Representatives. The Democratic
minority there has broken with the
a administration on the issue Of real
national defense. Its stand cannot
be ignored. The Republican ma
jority must meet the challenge,
unless it, too, is to be tarred with
pacifism.
Whatever may be said in favor Of
rot Immediately appropriating money
to start a system Of military train
ing, no Argument except the pacifist
once can be made against establish
ing the principle Of compulsory train
ing through the new army reorgani-
zation bill. The pacifists in the
Democratic party have seized the
leadership out Of Mr.. Wilson's hands.
The Republican party must also de-
fine it's position. 1t has talked in
favor Of adequate national defense
Now is the time to prove that it be-
lieves in a genuine national defense
system.

fail to appeal to the average Ger
man mind. Even to-day the Ger
man press bristles with righteous
indignation over the wickedness of
the Slesvig Danes, who, instead of
going into mourning over the de-
cision Of the peace treaty, actually
rejoice in being reunited to Den
mark. From the German point of
view Herr Mendelssohn- -Bartholdy's
analogy hardly can be called fortu-
nate or tactful. Yet it is in point.
The difference in the attitude of
the Beers of South Africa on the
one hand and the Alsatians, Lor-
rainers, Slesvig Danes and the Poles
Of Posen on the other summarizes,
in way, the difference between
British and German polty. Herr
Mendelssohn- -Bartholdy may not be
aware Of it, but he has put his finger
on one of the reasons of the German
disaster.

A Public Servant
The Record of the Late
Walter Lindner

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Public notice is accorded TO
the lives of many men when they pass
away who had done far less for the
community and served with far less
distinction than Walter Lindner, Who
died few days ago.
All his life Lindner seemed never
to have thought that any public recos
nltlon was due him. He worked in
credlbly hard and gave freely of his
time for public causes. He was only
hfty-four years old when he died and
yet for fifteen years he had been re
garded as one Of the leaders of the
legal profession for his knowledge OF
real estate law. In 1907 he devoted
much time and his invaluable expert
ence to the drafting and perfecting Of
an amendment to the New York char
ter, which provides for the collection
OF real estate taxes. The bill upon
which he worked became law in 1903
It's value has been amply demonstrates
Not year has gone by since then
mat his advice had not been sought
concerning public questions. Perfect
reliance could be put upon a disinter-
ested and highly expert opinion being
given.
With all his learning and the high
standing he had in his profession,
waiter Lindner was one of the most
modest OF men. He never obtruded
ms opinions and always listened re-
spectfuiiy to the opinions of others
lar less learned than himself.
Two years ago Mr.. Lindner became
member of the tenement house
committee Of the Charity Organization
society and served on that committee
until his death. He will be sorely
missed by many who had learned the
value of his advice and assistance.

Premature Indignation

Secretary Daniels is filed with
righteous indignation, he says, be-
cause Admiral Sims disclosed the
nature of certain instructions given
to him confidentially. The Secre-
tary's indignation seems rather one
sided. Other people are likely to be
more aroused by the nature of the
instructions disclosed than by the
mere fact of their disclosure.
Admiral Sims has reported that
he was told. in effect, that "the
United States would as soon fight
the British as the Germans. At
the moment when the admiral was
sent to London war between Ger
many and the United States had be-
come unavoidable. Sims went to
London to arrange a plan Of CO.
operation with the British Adj
miralty. If he received the instruc-
tions which he has divulged the
ohense of the person giving them
far exceeds any offense which Sims
may have given by making public
something that was told him in con-
fidence.
Why doesn't Secretary Daniels
exercise his indignation against the
official who, on the eve of the war,
could have been so far misled as to
Its causes and purposes as to say
that this country "would as soon
fight The British as the Germans"?
Such remark is almost incompre
hensible in its crude ignorance of
what America was about to fight for.
The United States was driven into
the war by Germany's persistent
aggression. Our rights on the high
seas were denied by the German gov
ernment. Americans were muir
dered while travelling on the seas
peacefully and in accordance with
the rules Of international law. Ger
many had wantonly committed many
acts of war before Admiral Sims
was called to Washington to receive
instructions. She was already our
enemy. Any American official who
couldn't see that, and was so morally
befuddled as to intimate that the
United States was as likely to fight
Great Britain as Germany, was and
IS grossly unfit to hold any position
under the government.
What were the instructions given
to Admiral Sims and who gave
them? These. are the questions
which are really important. The
public is likely to express some
rather explosive opinions if the
charges which Admiral Sims makes
are established 1t is restrainino
Its indignation until the facts are
barred. 1t would be in better taste
If Mr.. Daniels also restrained his.

