M
doubtedly are willing, to pay the cost of keeping faith
with the farmer and paying him the price promised him
for his wheat. But we have made no guarantee to the
farmers Of foreign countries, and the foreign producer
must not be permitted to bring his wheat into the Unned
States and unload it on the government at a long price.

ures to the United States and to New
York and the result would show that,
out of this country's population of
100. 0O0, 900, at least 100000 are
sick, and out of New York's popula-
ton of 100000 approximately $780,
600 are sick. Just stop to think what
that can in the loss of a alone,
to say nothing of the doctors bills.
The United Hospital Fund, which is
starting a campaign for more money
to carry on and amplify the hospital
work in New York, collects and pub
fishes full and uniform statistics of
the work and finances of the hospitals,
and this fund provides a way for
every citizen of means to perform a
real public service. The strain of
war has been keenly felt by the
United Hospitals of New York, as
large numbers of the. profession went
to the front. Thirty-six out Of the
forty-six united hospitals closed the
year with deficits. amounting in the
aggregate to $391,341. AS a result,
some Of them have been compelled
to reduce their free service.
The United Hospital Fund is the
war chest idea in hospital giving, for
it collects funds to pay in part for the
free work done by the forty-six' hos
pitfalls that are in the fund, and it is
the hope of those interested in this
work that at least $1,000, 900 will be
raised during the coming year for the
fund. That hope should be justified
when one stops to think that New
York is far behind London and the
great cities of Europe in its number
of hospital beds in proportion to popu-
lation. For contagious diseases, Lon
don, in 1913, had three beds to New
York's And this shouldn't be so,
for, in hospital facilities as we'll as in
other facilities, New York should lead
the world.

D AFTER THE WAR

The war being practically over, the treatment to be
given by the respective nations to the great military
leaders who have contributed largely to the result is re-
ceivng some attention. 1t was announced a few days
ago that General Haig and Admiral Beatty were to be
made earls by the British government and that. lesser
titles were to be bestowed on several other Of the war
leaders. In some of these cases large grants of money
were to accompany the bestowal of the title,
When a British subject is raised to the peerase he
lakes his seat in the house of lords, where he can if he
chooses, WELD quite important influence in shaping ma
aonal legislation. The granting of the title, therefore, is
iar from being an empty honor. If accom- panied by a
grant of money, as is to be done in this case. and as has
been customary in the past when the occasion seemed
10 warrant it, the individual so honored is very substan-
TALLY benefited by being placed in a position where he
need do no worrying over the matter of finances for the
rest of his life. John Churchill and Arthur Wellesley
were given recognition for their military services by be-
ing advanced through various stages of titular nobility
until they became dukes of the realm. and were awarded
Marlborough as a special recognition. Nelson was ad-
vanced to the peerage. Wolseley became Lord Wolseley,
Kitchener became an earl, and Roberts was given a SINH
lar honor. In most of these cases valuable estates were
awarded with the title.
In this country we have no peerage, and We have
been a little chary of awarding large estates to our dis
tinguished generals and admirals. The practice has been
= e military heroes run for political Offices, and take
their chances. A grateful and admiring country made
Grant president, a position for which he was entirely un-
fitted, and left him to end his days in very straitened
circumstances. A wiser plan would have been to elect
2 statesman president and vote Grant ? pension which
would have insured his proper maintenance for the rest
OF his life.
The usual discussion has been begun with reference
TO the possibility of electing General Pershing president.
The thing might work well, but the probabilities are
against It.
