No other’state at war with Ger- many has had to contend with such a conflicting condition. because _no other state are the ‘rights of citizenship granted to ‘aliens prior to-complete naturaliza -| tion. Nevertheless other states at) wer with Germany have found it! expedient, to revise their laws with | respect to the naturalizatior, of Ger- | ‘man subjects. In England an act of | 1914 authorized the cancellation of certificates of naturalization in the discretion of the Secretary of-State, in Canada there occurred .a com- plete revocation of naturalizatior ‘vith respect to Germans and Aus- tro-Hungarians applying to the pre- ‘ceding 15 years. These former German and Aus- tro-Hungarian subjects in Canada are now being dealt with as alien | enemies, but, in a strict Jegal view, | the Austro- Hungarians, if not the} _Germans, may be. said to have no} nationality, since at the: time they | in itheir former allegiance and can re. ‘sume it only by a return to Austria- Jiungary. With respect to the Germans, the case is different, owing the pe- culiar pan-German thedry of na- tionality which permits a German ‘subject to acquire, citizenship els¢- where while preserving his allegi- | |anee to Germany.

According to his statements he has about $29 coming for nine days’ work, but the company figures show he is indebted to them for 19 cents in excess of that amount. Clark declares he was brought to Bast St. Louis by promises of good employment and high wages and free transportation to the city. He was discharged after a week and a half, but when he applied for his pay was told the sum of $14.93 for railroad fare had been deducted. His com- plaint against the company is to be made the basis for an offiica) inves- tigation by the East St. Louis Cen- tral Trades and Labor Assembly, ac- cording to the president, M. J. Wha- len.

WAR OUR JOB, HE SAYS Sneaking Hope for Peace by Ne- gotiation Is One Obstacle to Victory. By WILLIAM H. TAFT. (By Courtesy of the Philadelphia Public Ledger.) PHILADELPHIA, March 8.—The other day in the Senate objection was made to a further draft because we had not the ships to send abroad. From a source close to the adminis- tration comes,the estimate that the greatest number of fighting men we shall have in France during the war will be 500,000. mean 1,000,000 or 1,250,000 in all; that is, fighting men and auxiliaries. Such a point of view and such an estimate should give us the greatest concern. They argue a failure to appreciate the real duty of the United States in this war. That duty was described in brave words by President Wilson in his earlier messages. He defined the only kind of victory we would be sat- isfied with, the only kind which would not be our defeat. Are we to depart from this purpose? Are we to be content with an’ inconclusive peace, or is our goal the same now as it was in January? Why Allies Welcomed Us. Why was our entrance into the war hailed with such delight by our allies? It was not because we could carry on a joint debate with the German and Austrian Chancellors. It was because of our declared pur- pose to wring rea! victory from the Fiohenzollern and his Potsdam gang and because we had the money, the food and other resources and the man-power to achieve that purpose. It was confidently and _ properly thought that we would use all the strength we had and by giving to the allies the predominance we thus could give them we would end the militarist domination of Germany. It was perfectly clear that we could not prepare for the exertion of full war power in a year. - Two and perhaps three years we needed for this. Our enormous capacity when fully employed, whether in the building of ships, the making of guns and ammunition or the train- ing of men, we can hardly measure. But we do know that if we begin now with the purpose of using that full capacity this war can only have one end. We should raise an army of not less than 5,000,000 men. Those whom we cannot send over now we can train fully on this side, for we can feed them -here with less effort and cost during their training pe- riod. When our ships are built we can then send men fit to go from the landing to the trenches. We can make their readiness for war syn- chronize with the additions to our transports. In the meantime, our experience and our defensive facili- ties against submarines will have reduced the loss of ships. If we thus make our preparations square with the possibilities of a three years’ war, we shall grow stronger than Germany by arithmetical progres- sion. Says Wo Must Win This Fight. In the outset the danger was of a loss of morale by our allies and of a German victory before we could. get into the fight. That danger seems to have passed. The deadlock on the western front bids fair to continue until we can greatly predominate in man power. The quicker we act on this view the speedier and more cér- tain our victory. The evidence of our pushes in our preparations will, in itself, stimulate our allies and dis- courage our enemies. The draft act must be amended to carry out such preparations. The nation and the world must be told what is to be done. Our people must give up the notion that somebody else is to fight this war for us. It is our job. It should call out all that American en- ergy of which we hear so much in speeches, which we now have great opportunity to prove The one obstacle in our pursuing this certain course to victory is the benumbing effect of a sneaking hope among our people that we can satis- factorily end the war by negotiations with Germany and Austria. Support has been lent to such a false impres- sion by the trend of our continued discussion with the Central Powers. The action of Germany and Austria toward Russia should at once and for all time bring this to a close. The spirit of world conquest still clearly controls their policy. Their lust for territory and dominion shows in their every step. The fate of Fin- land, Lithuania, Esthonia, Poland, the Ukraine and the Bolshevik! and of what is left of Russia is damning proof of the hypocrisy of Germany. Their control over Russia, acquired by the peaceful but treacherous dis, integration of an ignorant army led by dreaming fools; is now attributed by the Kaiser jointly to the German arms and God. Are enemies like these to be treat- ed as worthy to propose terms of an honorable and just peace? Can we be content to rely on their good faith to preserve it? No; we must gird on our armor. We must face a long war. We must measure our prepara- tion by our capacity. Only in this way can we do the work which fate has cut out for us. “Whe shall place a limit to the giant’se unchained etrength or curb bis swiftness in the forward race?” ‘ |PRIVATE HITCH ENLISTED WERE) vere Man Severely Wounded in Toul Seo- tor Formerly a Cattlo Buyer.

