The Confidential Adviser

Harold Williams, correspondent OF 1He
London Chronicle at Petrograd until Bol-
shevik kultur drove him out, comments
as follows on the Stefens- Bullitt mis-
sion to Russia
"'A great wind is blowing,' President
Wilson has said, and now it appears he
has sent secret mission to Moscow to in
vestgate the cave in which it was born.
Messrs. Bullitt and Steffens, members Of
this mission, have, we are told, just re
turned to Paris with the recommends
ton to open up peace negotiations with
Lenine, and their proposal is being seri-
ously considered at the peace conference.
This is the new secret diplomacy"
Mr. Steffens was committed to doc
trines Of Bolshevism long before the
word was known. If he has not misrep-
resented himself, he urged on Carranza
to submit to no popular election, but to
decree himself President and to decree
new constitution. He wrote an hysteri-
cally eulogistic introduction to the book
Trotzky published in this country. He
was a fellow passenger with Trotzky on
the vessel which carried the company
which carried to Russia so much woe.
Concerning Mr.. Steffens, Frank Bohn
bears the following testimony in yester-
day mornings Times:
"Lincon Steffens is an ardent and tire
less advocate of the Bolshevist cause. A
year ago he contided to me his matured
opinion concerning this whole matter.
The trouble with democratic countries
like America, Great Britain and France.
he said, was their worthless popular
education. Much formal learning makes
the people foolish. AN illiterate Russia ,
he continued, had a Successful revolu-
ton. Likewise Mexico Only educated
people are prevented from making .rue
social progress.' In Paris, two weeks
before he was appointed to 20 to Russia,
he decried the Wilsonian league of ma
tlons in conversation with mo and ar
eucd that only the Bolshcvki could ere
ate successful confederation of the
peoples"
Now information from Mr.. Stcfrcns
concerning Russia and the advice he
gives receive serious consideration. No
comment secms ncccssary-no further
explanation is needed rs to what is one
trouble at Paris.

Perhaps. as Senator Thompson says,
the Senate without stimulus would have

Let In the Daylight

If the questions raised in Lieutenant
Colonel Ansell's letter to Secretary
Baker, written on March II and just re-
leased, involved merely a personal dis
pute inside the War Department they
would have only an incidental interest to
the public. In this dispute Mr.. Baker
has given his support to Lieutenant
Colonel Ansells opponents, who differ
absolutely from him in their theory Of d
proper scheme of military justice.
What concerns the public most is the
actual working of the system now in
force. Is it humane, modern and eff
cient? Does it reduce abuses of arbi-
trary authority to minimum? Leuten-
ant Colonel Ansell holds that it does not.
He gees further and says that, even un-
der the most favorable conditions, it can
not. Here is an issue Of fact which can
be determined by q study of the record,
regardless of purely personal controver-
sizes
Enough evidence has been brought out
already to Justify an investigation by
Congress of the whole problem of mill
tary justice. Lieutenant Colonel Ansell
says that our system is more antiquated
and oppressive than that of any army
with which ours has collaborated in Eu-
rope. That would not be strange, because
our army, up to 1917, was one of the old
fashioned professional type, functioning
quite aoof from the ordinary life of the
nation. A discipline suited for it would
not be suited to a conscripted army; and
since 1917 there has hardly been time to
readjust the system of military justice
to new conditions.
We have time now to repair this omis-
slon Congress will undoubtedly modern
ize the code, regardless Of the views of the
old school within the War Department.
And no one will have contributed more
to that reform than Lieutenant Colonel
Ansell, who, under trying circumstances,
has made a brave and an intelligent fight
for the vindication Of the rights of the
common soldier.

Mazatlan, and the Mexicans suddenly be-
came japanese. The record is too long
to permit the theory Of innocent mis-
statement.
In northern Mexico is a great ranch
of more than 100000 acres, the prop
erty of an American publisher Two
hundred and fifty miles Of wire inclose
the estate, and if The Mexican Herald
has told the truth 10000 Herefords, 1885,
900 sheep and many thousands of horses
and hogs bring forth their increase
Something approximating to a private
army is maintained, and if the United
States could be induced to annex the area
the great property would doubtless have
increased value. And the likelihood of
annexation is increased whenever any
American is induced to believe that
Japan has designs on Mexico.

