ions and conrols public opinion, be-
cause the average person is incapable
Of the process Of actual thought; his
mind merely receives impressions. He
is utterly unable to reason logically,
a posteriori, from effects or causes.
Even accurate a priori ratiocination,
for that matter, is beyond his menal

Propaganda is slow poison, based
on international envy, malice, ignor-
ance and hate. It has been an affair
Of government, directed by rulers and
diplomats, iterated and reiterated by
press and platform, and finally parrot
ed by every fathead and bullhead until
the national psychology is saturated
with it. Its aim may be disguised as
concern for the safety Of the nation or
cloaked under a desire to save an
erring sister country, but the purpose
of propaganda always is to foster hate
and its end is war"
In our own United States, with their
conglomerate citizenry. 1t is found ad-
visable in the interest Of domestic har-
mony to hold such methods in abey-
ance until the immediate occasion
arises, when they are employed with
an excellent efficiency.
For example, the courtly Castilians
were kindly people, meriting and re-
ceiving our most exalted esteem, un-
til the Spanish-American war, when
straightway a character Of amazing
atrocity was ascribed to them as q
whole. They no longer were human,
but were savage beasts spawned Of
monsters, fit only to be hunted down
and slaughtered. Soon after the close
of hostilities, however, a resumption
Of trade relations restored the Span
iards to their former altitudinous
place in our admiration.
Likewise, our Mexican war-purely
an adventure Of conquest-transform-
ed the Montezumas into a horde Of
super-demons; and continuously since
they have been alternately saints or
devils accordingly as the prospect Of
war approached or receded
Prior To our participation in the
World War. the Germans were entire
ly an excellent people and one Of the
most desirable elements Of our ma
tional life. Simultaneous with such
entry, they became the "unspeakable
Huns" possessed Of every diabolical
attribute unto the utmost exhaustion
Of the possibilities Of execration. With
a return Of need for their votes and
their commercial favor, their superior
virtues again were discernible.
While the respective possession Of
governmental power and economic
control by opposing parties wavered
in the balance Of war, the Russian boil
sheviki were by turns blood thirsty
barbarians due for determination or
lofty patriots deserving recognition
according to the various vacillations
Of the commercial cat trying TO decide
which way It should spring.
When desirable for the purposes Of
war, imaginary blood-barriers are
reared wherein ethic differences ex-
list. So long as a third war with Eng
land was n perennial possibility. our

Patriotism" defended the Russian
despotism. Patriotism" upheld the
Prussian autocracy against the recent
patriotic" onslaught of rival autoc-
racies. Patriotism" has fought every
war Of conquest and oppression. "Pa-
triotism' now is invoked against the
Jews in blood war in Europe and q
bloodless war in the United States.
Race hostility is systematically cul-
tivated by governments and held in
reserve for state Requirements. It sell
dom is stirred to active demonstration
except for promotion Of war. Occas-
ionally it is encouraged internally in
safe moderation by governments with
a populative plurality-as the defunct
dual empire Of Austro-Hungary. and
Great Britain with its multiplicity Of
ethnic variants-in order that each
blood-group may serve as a check
upon the others and thus prevent coal
escence Of intrigue.
Wars are wagcd for various econo-
mic reasons-but always for economic
reasons only, whatever the putative
purpose; for commercial advantage
when intensive competition restricts
the world market for rival powers; for
territorial expansian to relieve by COL
onization a painfully congested popu-
lation with its consequent economic
evils that breed a dangerous discon-
tent; to restrain aggressions that
threaten national industrial interests;
to divert the minds Of the masses and
restore the spirit Of solidarity when
economic oppression at home impels
to revolt; to afford greater opportuni-
ty for graft, and from many similar
motives.
War does not come as elimination
Of irresistible influences and unavoid-
able incidents, as deceptive diplomats
would have US believe. It is the pur-
pose and desire Of governments to
make war-offensive war-when eco
nomic advantage can be gained there
by. This is proved even by such mi
nor detail as official Technology.
Otherwise, instead Of a department Of
war in irenic intervals, we would have
q department Of military defense; or,
better, a department Of National Safe
ty. To 90 farther in consistency and
suggest department Of peace, whose
function should be to coordinate all
the country's resources for avoidance
of war, might appear as an ironic i'm
pugnment Of the sincerity Of the pa
cific pretensions Of our lofty-minded
statesmen.
To obtain the approval and neces-
sary participation Of the populace, in
preparing for war rulers resort to GER
tain specious pretexts. Whatever the
auxiliary influences invoked, always
and with unfailing productive results
they appeal to the impulse Of patriot
ism, alleging that the national honor
has been assailed OF that national
honor has been assailed or that ma
tional rights have been violated; in
variably providing a plausible casus
belli, even to the extent Of blowing up

