The Knox Resolution

The revised Knox resolution does
little more than it purports to do in
its title. 1t repealc the resolution
Of April 6, 1917, declaring the exist
ence of state Of war with Ger
many. 1t merely gives legislativ,
recognition to a fact. A state of
war existed before April 6, 1917. 1t
exists no longer except as a sort of
legal fiction. We are trading with
Germany. We have direct dealings
with the German government. Most
Of our domestic legislation valid
for the war period has been re-
pealed. War can begin without a
declaration and can end without
treaty. We have been for nearly
two years and a half in an armistice
twilight zone.
The Knox resolution doesn't bind
the United States to policy of sep
arate peace. Making peace is
Presidential function, except in so
far as the President is obliged to
submit peace treaty to the Senate.
Congress cannot properly limit his
discretion in negotiating peace. I'm
der the Knox measure, therefore, it
will be left open to him to make a
separate treaty with Germany or to
seek notifications of the Treaty Of
Versailles with a view to bringing
about it's ratification.
Accordingly, all rights accruing to
the United States under the arnis-
tice, which include reparations and
occupation of German territory, and
all rights, powers, claims, privileges.
lndemnities, reparations and advan-
tages obtained for our government
or our citizens in the unratiied Ver-
sailles Treaty are reserved in the
Knox measure. The United States
has never had any idea of divesting
itself Of it's rights as a belligerent
and will follow whatever treaty
policy seems best adapted to pro-
tect those rights.
Congress, by passing the resolu-
ton, will not alter our status so far
as the writing Of a peace settlement
with Germany is concerned. We
have the economic power, working
on either technical war or a tech
nical peace basis, to impose our
terms on Germany, and we shall i'm
pose them whatever may be the
form of the treaty in which thew
are embodied.

Pointing With Pride

fFrom The Toledo Bladej
Possibly it should be a source ~
PRIDE to US that group of able sci
entists say we are not descended from
monkeys, but that monkeys are degen-
crate descendants of our own race.
The recent discoveries of prehistoric
human remains indicate that our family
is much older than we supposed. This
IS very nice, but the accompanying de-
tails are the usual results one finds in
running up family trees. These an
cestors of ours who throve so MANY
icons ago were impossible people So
cially from all accounts and we are
wonderful improvements upon them in
every way.
Gratitude that our race may feel in
being relieved Of the stigma of simian
ancestry is therefore not unal,ovea
with the unpleasant. There are no in
dlcatlons in scientific research that

They seem to have been OVERRIDING
the road building business in Ar
kansas. We must regard it as ex-
cessive to tax real estate more than
100 per cent Of its assessed value for
the improvement of highways, par
ticularly when the highways are
miles away from the property thus
taxed. Such roads would surely be
roads to ruin for the luckless farm
ers. Nevertheless, even such abuses
suggest considerations of practically
universal application and problems
which must everywhere be solved.
The complete revolution in traffic
during the last generation has COM
PEELED an equal revolution in road
building. Earth and gravel are no
longer usable. Macadam is unfit for
heavy traffic. Nothing but telford
or concrete will bear the ponderous
and swift vehicles of to-day. And
such roads cost from $4,000 to $780,
900 a mile. How is such cost to
be met?
Obviously, not by the abutting
land owners nor by the municipality.
To tax land worth $100 an acre for
road costing $50,000 a mile would
be confiscation. Nor would it be
just even if the locality could stand
it. For more and more roads are in
general and not merely local use.
Two cities fifty miles apart are di-
rectly interested in every mile of
the roads that connect them. Those
roads are used more by people from
the cities than by the farmers who
live along them. Nor is road inter-
est confined to states. New York
and Philadelphia are keenly inter-
ested in the maintenance of the high
ways between them, though they are
in different states.
Roads must be regarded, then, as
the care in part of the nation and
in part of the states, of the coun-
ties, of the municipalities and per-
haps also Of individual property
owners. Each of these should con-
tribute certain proportion Of the
cost. The whole matter is a prob
lem Of supreme Importance; in eco
nomics, in engineering, in trans
portation, for the military establish
ment, for the postal service and, in
deed, for every department of gov
ernmental or popular activity. It is
encouraging to see that President
Harding is giving keen attention to
it. There are few subjects con-
nected with our material life more
urgent and more worthy.

