Rescued

The rescue of Hawker and Grieve
splendidly daring adventure. 1t softens
tragedy into romance. The safe ending
of a perilous and supremely courageous
experiment is happy ending. Fate has
dramatically spared the lives of two
valiant pioneers in the conquest of the
air who thought nothing Of giving their
lives in a quest which appealed to their
instincts and imaginations.
They would not have died in vain if
their aircraft had fallen disabled in
some lonely spot far out of the ordinary
paths of ocean shipping. They would
have Joined the great company of vent
uresome spirits who have sacrificed
themselves for an idea and who have
thereby helped to narrow the limits of
the unknown. Their example would have
fired others instead Of deterring them.
1t brings a thrill of joyous relief to
know that though they failed they
did not have to pay the extreme penalty
of failure. They bring back with them
the experience they have gained and can
now put it at the service of the world
What they tried to do was apparently
extravagant and reckless. What they
actually did may be Of enormous prac-
tical value.
Their rescue proves again that the
North Atlantic has ceased to be waste
Of waters. 1t is patrolled and peopled.
With proper facilities aircraft compelled
to descend to the surface have a fair
chance to keep ahoat until help reaches
them. Hawker and Grieve reduced their
chances of rescue to a minimum. The
fact that they were saved, nevertheless,
will encourage others, more cautious and
better prepared, to achieve that direct
ocean flight which is to be the next great
step in aeronautical progress

What Do We Stand For in Russia {?

What is the real policy of the United
States toward Russia? Or is there any
policy? The public has been wrestling
with the puzzle for more than year.
The long continued refusal to send a
military expedition to Siberia, the re-
versal of that refusal, the appeal to
neutrals to boycott the Lenine regime
as one beyond the pale of civilization,
the invitation to Lenine not many
months later to come to Prinkipo, fol-
lowed by the Steffens- Bullitt mission to
Moscow and the Nansen food relief
fiasco-these are phases Of a mystery
which remains impenetrabe
Our attitude apparently is as much
an enigma in Russia as it is here. Lenine
did not avail himself Of the opportunity
to appear at Prinkipo or of the food re-
lief offer Nobody is greatly concerned
about the construction he puts on Ameri-
can policy. 1t is another matter when
the Omsk government, the most stable
and powerful of the organizations en-
gagged in redeeming Russia from an
archy, confesses mystication and en-
barrassment and asks that the Ameri-
can contingent in Siberia be forbidden
to advance
In some way the impression has
been spread abroad in Russia that the
American attitude has been unduly
tolerant Of Bolshevism. This feeling
whether fully justified or not-has been
played on by local elements hostile to
the Omsk regime. The Acting Foreign
Minister of the Kolchak administration
says bluntly: "The attitude of the Wash
lngton government is being used by GER
tain political groups to create disorder
among the Russian people, and thus
weaken the government" Another sig
nlficant and disconcerting passage in
the minister's letter is this: "It ought
to be said once more that every Russian
IS concerning himself with the question
of the attitude of Americans toward
Bolshevism, and it is the most demo-
cratic element Of the people here who
are opposed to the troops advancing
further"
And not only Admiral Kochak, but
our General Graves who seems to be
capable officer, is baffled. His instruc-
tions to his soldiers are prophetic. He
tells them not to take sidcs--to avoid
expressing any opinion, even privately,
to Russians. They are not to say we
believe in democracy and its institutions.
And yet 1T Is said that our intervention
Is to help and instruct.
II would be a calamity II our power
1ul influence should be employed to re-

AS we look to our self-interest and
have national faith that magnanimity
pays, so we are sufficiently educated in
matters international to realize that the
world will not be permanently safe until
the good German gems is in spiritual
sympathy with mankind. A raging wild
beast must be restrained, but who are SO
blind as not to see that it would be bet
ter not to be compelled to restrain? We
seek the earliest possible material recov-
cry of Germany, for there is no good
prospect of reformation when savagery
is energized by hunger. The American
influence at Paris was happily thrown
on the side of fastening the fewest pos
sble economic bonds on Germany.
In our Civil War it was slavery, not
the Southern people, that was the enemy.
So in Germany the real enemy has not
been the German people, but noxious
system which had grown up there. And
as we had faith, if slavery went, that its
spawn would die, so we have faith, if
Prussian militarism has been laid low in
Germany, that its derivatives will dis
appear, even though now there is small
evidence thereof America favors fair
peace, even magnanimous peace; is
more regardful Of the claims of mercy
than Of the demands of justice, and sup
ports this peace in the belief that it is
fair, magnanimous and merciful. 1t is

In Pure Japan
CFron, The Jonon BulIrftul

(Frons The Japan Bulletin
The police of Japan do not like to see
kissing in public, and therefore film stars
are not permitted to osculate on the
screen. In SIX months up to March the
police censors removed 1850 kisses from
films. Only one kiss was allowed to re-
main. 1t was kiss granted to Columbus
by Queen Isabella, and was shown IN
Toxic only, as the censors deleted it be-
fore permitting the photopay Columbus
to discover the provinces.
Three hundred and fifty-thrce embraces
were omitted from films, states "The Far
East" The titles of 2,144 photoplays were
altered by the censors, and 1877 murder
scenes were killed. Reels entirely pro-
hibited numbered 81. Most films shown
in Japan, are from America. and large
proportion of them originally contain
little kiss or so, showing the difference III
standards between East and West.

tard the overthrow Of Lenine's barbarous
system. Admiral Kolchak may have
some reactionary tendencies. But he is
pledged to the election Of Constituent
Assembly which will reorganize Russia.
Lenine suppressed the Assembly elected
to do that work.
Our Russian policy has been incom-
prehensible. 1t has twisted and bur-
rowed. How could other nations under
stand it, since we don't understand it
ourselves? The logical outcome Of our
lack Of decision and candor is the re-
markable intimation from Omsk that
the company Of our troops in Siberia
is less desired than their room.