irving the assassination Of absentee
citizens, or deliberately inviting dis

WIRELESS FOG SIGNALS

me secretary OF commerce has an
nounced that in view of the important
development of a radio compass by
the bureau of standards, three wire
less fog signals will be immediately
installed at the entrance to New York
harbor through the lighthouse service.
Each of these three stations is
equipped with an automatic radio set
sending out signals continuously dur
ing fog or thick weather. They may
be picked up on shipboard by means
OF the new radio compass which ind,-
Gates the direction from which the
radio signals are sent out, and by
taking observations on the different
stations the captain of a vessel may
determine his exact position without
being obliged to rely on the former
unsatisfactory method of locating
himself by the sound of whistles and
foghorns.
These signals have been developed
as the result of cooperative expert
ments by the bureau of standards and
the lighthouse service, and more espe-
oiany through the research work OF
the bureau of standards in improving
the radio compass. 1t differs from all
other systems in use for determining
radio direction in THAT the naviga tor
himself can determine radio bearings
just as he uses his magnetic compass
for bearings in clear weather and he
does not have to depend upon expert
radio operators. The ether advan-
tage is that the sending apparatus is
easily installed and can be operated
by the regular light keepers without
any skilled personnel. and that any
number of vessels at sea equipped
with radio compasses may obtain
their position at the same time with
out interference.
These signals have been installed
on Ambrose Channel and Fire Island
lightships and at Sea Girt lighthouse
and will operate on a wave length Of
1000 meters. the instrumental standard
for such signals, The lighthouse serv-
ice plans TO establish other stations
near the entrances to the principal
ports and at other important points
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts as
rapidly az necessary funds are pro-
vided.
Because OF the great risks and I'M
certainties attendant on the naviga
ton Of vessels during fog. it Is ex-
pected that this development will be
OF the greatest value in increasing the
safety OF navigation.

not of course, include our patients IN
rented beds in contract hospitals, who
numbered 1928.
six per cent leeway is a fright
fully narrow margin on which to run
any hospital; for any day, any hour,
the hospital may be swamped by new
patients. Particularly is this so in
hospitals for soldier patients, very
large per cent of whom are continual
ly asking for discharge or transfer to
other hospitals. or leaving without
formality. The turnover in our hos
pitfalls for the week was 2,275 admit
ted and 1854 discharged.
1.-The per cent does not, of course,
refer to the same beds or to beds IN
the same hospital, city, state or even
section of the country. Almost any
one of our hospitals may, and not
infrequently does, run, 20 per cent
below on one day and 10 per cent
over on the next-with the men sleep
ing in improvised beds till they can
be trasfcrred to other hospitals.
"The situation is made more diff
cult by the necessity of setting aside
20 out of our Sc hospitals for special
troubles-12 for tuberculosis patients.
7 for -psychiatric patients and
one for epileptics. Such patients are
of course not interchangeable.
Another difficulty arises from the
lack of personnel especially of nurses,
the demand for whom is everywhere
pressing. In spite Of its utmost eff
orts, the service has been unable to
recruit it's corps fast enough to keep
pace with the increase in its patients;
and it is now about 800 short. With
out nurses. a hospital cannot be eff
ciently conducted; and the service is
continually being forced, now in this
hospital and now in that, to keep
down the number of patients or to
render insufficient service to all.
Similar shortages exist in the
ranks of its reconstruction aides and
it's dietitians, all of whom, like it's
nurses, are women. Lack in these
bodies, though not quite so vital, new
ertheless means much to the health
and comfort of the patients"

