A Theory and Condition.

- favorlte color, replled: ANY OLD color SO
IA long as it's red" She was speaking a
preference only of the eye, and aesthetic
sense. Had she been Socialist and seeking to
give her branch of the Socialism of today she
would have needed to specify an exact shade with
detailed scrupulousness. There as many shades
of red in Socialism as are known the dyers art.
Even Communism is split up into many fac
tions. The really truly, only blood-red that drips
gore and thirst for battle from a safe distance,
is allied with Trotsky's personally conducted
Third Internationale. Even they, if in Russia,
would probably be comrades of big Bhr' Hay
wood in prison. They are now everywhere in
France, Germany, Italy and in Russia, a
minority of the minority. There just enough
of them to be able to agree to disagree among
themselves.
The latest split among the Communists here
is in the Rand School OF New York, where there
was a walk-out when a meeting was held to
reorganize the school Naturally every name given
OF the bolters and Of those who cling to Trotsky,
without going to him, leader, that of a
foreigner There is not an American name in the
list which is another good reason for the new
immigration law. All these Communists are In
ternationalists and an Internationalst cannot be
an American. No naturalization naturalizes one of
them.
all the way to pale, hardly distinguishabae pink,
a sort of pale rose flush when it reaches to the
merely sympathetically inclined. In between are
considerable bodies of sincere men and women
to be reckoned with and listened to- up to and
beyond those dialecticians Of the Committee of
Forty eight, who also split in shades, and who
think they know what they believe and why. AS
rule the scientific Socialist is theorist but the
rank and file swayed by personal conditions.
In fact while there is nothing so purely theoreti-
cal Socialism, there is nothing quite practical
in its basis in conditions. 1t comes and goes as
conditions change When men have to spend
their savings to get food and shelter, when there
is unemployment in the midst of plenty, when
and yet millions OF men are idle Socialism hourshes
in fertile soil. 1t is not theory, but a condition
. On the other hand when there is full en-
pioyment demand, wages good and margin
beyond the necessaries, can save; when
thrift results in savings and savings put at work
investments return income, Socialism ceases
to be condition and again is theory. 1t is
hardly less national menace today that there
so many who want work but cannot get it,
than that many of those who had savings have
had to spend this surplus to live.
Some day capital will learn that its basic rule
of safety is in its wide distribution. That its law
of selfpreservation is work at good wages for all
who are willing to work. That large fortunes
have assurance of security only supported on
the bed rock of many little fortunes which make
millions of little capitalists contented in their enough
but not too much.

ly. trust. Mat Secretary Weeks and
the officers OF the regular army are
opposed TO this bill This seems in
credible. since such feeling can be
based upon but one thing-class dis
tinction, which was unfortunately so
obvious during service in France. To
those who had previously served with
or under officers OF the regular army
or navy. this class feeling was human
and natural. The regular officers had
given years to the study OF the mill
tary profession and had attained their
commissions by training and experience
as well as by proven ability and were
entitled TO the pride in their profes-
sion which has made them the finest
body OF officers in the world. To be
suddenly outnumbered and flooded
with thousands Of amateur officers,
willing but unframed. and commits
stoned overnight. and to be compelled
to share with them the honors and
responsibilities OF military action and
control, was naturally disturbing. 1t
was equally natural that they should
feel the superiority which training and
experience warranted. Emergency Of
ficers, however. ignored. or discussed
humorously. all indications OF this
feeling. They were there on neces-
sary but unpleasant duty and their
ambition went no further than a de-
sire TO do their bit" worthily and see
the end Of 1.-THE sooner the better.
Thus far the feeling OF class dLstinc-
tion was perfectly justified. But 1t is
incredible that such an attitude can
be made to apply to the Just provisions
Of the bill in question, leading to the
/ application Of a great power and in.
| fiuence for such a petty and unworthy
purpose. The 5000 disabled officers
are widely scattered and can exert nc
united influence in favor OF their hill
and maintain no lobby. On the con.
| trary. the army, represented by a
Cabinet officer and connected by 1000
Invisible wires with the Congress and
the government. is, in itself. a tire
mendous lobby able 10 exert a mighty
influence. 1t is TO be hoped, there
fore, that opposition does not exist
and that the Endorsement Of the Ameri
can Legion. the support Of the press
and the fairness Of our legislators will
insure the passage of this bill, the
simple Justice OF which you so ably
presented.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
When one has enjoyed the talent
OF composition and leadership of
persons who have had the privilege
Of entertaining and giving pleasure
by the witchery Of their music, one
is more than pained by the bonn
bastic remarks made before the
EIwanis Club by Victor Herbert.
The Puritans did not come over
on the Mayhower. The people com
ing on the Mayhower were called
Pilgrims and were different from
the Puritans, who came over later.
The descendants Of the Pilgrims
have been members of audiences
contributing many dollars of Auerf-
can money which Herbert has SO
elgerly sought; also there are many
in our halls of Congress who are
descendants of those same May
flower Pilgrims whose favor he now
seeks for an appropriation for a
M stional opera company to be e.
tablished in this city. Herber, had

