IS WAR ONLY HALF FINISHED

ID WAX UNLI HALF rINlSnED
1t may be that the fight tc
make the world safe for Democ.
racy is only half finished. One
thing sure. is that the war will
not be over until Bolshevism is
driven completely out Of the
world.
The following editorial, which
appears in the Saturday Evening
Post, Of December 2sth, describes
conditions precisely:
Russia, Germany and Austria
are rid of their old autocrats.
The way has been cleared for
them to choose a Democratic
form of government. Russia has
chosen anarchy. Germany and
Austria have swayed toward the
abyss.
"Autocracy is government by
the worst elements at the top;
Bolshevism is government by the
worst elements at the bottom.
They differ in that autocracy is
organized hell and Bolshevism
hell let loose. Neither can stand
up long before Democracy. When
the ark of God was brought by
the Philistines into the temple of
the false god. Only the stump
of Dagon was left to him..
IF this war has been fought
to the end of delivering Europe
over to the Bolsheviki. it has
been fought in vain. Instead of
freeing the souls of men we shall
have .loosed the beast in them.
The allies have won the first
world war and they will win this
second one. Until they do the
fight to make the world safe for
Democracy is only half finished.
"Our relation to this second
struggle is exactly what our re-
lation to the first was. Though
not primarily involved, we can
not remain an innocent bystand-
er. One hundred million Ameri-
cans were loyal and sound to the
heart all through the great war.
but among them was a small
body of traitors, potential of dev-
iltry out of all proportion to their
number. The same condition
confronts us in this new fight.
The mushy-minded and the good
natured sentimentalists were in
clined to pooh-pooh the idea of
German agents and German
American traitors during the
early days of the war. They are
disposed to be genially tolerant
of the Bolsheviki now. They will
have to wake up again. Autoc-
racy and Bolshevism are both
bitter enemies of Democracy.
One would stand it up before a
firing squad; the other would
bend its neck to the guillotine.
"The foul crew that has been
in control of Russia-One cannot
say of the Russian government,
because there is none--are not
content with anarchy at home;
they would put the torch to the
world. Their agents are every
where among the ignorant, the

use of $500O,000 to acquire the site
and $5,oO0,00 for the building. which
would contain a convention room seat

w. G.. Besler, president Of the Cen

tcmplated only the setting aside Of
the railroads for the service of all the

Plea for American Dead
Again Presented to France
State Department Renews Request Ground That
Removal of Comparatively Few Bodies Would
Not Seriously Affect Transportation and Morale

notwithstanding the apparently deter
mined opposition of the French gov
ernment it was believed that the
American government should do it's ut
most to keep faith with the relatives
of our soldier dead, who have been
led to believe that when the war ended
the bodies of each soldier, if it was de-
sired by their next of kin, would find
their final resting place in their own
tions were suggested as constituting
reasons why such exception might
reasonably be asked:
"(a) The great distance between
France and America and the expense
involved together make it impractic-
able for the large majority of rela-
tives to visit graves, as is easily posi-.
Bile for those who live in the other
Allied countries.
Small Number of Americans
"(b) The comparatively small num-
ber Of American soldiers buried in
France whose removal is desired by
their next Of kin. 1t is stated by the
War Department that of 4,50O,OO0 sol-
der dead only $4,000 are American
and of this number the next of kin do
not desire in excess Of 10000 returned
to America.
"(c) A large proportion Of American
dead are buried on or near battlefelds
and arrangements can probably be
made to avoid transportation over any
avoiding any great interference with
traffic or a depression in morale, which
seems to be the principal reason for
the French governments opposition.
"(d) This government has approached d
the other countries regarding the re-
turn of bodies from those countries, in
number of about 4,600. 1t is pointed
out that such return will necessarily
create toward France an unfavorable
impression because Of the persistent re-
fusal of the French government to al
low similar action. The War Depart
ment, Influenced by the agreement with
the French government referred to
above, sent out inquiries to all next of
kin to ascertain If return was desired
1t would now be embarrassing for the
War Department if it were compelled
to inform relatives that France refused
to permit the return of bodies
such information arousing resentment
against France of relatives of Ameri-
cans who gave their lives in defense
of France.
ain accordance with those considera-
tions the American embassay at Paris
has been instructed to bring the fore
going arguments to the attention OF
the French government and to make
the strongest representations possible
to reach an understanding with the
French government by which the pres
ent ministerial considerations prohib-
iting exhumation and transportation
of military dead may be rescinded or
modified in the case Of American dead
so sas to enable the War Department
to undertake the task as speedily as
possible.

cent fare on the Flatbush Avenue line
Terence V. Farley, attorney for the

Supreme Court for a mandamus to
compel the company to obey the order.

to resume collecting the double fare
we're posted in all the cars last night
They read as follows:

deemed by the company for five cents

H. Hobart Porter. general manager
Of the Brooklyn City Railroad ex-
planned last night the company was
taking this stand in order to oring the
matter into court in the quickest pos
siH'e way. Instead of applying for q
writ of certiorari, which would have
involved lengthy review by the Ap-
pcllate Division of the Supreme Court
Of the decision of the Public Service
Commission. counsel for the company
decided to wait for the summary pro
ceedings brought by the commission
to enforce compliance with its
order. 1t is expected this action will
be started early this week.
