says that 1.-THE basic consideration
(of army appointments) is not the
propriety of the individuals opinion
but his loyalty to the United States"
Then, according to this startling
statement Fritz -Kuhn,- the Bund
chief, who declared over and over his
loyalty to the United States, is ELI
gible to an army commission.
Now. communism is and has been
for 25 years the sworn enemy of the
institutions of this country.
So much so that a court has ruled
that to call man Communist is
actionable.
THIS order of the war department
Il is in itself an act of "disloyalty"
to the United States.
Thus we are not only "appeas-
ing" Russia in the most obsequious
manner but we through war de.
partment ukase have put the seal of
legitimacy on an organization and
men that are as great enemies OF the
republic as nazism.
The growing boldness of the pro-
Reds in America is instanced again
by the clash between Quentin Reyn-
olds-White House pet and a show
off left-wing foreign correspondent
and former ambassador to Ger
many, James w. Gerard, at dinner
in New York the other day.
After Mr.. Gerard as an old
American had asked the diners to
"attack and defeat communism" and
had pointed out the dangers of
Americans becoming "serfs of a
bureaucratic state" Reynolds asked
Mr.. Gerard what is wrong with
communism"
1t is time that Congress not only
demanded the meaning of the war
department s directive abolishing
any distinction between Communists
and Americans in the U. S. army but
it should investigate all non military
secret" orders.

TO THE EDITOR:

on Detroit's transportation prob

transportation program as we'll
as its value to the future of the
city.
Your review of the transpor-
tation plan recently prepared by
the best transportation engi-
-nccrs should convince Detroit
that it is time to accept some
specific plan and start putting it
into effect. Although the pro-
posed plan may not be accepted
in its entirety, it is fundamen-
tally sound.
The plan calls for a large eX-
penditure over a 12-year period.
Other cities have been able to
finance a real transportation
system. l believe that Detroit
will be able to finance a good
transportation system over the
period specified.
If Detroit is 10 maintain its

HUGHES-When the Russians were
crushed by the czars, vast numbers OF the
people Of high and low estate were put to
death or crowded into prisons. From the
time when the Bolshevik rebellion began,
Russians have put Russians to death or
crowded them into prisons in vast multi
tudes.
According TO William Henry Cham
berlain, tUho spent I3 years in Russia,
the so-caiied agricultural reforms Were
put oUer at the cost of an ARTIFICIAL
famine that caused AT LEAST THREE
MILLION RUSSIAN CITIZENS, MEN,
WOMEN AND CHILDREN, TO DIE OF
STARVATION.
Millions of Russians are at, this mo-
ment in CONCENTRATION OR FORCED
LABOR CAMPS because of their hostility
TO the government.
We have ferocious political quarrels,
but concentration camps are unheard Of.
At the famous Moscow trials great
number of the most eminent political,
military and judicial figures in the Rus
sian revolution were put to death by other
reYolutionists. .--
In Japan there were wholesale assas-
sinations of political figures.
In most of the countries Of Europe
except Great Britain, executions are now
going on at a fierce rate
Yet in the Whole history of the
United States, in the entire 40 years
since our Revolutionary War broke out,
there has neUer been one man put to
death for a POLITICAL REASON.
THERE are many nowadays who tell
L us that our Republic is terrible mis-
take and its outmoded ways should be
abandoned. They tell us that we are re-
dictionary and unprogressive in clnging
to principles already more than a century
and half old
BUT THE AMERICAN IDEA IS THE
NEWEST THING IN HISTORY. IT
CREATED SOMETHING NEVER
HEARD OF BEFORE. TT HAS sue
CEEDED AS NO OTHER POLITICAL
IDEA HAS IN ALL HUMAN CHRON-
ICLE.
Today we stand at a crossroads.
Powerful and eloquent writer's and orators
urge us to abandon the ways Of our
fathers, leave the grand highway Of our
destiny and turn aside long untraveled
roads, or roads to ruin Travelled by all the
dead republics
They dare to offer us these BRIBES
TO TREASON AND UNREASON AT
THE VERY APEX OF OUR GLORY.
Our United States has been the sal
Udtion of the British Empire, the Soviet
Republic, the French Empire, the Dutch
and Belgian and Chinese peoples

are, we cannot enough admire the incom-
parable patience and fidelity of the

THEY did not mutiny, they did not dis

OUR British colleagues in the

scooped our boys on a number
of important stories both in tho
field and on the diplomatic
front in the course of the last
year.
To any one who worked
among our British brethren a
quarter of a century ago or be-
fore. it is apparent that they
have stepped up their methods
and pace.
This is a compliment 10 our
set because they learned it all
from us.
1t was the American re-
porter who taught them speed
in delivery and punch in prepa-
ration.
Our reporters had been using
the telegraph long before the

ton occurred TO Fleet Street.

IN THE midst of life and death
war to preserve our free anti
totalitarian institutions the war de-
partment has issued an astounding
directive that there shall no longer
be any distinction between Commu
nists and Americans either at home
or at the battle fronts.
The Washington Times. Herald
declares that that order was issued
OH Dec. 80, 1914.
That must be, like the importa
tion from Canada of Mrs. Browder,
secret order for this directive
of the war department, says an
ms disp atch from Washington,
"countermands SECRET instruc-
tions previously issued which barred
Communists from officer training
and 19 other army assignments"
Communist and non military
secrecy are both in themselves uf-
American.
THE story declares:
L "The directiUe states that no
prejudical action shall be taken on
the basis of membership in the Com
nunist party or allegiance to the
Communist party unless ii can be
proved such loyalty supersedes
loyalty to the United States"
Now, proof" isn't necessary
that allegiance to the Communist
party is an act Of disloyalty to the
United States.
One need go no farther than the
opinion mot delivered in secret)
of New Deal Atty. Gen. Biddle on
May %, 1912, which says:
"The Communist party of the
United States of America from the
time Of its inception in 1919 to the
present time is an organization that
believes in, advises, advocates and
teaches the oUerthrow by force and

Mushrooms
a la King

Comes day when the butchers
tceboxes are stripped and your red
points are at lowest ebb; when you
can't face another concoction of eggs
and you're tired of fish-then turn to
the helpful mushroom and make
yourself a nice little plateful of
mushrooms a la king.
Cut up some nice crisp celery into
small pieces and stew them until
they are just soft. Boil three eggs
until they are hard. Shell them and
slice them as thinly as possible.
Brush the caps of young mush-
rooms-if they are large and tough
you had better peel them and re-
move the stems. Cut the mush-
rooms into neat pieces and saute
them with any tender bits of stem
in a little butter until they are
brown. Then thicken with a bit of
flour.
Now stir in, slowly, about two cups
of rich milk and season well with
salt, pepper and a bit of paprika
or cayenne. When the mixture gets
smooth and comes just to a boil,
add the celery and the eggs and
if you like, a quarter cupful of sliced
ripe olives. Heat the mixture
through, but do not let it boil again
and just before serving, flavor with
dash of sherry.
You can pour the king" over
slices of crisp toast, serve it in patty
shells or in rice ring-all equally
good,
