Excluding Alien Anarchists.

The demands which are now made
for revision of the immigration law
to make more difficult the entrance
of anarchists and other revolution
lists into this country appear to be
supported In some quarters on the
theory that at present the nations
gates are wide open to vermin of this
kind. This is not the case. The i'm
migration law of 1917 contains rigid
and explicit provisions for the ex-
cluslon of undesirables such ms those
who now force themselves on popu-
lar attention. Section 3 of this act
reads in part:

when Does the Peyote Special start?

Peyote comes to us from the Aztec
peyotl, meaning caterpillar, and to
the highly tutored redman of to-day
from his predecessors on this CONT
nent. There are several species of the
plant, used, in the frlgid words of the
encyclopedia, "by the Indians of the
plains and central plateau to produce
a peculiar kind of mental exhilara.

approval, unless they are associated
with the League Of Nations. so peyote
has attracted the attention of the
Anti-SalOon League, the present day
suppressor of several old fashioned
forms of exhilaration, which has been
asked to extirpate it.

or buttons" of the peyote at night,

The Army Bill.

No attempt has been made by the
House Committee on Military Affairs
to formulate permanent military
policy in the bill for the support Of
the army next year. The measure
provides for force Of 100000 men
and 21,O00 officers, a reduction Of
100000 men and 1000 officers from
the personnel contemplated by the
measure which failed Of passage In
the Sixty-ffth Congress. 1t carries
an appropriation Of about $500, OOO,-
900, against SLIT 100000 carried by
Its predecessor.
The measure may properly be de-
scribed as a stop gap. Nobody in
Congress or out of Congress knows
now how large an army we shall need
in the future. 1t is assumed that
100000 men will stay in Germany for
some time and that an equal number
will be needed for service elsewhere.
To meet these requirements and re-
duce the cost of the army as low rs
possible is the purpose Of the authors
of the present bill.
When the reconstruction OF the
army on permanent basis Is under
taken many intricate problems must
be solved. The questions of universal
training and universal service will
be involved. Provision must be made
for the maintenance Of technical corps
capable of quick expansion to utilize
the latest discoveries of science in
warfare. The air service must be
supported on the highest plane of
efficiency. Tanks must be developed
New weapons must be produced,
tested and adapted to fighting under
various conditions. And yet all this
must be done with constant thought
for the national Treasury, which Is
not going to overflow with cash for
years to come.
1t would be futile to attempt to lay
down n military policy before we
know what we are likely to need for
our defence and before all the lessons
of the war with Germany have been
carefully studied. Congress has acted
wisely in not attempting too ambi-
tious programme.

A Chain OF Lightships to Europe.

The suggestion made by Com
mander TOWERS that chain of light
ships be stretched across the Atlantic
as IN aid to airships Is practicable,
but 1t would be expensive. Some
lightships in present use are compli-
Gated vessels, with steam power and
comfortable quarters, yet 1t is I'M
likely that any of the ships along the
Atlantic coasts would do for the mid
ocean job. 1t is obviously impossible
to anchor ship in the great deeps
OF the ocean. Therefore whenever
the least wind was stirring the light
ships of the proposed chain would
have to be under power in order to
keep to their stations.
In spite of the cost the idea has
good points. Ten ships 300 miles
apart would span the Atlantic and,
what with lights'and wireless appara-
tus, they would make the voyage of
the airplanes so comparatively safe
that the experiments which are GER
tain to be continued until the nom
stop passage between the continents
Is accomplished would be robbed of
most of their dangers. 1t is also
true, as Commander TOWERS suggests,
that these sea isles Of safety would
add to the mental comforts of steam
ship travel. They might also be used
to put. off stowaways and smoking
room gamblers.

A CHINAMAN ON CHINA.
Mr.. Yui Seeks American Support in
Opposition to Japan.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Hav-
ing heard the speech made by that in
toIesting Chinaman David z. T. Yui
before the Merchants Association last
Wednesday I cannot help expressing
my regret that the address delivered by
Mr.. Vanderlip should have practically
crowded the other speech out OF the
newspapers
Mr.. Yui explained that China is I'M
dcrgoing a moral awakening. equivalent
to the awakening Of national con-
seriousness that she is endeavoring to
make herself a true republic. like the
United States, and that she Is striving
to make the world safe for democ-
racy."
He intimated that she was being
hampered in the achievement OF these
ideals by a neighboring nation. ruled
By a sort of car or kaiser known as
a Mikado. which wishes to make her a
prey. He asked the support OF the
United States against this rapacious and
constituencies neighbor, and the APP
plause which greeted his appeal showed
clearly where the sympathies of his
hearers lay.
The average American is an optimistic
idealst. He likes to believe that the
world is growing better and that he is
helping to make It so. He abhors the
black pages of secret diplomacy which
has maintained the inhdel and murder
Gus Turk for centuries at one of the
gateways OF the world and which since
time out OF mind for selfish advantage
has turned deaf ear to the prayers of
weak nations under attack.
1t was this kind OF diplomacy which
permitted Germany to seize Kiao-C hau
by force from China and which promised
to hand over the illgotten spoil to Japan
IL that country would wrest it from
the original thief.
Does any American suppose that his
nation will connive at and ratify this
theft by one ally OF his country from
another, and not only that. but seize
Uron and hand over TO Japan the en-
tire Shantung Peninsula, with popu-
lation OF 100000 and OF incalculable
commercial value? Is 1t possible that
this country, after scanning the record
OF broken promises which attended the
absorption OF tho unhappy Hermit King
dom, will give any weight whatever TO
the promise of the spoler TO give up
Lis prey at some unspecined time in
the future7
l have too much faith in the Ameri-
can sense OF honor and common de-
ccncy to believe It. Such assent would
be too monumental piece OF hypocrisy

A SERMON IN A SEAPLANE.
When Discouraged Remember the
NC-4s Experience.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Sir. II
this should chance to meet the eye OF
any young man or woman who is hav-
ing a hard struggle to get n start in
life let him or her remember the NC-4.
The United States Navy started three
seaplanes from Rockaway Beach to fly
to Newfoundland and thence to the
Azores and then across the Atlantic
Ocean. The NC-4 had trouble from the
start. She was the lame duck and fell far
behind. A lot OF people thought she was
out of the race, but her crew and her
commander did not despair 1t would
have been easy to quit when they were
a thousand miles behind and everything
seemed breaking wrong for them-when
the limslight and all public attention
ahead. Bct they kept right on working
and kept cool and did not get mad and
smash anything. BY and by their time
came. and all the world knows that
finally the NC-4 was the first flying
machine OF any description 10 cross the
Atlantic by its own power.
II is laid down in Holy Writ that
the race is not to the swift nor the bat
tic 10 the strong, and we have read how
the tortoise distanced the hare. but it
has remained for the aeroplanes to give
a twentieth century demonstration OF the
fact that success is most often won by
staying qualities and not by a burst of
speed.
II you think YOU have not a chance.
that others with far superior advantages
have left you away back in the ruck
unsung and unnoticed, keep COOL remem-
Der the NC-i and keep plugging along.
Your chance will come. Do your very
best never quit; your chance is GER
tain to come. G.. II. GILLIAN.
