Maryland S Land Policy
For Returning Soldiers

After a thorough consideration of
the several plans suggested in con-
nection with agricultural land for
returning soldiers, the following rec
concentrations have been submitted
by the committee in charge and ap-
proved by DR.. A. F. Woods. Execu-
tive Officer of the Maryland State
Board of Agriculture:
1. Soldiers desiring to farm
should be assisted at once in secur-
ing productive farms of their own
choice on which they may reasonab-
ly expect to make comfortable liv-
ing and profit.
2. That farms may be made i'm
mediately available. Congress
should amend at once the Federal
Farm Loan Act so as to allow soldi-
ers to secure loans up to farm val
ues as determined by their >apprais-
ers.
3. The reclamation project would
be too slow TO be of immediate value
to soldiers who have already been
discharged or will be discharged in
the near future. as it will require
several years to prepare the farms
from the arid plains, the swamp or

Italy's Strange Exclusion

In his speech to the Italian parliament
Premier Nitti counselled moderation and
urged, in spite of reasons for irritation,
the maintenance Of good relations with
the Allies, especially with France. Ital-
ians Of quick tempers, Influenced by
long series of events, have threatened to
escape from isolation by making a sepa-
rate peace with Austria and by aligning
themselves with Germany But, happily,
this plan meets opposition.
AS one recalls the cheers, starting in
Paris and echoing around the world,
which arose when Italy, in critical days,
abandoned her alliance with Berlin and
Vienna and relieved the French divisions
which Joffre found useful at the Marne,
it is not easy to understand the policy Of
the other Allies, particularly of France.
1t is apparently forgotten that Italy
the United States and kept enemy divi-
sions busy which might have won the
war for Germany and Austria. The
enormous sacrifices Of Italy have seem
ingly passed out of mind At Paris she
has been aspersed, her motives ques-
toned and the interests of those but re-
Gently ravaging her territories espoused.
Finally, she was not asked to join in the
guarantee treaty which enlarges and
perpetuates the Entente and dedicates it
to peace.
Why the movement practically to ex-
clude Italy from confidence? There may
be adequate reasons, but a statement of
it has not appeared. Common sense, as
well as recognition of loyal services to
common cause, demands that Italy be
accorded her due place in the company
Of the Allies.

Telling Mexico PLAINLY

That the Administration seriously con-
siders intervention in Mexico is doubtful.
But that it meditates threatening inter-
cause of the demands on it, shows signs
of exhaustion. The State Department
recently has been less complaisant to
evasions, and unless the President dis
avows the acts of his subordinates
change of policy may soon be manifest.
For six years the President has given
evidence of his sincere desire to leave
Mexico alone. This country has sought
nothing, asked nothing, more than the
establishment Of an orderly, civilized and
entirely independent neighbor. Insults
have been quietly endured and outragcs
on law-abiding American citizens con-
doncd. The Mexican government, with
black ingratitude, has schemed with Ger
many but has not been called to ac-
count. The Administration course has
not been so much weak although super
fcially seeming so, as tolerantly gener-
Gus in the presence Of the face-makhg
Of a child
But back Of this indulgent policy has
been an "if" 1t has been implied, if
Mexico persisted and sank into hopeless
condition Of anarchy, that it might be
necessary to restore order in Mexico as
it was restored in Cuba. An indefinite
prolongation Of condition destructive
Of American rights and in contempt of
the painest mandates Of civilization is
manifestly impossible, and the time has
apparently arrived to mention little
more prominently than heretofore the
possibility of intervention. Coddling
having failed, it is natural to turn to
something else.
How much Of the new trouble is due to
the personal deficiencies of the vain Car