This regiment, one ef the first four to arrive in France, had been billeted in a village which, to give it @ name the censor won't disap- prove, I'll call it Mudwille. In and about Mudville it spent the summer, learning all the French can teach about up-to-date warfare. Toward the end of October it went to finish- ing school in =the trenches, sand- wiched in among French _ troops. Thence, after the stipulated period of front-line instr uction, it returned to Mudville, there to remain, in_a state of feverish expectancy, until along about the first of the year. Then things began to move. Bulky ‘automobiles, containing bulky Gen- erals with critical eyes, stopped at regimental héadquarters almost dai- ly. New officers took the places of old ones’ not quite big enough for their jobs. Companies were brought up to full-strength by drafts from the replacement division, and the regiment's “veterans” were expected to show these rookies of the Na- tional Guard and the National Army what was what. Brigade and divi- sion maneuvers on an imposing scale were carried out with increasing fre- quency. Kits were inspected with closest attention to every detail, new ‘uniforms and equipment were doled out liberally, and teeth and feet be- came matters of keen curiosity to of- ficers. Finally, toward the middle of Jan- uary, the news spread that’ the day was close at hand. In the words of ; one doughboy,-reported to me by the brigade commander by whom they were overheard:, ‘“‘We'’re about ready to leave off teaching officers and be- gin fightin’ them blankety blank ‘Bushes.’’’ The business of packing up followed. Bayonets were sharp- ened with gleeful zeat,. fond wells exchanged: with “petite aimes”’ of Mudville, and local shops and company stores were emptied of all the candy and other luxuries they contained. Orders Withheld to the Last. Not until the night before did or- ders from the brigade stating the day and hour of departure and the route to: be taken reach the Colonel. Battalion and company commanders had. put everything: in. readiness for the hike; however, and there was no delay in carrying. out instructions. Promptly at“7:30 a. m. on Jan: 15, the regiment was drawn up in com- pany formation in the company streets, and just half an hour later, following a\brief final inspection by the C. O., it got under way. y LINCOLN EYRE, wrespondent of the Post- woh and New York Work. m THE AMERICAN ARMY saNCE, Feb. 15.—In Paris not ag’ I-saw a film depicting a pnt of infantry marching down nue on its way to ‘a train- Flags were flying, bands misying, crowds were cheering he peun was shining. ‘aw days later I saw a regiment Santry marching down a coun- ed in France on its way to the * No film was made of this ° , nor were flags flying, bands , crowds cheering or the sun Lot of ig Girls’ 10es style—patent il with eloth lent wearing izes 5 to 5% ke spectacle shown on the Swi all its colorful drama : athe ‘was simply New York's lto a few of the tens of is of soldiers she has given ‘country, while the event I wit- ‘ Y out here ig a momentous r irt American history.

