But, far from letting their case
rest on an appeal for forgiveness,
the sponsors Of the manifesto speak
of "an all-powerful conspiracy
against Germany the "starvation
blockade" and the rest of our old
acquantances from German propa-
ganda literature. Will Germany'a

The Mystery That Is New York

"It's a great town when it gets
mad" sundry distinguished citizens
of Manhattan Island have from time
to time remarked. And rightly But
in betwecn There is no depth OF
stupidity or incptitudc to which it
cannot sink.
Words have begun to fail New
Workers in characterizing their pres
ent Mayor. What can be said Of
anything so colossally inadequate
and laundering and ignorantly cock
sure? Yet it is no fault Of his that
he is Mayor, goodness knows A COM
monplace, petty judge Of the Hearst
stripe was all he was when New
Workers fell over each other to vote
for hinl--and against John Purroy
Mitchell. as good a Mayor as the city
has ever known. There is no evad-
ing the responsibility or pretending
that the voters were craftily misled
or made a natural mistake. They
elected mediocrity and the Hearst
stamp with their eyes opcn-pre-
sumably because that was what they
preferred.
The elephant has the same slow
patience and docility, interspersed
with occasional fits Of independence
and holy wrath. And he is an ex-
cccdingly intelligent animal. We
are inclined to think that New York
is intelligent, too. 1t is rather as
If bored cynicism controlled the

There arc various reforms and
betterments which the soul of New

Making Americanization Hard

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. The task OF Americanizjnq ,he
foreign born is not alone an urgently
necessary one, bat one that bids fair
to tax to the utmost the efforts and
resources Of all citizens who have the
good Of ocr common country At heart.
This promised, may we not ask our
selves if we have not, at its Very out
set. made the task still more dinicult
by having deprived these racial ele-
ments of their accustomed beverages.
namely, beers and simple wines?
Employed as they are. in greater
part. N the more laborious occupations.
and finding so much of cheer and re-
freshment in such plebcian DRINKS.

gence which in their homelands has
for centuries been an important part
Of their diet and social customs?

Germans OUTWARD Bound
By William c. Dreher
Berlin Correspondent Of The Tribune

II ERL1N, Oct. 10.--As the stream Of
n returning prisoners of war in
creases in volume the question Of
emigration is occupying more attention
in the press. The backilow Of this
stream will add some 100000 or 800, 900
to the population, all men who must
seek places where they can work. AS
there is already probably an equal
number of people without work in Ger
many, it can easily be seen that the
problem Of finding work for the old
soldiers will be an extremely difficult
one, and the coming winter. which al
ready promises other hard tasks for the
government, will be rendered still
harder one through the increased num-
Der of idle hands seeking employment.
The talk about emigration is, there
fore, no mere space filler for the news
paper editors The necessity in gencIal
for an extensive emigration movement
is everywhere conceded; even those
who dcplorc it most are hard put
to suggest how the German population
is to be fed and employed if efforts
are made to keep all Germans at home.

College-Made Utopias

~OAN SC~AvAnOC OkOHldS
When the theorists mix in, they
usually make a mess of it, This
sentence is drawn from a booklet on
college Made Utopias and Labor
Unrest which Dorr A. Felt, hresi-
dent Of the Illinois Manufacturers
Association, has been impelled to
write.
The young collegian, of the class
that feels an urge to make the
world better, is as chockful of good
intentions as a chocolate bar is of
almonds. But, his taste not running
to practical experience, and theory
having an exaggerated Importance
in his mind, he sets out to find a
formula or body of systematized
doctrine to make all things perfect
Now, theory is good; the generaliz-
ing faculty has its function, but
goes wild when it gets It's halter off.
f only those who play the role of
instructors could be induced to take
postgraduate course in some fac
tory or some productive undertake
ing.
The problems of humans arc at
tackled by those Who leave out Of
consideration the behavior Of hu-
mans. 1t is utterly unscientific. 1t
is trying TO place in the realm Of
pure thought problems which have
little pure thought in them. Sociol-
ogy is a branch Of learning not open
to metaphysics, but calls as much
for a careful observation Of facts as
a physical science.
There are darkness and confusion
when thought Of what ought to be
shunts aside perception of what is.
Recently theorizing energy has
run toward trying to establish that
personal business success is shame
ful and to the general injury The
presumption is the other way. The
successful employer is labor's best
friend. His prosperity normally
flows from the skillful performance
Of the function of direction He IN
troduces methods which in time are
initiated by his rivals, and thus his
lever lifts society up Yet among
many groups proftmaking is rated
a badge of dishonor. This frame Of
mind menaces the general welfare,
for destructive radicalism is seldom
dangerous unless backed by the the
orctical preaching Of disinterested
and supposedly enlightened authori-
ties.
Not in hostility to truth, but IN
hearty friendship, therefore. some
Of the endowments might we'll be de
voted to educating the educated, or
rather the miseducated. Why not
make it a condition to holding the
DEGREE of S. d. doctor of sociology
that the candidate have clinical eX-
perience as an employer and as a
member Of some labor union--not as
make-bclieve nor as settlement
worker, but as charged with the re-
Sponsibility Of making business
undertaking carry itself or Of ac-
commodating life to strict labor
union rules?

Millions Going

The people already understand this
situation, and it is reported that very
many persons one writer says masses
Are already making their PREPARATIONS
to emigratc. Another writer says" Hun
dreds Of thousands of our people are
thinking of making up their bundles
and turning their backs upon the home
land. The ghost of emigration under
compulsion is walking, and the effect
has already been so great in extensive
circles of our people that one might well.

This writcr-an Independent Socialist
thinks the volume Of this emigration will
reach dimensions such as have never
been known before in the history of the
world and he refers to estimates that

Life of Higher Education in
U. s. Menaced, He Says
in Report.

ITHACA, n. Y, Oct. 2O.-DeclarIne
that the life of higher education IN
the United States is menaced, Presi-
dent Jacob Gould Schurman, Of Cor
nell University, devotes the greater
part of his annual report to the neces-
sity for proper compensation for the
faculties of the country's universities
President Sckurman asserts that II
VIII be necessary to raise no less
than slO,0O0,000 in, the nationwide
endowment fund campaign now being
launched to provide living wage for
CornelPs professors, assistant profess
sors and instructors. The minimum
OF S5,000,000 set for the fund he re-
CARDS as not enough by half. Presi-
dent Schurman's report reads, in
part:
The new age on which the world
Is entering is making heavier de-
mands on teachers than ever before.
AT this moment when the logic of the
situation summons the United States
TO undertake theintellectual leader
ship OF the world our uniyerslties
are paying their professors salaries
smaller than the wages received by
carpenters, mechanics and trainmen.
and their instructors less than un-
skilled laborers and ditch diggers.
Cornell salaries in 1e1s-l9l9 we've
practically the same as they were in
1900, averaging for professors s32s5.
for assistant professors s1,751, and
for instructors, 81 ,029.