The Public Must Fight

The merits of the new controversy
between the railroad administration
and one or more of the railroad
brotherhoods the public does not pre-
tend to understand. Thus it gives
Judgment neither way as to whether
Ger not railway wages should have
another boost.
6 But the public understands, most
shoroughly understands, what is
ssMeant when one party rushes from
1.-The secret conference and gives
iSnotice that on Tuesday next, Feb
sxpary II, it will tie up the railroads
~ its demands are nat met
e. - Here Is an open declaration of
purpose to wage war on the public
sHere is an ultimatum not differing
auuch from those the former Kaiser
aad q passion for issuing.
X The public is pacific. 1t is pre-
pared to dig down for the few re-
manning coins in its pockets if it
zan be shown that it justly owes the
Railway men anything.
g But it is given no chance to in
bulge its preference for 4eece, or
4ven to look over the bill presented
10 1t. If it does not at once submit
1t is to be starved into subjection.
Under the circumstances there is no
Choice save to fight, and to fight
shard.
s Once there were disputes between
The railroads and their employees.
Those days are past. The conflict
is now between the employees and
the public. 1t is the public's money
that the employees propose to annex.
Every ounce of power possessed
by the government, by public opin-
ION and by men and women as indl-
Wduals must be exerted, first, to head
of the purposed arbitrary strike
and, second, to beat it if il comes.

The Boer riddle"

To Germany the attitude of the
South African Beers in the World
War has been a source Of much bit
terness and more wonderment. The
Dutch people of the former repub-
lies OF Transvaal and the Orange
free State were to revolt. What
the Germans witnessed instead was
apart from the abortlve De Wet
rising in 19l4-a magnificent war
effort in which the same people that
only ten years previously were
engaged in fighting the British for
life and death defended the empire.
The spectacle was beyond ordinary
Teutonic comprehension.
Writing IN the Munich monthly
Der Neue MerA;ur, a German pub
licist, A. Mendelssohn- Burtholdy,
now tries to illuminate this prob
lem in "Volkerpsychologie" by a
hypothetical analogy. Suppose, he
says, Germany had conquered Dem
mark some ten or fifteen years ago.
Suppose, furthermore, the German
government had, few years after
the conquest, granted the annexed
Danes full self-government and in
Vlted Danish leaders to participate
on an equal footing in imperial
councils. Suppose that in those
councils the interests of DenmsYk
had been accorded consideration
equal to those of Germany itself.
Would not the Danes have fought
for the German Empire in its hour
of supreme need, just as the Beers
fought for Britain?
We are afraid the parallel will

Last in War, Last in Peace

An outspoken reader of The Trib-
une, endowed with swift-darting
memory and painful sense of fact,
summed up the record of our
twenty-eighth President in the
words above. They are far from the
whole record. A wealth of high in
tellectual process and brilliant pub
lie endeavor came before and came
between. But the phrase does hit
its bullseye with fateful thud.
Is it only coincidence? Or is it
an innate and essential trait Of char
acter that this rude bracketing of
1917 and 1920 brings up before one?
There were explanations, reasons
abundant, then for holding back
until the moment after the last pos
sible moment. There are explana-
Gons abundant to-day. There always
are reasons against action. That
is one Of the best things that rea-
sons do. We are not concerned at
the moment with the quality of these
easons-against war in 1917. or
against peace in 1920 The phrase
OF our correspondent stresses only
the singular coincidence that as in
February and March, 1917, when the
Lusitania had been sunk for almost
Two years, and the last "pcace note"
had been written and houtcd. and
Count Won Bernstorff had been dis
missed, and the whole, nation was
restive and resolved, Woodrow Will
son still waited, unmoved and unpre
pared, so now in February, 1920.
with the whole nation and our allies
lmpatlently resolved upon a certain
peace, it IS Woodrow Wilson who
withholds consent.
Is this due to characteristic Of
the highly trained intellect that. con-
fronted with realities, it insists upon
perfection and yet more perfection?
Or is 1t due to--what? We suspect
that, at least, our correspondents
phrase is right in pointing to the
outstanding facts in the Wilsonian
record for which future historians
Will first of all seek an explanation.