A Mudville patrician stood nearby. I asked. him What he thought of “‘les Americaines.”’ “They have become real soldiers, these big boys.”’ he observed. “One couldn’t have found a worse day for this business in the last 25 years, yet they make nothing of it.” The old Frenchman's pride in the regiment he had come to Know s0 well led him to exaggerate a bit. The doughboys didn’t ‘‘make nothing” of the weather; in fact, they made con- siderable of it in the cussing line. The becalmed mariner, the passen- ger in the snowbound train, the mar caught in the rain with a new silk hat could all take tessons from the —. —-th infantry in the science of swearing at the weather. But the hike had to be made, and so, ‘after the regimental repertory of deroga- tory epithets—a long and compre- hensive one—had been run through a few times, abuse of the elements gave way to philosophical endurance. Hike Like Learning to Skate. It was a wonderful hike. Have you ever marched 10 or 15 miles with a 60-pound pack on your back and a riflé on your shoulder even under the best of weather condi- tions? If so, maybe you can form a faing conception of what the — -——th infantry went through on Jan. 15, 1918. If net, you won't be able to get even the glimmer of an idea of what it was like. Keeping step was impossible, of course, and there was only a bluff at maintaining columns of four. Every movement on the treacherous ice was as perilous as learnig to skate. In the first 5600 yards not a man except the mounted officers escaped a tumble and lots of them went down agatn and again. Yet it was rare for anyone to fall out, and stragglers were few. With it all, the progress made was re- markable, and the temper of the men—after the first outburst of cussing—admirable. Wagon trains and motor trucks had as bad a time of it as the men on foot, The mules were splendid, Sliding along in apparently haphaz- ard fashion they managed to hold up where a horse would have given up the struggle forthwith. The narrow- ness of the road increased the diffi- culties of navigation. I counted six four-mule teams in the ditches bor- dering the road in the first mile out of Mudville. Squads had to be de- tached fromthe companies to get them out and to gather up the sun- plies and’ hagsase strewn over the. lan Not’ many days before the nay ment had been brought up to its full war strength by drafts from the re- placement division - down in the ‘isle toutes of France.

I picked them out from among the séasoned troops by their headgear. They were the only men wearing the old cam- paign hat, officially- banished into the limbo/of: beloved tradition: The stack of new forage caps had been insufficient to supply the. needs of the new arrivals. At the end of the first hour’s marching, during a ten minute breathing spell, I discovered a fellow-New Yorker among the re cruits. “Ever hike as far as this before ? I asked. “Not unless it was in my sleep,’ he replied’ grimly. “But, say, thi ain’t hiking, it’s skating, and I'v. done plenty of that out in. Pelhan Bay Park.

If the ‘Bushes’ have any shrapnel that’s harder than this road they’re doin’ well.” I noticed this chap again a couple of hours later. He was at the tail end of his platoon, limping badly. An officer told him he could climb aboard one of the supply wagons if his feet hurt him. He just shook his head and kept on hiking. Three months ago he was selling men’s furnisbings in a. Sixth avenue depart- ment store. The officers without excepti: watched their men like a_ coll: watches the ewe lambs in a flock Most of the Captains and Majors go off their horses as soon as they wer outside Mudville and marched th rest of the way on foot. I saw on: of them offering his horse to ; badly winded private, and another despite a slightly sprained ankle, r« fused a lift in a passing staff car. Ienter a Hamict Smmging. The regiment reached a hamlet we'll call Dirtberg, that’s what it principally half past ten. They nine miles, more than half the day’s distance, in just two hours and a half. And they. came in singing! None of the new, much. plugged war ditties, but the doughboy" $s venerable battle hymn: “The infantry, the infantry with the dirt behind their ears, infantry, the infantry, can't get any beers, “The cavalry, the artillery and the lousy engineers, “Why, they couldn’t lick the infan- try in a hundred thousand years. : At the doors of the low, rakish cottages the inhabitants of Dirtberg silently watched the. long’ column struggle through the village, slip- ping and sliding, and coming down in heaps like a. scrimmage on .the 10-yard dine. -:Although there were ‘The they peasants seemed to know the- mean- ing of the march. “IIS “vont aux tranches,’ the whisper..ran.

French troops nowadays are moved about in motor trucks whenever the dis- tance to be traveled is more than twenty or thirty miles. Unfortunate- ly, our supply of trucks is not what it will be some day. We have just about enough in France to transport the stuff required to feed, clothe, house and munition our troops, The French and British have trucks in numbers sufficient to do that and carry hundreds of thousands of sol- diers at the same time. Cafe Lures Only Four. There is an alleged cafe in Dirt- berg, but only four men succumbed tc its temptations. All four of them were cooks. They fell out of, line n a body, stormed the cafe, gulped lown a quart of champagne and vere back in their places in the ‘ce of four minutes. - The adroit- ness with which they thus violated regulations camouflaged their mis- demeanor from their officers and they remained completely undetect- ed. Outsice of this quarter I don’t believe a single man in the regiment he? a drink all day long. There were some, however, who bitterly re- pented the redness of the wine they had imbibed the night before in cel- ebratiOn of their departure from Mvriville. I passed four or five of them doubled up by the side. of the road, giving an imitation of cross- ing the English channel in a choppy | be pitied | sea.