RooseUelfs s Birthplace
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: l was very much surprised to see
that your editorial of July describing the
dedication Of Mount Roosevelt made no
mention whatever of the work Of the Wom-
'an's Roosevelt Memorial Association in
purchasing and restoring Theodore Roose-
velt's birthplace in New York City. Surely
no memorial to Roosevelt could be, to use
the language of the editorial, "more bound
by memories to the heart of great life"
The association plans TO make Of the
birthplace and the adjoining property a
living memorial, a place set apart, per-
vaded by the ideas that characterized
Colonel Roosevelt and by the influences
that developed him, as a gathering place
for the men and women and for the boys
and girls he loved, where his voice may be
clearly and strongly heard.
In no sense can the restoration of Theo-
dore Roosevelt's birthplace be classified as
an "artifcial" memorial. for no memorial
could be more ultimately revelatory Of
the man commemorated," and it seems to
me most fitting that this memorial should
be cited along with other worthy memori-
ais such Mount Roosevelt. Roosevelt

Double Fares or Single

In his letter to Corporation Counsel
Burr, after expressing his personal be-
lief that the Public Service Commission
has no right to authorize a charge for
transfers, Mayor Hylan practically di-
rects that opposition to the commissions
orders be carried to the highest court.
If this is not camoufage, if it marks
a serious purpose, it probably means, in
view Of the opportunity litigation offers
for delay, that the traction system of
the New York Railways Company will
be broken up, and this, in turn, means
that many surface car users must either
walk or pay 10 or Is cent fares. Will
such condition be as satisfactory to
them as one under which most fares would
be single and none aggregate more than
seven cents? The Mayor does not touch
on this phase of the problem. 1t would
be interesting to know whether his solici-
tude to protect the public leads him to
prefer double fares to single fares with
a charge for transfer.
On the subways, a collection which is
less than cost plus the contractual OBJ
legations relating to the rental of prop
erty owned by the companies is heaping
up cumulative charge which taxpayers
must some day meet-which is as much
added to the city's debt as if money were
borrowed and poured into the treasures
of the companies. This, for the pres
ent, is not visible to the ordinary eye
But double fares will be visible, and it
will doubtless quickly appear what is
thought of the Mayors policy. He has
assumed a grave responsibility, and the
consequences he can hardly hope to es-
cape. If double fares come there will
be no doubt where the blame lodges.

Why We Went to War

Students of history will be startled to
read in President Wilson's speech to the
Senate yesterday this curious account
of the conditions under which the United
States entered the war:
"The United States entered the war
upon different footing from every other
nation except our associates on this side
the sea. We entered it not because
material interests were directly threat
ened or because any special treaty obli-
cations to which we were parties had
been violated but only because saw
the supremacy and even the validity Of
right everywhere put in jeopardy and
free government likely to be everywhere
imperilled by the intolerabe aggression Of
q power which respected neither right
nor obligation and whose very system Of
government fouted the rights of the citi-
zen as against the autocratic authority
Of his governors"
Congress declared war on Germany by
passing the following resolution, which
was approved by the President on April
6, 1917:
"Whereas, The imperial German gov
ernment has committed repeated acts Of
war against the government and the peo-
pie of the United States Of America,
therefore be it
"Resolved by the Senate and House Of
Representatives of the United States Of
America in Congress assembled, That the
state of war between the United States
and the imperial German government
which has been thrust upon the United
States is hereby formally declared; and
that the President be, and he is hereby,
authorized and directed to employ the en-
tire naval and military forces of the
United States and the resources of the
government to carry on war against the
imperial German government, and to
bring the conflict to a successful termi-
nation all Of the resources of the country
are hereby pledged by the Congress of
the United States"
War was declared on no theory that
"the supremacy and even the validity of
right everywhere" was being put in
jeopardy and "free government every
where was likely to be imperilled." It
was declared because, by reason Of Ger
man aggressions against our shipping
and our citizens, condition Of war al
ready existed.
The declaration states explicitly why
we went to war. The President approved
it. Has he already forgotten it?