From Boche to Bolshevik

Six months ago this country cried out
against peace that would surrender the
world to the Boche; now it raises its
voice against peace that will surrender
it to the Bolshevik.
Between Boche and Bolshevik there is
little TO choose. In many respects they
are the same. Both represent autocracy;
both militarism; both aggressive imperi-
alism; both suppress free speech and
free press; both hold to a materialistic
view of life which is destructive Of the
bases of morality; both are captained by
men whose pledges are worthless; both
hold that an end may be attained by any
have class rule.
The Boche expresses scientific bar
barism; the Boshevik a primitive bar
barism. But the spirit of Attila and
Genseric is in both.
Wilhelm and Lenine-their founda-
tions are the same Every idea Of Lenine
bears the stamp of made-in-Germany. 1t
was coming-together Of the congenial
when Bolshevik allied himself with
Boche by the treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
The union did not express the Slav; but
: power in Russia is not with the Slav, it
is with the Teutonized Russian, for
centuries the oppressor of the Slav. One
German czarship was destroyed and i'm
mediately another set up.
In the crisis three years ago America
found herself leaderless. In the seats of
the mighty sat no one with the insight
Of understanding. Finally the hard
headed American decided for himself
that his self-respect, his safety and his
duty demanded action. He forced it, and
plunged in then and there with a sum Of
individual energy that astonished the
world. The people saw there was a mess
and cleaned it up. There was nothing
else to do.
Since, once more because of lack of
leadership, another mess has accumu-
lated. The men and women of America
must consider again what must be done.
1t is time to decide and to speak. The
public is as little intmidated by Moscow
and Hungarian bugaboos as it was by
Berlin strafing. This war was not won to
have its results thrown away. The Yam
kee is out for peace, a peace of justice as
far as he can get it-but peace
The world has been bewildered by
words. But the fog of them is lifting
And on the horizon can be seen the flags
Of new Triple Alliance--the color has
changed. but the ideas behind the flags
are what they were before. Peace, tenn
porary or permanent, under these condi-
tions! Who is insane enough to i'm
agine it?

Il Use for German Ships

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the Walter Reed Hospital, Wash
ington, there are now approximately 500
of "our boys" who fought in France.
Of the number 44O have one leg and 22o
one arm, the missing members having been
contributed to the sacred cause Of freedom.
In all probability, not one OF those boys
can ever engage in his pre-war occupa-
ton by reason of his disablement, and until
Germany and what Austria shall, di-
rectly or indirectly, pay an indemnity to
every one of our boys who lost an arm or
leg or received injuries ncapacitating them
wives of soldiers who died in service, at
least $4,000, peace should not be made.
1t has been reported that it has been
strongly recommended to the peace confer
ence to sink the surrendered German war
ships and submarines Original cost more
than s2O0,oOo,000), and we have been
urged by government boards to save all our
waste or not wanted material for junk.
Would it not be entirely practical that
all the war trophies possible to obtain
should be collected and shipped to the
United States, then to be sold, by auction
or otherwise, and the proceeds be divided