It was hastily de- ‘oured in the Roman style—that is, ‘eclining on the mixture of ice, snow nd mud that plastered the roadside iitches. Kverybody but the officers flopped on the ground as soon as the “Fall out” order was given, and lots of the officers looked ag if they wished they didn’t have to set an example of leadership and dignity by keeping on their . feet. The morale, which had never been low, began to climb to a lofty alti- tude after dinner. Singing became the United States Army, sumed. One of the companies was the principal butt of.the jesters. It is called the Foreign Legion, be- cause it numbers among its mem- bers doughboys of Italian, Portu- guese, Spanish, Chinese, Indian, both red and brown; Scandinavian, Hun- garian, Rumanian, Russian, Polish and South American parentage— some 20 nationalities in all. “Those guys ‘ll need a platoon of interpreters to tell ’em when to go’ one private loudly | over. the top,” proclaimed. “Say, you ought to have seen them this morning.” another re- joined.»"Fifteen of ’em stood at at- tention and saluted when the Cap- tain sneezed.” Three or four miles beyond Dirt- berg the road dipped down into a flooded area. gled through icy water up to their knees. “Come on in, the water’s fine,” the front ranks yelled, and “join the navy and see the world.” Din- | a patriotic soul exclaimed.

JOSEPH PULITZER. April 10, 1307. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. - When the Cripple Seeks a Job. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. “Many thanks to the editor of the Post- Dispatch for his editorial in Wednesday's edition regarding ‘‘Shall We Help or. Hin- Ger?” "We certainly have a grand Gov- ernment for taking especial interest in soldiers’ Who have returned from the front, maimed for life by warfare, in giving them an education and fitting them out in life for a voéation best adapted to them. But let us go a little further! There are quite a few yourlg men who have been maimed for life through various accidents in the city which places them in probably the same position as the maimed sokiler. Knowing his incapability for holding any kind of a position, he at once determines to educate himself for some vocation whereby he will be a credit to himself, hiv country, as well as home employer. En- thusecd,.he starts out in life to secure the position for which he has adapted himself, only to find that he is not wanted, irre- spective of his efficiency, and he is imme- diately. turned down without even being given a chance to show his capability, sim- ply because destiny compelled him to use @ crutch. Cannot some of our well-known and up- to-date business men condescend from their determination to secure girls instead of men and be sufficiently patriotic and give work to the deserving cripple who can serve the same position efficiently if given a chance, irrespective whether he lost x» member of his body through an ac- cident or fighting for Uncle Sam? Quitea few maimed young men are of military age, and would be more than willing to serve their country, if not handicapped by their affliction, and the average business men, as well as Uncle Sam himself, will turn a deaf ear to his pleading, and he is left alone to shift for himself, a complete- Is disheartened youth. As a married man, I do not only speak for myself, but for quite a few other young men who, though maimed, are just as capable in getting around as their more fortunate brothers, and in the name of bumuanity ask the various business men to set aside their prejudice against the crip- ples and give them a chance, and nihe out of ten will make good. So give them a chance, for they did not become cripples of their own volition, A. HOVORKA. A Striker’s Experience. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Your “Minimum Wage" editorial has been to me like a Godsend message in the most needed hour. I quote from you, “Such wages bring about conditions that result in the spread of tuberculosis and ' diseases due to malnutrition. They are a menace to the community. The workers are justified in organizing and demanding living wages. They are not only acting for themsélves in so doing, but for posterity and the country.” ““When I got through reading your edi- torial I asked myself, “Am I a criminal or will my name go down in the history of the country?” Iam a criminal because I had the courage to tell the boss why we strike. After the manager had spoken to about 300 employes I got up and told him that it is not a question of loyalty to the girls as they tried to put the question. ‘““Wages!”’ I cried out; “the girls cannot live on $6 or $7 a week.” ‘That is the crime that I have commit- ted. And wherever I apply for work I can- not get it. That stands against me like a biack mark. I am a pariah! I did not act for myself. I drew from $20 to $23 per week; I acted unselfishly. I for those who get $6 or $7 a week. They are not only acting for themselves in so doing, but for posterity and the coun- try. -I don’t know much about posterity, but I cannot get my job back; I cannot get work in any other store, retall or whole- sale; wherever I go they know me as soon _ gal mention striker. That is the reward I get for being in the fighting line. Will you help me clear up _ my sitvation, make it clear to the public, ~ Jet.them judge me through your judicious as opinion, and help me get work? I believe a vag I.am willing to work hard. a NATHAN MARCUS. 14104 ‘Cass avenue. ee Middle Names Out of Style. q | From the Columbus.

