King Georges Health.

Anxiety for the state of King
Georges health has been expressed
in dispa tches from London describing q
the attack of influenza from which he
has lately been suffering. 1t 10 natural
that keen concern should be felt when
the British sovereign is i'll. whatever
the cause. Influenza is prevalent at
present in England. and in a severe
form. The Kings ailinent appears to
be OF a type calculated to cause grave
uneasiness, and II Is not surprising
that his physicians have ordered him
to Pecuperate in a miider climate as
soon as he is able TO travel.
George V is now in his sixtieth year
Though not of an unusually sturdy
constitution, he has led a normally
healthy life. So far as known he has
been free from ailments OF q serious
nature. OF course, his health has been
guarded jeaiousiy. During the strain
OF the Great War his strength was de-
pleted by assiduous devotion to duty.
He labored diligently in every posi-
bic way that was open to one in his
position. He emerged from that severe
trial somewhat exhausted, and excep-
tional precautions were then taken to
restore him TO full health.
The present plan is that the King
will take a cruise in the Mediter-
ranean, doubtless eschewins all cere-
monies and obligations of Office and
rest. The mere fact that this unusual
step has been taken is an indication
that the attack from which the King
is now recovering has been of q dan
ee:ous nature. Universal hope is felt
that it will result in his full and
speedy restoration to health.

The Founder.

1t is a favorite endeavor on the part
of commentators on the character and
career of George Washington, the
193d anniversary of whose birth the
Nation observes today. to imagine
him in present-day conditions. This is
n futile and impossible undertaking.
George Washington was a man essen
TALLY OF his own period. He had pre-
eminently the qualities of leadership
required for that time, for that par
ticular task which became his to per
form, through circumstances not of
his making, but through qualifications
that were his priceless possessions,
George Washington was the man
of the hour" in 1916 and for the en-
suing two decades, when the republic
was in formation and organization. He
above all of his compatriots was
qualified to advise and to lead, and
when organization was effected and
independence was won to administer
national affairs. There was no dissent
from his choice as President. He had
rendered an extraordinary service as
commander in-chief of the Revolt
tionary Army. His faith, his ability,
his courage, his unfaltering devotion
brought victory. In administrative Of
flee he was seeing, wise, tolerant.
vigorous and judicial. He laid the
foundations of Government broadly
and strongly. AS history unfolds the
debt of the American people to him
grows greater than it appeared at the
time he rendered these services. Time
will not lessen but will rather mag
Nifty that debt.
But to place George Washington in
imagination in relation to present day
affairs is to take him out of the en-
vironment in which his great ability
was most needed and when it was
most effectively applied to the solution
OF the problems of the new republic.
1t is not assured that he would view
affairs today as he viewed them a
century and a half ago. 1t is not as
sured that his leadership would be so
unanimously followed, that his judg-
ment would be so generally respected.
And to suggest this is not to lessen
in any degree the high merit of the
man or the incalculable value of his
service.
AS the years pass the significance of
this day on which his birth is COM
memorated increases. George Wash
ington has become the ideal American
citizen. The glory of his name in
creases with time. The value of the
services he rendered is steadily more
highly appreciated. These annual OBJ
servances have their constructive
value and add to the strength of the
great structure built upon the foun-
dations which Washington laid.

The Guggenheim Gift.

Simon Guggenheim, former United
States Senator from Colorado, has
made noble addition to the record of
constructive benefactions. He and his
wife have given, as a memorial to
their son, who died while a student at
college, the sum of $4,000 900 as a pre-
liminary endowment for so fellowships
for International study. These fellow
ships will constitute an American sup
plement to the Cecil Rhodes scholar
ships, to which young American stu
dents are eligible. Under Mr.. Guggen-
helms plan American scholars older
than those admitted to the benefits of
the Rhodes endowment may go to Eu
rope for postgraduate and sabbatical-
leave studies. 1t is estimated that each
fellowship will have financial value
of about $1,000, although this amount
may be increased or decreased as the
individual need of the student re-
quires. The age limit is from 25 to 35
years. The period of study is basically
stated as one year, though, like the
financial allowance, this may be in
creased according to circumstances.
Indeed, the terms of the endowment
are unusually liberal and flexible
Mr.. Guggenheim's gift is inspired by
the desire to aid American students
and instructors of youth to extend
their studies. He believes that the
quality of education in America will
be improved thereby. He hopes that
international understanding will be
promoted, though there is no political
aspect to the benefaction. This gift
was inspired by Cecil Rhodes founda-
tion, which the present donor has
watched with interest during the q
years Of it's operation. He feels that
it has more than justified the vision of
its founder. He now wishes to supple
ment the Rhodes foundation by giving

mary" This indicates that the sum
to be devoted to this great educational
work will be increased as needs arise.
This is the latest of n series OF rich
gifts to the cause Of education during
a brief period. American men of wealth
have in increasing measure in recent
years been giving of their abundance
to this constructive work of education
and enlightenment. Some of them
have sought to promote the schooling
of the people of the more backward
sections, to reach the younger genera
ton Of limited means; others have
sought, as in Mr.. Gugsenfleim' case,
to promote post graduate study All
have contributed richly to the intel
lectual advancement of the country.

