was common aspiration power was
not put behind it, and so it came to
naught.
We have no right to expect the pend
ing covenant to become in any true sense
league of peace unless there is con-
current action, based on mutual trust, to
give it power. The opportunity now
offers to form union among five states,
which, with the help of the states they
would naturally attract, would be able
to maintain the peace they have won
with the sword, but the pending project
is not for such coalition. Instead, we
now behold, first, an energetic attempt
to break down such mutual confidence
as now exists, and, second, refusal to
assemble international power in an easy
and natural way
New-York tribune., 1919-03-15
Discipline in a Theatre

No one will wish to criticise hastily
any soldier who has so enviable record
in the war as Major General Organ.
But the episode of the returned soldiers
wearing Sam Browne belts and unau-
thorized insignia has started reaction
among civilian minds which is unfortu
nate and best clarified by little candid
discussion.
There seems to be no question that the
American soldier, both Guardsman and
drafteey entertains a strong dislike for
and disbelief in the extreme of military.
punctilio and discipline. The service
rendered by West Point is conceded and
praised. Without West Point we could
never have trained our vast army, we
could never have saved the day in
France. But the thought is constantly
expressed that civilian army does not
need such rigorous treatment as regu-
lar army and that the West Point tradi-
tion might we'll be modified. The senti-
ment for universal training is much be-
logged by this criticism. Universal
training under certain type of officer
would be unthinkable to most Americans.
Universal training, broadly conceived
along educational lines and stressing
physical training, is a wholly different
matter.
Discipline is discipline, and there is
every reason for preserving a high
standard Of military regulation among
officers, war or no war. But the sort of
surveillance exercised by Major General
Organ seems strange to the civilian
mind
New-York tribune., 1919-03-15
Victory Over Disease

Much has been heard of the triumphs
of surgery that have resulted from the
war, but according to Professor j. G.
Adami, Of the Canadian expeditionary
force, rather the triumphs of preventa-
tive medicine are even more notable.
In past wars disease has commonly
caused more deaths than have wounds.
In our own Spanish war flies killed more
men than bullets. But for his compari-
sons Professor Adami goes no further
back than the Boer War. The British
forces in South Africa, about equal to
the Canadian expeditionary force in
France, saw $50 out Of every 1000
men contract typhoid fever The deaths
were eighteen in a thousand-about
twice the number killed in battle.
From the entire British force in South
Africa 1854 were admitted to the hos
pltals for disease, while from the Cana
dian force in France in the entire four
years of the fighting only 412 men were
sent to hospitals because of disease. For
every thousand men only one suffered
from typhoid, says Professor Adami
The immunity from typhoid was due to
lnoculatlon. Tetanus from wounds. nrev-
alent in the early days of the war, was
also largely overcome by the use Of
tetanus serum.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-15
Another Dead League

The Tribune recently brought before
It's readers some of the reasons for the
failure of the attempt of 1915 to con-
federate Europe on the declared basis of
Christian precepts and the Golden Rule.
But there are other dead leagues of
peace, notably the league of twelve
nations of ancient Greece organized be-
fore the beginning of written history
by the fabulous Amphictyon of Thessaly,
with Delphi, the Hague of the Hellenic
world, its meeting place. Here was the
oath of the associated states:
1--WE swear never to DESTROY the
Amphictyonic towns, nor ever to divert
elther In peace or war, the springs or
streams necessary to supply their wants.
II any power should attempt it we will
march against that power and DESTROY
its cltlcs Or swear to employ
our feet, our arms, our voices, and all
our powers against them and their ac
complices"
The tribunal met twice a wear and
Judged, besides matters covered by the
original oath, offences against the law
of nations. Questions arising were dis
cussed by twenty-four deputies. two
from each state, and decided by a
majority vote. When any nation was
adJudged guilty fine was imposed on
IL, which IT not paid before an appointed
time was doubled. III the offender con-
tnued refractory the federation was au-
thorized to call for assistance and arm
against it all members of the league.
But Greece, as every schoolboy knows.
though united by common language. a
common religion, and for the most part
by common institutions, was constantly
at war. Sparta, Athens and Beotia.
though members of the league. laughed
at its DEGREES and sought to avoid the
shame, IL Lot the fact, of contumacy
by saying that justice was on their side
For example, when the Lacedmmonians
in times Of profound peace, aggressively
seized the citadel of Thebes and were
fined, they refused to submit to the judg-
mcnt and che Amphictyonic magistrates
lacked power to coerce them.
The idea behind the union was noble
and all accepted it as generality, but
Che Amphictyonic league, though it's
power was more ample than is provided
by the uts-Wilson embodiment Of the
peace idea, lacked the power to compel
obedience. So it became the habit of
the Greeks to call barren promise an
Amphictyonic pledge.
1t was possible for tha dominant
powers of Greece then, as it is possible
for the dominant powers of the world
now, TO come together in firm and last
ing union for peace. But though there
New-York tribune., 1919-03-15