One hundred and thirteen strikers of both sexes, mostly girls, were arrested for parading without a permit, which had been refused by Secretary Findly of the Board of Public Service, on the recommendation of Chief of Police Young. The charges against these persons were dis- orderly conduct. The dismissal of the cases by the Police Judge indicates that there was no merit in the charges. The testimony of the police point- ed to the conclusion that the alleged disorder consisted in marching in groups on the sidewalk from store to store and to strikers’ headquar- ters, which is a legal right. The significant point is that the charge of dis- order upon which the arrests were made, caus- ing the greatest disturbance, was the direct result of a refusal of a permit to parade. In short, the public disturbance was caused by the attempted suppression of an orderly demonstration. It is the duty of the police to suppress disorder and to arrest all disorderly persons, but the worst possible policy is that of suppressing orderly dem- onstrations and interfering with personal rights, on the theory that disorder might arise from them. The police should act only when disorder occurs, or when mobs assemble, or there is imminent danger of disorderly mobs. The police should never interfere with the clear rights of persons or onstrations. Strikers, in common with all groups of citizens, have a right to meet and participate in demon- strations, so long as they obey the laws, refrain from violence and interference with the rights of others. Police suppression, except for viola- tions of law and order, invariably results in re- volt, disorder and violence. It fills the jails and clogs the courts to no purpose. The policy of free speech and orderly demon- stration should be sustained by the municipal authorities empowered to act. If it is given up to ill-advised police action we shall rapidly reap the harvest of violence which follows unwarranted suppressive measures. = = * —_— Se A news dispatch says: “As the Bulgarians live principally on bread, cheese and sour milk, they have little to complain about.” If that sort of diet eliminates complaint we might try it on some of our partisan kickers. = = * i i 2 THE MOST AMERICAN CITY. St. Louis as well as Cincinnati is still referred to frequently along with Milwaukee as one of the “German” cities of America, There was a time when the reference was justi- fied by the fa That, although the city re- mains the headquarters of many religious and settlers, it is no longer accurate is due to shift- ings in population typical of American cities. The large percentage of German residents re- sulting from the great inrush of German immi- grants just before and just after the Civil War has steadily declined because of decrease in those coming here from Germany and increase of native Americans coming from other sections of the Union. Figures compiled by the Chamber of Com- merce show that St. Louis has but 6.9 per cent of persons of German nativity and Cincinnati 7 per cent. The percentage in both cities is ex- ceeded by that in Chicago, Buffalo and Detroit. The Milwaukee percentage is 17. St. Louis is not only the least German of the large Western cities, but it is the most American of all the great centers of the United States. Its percentage of all foreign-born residents is only 18, while that of New York, Boston and Chicago is 85, that of Cleveland 34 and that of Detroit 33. The impression that it is largely dominated by influences having their origin in the German element is simply a survival of an idea that had some basis of truth in the time of our fathers and grandfathers. Most of the “Germans” we have are Americans. i, i, he —_— a a The Missouri hen is no longer sulking in her coop. She has lined her dug-out with straw and is prepared to give profiteers the merry cackle. See egg market quotatfons for further particulars. = = i i FROM PARTISAN TO INDEPENDENT. Observers of such matters have been greatly impressed with the progress in-all directions the rural press of Missouri has been making in the last decade. Typical of the newer point of view largely responsible for this development is the action of the owners of the Cape Girardeau Re- publican in changing the name of their publica- tion to the Cape Girardeau Southeast Missourian. Three brothers, George, Fred and Harry Nae- ter, have built this paper up from the humblest beginnings until it is one of the most influen- tial and prosperous town dailies in the State. In one respect they have adopted a policy to which the success of the Post-Dispatch in St. Louis and the Star and Times in Kansas City are popularly attributed. That is, they have given public service first place in their activities. As they worked for the expansion of their community other organizations founded by early German/a der the influence of no party or class, will be in a better position to do its part and truly repre- sent the greatest town in the greatest State in the Mississippi Valley.” = = —-—~S |S PROHIBITION PARTY’S WIND-UP As a consequence of the national Socialist gath- ering in St. Louis last April, of which Morris Hill- quit, later nominee of his party for Mayor of New York, was temporary chairman and which adopted an anti-war platform, several attached and unattached groups of political thought met in Chicago in the following October to form a new party. The chief initiative was taken by Socialists in violent protest against the St. Louis declaration, later approved in a party referendum vote. How- ever, the representatives of a number of other groups were enthusiastic participants. A remnant of the Progressives, whose main col- umn had been shepherded back into the G. O. P. by Col. Roosevelt and Mr. Perkins, joined. Single Taxérs, who had previously confined themselves to academic propaganda, thought