Take the vote on selective conscrip- tion and observe it well, It will give you an exact census of the number of misrepresentatives we. have in both houses that belong to these classes. It 1s easy enough to say that there are questions about which there are honest differences of opinion and that in this country speech is free. No- body doubts or questions so much. .There are men in the world, very Uikely some in,, this ,country—very likely some in the: senate and shouse— that honestly and sincerely *betieve in autocracy. They do not believe in the democratic form of govern- ment. They think it is grand,to have a king and have, in times ‘when it, was. safe, declared (privately). that the German form of government was. as good as ours. These persons have a right to their opinions; nobody questions that. But they have no right to hold of- fice under the government they try to stiletto. They have no right to take the pay of: the country whose enemies they support. They have no right to sit in the councils of this country and use their position to be- tray the nation they have sworn to uphold. epoch of the volunteer system. Let them display ‘to’ ome another their il- limitable fgnorance about the Euro- pean war and its lessons. But let {the door be shut upon them, that they |play the fool nowhere but in their !own house. Therefore, take good notice of these {votes and mark the men that through many. Remember them all.

The British admiralty admits that 40 cargo ships of over 1600 tons each were sunk by German submarines last week, How many ships of less than 1600 tons were sunk, or how great was the total tonnage of ships sunk was not reported, The figures given and the solemn warning to the people of Great Bri- tain which was issued by ‘Lord Devon- port, the-food controller, at the same time, indicate that the submarine campaign is by no means a failure. ‘We violate no confidence when we say that officials in the highest places) in Washington have no illusions as to the grave possibilities involved in the increased activity and effective- ness of the German submarines. The success of the allied cause, which now is our cause as well, de- pends absolutely upon keeping Great Britain, France, Italy and Russia sup- plied with food and the raw materials for munitions, It is perfectly well recognized that if the Germans have been able to sink half a million tons of ships a month during the bad weather conditions of the. late. winter and early spring, -whieb-they probably have done, it is| guite.possible for them (o.sink a.mil- lion; fos a. mon _ during” the Aix months of: good “weather “now ‘begin- ning. A million tons of ships a month was the figure set by the Germans when they declared ruthless subma- rine warfare against the world. Because they did not achieve this |: yesult, at).once it {has been ‘assumed ‘by. those not: thoroughly: posted on itudtion \thet,.the German sub-/- ‘campaign was a failure. ‘eould be further from the Up" to now the submarines have been operating under the tiost ad | verse“ weather ‘conditions. 'There is probably a difference of between 50 and. 100 per cent in .the effectiveness of submarines in ‘bad weather and in good weather. And the fact is that no way has yet been found to fight the suomarines successfully. ' Without doubt many German sub- marines have been sunk or captured during the past three months. The it, If the Germans had a thousand sub- marines in commission when they made their momentous. decision to add America‘to their enemies, they probably have a great many more than that number now. The best information obtainable is that they have’ standardized subma- rine construction to the point where pidity which would have been consid- ered impossible before the war, One story, not authenticated, but very circumstantial, is that subma- rine hulls are being launched from German shipyards at the rate of 20 a week. Many of these are said to be devot- ed exclusively to minelaying. i Everybody respects a brave enemy; everybody would respect any of these bushwhackers if he would arise and say frankly that his convictions are on the side of Germany and he felt bound by his conscience to renounce » his American allegiance and throw “im his lot with the country of his love. But to pretend to be American and work covertly for Germany; to pro- fess loyalty and play the traitor is the trick that honest men cannot stomach, Some of the persons that oppose and try to thwart the government’s defense measure are of this class, some are playing a low order of poli- tics and some are just sodden in ig- norance. A nation involved in a tremendous war in which its very life may be at; stake cannot take any risks with any of these elements. Let them exercise the lungs where they will do no} harm. Let them blather away to themselves where they will not ad- vertise to the world that this is not a nation but a backwoods debating society. Let them flock by them-| “selves and advocate the volunteer There is not the slightest doubt but all of the ocean lanes leading to Great Britain, France and Italy ar? ‘being sown thick with deadly mines. We Americans upon whom new de- volves the feeding of our European allies and keeping them supplied with raw materials which are vita! to| @ them, could make no greater mistake than to underestimate the enormity and the dangers of our task. Assuming that the Germans do not suffer such. disaster on the western front this summer that they will be forced to make peace at the allies’ terms, it may very well happen that by fall the fate of the world will de- pend upon how many cargo. ships we can send safely through the sub- marine and mined zones that sur round Great Britain, France and Italy. ‘We must expect that a great many ships which start for the ports of our allies will be sunk either by torpe does or mines. We must be prepared to answer the German submarine challenge} with more ships, and then more ships, and yet more ships.