The Russian Wreck

One of the most interesting bits of
news from Russia is that the factories
in the industrial region recently recov-
cred from the Bolshevists are rapidly
making arrangements to resume opera
tion.
The work1nen in some instances barri-
caded and defended the works and kept
them intact. Many employees are scat
tered, having gone to their home villages
in search of food, and the remainder are
weak and emaciated, but bitter expert
ence has taught them what happens
when plants are seized by ncompetents.
1t was found that the major concern of
workers is not in who owns a factory,
but in whether its wheels revolve. No
nutriment was derivable from the Boil
shevist proclamation decreeing communal
ownership and confscating old titles.
AS a political experiment Bolshevism
has been a ghastly failure. 1t quickly
sank into tyranny eQualling that Of
Ivan the Terrible. But even worse has
been the economic failure. In many
areas the resident population was willing
enough to yield to its new masters, but
the new system would not work Only
incomplete information has come. of the
wreck Of Russia; when there is full
revelation the story will be one of great
horror. With a highly educated and
self-disciplined population cooperative
production may some day succeed, but it's
path is one of desolation in a backward
country like Russia

rama and how much to the revolu-
tionary weaknesses of the Mexican peo-
pie and their unjustifed prejudice
against the United States is not known
and probably never will be. The two
things doubtless react on and stimulate
each other. But the experiment of
breaking off note-writing to tell Car
rama and Mexico what may not be done
seems worth making. This resource is
the only one that gives much promise of
preventing an intervention which neither
this country nor Mexico wants

Wasting Sunlight

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Scarcely had we finished our re-
past in that sumptuous mansion with
Horace Greeley's impressive picture look
ing down on US from under the folds Of the
identical Stars and Stripes that f1oated
from the tall staff of the Tribune Building
during Civil War days when we spun over
the top of the great and wonderfully i'm
pressive 'Kensico Dam.
The dazzling sight of the fairy-like
aeration fountains, the sparkling waters of
lovely kensco Lake, however, were as
nothing compared with the sight in store
for U.s.
Oftentimes had we noticed the curious
glass disks set in the stone wall on either
side of the narrow driveway over the great
dam. At last we knew their purpose. Be-
hind each was a powerful electric bulb.
and thus the entire roadway at once
artistcally and effectively illuminated.
But why have these brilliant lights shine
so brightly in the middle of warm july
afternoon?
Is not the SEQ per capita that an official
told me every New Yorker will have to
pay for his share of the Catskill water
supply quite enough of a burden as it is :?
Must taxpayers also have to pay for cleo
trio lights to illuminate their Kensico Dam
while old Sol is at the zenith of his arbi
ton?
But fools can ask questions, you know
that perpex even sages. PERPLEXED.

The U-Boat Criminals at the Bar

Among all the Germans marked out for
individual punishment none will more
richly deserve their fate than the COM
manders and officers of the submarines.
The British Admiralty, it is stated, has
list of no less than seventy-one of
these, and there are others down in the
black books of the other Allied govern
ments. The purpose to try them for
crimes of which only pirates, and not
always they, have hitherto been guilty
is not likely to be foregone. For the
seamen of other countries have long
traditions of honor and chivalry at which
the Germans mocked.
German methods of making war were
brutal enough and, as the official book
Of war usages showed, the brutality was
calculated. Civilians were spared neither
in their property nor in their lives, be-
cause the proclaimed object was "to de-
stroy the total intellectual and material
resources" of the enemy. But though
the outrages perpetrated in France and
Belgium thrilled the world with horror
some precedent for them, of a sort,
might be found in the darker pages Of
history Nothing in all sea warfare
paralleled the submarine atrocities.
Thus it has come to pass that the Ger
man seaman must bear for many q wear
burden of obloquy.
There is nothing to show that these Of
fcers feel the slightest conjunction or
& IL
the peculiar heroes of the German
people, and it is not probable that they
have dropped the heroic pose. If they
are brought to trial we shall doubtless
be edited by further revelations of the
German conception of honor. Won
Spcer's defence Of the sinking of the
ships at Scapa Flow is one more proof
of the truth of the saying that no one
but German can understand a German.