it a good time for practical political action and sent delegates. The country was startled by a report that a num- ber of powerful Prohibition leaders had also par- ticipated in the movement, prohibition and So- cialism having previously been regarded as hope- lessly incompatible and irreconcilable. The merger organization of incongruous ele- ments and principles took the name of the Na- maintain their own organization, as they have for the past half-century, or whether they should dis- solve and unite permanently with the new Na- tionalists has since been the principal issue of discussion in the party. A national Prohibition convention at Chicago decided after two days’ deBate this week not to dissolve, but only be- cause of the necessity for a two-thirds vote. A majority favored the plan, most of whom, in- cluding the national chairman, will act in the future with the Nationalists. Nearly a dozen of the state Prohibition organizations will disband and affiliate with the Nationals. The fluctuating Prohibition vote in recent years has never equaled its strength in 1892, which was 264,000. In 1916 it was only 221,000. If, as its leaders confidently assert, we are now~on the eve of nation-wide prohibition, with very little aid from the Prohibition party as such, its wind-up can be delayed only a few months at the most. What better fate for it than a coalition with some new party or one of the old parties? After all its 50 years of existence it can add little to the prospects of any party. i, Ap. de a PAGE JUDGE DYER. An Austrian saloon keeper, in this country 14 years, but who had to testify through an inter- preter, was found guilty by a jury of having in- terfered with the draft, in that he threatened the life of a man who, being eligible for the army, said he was going to enlist to avoid conscription. The maximum penalty for the offense of which the Austrian was convicted is 20 years in prison, fine of $10,000, or both. Judge Pollock, who is “sitting in” this Federal district, to help clean up a clogged calendar, fined the prisoner $50 and gave him 20 days to pay! Boy, page Judge Dyer! s+ &.& ~~ eS NEED OF SKILLED GARDENERS. In his address on Thrift Gardens, Dr. George T- Moore of the Missouri Botanical Garden empha- sized the need of knowledge and experience in gardening, if the time and labor expended are not to be wasted. He said: Gardening is a profession, and it takes all the theory and all the exp@é@rience that can be acquired to make a success of the busi- ness, Are we entrusting our munition mak- ing or shipbuilding to inexperienced volun- teers, who, because of their desire to do something, seek a visible evidence of help- ing to win the war? The importance of food, moré food, and yet more food is constantly being impressed upon us. The fundamental necessity of increasing and conserving the supply is daily reiterated, and yet we are planning to leave at least the vegetable side of the question to a group of enthusiastic but, for the most part, incom- petent, if not ignorant, volunteers. With gardening, as with farming, we cannot expect to increase production if the task is left to unskilled, inexperienced persons.’ Neither en- thusiasm nor physical strength can take the place of the work of the skilled gardener. What is the Government doing to insure the country against a depletion of men skilled in gardening? The farms have been stripped of thousands of experienced young men. Are the skilled, experienced gardeners also to be taken? = = — Se We are asked to send to the Library War Serv- ice all books for which we have no further use. How would pocketbooks do? > & &. 7-~ Fr THE VALUE OF IDEAS. Most of us believe, at least in our dreams, that true happiness and all ambitions may be had by great wealth. Great wealth is often born of an idea and then executed through the brain. The simpler the idea sometimes the greater the wealth. Ideas know no race, no color nor sta- tion in life. They live today and die tomorrow, or become almost perpetual in their development. Take, for instance, the idea born in the brain of Mrs. Sarah J. Walker, a negress, who, in telling her story to a Post-Dispatch reporter, said that their own business naturally expanded. | Now they have adopted another great policy up- | on which modern journalistic success is depend- ent. They have freed their paper from the shackles of political partisanship. Reserving liberty of opin- jon in political matters, they also reserve the right to support for public office the best men of all parties and to condemn the unfit men oO: every party. Their announcement of the rea- sons for this change, as printed in the Southeast Missourian issue of March 1, is worthy of the’ careful attention of all editors, whether of the city or the country. In view of the enlightened attitude the pub- lishers have taken towards public matters, it is to be hoped they will realize to the full the ex- pectations thus expressed: “We take a Igok into the future and see stil! greater op ties. The Cape Girardeau occ SMR, she was left a widow at the age of 20 with a daughter to support. She went to the washtub in St. Louis for $1.50 a day. Then she had an idea—dreamed of it, she says, for three nights in succession. That idea born to a brain acting in sleep gave her a formula for straightening out kinks in the hair of her race. She started with $1.50 capital and today is quoted by herself as being in the millionaire class. She has just bought a residence that will cost her $250,000 at Irvington-on-the-Hudson, N. Y., a half-mile from the place built by Jay Gould and now occupied by the financier’s daughter and her husband, the Finley J. Shepards. Was it the dream or was it the idea behind the | dream that has brought’ this negress from the washtub to affluence in 30 years? The idea caused the dreany.