Bert Lesion Taylor
The City of Roses

Bert Lesion Taylor, creator of "a
Line % Type or Two" in the Chicago
Tribune, died Saturday night at the
age of 54, victim of pneumonia. NJ.
Taylor was born at Goshen, Mass,
edited a paper at Greenfield, n. II
and at Duluth, Mimi. For Is years he
was member of the Tribune staff and
his column had become noted all over
the world.
Conducting THE Line" was only a
part of Mr.. Taylor's literary labors.
He contributed verse and articles,
particularly concerning golf, his fav-
orite recreation, to many magazines.
In addition he was the author of sew
eral books, including The Well in the
Wood" published in 1904; The Char
latan," 1906; "a Line O. Verse or Two, -
1911; THE Pipesmoke Carry" 1912,
and Motley Measures" 1918.
Mr.. Taylor's home was in Glencoe
There survive. besides the widow. two
daughters, Alva Thoits Taylor. "a
years old, and Barbara Lesion Taylor,
years old. His Bah Ballads" were
written for Barbara.
Editorially. the Tribune on Sunday
said of Mr.. Taylor:
Newspaper people are disciplined
in one thing which is good for the
ego. None is Indispensable. The pa
per would look just the same no mat
ter who dropped out That was not
true of Mr.. Taylor. 1t is not true now.
1t was a rare genius which broke
down the rule Of destiny for news
paper folk.
Bert Lesion Taylor was a rare gen.
JUS. He was a man of distinction in
American letters. The most famous
initials in America, B. L. T. repro
sented an Attis elegance in the con-
temporary welter of crudity, stupidity,
banality and gaucheness of writing.
He gave the huTnany progeny Of
the Ark an imperishahie name, rha
eso-called human race" but what
might have made a Swift of him was
lacking. He never resigned from the
club. He continued in full member

laughing member OF the so-called hui
man race.

EMPTY TIN CANS.

Thousands of tin cans, most Of
them unpunctured. are dumped az
Alacaniz and Romana-sts. The en-
tire area on the northeast intersec-
ton of these streets is covered with
the rusting containers of the modern

canned chow. The city incinerator
heap is disgrace and an eyesore, es-
pecially as it is located on one of the
principal paved streets of the city
True, the dump is burned off two or
three times a week with oil and prob
ably is as free from disease breeding
refuse as many other places in the
city, yet the place is far from being
an attractive one and it's presence so
close to the central portion of the city
is worthy of censure.
The mayor has issued a cleanup
proclamation. Here is something for
the city to clean up. These thousands
of tin cans. old iron hoops, etc, should
be disposed of in some other way than
by permitting them to lie until they
disappear under the action of the ele-
ments.

returned.
Then I should advise you to lose
no time in taking out heavy insur-

There probably is not much danger
against fire, but If a certain gang Of
picture thieves in New York knew OF
these pictures I wouldn't give you

ITO make it really melodramatic,

family and admits the thieves" 1 put
in with assumed gaiety.
AS 1 spoke I watched Mrs. Allis
carefully. 1 think she was aware of
my scrutiny, for she did not finch or
change color, but into her eyes crept
hard, murderous little look. She
took up the challenge. however, with
out a tremOr.
"Ah, yes, the disguised adventures, -
she exclaimed with a tinkling little
laugh THAT must be either you or

Graham? Is your sister really what
she seems?"
Not in the least" Dicky rejoined
promptly she is really a dangerous
person, so dangerous that I think 1

allowed to stand. I thought thac

good title. It was The So-Called HUI
man Race" It is to be hoped, and
we believe it will be found to be true,
that the material is in such shape
that the book will find its form and
publication. That makes the regret
keener that she should not have lived
to see its covers.
THE book was and will be The
Line. The Line was great because
1t was all Of great man. His devo-
ton to it was the source OF its great
ness. He could not be enticed into
many Of the alluring offers which
might have spread out his activities
even if they did not increase his fame.
He hewed to the Line and a single
ness of affection poured all Of his
genius into it.
He was a corrective. He used the
whip, and people learned the lesson
and did not feel the welts. If he had
not been so scrupulous in his methods
many foot of book shelf might con-
tain his volumes, but he would do
nothing until he had satisfied himself
that he had encircled the subject
many times. He could not slur a
microscopic detail He would not re-
lease a phrase until he was certain
that in no other form would it be SO
good.
1T is out of the question that now
any one Of his associates could write
anything of him but empty words,
which seem merely to deride their ut
terer. He has written his last line,
but many that precede it are imper-
ishable."
