The Changed De Valera.

Z AMONN De VALERA is reported again on
l. his way to the United States-this time to
solicit financial aid for the misguided men who are
in armed revolt against the authority of the free
state government.
Mr.. De Valera will have a rude awakening
when he again steps American soi-taking for
granted and there is no reason to think otherwise
that he is clever enough to eude u. S. immigra-
ton officials. He will find the sentiment of the
American people changed that he. will not be
considered hero and statesman but as fool
and meddler.
He here before as the recognized head
OF movement which represented the aspirations
of race. He proved able evangelist for the
cause of Irish liberty. Throughout America he was
helped substantially with money. With the war
he and his fellows fighting the majority OF
the American people ympathized-although not a
few were dubious of the possibility of success He
was accorded the dignity which would be granted
any man who represented the vast majority of the
people of ireland.
But now the fight has passed into other hands.
Other men represent the people of Ireland. Mr..
De valera represents only few malcontents fight
ing for hopeless cause. 1t is certain that no
American money will be allowed to 60 overseas to
keep men in arms against government of Irish
which, while it does not represent all the as
pirations of the Sim Fein, at least is long step
In advance OF anything the country ever has known
before. The cause OF the rebels s of course, hope
less. They hopelessly outnumbered and outgen-
eraled among their own people. They have little
more dignity than gangs of train robbers
The people of the United States sympathize
with all aspirations for liberty from oppression and
always have been found generous not only in ap-
pause but in money to those who fought 10
break the shackles of tyrants. But they do not
sympathize with irresponsible dealists who repre-
sent nobody but themselves
There is danger, however, that Mr.. De
Valera will find few Americans who do not ap-
preciate the true situation and will stage noisy
demonstrations in his honor. This will be unfortu-
nate since it will give him courage to keep up the
foolish fight he is waging against the best interests
of the new state
The former leader of the Sim Fein movement
is a of considerable ability and of estimablc
character. He has lost his head, however. His
reception in the United States should be chilly
enough to bring him to his senses. The Irish
Free State needs of his brains and honesty
it needs Mr.. De Valera restored to sanity. Money
contributed to him this trip might as we'll be
contributed to the bitterly anti-Irish faction
in England in Ulster. 1t is their cause he is
fighting for-not the of Ireland.

Regrets Letter.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Two days ago 1 noticed. while
serving papers for The Herald. an
article written by r. W. Shuffeldt
concerning a colored man who had
boarded a Mount Pleasant street car
and after numerous requests to a
white man to move over he was ut
terly disregarded ey the man who
occupied the seat
This man was coward, because
In refusing to move over he knew
that IL there was a fight he would
be well supported. since the car was
full of white people. Nevertheless.
other people might try to follow his
example and something serious
might result from an action like
this. Both my people and those OF
the white race do not wish another
riot. On the other hand. why try to
stir up strife, Mr.. Shuffeldt? How
ever, we do not need Kaiserism in
this land OF the free and the home
of the brave.
An article like that will have only
one result. It would cause a feeling
and would only renew that intense
hatred for each other between the
races. l know that fair-minded
people agree with me. Nothing can
be accomplished until prejudice is
dead. H. B. CH1NN.

A Voice Against Prohibition

perfectly honest. and good Ameri-
cans. too. don't agree with you.

Ware of Paci6sm.

IT HE War Department, it is reported. is
i alarmed the growth of Stacker" paci-
fist societies throughout the United States. Some
Of these, according to War Department officials,
secure promises of nonsupport in case of war from
their members.
Most of the people of the United States are
to a certain extent pac6sts. But there is de-
cided difference, which many seem unable to un-
derstand, between pacifism and "mollycoddleism."
Few desire the United States to take part in an
other war if it can be avoided. But most loyal
Americans would prefer that the country remain
in perpetual war rather than breed Of milk
sops,' frightened at the prospect of danger hard

Persons who lend aid to paciist movements
often do so without understanding thoroughly just
the purpose in view. Some of these societies ap-
pear innocent enough the surface Before join
ing one Of them it is essential that thorough ex-
animation OF principles be made. The United
States wants fighting race of men and women
even If there never is another occasion to fight.

