Further Objection to Dividing the Men

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: ]
had always supposed that to wear the
United States uniform Is distin-
guished honor. regardless of what part
of the world 1t has seen service in.
To create a class distinction between
of1cers and men of the same grade by
an advertisement on the uniform seems
TO be an objectionable mistake. Envy
and resentfulness could be avoided by
giving gold medal to each soldier and
sailor performing service requiring I'M
usual daring and courage.
az the uniform is to be one thing for
service in France and another for
Mexico. why not arrange to have the
American flag constructed to indicate
by many wonderful colors the degree
or loyalty to the country, the amount
OF personal wealth. &c, OF the owner.
For instance. those living on Pennsyl-
van:a avenue. the Back Bay district,
Mob Hill, Lake Shore Drive, Euclid
avenue and Fifth avenue might be per-
mftted TO have gold stars on their flags.
Those less fortunate could have the flag
arranged with green stripes instead of
red, and for certain politician from
the middle West nag made I'D of
thirteen yellow stripes. the field in the
upper left hand corner to be yellow on
which should rest forty.eight yellow
stars.
This suggestion seems Just as rea-
sonable. and should be equally we'll

south Germany and the Russians

One of the many curious reports
that have come TO the world from
Germany is that which represents the
South Germans as irritated by the
"weakness" of those in whom author
ity IS now vested in Berlin.
That Prussians should be accused
of weakness OF any kind Is singular
enough; that the accusation should
come from the South Germans is par
t!Cularly surprising.
The general understanding concern
ng Germany has been that from
Prussia and 10y PrusSianS the welding
Of the nation into an iron bound mill
tary machine was accomplished that
Prussians. through the application of
carefully devised educational methods,
wrought the South Germans into
something approaching themselves in
hardness; that the will TO rule ema-
mated from Berlin, and only with con-
siderable difficulty was implanted In
the more easy going southerners.
But now those transformed South
Germans raise their voices against
their teachers and rebuke them for
vacillation and lenity. The Bava-
rianS are urging KURT EIsNER. their
Prime Minister, 10 go to Berlin and
restore order. "Opinion is hardening
against the selection of Berlin as the
meeting place of the new national
assembly" not because the non-Prus-
slams fear domination by the PruS-
slams in its deliberations, hut on nc
count of the weakness OF the central
government"
II would be a curious thing II the
pupils should prove TO have surpassed
the masters in frmness, and Prussia
should stand among the German
States rebuked for its impotence aud
fcebleneSS.