Reward of the World Flyers.

At this stage of the session bills
which have apparently been lost in the
shuttle are now and again brought
forth for consideration in one house or
the other, and in the absence of objec-
tion are passed. A great deal of busi-
ness is thus transacted despite the
congestion. For example. on Saturday
the House bill for the recognition and
reward of the world flyers was brought
before the Senate during the Muscle
Shoals debate and was passed, the
Senate eoncurring in the measure with
out amendment, thus assuring it's
enactment.
When the American airmen circled
the globe there was an immediate out
burst of praise and a demand that
their intrepid performance be recog-
nized in a substantial manner. That

approval and become law. By this act

of tires and tubes, automobile parts,
accessories and tools, bicycles and
motor cycles and supplies. wagons.
carts and trailers, and harness and
saddfery, as we'll as hundreds of
thousands of horses and mules. were
inNentoried under the heading of
transport equipment at more than
1882. 900 GOO.
In addition to locomotives a nd cars.
there were rails, frogs and switches
and other track material, locomotive
cranes, hoisting and conveying ma
chinery, railroad and dock equip
ment and other floating equipment.
We had, too, a goodly share of
surplus munitions. They included
guns and accessories, gun carriages
and caissons, rifles and pistols. am
nlunition, target supplies, gas masks,
flame throwers, hand grenaGes and
gas bombs. All this deadly machin-
cry of war stood the American tax
payers at more than $76,o00,e0O.
War Materials Not Needed.
OF these, France had no need
whatever. She was not in the
market for fine rifles or hand
grenades immediately after the war.
Most of the surplus supplies, how
ever, France needed sorely. The
american problem was to dispose of
the entire lot, and the authorities in
whose hands was placed the prob
lem wisely decided to sell the whole
accumulation in bulk. Thus France
acquired the good and the. bad to-
gether. the things she needed and
the things for which she had no use
whatever. And the United States
Government got the whole accumuia
tion off its hands at one transaction.
How 1t WAS done, in itself, an alb
sorbing story, will be left to 8, sub
sequent installment. The general
policy. however. was substantially as
follows:
Having ascertained by inventory
that the cost price of the surplus
materials ran to more than 81 700
00o. 600. the United States Liquidation
Commission, taking into consideration
all the circumstances. attempted to fix
fair value on the whole. 1t scaled
down each item. On clothing, for
instance, it fixed the fair value at
$50 600 900, or one-fourth less than
cost. 1t knocked one-third off the
cost of the railroad equipment; so
per cent off the cost of automobiles
and other transport equipment; 40
per cent off the cost of household
furniture. and so on.
The $76.000.000 store of munitions
it cut more than 95 per cent, fixing
S3, 000.000 as a fair value.
Cut Nearly in Half.
All told, the commission placed a
fair value of SS69, ZOO, 900 on the sup
piles, which had cost 81, ,7S9, ,e0e GOO
a "A per cent reduction. From that
it deducted 500, ,000. 900 as the fair
value of supplies needed for our own
forces or disposed of elsewhere. That
left a fair value of $749,000.e00 on
the supplies for sale to France.
And then, as further inducement,
faAat figure was cut another % per
kses1t, or to $562,230, 500. That was
the sum-nearly SO per cent below
cost which the commission named to
France as the price.
How France bargained viii be told
later Eventually she bought-at
another reduction. The point made
here la that these supplies sold at
e-ipe-aw.ay prices are included in the
present French debt, which many
personst believe should be Cancelled.

Urges Law to Stop
Alien Bootlegging
BY JOHN l.. LEWIS.
President OF the United Mine Workers
of America.


President OF the United Mine Workers
of America.
Right now. when there is widespread
unemployment in the United States, is a
good time to give thought to the
shameful business of 'bootlegging
aliens into this country from Canada
and Mexico. There would not be so
much unemployment among American
workers if IL were not for this CHASTITY
traffic in human beings. 1t is estimated
that fully 100000 alien laborers are
thus illegally imported into the United
States each year, and they almost in
variably are taken directly to the great
industrial centers. where they can
easily lose their identity while work
Ing in the mills and shops.
Thousands OF laboregs have been
sreaked into the United States and put
to work in coal mines, taking jobs
that rightfuIiy belong to good Ameri-
cans. 1t is merely another OF the law
less methods of certain hAg employers
to batter down the level Of wages of the
workers OF the country. These en-
ployers have put but one thought in
mind, and that Is dividends and profits,
and they can make larger profits by en-
pioying cheap alien labor in preference
to American labor.
What the United States needs is an
immigration law. rigidiy enforced, that
wouid keep out this undesirable class OF
laborers. II should be a law with teeth
in it and it should be enforced with all
OF the vigor and all of the resources of
the American Government. 1t Is q burn
ing shame for these employers to force
good American citizens to walk the
streets jebiess, while they illegally i'm
BORT aliens into the country by bootleg
methods to work for starvation wages.
Congress could do no better thing at
this moment than to enact a law that
would make it impossible for this thing
to continue and then make ample pro-
vision for the strict enforcement of
the exclusion law.