The Monroe Doctrine.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Beng an admirer Of your inter-
esting and educational paper ask
small space in same to state the
ignorance of the great majority of
our people in regard to facts that
are supposed to be known to the
school children-but are not. Two
educated and well read men were
discussing the Monroe Doctrine"
and the general ability Of the Presi-
dents from Washington to Harding.
When one suddenly remarked to the
other: Il will make a wager with
you that 80 per cent of your friends
can not say-right off-who was
President at time of the War OF
1912: or of the Mexican war. or OF
the Spanish American war" He con-
tinued:
Il will further state that not one
person out of a thousand can give
the names and dates OF the Presi-
dents from Washington down to
Harding"
Is this probable?

Thinks Vox Populi Serious.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

10 the Euitor. Ihe washington Herald:
Harken, The Vox Populi (and in
cideatally the Vox sounds decidedly
feminine) speaks forcefully and en-
phatically on a subject which chal-
lenses the most careful attention OF
every clear-thinking patriotic Amer
ican. An outrage has been COM
mitted against our Constitution, law
and order have been fouted. in short
a green monkey at the Zoo has been
named Pousse Cafe. Anarchism and
Bolshevism have taken an import
ant step forward.
OF course, vox PopuIi may be
playing a joke on readers of the
Open Court or trying to arouse a
bit of excitement. But IL she is
playing a trick. I'll bite. / am
writing this on the assumption that
the Vox Is serious and sober. She
iflfers that a dangerous element in
this country. which is working for
the overthrow of the very sinews of
our government, is the cause OF
naming the green monkey Pousse
Cafe. Being deeply angered abou,
this she is taking up the matter
with the Anti-Saloon League. the
w. c. T. u. also with various Con-
gressmen with a view to having a
few laws passed by our National
Congress to changing the monkeys
name from Pousse Cafe to some-
Normalcy. 1t
would appear to me that our August
law-making body might have some
more important business in these
times of strikes and national un-
certainty than pioneering over the
name of a monkey green or other

danger 1T represents cannot be over
estimated. The fate of the world
may be said to depend on the fate
of the German mark. The food of
printing press money has burst all

because when credit becomes worth

almost all true. But the German ms

Hydrophobia and the Small
Dog.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
On several occasions ! have had
the opportunity to study hydro
phobia and have never allowed
them to pass. As we know, 1t is
a terrible malady and 1t is usually
caused by the person having been
bitten by a dog or other animal af-
fected with rabies. Dogs Of many
species, both ferine and domesti-
Gated, have been studied by me for
many years past, and / am familiar
with much that pertains to them. The
most dangerous dog with respect
to transmitting this disease. is the
well-known Spitz, a small, white.
shaggy animal. with an excitable
temperament that is liable-very
very liable, to become intensified
during the heated term of summer.
The common white poodle. a still
smaller species than the Spitz. also
belongs in this category, although
1t is not so subject to rabies
There have beep numerous cases
of hydrophob'a in Washington. at
different. times. and this is the sea-
son for it. 1t is also the season
for many small children to go
about the. streets barelegged, a Gus
tom indulged in by both boys and
girls In all grades Of society.
Now. in the case Of a small dog
at large, suffering with rabies. the
animal will instinctively snap at
anything that comes in its way-on
the sidewalks or on the street
before someone puts II out of harms
way. either by a bullet or q smart
blow on the head with club. In
the meantime the little bare-legged
children are In great danger as the
mad dog runs amuck among
them.
In passing through the afley. con-
meeting, Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets the other day. between New
ton and Monroe. q little bare--
legged girl and some other children
were coming my way. Just before
they passed me. young white

who. greatly alarmed. screamed and
dashed into a nearby yard.
Had that dog been rabid II would
certainly have fastened its teeth
into one of her little bare limbs,
and what would have constituted
the rest of the horrid history. need
not be pictured here.
This poodle had no muxsle on.
nor did II appear to be licensed.
and II would seem that to that
extent the law had not been COM
piled with by the owner, whoever
he may chance to be.