justice and the broader principles Of hu-
manity. Because of this and also because
of its implicit trust in the passion for fair
play and justice of the American people,
the "Yorozu" confidently expects that the
United States will be among the first to
wage war against the discriminatory treat
ment of darker skinned races.
The Toxic "Nichi-Nichi" processes conf.
dence in the sincerity of President Wilson,
but thinks something is decidedly wrong
somewhere in the contradictory realm Of
American politics-judging from the
speeches made in Congress, some of which
seem to demand a special protection for
the white" peoples unrighteous Interests
at the expense of the rest of the world.
The Toxic "Asahi" declares that Japan
would not send her labor emigration into
the countries where they are not welcomed
even if the principle Of perfect equality OF
treatment of all the races were adopted by
all the members of the league of nations.
But it demands that thesJapanese Cor mem
bers of any other dark skinned races. who
go abroad in perfect accord with the pre-
visions Of treaties and engage in legitimate
business in foreign countries shall ENJOY
the same privileges and treatment as are
given to white immigrants.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-15
Mvopia in the House

With respect to Mr.. Mann many Re-
publicans in the House of Representa-
tives seem afflicted with myopia. They
see Mr.. Mann at too close range. They
like him personally They know that
he is exceptionally familiar with the
business of the House. For several ses-
sions he has made up the minority COM
mittee lists, and members believe IN his
fairness. Moreover, the House is one
of the most conservative bodies in the
world in so far as questions affecting
it's own government are concerned. On
each side there is lusty and we'll organ
lied hierarchy which new members
defer to.
That many Republican members should
find it convenient to join the hierarchy
or to try to get along with it is under
standable. But in doing so they too
often lose sight of the outside opinion.
The Republican voters, who are anxious
to see the party put its best foot for
ward, care little about Mr.. Mann's
familiarity with the rules and with
House business, and even less about his
personal good qualities. They regard
him as weak in constructive leadership
and as wrong about the war. Conse-
quenty, they condemn anything which
has the appearance of granting him
new lease Of control through the appoint
ment of committee chairmen OR men,
bers of sthe steering committee whom
he dominates.
The committee on committees is under
suspicion because the power of the states
which elected Mr.. Gillett Speaker has
been misused. And though it is hard
for a conference to undo the work Of
a committee on committees, the con-
ference, in which members who voted
for Mr.. Gillett are in majority, has the
final say. 1t ought to make any changes
in committee assignments which seem
desirable. And it would be a simple
matter for it to add to the steering
committee additional representatives Of
the more progressive Republican Gle
ments in the House.
The course of the committee on COM
mittees is breeding insurgency" The
spirit will grow unless House members
generally broaden their vision and see
the situation as outsiders see it.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-15

Not much Importance is to be ascribed
to the unfortunate clash between Ameri-
can and Japanese soldiers at Tien-tsn
Barraclx room conflicts sometimes break
out between units of common army.
Both governments are likely to express
regret and close the incident. Yet there
is warning that it is not easy
to feed Americans on a steady diet of
suspicion against Japanese and the
Japanese with a steady diet of suspicion
against Americans and escape natural
consequences. Peace is not fostered by
those who excite distrust
New-York tribune., 1919-03-15
Court-Martial Abuses

When Secretary of War Baker stated
he did not recall that prior to the war
"our system of military law ever became
the subject of public attack on the
ground of it's structural defects" he
placed himself on record as probably the
only official Of the War Department SINH
larly ignorant. In 1914 elaborate ar
ticles by Charles j. Post, setting forth
case after case Of cruelty, injustice and
abuse, we're published in Harpcr's
Weekly.
Conspicuous was this exposure of
abuses, and it is amazing Secretary
Baker should not have knowledge of it.
Case after case was cited showing that
enlisted men were punished by long sem
tences at hard labor in prison for slight
infractions of discipline, while officers
who committed crimes of embezzlement
and fraud against the soldiers under
them were lightly punished by simple
dismissal from the army.
One case related to a violation of reg
ulations which resulted in manslaughter
but not word of this was whispered
into the trial, on trivial charge, of the
officer responsible; nor was the officer
even dismissed. Every general conclu-
sion drawn seems justified by the recent
investigation by committee of Con-
gress and by the report of the special
committee of the American Bar Associa-
tion.
General Crowder, in his legal argu-
fnent, in substance says he is powerless
10 revise court martial cases because
congress has not passed adequate legis-
iation. fhis is scarcely ingenious. Con-
gress passes the organic law, the Articles
OF War; but Congress also empowers the
War Department to establish its own
rules and regulations. These rules and
the organic law are interpreted in a
series Of volumes known as the opinions
OF the judge advocate general, but, oripi-
mating in the department, these inter
pretationg may be changed by the de-
partmcnt itself.
The general holds he has no power Of
review. But he might have held he has
power Of review and there would be no
one to gainsay him. Moreover, he has
power TO reverse the opinions Of prede-
eessor. II he had 80 elected he need not
have held that his power extends only TO
examining the clerical and routine cor
reetness Of the coX8t-n,artia1 procedure.
