Night Attack

/ WYNN (tNaSN
Some years after the civil war
gathering of veterans of both side
was exchanging "reminiscences at ,
banquet given BY the board Of trad,
Of New York, writes Mrs. La Sail,
Corbell Pickett in Lppincott's
The presiding officer was Colonel
J. J. Phillips Of the Ninth Virgins
regiment, Pickett's division. He
was speaking Of night attacks and
recalled one in particular, not be-
cause OF its startling horrors, but
because Of a peculiar circumstance,
almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience Of orders-the obey
irg, as il were, OF higher COM
mand than that of earth.

carefully selected" said Colonel
Phillips, "the awaited dark night

Pigs Is Plus

Mr.. Hoover cables at length from
Paris ON the pig situation Like dozens
OF other of our War-t o-peace problems. it
IS undoubtedly very perplexing. Mr..
Hoover points out that we have been
exporting something like four times as
much food as under normal conditions.
Europe had to be fed The more dis
tant markets of the Southern Hem-
sphere were difficult to reach We had
to make good. And the only way we
could do it ~as greatly to stimulate our
farm production. We have done it.
AS every one knows, there was an
especial shortage of fats. This short
age had mueh to do with crippling Ger
many and forcing the end of war. If
our allies had not had fats they would
have been ia the same boat Mr.. Hoover
points out tnat we were exporting
about $4,000 tons a month when the food
administration took hold, and have been
at the rate of nearly 100000 tons this
January. If the war were still on. we
would be very proud of this achievement.
Now the pinch is the other way. There is
nomentaTy-it is hardly more than
that-surFlus of fats; that is to say.
pigs; and if the government does not
stand by and support the market it is
likely to break wide open
We don't want a hog panic, or any
other kline. Paying very high prices for
food is not agreeable, but the hog
producers have done their job well, and,
as MIR. Hoover suggests, it is right that
we should see them through to the time
when the worlds markets are again in
state of equilibrium between supply
and demand. Then the governments
responsibility will cease We want to
keep cur ccntracts in the spirit as we'll
as to the Letter.

Attention of the Mayor

We recommend the Moscow plan Of
government ownership of car lines to
the earnest consideration of Mayor Hy-
IAN and his friend Hearst. Lenine and
Irotzky found the Moscow tramcars Civ
ing tar service to the travelling Mus
coylte public at 5 kopeks ride. The
bolsheviks took over the lines, raised
1ares to GO kopeks, reduced the service
to one-third and put numerous commit
tees IN charge. In spite of the high cost
OF getting about, cars became crowded
to suffocation. Bolshevik adherents
complained to their representatives.
What did the committees do? Put on
more cars? Nothing so banal. They
issued an order. Only those were to be
permitted to ride who received passes
from the Bolshcvik government. Only
those could get passes who were Boil
shevlk sympathizers.

GerlMany's Lost Colonies

Is Germany to get back any of her
lost colonies?
Paragraph V of the Fourteen Ar

Impartial adjustment of all colonial
claims, based upon strict observance of
the principle that in determining such
questions of sovereignty the interest of
the population concerned must have
equal weight with the equitable claims
OF the government whose title is to be
determined'
Germany's former colonies differ in
character from most of the colonies un-
der the sovereignty of other powers.
They were acquired in the last few dec
AIDES. Most of them were procured in
pursuance of military policy. Few Ger
mans could ever be induced to settle
IN them as bona fde colonists. The ma
tive populations were treated with rigor
They were not in any sense Gcrmanized.
no effort was made to improve their
condition or to create among them anv
real attachment to the home country.
The Berlin government never recop
nizcd any responsibility for the welfare
OF the people in its oversea possessions.
NO interest Of the native populations
could possibly be served by returnnp
them to German rule. On the contrary.
these populations would rejoice at the
prospect of escaping Gcrmany's brutal
domination. Any change of sovereignty
would better their lot
The German African colonies have
also been bad neighbors. German South
west Africa was thorn in the side of
the South African Union. 1t was the
centre OF propaganda of rebellion
among the Beers. The South African
commonwealth had to conquer German
Southwest Africa as a matter of self
protection. The Cape Town government
cannot now afford to relnquish it to
Germany and see it become again A
trouble maker in that part of the world
Inc same thing is true of the other
German African possessions which bor
der on the African holdings of Great
BRITAIN, France, Portugal and Belgium

Legislators and Women in Industry

The New York State Senate and its
Finance Committee in particular are
making no friends among the organized
women voters of the state by delaying
the confirmation of Governor Smiths
appointment of Frances Perkins to the
Industrial Commission and striking from
the budget Of the Department of Labor
the $4,000 that would have provided for
Bureau Of Women in Industry, with
probably nellie Swartz at its head. The
shade of Elon r. Brown, of unhappy
memory, who SO stoutly fought woman
suffrage and all progressive industrial
legislation relating to women and chill
dren for many years, seems to be hover
ing over the committee and guiding its
councils
Jhat woman could render signal
service ON an industrial commission and
that Miss Perkins is we'll equipped for
the task seem to be proved facts. That
special bureau is needed to collate in
formation and especially represent the
interests and claims of women and chill

these lines. 1t should lead Whatever
we may think concerning special legis-
latlon for women in industry, there can
be no two opinions concerning the fact
that the women voters have a right to
representation in this work and that
the work should be specifically covered.

members make to their women constjt-

tons of this kind are to be consistently

Of the New York Tribune Inc We

aircraft Men Patriotic

The manufacturers oil this country, with
singular devotion to the country, with
great patriotism ard with the greatest
earnestness that have ever seen in any
body of men, had built an organization for
the manufacture of aircraft that certainly
has never been equalled in the world in
the time IN which it has been done
When went to France, in September,
our planes had only just begun to reach
the front lines, but there were a good many
of them there. In the first day Of the fight
at st. Mihiel went from one pursuit
group to another and one observation
group to another and talked with the bows
and asked them how they liked the Ameri-
made planes. And I think these boys
sitting here tonight will tell YOU even
then, after they had had them only COM
paratively short time, there wasn't single
man of them who did not say that he
would not take any other plane of a
similar type into the air if he could get
an Amercan-buit plane.
The greatest effort necessary to build
aircraft in the building of the en-
gines, and is there anybody here tonight
who doubts that the accomplishment of
the American manufacturers of engin $
was one of the greatest accomplishments
in the war, one OF the greatest things done
in the war? When the war ended there
wasn't nation on side of the war
and am sure there wasn't one on the
other-who would not take every engine
we could build for them of the types we
were building; there was not single ma
ton in the war that did not want more of
what we were making than we could bui ID

German navy. He knew that Germany's
future must lie not "on the sea- or
across it, but in middle and eastern Eu-
rope
The Germany he created has been de-
stroyed because William II and his
satellites rejected Bismarcks s counsels.
Germany never needed colonies. She
doesn't need them now. 1t will be no
real injury to her to dispossess her of
those which she acquired and misused.
And humane consideration for native
populations subjected to her rule vetoes
any suggestion that she be allowed to
resume her sinister colonial experiment.

Protection for the Future

Trunk that the great manufacturing
carnations should not be destroyed or al
lowed to fall into disuse. | don't advocate
the building of great numbers of aircraft
for military purposes. don't think it
is necessary. But think that sufficient
encouragement and employment can be
given to the well developed aircraft fac
tories of this country to keep them in the
aircraft business to induce them to make
every discovery, to do everything they can
to promote the science of aviation. The
organization should be kept intact; the
men who are able and who have done this
thing should be kept together as far as
poss'o'e' 1t would be small expense and.