That is all a pessimist is given to see. It is what the pessim- ists féresaw for the Panama Canal. Probably they have acted in that capacity from the beginning of time, opposing every step that progress has made. The way to look at the Mississippi River is, in our opinion, to forget all about what happened in 1856, or how much money has been spent on it in the last 25 years, and think solely of what we are going to make it. Mr. Frear, of course, cannot do that, but a majority of the committee on rivers and harbors hap- pily can.

In the rouse Theater the great revolvin stage makes hardt is enabled to present Shak- speare, a great favorite in Germany, in a most picturesque manner. He mapages to lend even to the most solemn tragedy littlé touches that add greatly to the interest and keep the attention fixed. For instance, in his production of “Macbeth,” when Lady Macbeth comes in, in the sleep-walking scene, rubbing her hands and saying, “‘what, will these hands ne'er be clean?” the actress taking this part in Berlin gave a very distinct and loud snore be- tween every three or four. words, thus most effectively reminding the audience that she was asleep. A Taste for Tragical Plays. As the war continued the taste of the Germans turned to somber, tragical and almost sinister plays. Only a death on the stage seemed to bring a ray of animation to the stolid bovine faces of the audience. In my last winter in Berlin the hit of the season was “Erdgeist,”’ a. play by Wedekind, which as Awakening” was given in New York in the spring of 1917, and horrified and disgusted the most hardened Broadway theatergoers. The prin- cipal female role was played by a Serbian actress, Marie Orska—very much oh the type of Nazimova. In this play, presented to crowded audi- ences, only one of.the four acts was without a death. Another, favorite during wartime played at Reinhardt’s theater, was “Marie Magdalene.” The characters were the father, mother, son and daughter of a German family in a small town and two young men in love with the daughter. In the first act the pdlice arrest the son for theft, giving the mother such a shock that she dies of apoplexy on the stage. In the second act, the two lovers have a duel and one, is killed. In the third act, the surviving lover commits sul- cide, and, in the fourth act, the daughter jumps down the well. The poe cr OR leaving only the old mah and the cat alive, and the im- pression is given that if the curtain yrére ten seconds later either the cat would get the old man or the old man would get the cat! was given in two theaters during each winter of the war. All of Ibsen's dramas played to crowded houses. Reinhardt, during the last winter I was in Berlin, produced Strindberg’s “Ghost Sonata” in quite a wonder- ful way. The play was horrible and gruesome enough, but as produced by him it gave.a strong man nightmare for,days afterward. Spirit of the Grotesque. The German soul, indeed, seems to turn. not toward light and gay and graceful things, but toward blood- shed and gruesomeness, ghosts and mystery—effect doubtless of the long, dark, bitter nights and gray days that overshadow these northern mT think the only time I Idst my temper in Germany was when a prtanns AP reasonable and polite gen- tleman from the Foreign Office, sit- ting by myMesk one day, in 1916, re- |marked how splendid it was that Germany had nearly 2,000,000 pris- oners of war and that these would go back to their homes imbued with an peaewey admiration of German Kultur alice = ed that the change of scene easy so that Rein-, “Spring's ' The mysterious piry of Peer Gynt} j@én and forced to work as BP WANS 10 THE GREWSOME IN ITS "PLEASURES slaves in factories and mines and on farms would go back to their homes with such a hatred of all things German that it would not be safe for Ger- mans to travel in countries from which these prisoners came, that other nations had their own Kultur with which they were perfectly satis- fied and which they did not wish to change for any made-in-Germany brand! . ERTAIN Germans have prated much of German “Kultur,” have boasted of imposing this ; “Kultur” on the world by force of arms. What is this German “Kul- tur?” A certain efficiency of gov- ernment obtained by keeping the ma- jority of the people out of all voice in governmental affairs; a certain low cost of manufactured products or of carrying charges in the shipping trades. made possible by enslaving the workmen who toil long hours for small wages; a certain superiority in chemical production bécause traine1 chemists, willing to work at one semi-mechanical task, can be hired for less than a Fifth avenue butler is paid in America, and a certain pre- eminence in Military affairs reached by subjecting the mags of the people to the brutal, boorish noncommis- sioned officers and the galling yoke of a militaristic system. Culture of German Jews. F Substract the German Jews and in