A Straight-Shooting Governor

A Governor of courage, who meant
what he said, revealed himself in
Kentucky, and another lynching was
not added to the black record of our
country: The example of Edwin
P. Morrow ought to spread far. He
is n Republican, and young-plainly
he represents the new spirit Of the
South. But that spirit has gained
rapidly in late years. 1t is the pre-
vailing view among the men of Wis
dom and foresight, South as North.
1t needs only wholehearted courage
on the part of responsible officials to
end this gross and tragic failure of
American law for all time.
The formula used by Governor
Morrow is the only one that can cope
with the passions Of a mob, right
eously wrathful but terribly wrong
in its effort to usurp the powers of
lawful and orderly justice. "Shoot
to kill" was the announced order to
the troops. And it was meant as
solemnly as it was given. Five men
lie dead in consequence. But the
majesty Of the State of kentucky
has been vindicated. Her citizens
can hold their heads high.

Pacihsm Comes Back

lhe Democratic opponents of pre.
paredness, who wanted to avoid war
with Germany at any cost of ma
tlohal honor and who in 1916 per-
petrated the sham Hay army re-
organization bill on the country
were, of course, not converted hv
our war experience. They are still
b'goted and blind. They think that
votes are to be had this year, as in
1916, by objecting to the principle
OF universal military obligation and
compulsory military training. They
want to keep the country out of
other wars by destroying it's capacitv
to defend itself.
The President has learned les
son from contact with war realities.
tie sponsored the Hay bill. He vas
opposed, up to April, 1917, to the
conscriptive syster. That system
was repugnant to his temperament
ana habits of thought. But he con-
quered his prejudices, and now ad-
dresses this warning to Democratic
congressman:
THE present disturbed state OF the
world does not permit such sureness
with regard to Americas obligation
as to allow US lightly to decide upon
this great question upon purely mill
tary grounds, while the demonstra
advantages to the use Of the country
which came from military service in
the war plainly suggest that in the
national interest, quite apart from
military considerations, the moderate
ana carefully conducted course Of
military training may have the high
est possible advantages"
This is the language of serious
craftsmanship. But it doesn't appeal
to men who still cherish ancient
illusions. Foremost among those
who voted to reject the Presidents
counsel and to commit the party cut
right against compulsory military
training were Claude Kitchin, who
opposed declaration of war against
Germany and who boasted that he
was going to penalize through fiscal
legislation the sections of the coun-
try which We're strongest for war:
Champ Clark, who said he couldn't
see much difference between con-
scripts and convicts; Dent, the for
mer chairman of the House Military
Affairs Committee, who fought the
draft bill; Flood, Field and the
others who wanted to see the gov
ernment fight the war without de-
veloping the nations full military
strength.

At Last Hitting Together

The Senate's vote of IS to 8 in
favor Of the treaty's reconsideration
gives abundant basis for the beliefs
expressed by both Senators Lodge
and Hitchcock that ratification by
the Senate will be speedily achieved
And the cup Of good news is
further filled by another supplement
tary White House statement that the
Presidents letter of Saturday has
been "misconstrued"- d"-that perhaps
he Is willing to accept reservation
to Article X embodying the Lodge
Lenroot principle. This declaration,
Of course, implies that the President
will accept and forward the treaty
I, as ratified by the Senate.
z: The struggle has been long one,
but at last in sight is q settlement
which there Is reason to think will
be satisfactory to the great mass Of
our people and to our friends abroad.
A beating down and suppression
Tof various types of unreasonable
mess has occurred.
First, there was the unreasonable
mess, represented by the ''irrecon-
~cilables," Of those who thought it
was possible or desirable for the
country to return to it's old policy Of
aloofness.
:, Second, the unreasonableness of
the White House, which sought to
uphold the preposterous and uncon-
stitutional doctrine that a President,
I going personally abroad, could sign
an instrument which the Senate and
the country must accept without the
change Of word or punctuation
mark.
Third, the unreasonableness which
in an excess Of unjustified fear
sought so to overload the treaty with
amendments or reservations as to
make the proposed league non-func-
tioning.
These various elements, combining.
although their objectives differed.
succeeded in preventing the ratifica
ton OF the treaty in November. But
at last right reason has won its way
forward-has pushed aside narrow
ness, personal pride and partisan
I ship.
The irreconcilab1es are not to have
their way; the President is not to
have his way about usurping for the
executive department. prerogatiyes
which do not belong to it; the par
tisans arc not to have their way, for
there Is to be no victory for any
party.
The American people are to have
their way. There is to be retained
sll tho good of the covenant, and at
the same time our national liberty of
sction Is not weakened. Those who
hatiy supported the President saw
only the FIRST item; those who fatty
opposed saw only the second item.