LARGE N-RAY TUBES
PRODUCED BEFORE THE WAR

America in 1918 had produced
large X-rsy tubes that were capa-
bic OF being operated at voltages
Of 100000 or with a 2O-inch spark
gap between points, DR.. W. D..
Coolidge. Of Schenectady, n. Y. in
vcntor of the Coolidge tube, that
is used on practically all Roentgen-
ray machines. brought out in a pa
per before the American ROentgeu
Ray Society at the Washington Ho-
tel yesterday.
These high-voltage tubes would
have been placed in the hands OF
the medical profession for expert
mental therapy at that time. had
IL not been for the fact that the
voltage called for was not then
generally available" DR.. Coolidge
declared. Experimental trans
formers for 225,OOO volts and a
large mechanical rectiier had heeu
built when the laboratory work was
interrupted by the war.
These powerful tubes. which will
permit OF the treating OF -~"p-
seated cancers. have been further
developed in the General Electric
Company laboratories since The
war. and the difficulties in current
production and the manufacture u
reliable tubes to stand high volt
ages is reaching a point where the
large volta Ees can be used in praC-
ticsl medical work.
In Or. CoolidEe's prewsr expert
ments il was also found that the
absorption coeftCient continued 20
decrease with increasing voltage
up to 2Oo.0 .0OO. German physicists
have enunciated this law since the
war.

friends to call on them on visiting
day so that their complaints might
be taken to where they would be
seen or heard. On a visiting day
you see a Veritable army of ham
pers, bags and bundles of food.
1t is an actual fact an immense
parade of foodstuffs and supplies
for a local Near East relief. But
for the stranger within the gates
land IL is for him that l write),
without friends and without money
you have the very last word in
coarse. poor food prepared in tbe
worst way for the holding of body
and soul together. So. then, you
have some suffering with the gout
and others with the grump in the
same jail. Because of the economic
value of the labor of John Doe and
the length of time it will be used
and because of conditions sur
rounding 1t which l have tried to
describe, the question of food be-
comes retroactive from prison, re-
formatory, work-house and into the
jail where II is not used. This in
spite of the fact that a great many
OF these men have not been con-
victed of any crimes.
At the Jail not long ago the COL
ored women refused to go to work
because they had been given food
which they could not eat. At the
last term of the court a young man
(Henry) convicted of murder came
on Friday-always on Friday-to
be sentenced to the death penalty.
The court asked him the customary
question Have you anything TO say
as to why the sentence OF the court
should not be imposed?" And this
,boy-he was only a boy-stated
that he was suffering from malnu-
triton and was hungry. His only
request was that he be given a lit
tie more food and Of a little better
quality if possible. That Judge,
wearing his official robes and
bearing the Official dignity of his
office. publicly promised that he
should receive it, and 1t was so re-
corded in the public press. Then
the death penalty was pronounced
probably with special emphasis on
the last few words of that form
ula which says. "Snd may God have
| mercy on your soul"
Partly because of waskington's
historic and educational value and
partly because it is the great beau
ty spot that made the slogan See

citizens of this country come, all
ages and both sexes. to view it,.
Children winners in all sorts of
contests from raising hogs to win
ners of beauty contests gather
here. Newly married couples come
that they may later the better
teach good citizenship and patrio-
tism TO their children. And the
aged, those who won and those who
lost, when Civil War became neces
sary to settle the dispute over per-
sonal and sectional ideals. all one
now, come to view and learn and
return to prepare for the end with
a fuller appreciation OF what this

that in the one item of hay, from 10000 to $4,000
less car loads have been shipped this year to Kan