the lines of réal culture there would be little of the real thing left in Ger- many. Gutman, Bleichroeder, Von Swabach, Friedlander-Fuld, Rathe- nau, Simon, Warburg in finance; Barchardt and others in surgery, and almost the whole medical profession; the Meyers, the Ehrlichs, Bamberger, Hiugo Schiff, Newburger, Bertheim, Paul Jacobson, in chemistry and re- search; Mendelssohn, Wagner. etc., in music; Harden, Theodor Wolf, Georg Bernhard and Professor Stein in journalism. But why continue? About the only men not Jews prominent in the intel- oe artistic, financial, or com- tors of the Lutheran Churches. And the Jews have won their way to the front in almost a generation. Still refused commissions in the standing army (except for about 114 siftce the war), still compelled to renounce their religion before being eligible for nobility or a court function, still practically excluded from university professorships, considered socially inferior, the Jews of Germany until a few years ago lived under restric- tions that had survived from the Middle Ages. They were not allowed to bear Christian names. The marri- ages of Jews and Christians Mvere forbidden, lands. They were not permitted to engage in agriculture and could not become members of the guilds or unions of handicraftsmen. When a Jew traveled he was com- pelled to pay a tax in each province through which he passed. Jews at- tending thé fair at Frankfort on the Oder were compelled to pay a head tax, and were admitted to Leipsic and Dresden on condition that they might be expelled at any time. Berlin Jews were compelled to buy annually a certain quantity of porcelain, de- risively called ‘“Jew's porcelain,” from the royal manufactory and to sell it abroad. ' When a Jew married he had to get permission and an impost was paid on each member of the family, while only one son could remain at home, and the others were forced to seek their fortunes abroad. The Jews could worship in their own way, in some states, provided they used only two small rooms and made no noise. The reproach that the Jew is not a producer, but is a mere middleman, taking a profit as goods pass from hand to hand, is handed down from the time when Jews were forbidden by law to become producers and, therefore, were compelled to become traders and middlemen, barred from the guilds and from engaging in the cultivation of the soil. | (To be continued tomorrow in the Post-Dispatch.) 4 Women in Japan Far Behind the Times way around the world fer Good Housekeeping to answer the question: “What are the women of other countries thinking and doing in these war times?’ She first vis- ited Japan and tells in the current issue some striking facts. regarding the women of the Flowery Kingdom.

In- deed, an injured man will probably receive better attention than he could secure at home, for many spe- cialists of national reputation, be- sides some of the best women nurses are serving as volunteers im _ the military hospitals. A careful system for handling the disabled has been worked out. Ifa soldier receives a wound in the trenches it is dressed at once from the first-aid kit, a small tin case which every man carries. Stretcher bearers or his comrades then assist him to the first-aid dressing station, usually a dygout and often within a hundred yards of the fighting line. A hammock stretcher has been de- vised for use in narrow, winding trenches. The medical officer at the first-aid station gives the wound @ more care- ful dressing, injects anti-tetanus in rum and telephones for an ambu- lance. The latter comes as close to the front as is possible, always a dangerous service, as German flyers : both ambulances and hospi- tals as fair targets for their bomba. The wounded mian is taken to the field hosptta], four or five miles to the rear, and his injury is inspected. If an operation is imperative, it is Fox 3 wmanenpptt but if the patient is strong enoygh, he is made comfort- Press. able and sent without delay to an evacuation hospital, eight or 10 miles from the front, and where American women nurses are on duty. If it is possible, every wounded soldier will be under the care of a woman nurse, | in a place of comparative quiet and | within 24 hours after his in- | safety, jury is received. , \ The evacuation hospitals are com- pletely equipped, having special wards for each different type of wound, and here the disabled man remains until he is convalescent, Waste Turned Into Steam. Py NUMBER of English manufac- turing plants are having excel- lent results in utilizing refuse as fuel to produce steam, special burners be- ing employed for the purpose, says Popular Mechanics. One textile mill obtains all the steam required to rut its machinery by burning shoddy waste. By using some of the steam to provide a forced draft the burning eapacity of the refuse can often be increased 60 per cent. Where the amount is small it supplies fuel for a water héater.