A Bear~lAeaded Bull

The governments left hand knowcth
not what its right hand docth Secretary
Rcdflcld had the idea that what was
holding business back was hesitation
over prices. Buyers were waiting for
prices to come back to their peace level.
If they could be brought back to their
peace level right away, so ran the opin
ion of Secretary Redficld, business would
resume right away.
He suggested his idea to the steel
business. The steel business was un-
enthusiastic. But Secretary Redfeld
intimated that the reason the railroad
administration, representing the GUS
toners that consume normally 20 per
cent of the country's steel, was holding
up purchases was that it was waiting
Tor prices to come down. The steel COM
panies then indicated certain fears of
the antitrust laws. Secretary Redfield
treasured them. SO they entered an
agreement and prices were cut 10 to ID
per cent, making, of course. mucn
greater cut than that in the steel COM
panies' margin of profit.
And, 10! Director General Hines re-
fuses to accept such prices. He thinks
them too high. He is reputed in Wash
ington dispatches to have "cited the DOS
slble hazards of the Sherman antitrust
law at some length" Such an objection
Whatever its legal aspects, involves a
practical absurdity. The Sherman law
objects to RESTRAINT of trade" These
prices were cut under governmental
pressure to stimulate trade There was
nothing secret about them. They were
not fixed primarily in the interests of
the steel trade, but primarily in the in
terests of the country's business as a
whole, even at the expense Of the steel
trade. SO we proceed with reconstruct
ton by government 1t is humorous
though serious.

Another Anti-Japanese Fable

Mexican and japanese officials unite in
declaring that the report Of the sale Of a
large tract Of land in Lower California
was untrue. Most men have five senses,
but some appear to have sixth-a fac
ulty that expresses itself in trouble
making propaganda.
The persons engaged in the anti-Jap-
anese campaign here, Of course, know a
similar anti-American campaign is in
progress across the Pacific, and that
from the two, if kept up long enough,
grave consequences may result "Paci-
fists" opposed to war when war is Just
and necessary are at other times strange
ly inactive.
Within recent memory reports have been
published that in Mexico are 200. 900
trained Japanese soldiers, whereas the
total japanese population in the land Of
the Montezumas does not exceed 1000
300 women and children, 800 miners. 400
farm laborers, 200 household workers.
and the remaining 300 storekeepers, arti-
sans, fishermen, etc. At last accounts
the only japanese residents Of practi-
cally rainless Lower California are a
small colony of about fifty engaged in
rice-raising.
Other fables have been put into circula-
ton. They have told of japanese naval
base, guarded by formidable fleet, at
Tiburon Island, while Admiral Winslow,
after investigation, reported there was
nowhere in Mexican waters a shadow of
Japanese warship. When the unfortu-
nate Asama went ashore on reef and
tried to rcfoat herself it was said jap
anese dreadnought had been purposely
bcached. A feet Of japanese merchant

David Hochstein

AS George Gordon Battle, of Draft
Board No. 149, tells the moving story,
in August, 1917, David Hochstein ap
peared in response to call. He was
eager to serve his country, but investiga-
ton having revealed that his mother.
Mrs. Helene Hochstein, was dependent on
him, he was told it was his duty to sac
rifce his personal preferences. Later he
returned, and on submitting evidence that
he had arranged to meet his private re-
sponslbility he was accepted and sent to
Camp Upton, where his manly bearing.
his fine spirit and his great gifts won
him high regard.
Having been promoted on merit to the
rank Of first lieutenant, David Hoch-
stein, on duty in the Argonnc, wrote
on September 20 last to his mother:
Il have made my commission and am,
of course, happy over it. But that is
not much compared to those things that

Two weeks later the summons came.
and all that is known of how is told in
letter by Major Godfrey p. Baldwin,
of the 6oth Infantry. Going with his
men cover the top" David Hochstein
never came back His body is among
those not found.
How the great artist was lost in the
greater man is Indicated by the state
ment Of Major Baldwin that although
he knew David Hochstein was a mu-
sician and commanded several languapes.
he was not aware how splendid were
his attainments--that he was rated bv
many critics as the most gifted violinist
of America, worthy to rank with the
worlds masters. He was satisfied to be
and TO be Judged as soldier. Nor was
his superior officer seemingly aware that
this nobly patriotic young man was the
nephew Of Emma Goldman. In the
tangled thing called life, if one member
Of the family found herself out of har-
mony with America another's heart
beat responsiveIy. If the excess merits
Of saints can be imputed to the benefit
Of others, it would seem that what David
Hochsten did might be deemed in some