College Rulers

The distant onlooker can sympa-
thize both with the Cornell sopho-
mores, who say that the "unwritten
law as to freshmen's caps must be
obeyed, and with those members of
the faculty who would not have re-
calcltrant freshmen hazed for their
dlsobedience. Trivial as the quarrel
appears, it must be important when
members of the faculty talk of re-
signing and the college paper looses
editorial thunderbolts, all on account
of the little gray caps.
There is conflict of laws in eyerv
college. The trustees, prexy and his
staff must, of course, be allowed to
have something to say about the con-
duct of the institution. AS the gov
ernlng body they cannot be wholly
disregarded in the life of the campus.
But the undergraduates draw up the
code OF manners, mostly unwritten.
often silly from the adult point of
view, but as vital to them as the
Constitution of the United States
probably more so. College "tradi-
tlons" may seem infantile stuff, but
they're awfully sacred at Cornell. or
Princeton, or Amherst or wherever
you will.
The Cornell boys are quite certain
to have their way. When Woodrow
Wilson was the autocrat of Prince
ton, as some said, he remarked that
he was not actually the president of
the university, although he passed
as such. The real president he said
he did not know, couldn't find out,
but it was some upper class man who
ruled the roost. This man, Mr.. Will
son guessed, was an insignificant
looking, "ornery" chap, but. whoever

No distinction in rank will mark
the graves of our soldiers in France
All alike died in the performance
Of their duty, and to all alike will
be shown the same consideration.
In life, regardless of rank, all
served as soldiers Of their country.
They were members of the brother
hood of arms. Officers and men
together faced the common dangers
of the front. And now officers and
men share the common resting
ground in France.
This is supremely in keeping
with Americas traditions. Our
army was the great democracy
called to fight the foe of freedom.
Officers shared with enlisted men
the discomforts and restraints Of
discipline, and subordinated them
selves so that the cause might more
easily triumph. They gave freely
one to another, and when the call
came to meet their rendezous with
death none held back, none even
hesitated.
To-day they rest in the soil Of
France, rhere their sacrifices will
ever bear fruit. Private. corporal.

The Hearst-H Hylan Tactics

To put every possible obstacle in
the way Of the new transit COM
mission, to delay its progress by
every trick and turn of court pro-
cedure, and meanwhile to shout
daily "Grabv' "Steal!" "Fare
Raise!" in the largest type avail
able--such is plainly the traction
policy of the Hearst-Hylan bund.
1t is true to type. 1t is just as
destructive as the consistent Hylan
policy of wrecking the existing
roads and crying "Bussesw where
there are none andnone are wanted.
1t substitutes exclamation points for
facts and condemnatory adjectives
for constructive plan. Under the
law as it stands there can be no
grab or steal, and a fare raise be-
comes a remote possibility, to be
resorted to only if absolutely ines
capable. There is, on the other
hand, fair and deliberate effort
to bring order out of chaos, to end
the present unutterable service
forced upon the city by the Hylan
rule and to give New York once
more traction service worthy Of
metropolis.
1t is good to know that, despite
the Hearst-Hylan tactics, the new
commission has taken office and got
to work. The constitutional objec-
tions can be tried out in due order.
Meantime, the welfare Of the city
is to prevail over the political neces-
sites of Mr.. Hylan and his patron.

Drug Addicts' Fate
Bill Denying Them Physicians Care
a Death Warrant


10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial "Save the Drug
ADDICT" in yesterdays Tribune was
splendid. 1t was most timely and con-
tanned facts about which the public
should be informed. If Governor Mil
Ter signs the Smith Fearon bill he signs
the death warrant Of thousands of
worthy addcts in New York State
II that act becomes law, the addict
is simply wiped out. He will be denied
the care of his physician. He will be
incarcerated as a pariah, or he will
commit suicide if he cannot obtain the
drug of his physiological need from the
underworld, to which he must turn. All
this because certain group of physi-
clans don't want to be bothered writing
prescriptions for opiates on official
blanks.
What have these law abiding citizens
done to deserve such treatment? They
ask only the simple opportunity to live.
and if possible do their days work for
those dependent on them. And how is
the addict with cancer or other incur
able disease to have his pain eased :?
They are addicts and must suffer! The
law Permits morphine and cocaine
without any check as long as the an
noying "addict" is denied. How about
a wholesale crop of new addicts?

strengthened Deutschtum they will
remain as enemies in our midst.
There is room for but one loyalty in
this country.