Bolshevism on the Telephone

From The Manchester Guardian)
Revolution is a social disease which has
its regular stages, like the so-called in
huenza. but both in Russia and Hungary
keen observers of the period of incubation
have noticed a curious preliminary symp-
tom. smpudence over the telephone was
the first sign of the coming rebellion
against authority. Workmen were often
sivcly rude to their employers in tee-
phonic conversations, though when talking
face to face the forms Of Difference were
still maintained - and sometimes 1t hap-
pened that members Of the bourgeoisie
were rung up by anonymous persons who
called them ugly names and then rang off.

Phi Gamma Delta

On Saturday night Secretary Baker
sat down at table with members of his
college fraternity, and the occasion d.
rects attention to what the members
of this one organization of college men
did during the war
This fraternity, Phi Gamma Delta,
has living membership of 1900,
many of them in excess of the military
age, and out of this number 5000 en-
tered the service, practically all volun-
teers. Truly a remarkable response, and,
as the organization makes no claim to
popularity or even to superiority of
patriotism, an index of the spirit of
the colleges. The parlor Boshevists,
with their capacity for advertising their
shallow radicalism, often give the i'm
preston that our colleges distil in some
respects poisonous influence, but in
fact the great body of young American
collegians are untouched.
The colleges of America are unioue
IN their democracy. They are recruit
ed from families comparatively poor
rather than from the rich. Manv sus-
tain themselves while at their studies
according to the good old American
practice. These young men are the salt
Of their time, and it is surely of good
omen that it is not necessary to prove
to them that American institutions are
worth saving.

huge desert, which does not offer enough

for our colonies forget that not only are
colonies the foundation of all European
power, but that colonies without an OPEN

Of the good or i'll will of England. We
need liberty of the seas, which was the
real cause Of war between England and
Germany. To obtain it we must have
Egypt, the connecting link between British
Africa and British Asia, Indian Ocean and

colonies with the mother country, which,

0-Wnr Inden1nifies
With regard to war indemnities we shall
demand an indemnity which as much as
possible shall cover war expenditures the
repair of damage, and pensions for dis
abled men, widows and orphans We know
that the question has been examined by
the government according to the financial
capacities Of our enemies. From England,
which has been SO niggardly in men, we
can never demand enough money, because
England raised the world against US with
gold. 1t Is our duty to crush the Unsuitable
cupidty of this nation. However, we shall
probably have to apply for war indemnity
to France in the first place, if not exclu-
s'vely. We ought not to hesitate to impose
upon France as much as possible out OF
false sentimentalism. AS mitigation she
might be offered one of the sides of the
Suez Canal, while we occupy the other.
Should France refuse that, as we'll as the
financial obligation that we should ask
her, we should have to impose on her q
policy which would satisfy US We do not
want policy of culture without a policy
os action. Germany must insure her polit
'cal and commercial life before trying to
propagate her spirit. Let us at first give
healthy body to our German soul.

German Terms

Suppose American troops had arrived
on the battlefront few weeks later than
they did. Suppose any other mischance
that might have given Germany the vic
tory What peace terms would there
optimists. Let us dismiss the imerial-
istic extremists. Let us assume that
moderation controlled the German con-
querors.
/. To begin with, Germany wouldsun-
doubtedly retain control Of Belgium. The
out-and-out annexationists would prob
ably be disappointed. The proposition
would mean the end of Belgian indepen-
dence, commercially and industrially, and
the nominal preservation of Belgium as
a separate state subject to German SOW
ereignty.
2. The Channel ports, or some of
them, would go to Germany-let US say,
as far as the Somme, moderation again
prevailing. And a new boundary would
be fixed, placing the coal of Northern
France in Germany, skirting Rheims,
including Verdun, and striking across to
Belford.
3. In the East modesty again would
control. Only the Baltic provinces and
the wheat lands to the south would be
annexed.
a. To the southeast Berlin to-Bagdad
would, of course, be made reality. The
Persian Gulf would become German
water.
5. Egypt and the control of Suez
would be taken as a matter of course.
6. All the colonies of France would
be annexed, placing the German flag in
St. Pierre and Miquelon and Martinique
and Guadeloupe and French Guiana Ito
mention the points of most interest to
Americans frst); in Algeria, Tunis,
Morocco and all the other French colo
nies of Africa; in Madagascar, in the
French 1ndo-China.
7. Now as for indemnities. Not only
the cost of the war, but the repair of
damage, and the cost Of pensions would
be shifted as far as possible to the Allies.
These sums would be collected ruthlessly,
mercilessly.
8. Of course, Germany's allies, Aus
tria, Bulgaria and Turkey would get
their winnings as well.
There would be no restoration of
Alsace-Lorraine, or of Poland, needless
to say, no freeing of Czechs or Jugo-Slavs
or of any one else. Territory would be
shifted not to right old wrongs, but to
make Germany the master Of Europe.
EXtravagant and monstrous, you say?
The wild dream of German junker in
his cups? Not at all. What we have
outlined is the calm, considered, very
modest manifesto of 352 German pro-
fessors, clergymen and other intellect
uals. 1t was made, too, in June, 1915,
when German demands were still very
mild. The text of this manifesto and a
map based on it will be found to the
right on this page.
The terms set forth are by no means
the extreme claims of German imperial
lists. They are very fair guess of
what a moderate policy of German
victors would have amounted to. To
"ruthlessly" weaken France, for in
stance, to impose a "mercilessly" high
indemnity, are the professors words,
not ours.