Outplayed and outlasted by his
younger opponent, DR.. Emanuel Las
ker has quit the field and acknowl-
edged Jose Capablanca as the chess
champion Of the world. The result
was not unexpected. Capablanca had
not only superlative skill, but energy,
the unbounded confidence Of youth
and the stimulus Of encouragement
from host Of admiring supporters
in his home town Of Havana. DR..
Lasker had the climate to contend
with and his own dependency. His
strength was on the wane, and he
knew it; he was, perhaps, not the
same Lasker who was unbeaten for
twenty-five years.
In tedious series of games Capa-
blanca simply wore his antagonist
out. There was not one spectacular
duel. There were no daring on
slaughts. The five games won out
right by the Cuban-ten being drawn
were decided by infinitesimal posi-
tional advantage obtained after long
hours Of attrition. Such is chess to-
day as played by the masters. 1t is
the kind the greatest genius Of all,
Paul Morphy, would be obliged to
play now.
New York can take local pride in
Capablanca's triumph. He partly de-
veloped his game here when stu
dent at Columbia, and on many
days his buoyant presence has en-
livened the Manhattan Chess Club.
That one Of Spanish blood should
be the supreme chess master is not
uniting. The inventor Of the most
famous of chess openings, which
Lasker used to his discontinue at
Havana, was invented by a Span
lard of the sixteenth century, Ruy
Lopez.

Clothing Europe S Children
Suggestions in Behalf Of the Red
Cross Undertaking

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l have read with much interest
the call of the New York chapter Of the
Red Cross for volunteers and materials
to make garments for two million chill
dren in central Europe Also yester-
day l saw in the Sunday supplement
the very attractive and stylish little
suits and costumes remodeled from
used materials.
Outer garments, made over. have
several years wear in them. also
trousers and dresses made from serge
or other woolen material, but it is
really wiser, if the experience Of
mother of many and the grandmother
of more is worth anything to MAKE
most of the clothing for the cold and
ragged children of Europe Of new and
stout materials - underwear Of un-
bleached muslin, outing flannel or cot
ton flannel, and dresses and bouses Of
apron gingham, one of the most dur
able and unfadable OF goods. Also
it is suggested in the making OF these
clothes to use the simplest of patterna
1t requires such a bewildering num-
ber of clothes and the constant labor
of both seamstress and laundress 10
keep children in light and dainty sp-
parel that it surely is better to buy
one pair of shoes less, five hats instead
of SIX, eleven dresses instead O.
twelve, and to put the money thus saved
into new material for the work OF the
Red Cross, especially as the garments
made at this time and during the sum-
mer are for wear next fall and winter,
with the exception of the layettes.
These suggestions are made with no
thought Of taking the Joy out Of lii''
for earnest workers, but only to tur-
ther the splendid work OF the ksd
Cross in its latest and truly gigantic
undertaking of the manufacture o.
millions of garments for the ragged
and shivering children of our far-a~sy
neighbors across the Atlantic.

Scotched, Not Killed

The dictionary defines the German
word Deutschtum as follows: Ger
man nationality; German manners
(pD; German patriotis1a." In the
interest Of this Deutschtun. the
United German Societies Of New
York met on Monday night to see
motion pictures of Ireland and to
hear addresses by such distinguished
Americans as DR.. Popke, prominent
at the Sinn-Rhine meeting, and Mr..
Bernard Ridder, president of our
contemporary the New Yorker
Staats-Zeitung.
After deciding to resume their
meetings regularly in the future,
some interesting remarks were made
about the teaching Of German in our
schools. All parents, said the speak
er, should be urged to perpetuate the
German language, German customs
and German manners through their
children, as the mother tongue was
the most valuable legacy that had
been brought from the Fatherland.
Then Mr.. Ridder took up the polit
ical situation and accused the Amer
lean press of being subservient to
the Allies. In the same way that the
Germans at the Garden meeting
called American disturbers "English
dogs" and demanded to know how
much had been paid them by the
British government, Mr. Ridder re-
ferred to Colonel Galbraith, of the
American Legion, as the ''leader of
the English propaganda" He men,
toned the ire of DR.. Won Mach
toward School Superintendent Ettin-
ger because the latter allowed Cen
eral Pershing's speech to be read in
the schools.
"1n conclusion" says Mr.. Riders
own paper, "the speaker wished the
United German Societies further
growth, prosperity and success.
which was sure to come with the ex-
pected increase Of German immigra-
tion. With such renewed strength
and with proper recognition of it's
growing tasks, the society would be
able to do much toward the solution
Of the problems of the future, and
could perform even greater services
for Deutschtalm than was possible in
the past"
The snake is only scotched. It is
the old story of Germany first. No
thought is given to America, no love
is shown for the United States. 1t
is deutschland, Deutschland iiber
Alles," and anything anti German is
the result of English gold or French
imperialism" That an American
with no affiliations with Europe for
generations can hold an opinion of
his own is to them inconceivable.
So long as they think in terms of
Europe they will not become Ameri-
cans. So long as they look back to
the Fatherland and ahead to a