The Tribune: We desire to address a few lines to the men and women of our country; of all nations and all creeds. The times are here again to try men’s souls; the souls of men who love: liberty, and are willing to give their lives that men may be free from the rule of kings and despots. Father Barry, in the preface to his history of the papal monarchy, uses a quotation from Cicero, which was used by Pope Leo the XIII. “Above that the first law of history is never to say that which is not true; and the second never fear to say that which is true; least suspicion or hate or favor fall upon their statements.” Keep in mind the motto of the “Etern- al vigilance is the price of liberty.” It's a beautiful story we read in Geneses of our first parents in the . system, javelins, tomahawks, and the to the;-Eren-it-the-war-shonid:be: won. and coal and trafiied ‘sailors. : ™ Gardgn.of Eden. ..J But,the “probability that during .| by the priests. ‘When Gen. Haig tries to advance; Hudson and the Mississippi and north! all things let writers bear in mind; tion against others; for man was, in his early days, as he is today, a rob- ber, Tho next thing was to choose a chief, and this would be the strong- est. On the death of the chief an- other would be shosen,.and in time the chieftainship became. hereditary. After a tig’ small tribes combined for better tection against other tribes. pet was to surround the chief with a*haje of superstition, and in time it was xuetomary to believe that the chief, or king, had some con- nection with, a supernatural power; in fact, that he came from a god. The belief became general in ‘Egypt that the first) rylers were real gods, and this belief, in 2 modified form, continued as long as the Egyptian pharaohs. The same can be traced all through the ancient nations of As- syria, the Babylon. The soldiers of Alexander the Great were made to believe that he was the son of a god. When governments became estab- lished and rulers secure in power, the strongest of the warriors were given the title of nobility, and as lands be- came cultivated,,.and of value, they were given in great part to the robber nobility, for services rendered, and to make thé nobles under the great obli- gations to the ruler. The great ma- jority of the people were slaves to the king and his nobility. The priest- hood saw to it that the common peo- ple were only taught such things as was necessary, and always taught that the ruler was connected with something divine. In the primitive age of man such a form of government was perhaps the best. But has such a system of gov- ernment always been necessary; and should the great majority of man- kind not have arisen to a higher state of civilization that it has reached to- day? Given sufficient power kings have always become cruel despots, ambi- tious to rule more men and countries. Those of the kingly class are taught from youth that they belong to a superior order of mankind and have been selected to rule; and that the ones they rule have no rights which they are bound to respect. From gen- eration to generation such has been the teaching; always ably seoonded We don’t refer with disrespect to any particular _priest- hood, but to all as far back as his- tory is recorded; for this is what. it teaches: * ; tay * The man never lived who was great enough to rule over other men’ with justice. We-could go back in history for thousands of‘ years, and conditions under king. rule: would be found the same,- Should any of my readers wish to know how wars were conducted in the time of the Jews, just please read the thirty-first chapter of the book of ‘Numbers. And when you have read it, let us ask you in all kindness to ask yourselves how much civilization has advanced between then and the time of the present war in Belgium. After all these eighteen hundred years of Christian teaching man is still the brute, and in our opinion Christianity has dismally failed. —JAMES W. FOLEY. (To be continued.) Pe RET AN WITH THE EDITORS | THE MISSION. TO RUSSIA. (Minneapolis Journal.) The United States will send foremost constructive Elihu Root, with: a commission of practical Americans, to help the new Russian democracy out of the tangle in which the country had been en- snarled by the inefficient autocracy. The president, has chosén well. it be needful to.send our strongest {man of affairs to Russia, even as-Eng- land has sent to us her famous elder statesman, Balfour, and as France has sent us her former premier, Vivi- ani, and her great soldier who saved civilization on the Marne, Joffre, then a better than Elihu Root for the place could not be found. And Mr. Root, despite his age of seventy-two—exceeding the age of its his acceptance of the mission that he spoke no empty words when a few weeks ago he urged a gathering of Republicans in New York city to stand. squarely behind the president in the present war. to make us loyal,” he exclaimed, “We will make a doalition ourselves with primitive age ofjevery Democrat in the country.

A talent such as his is needed fox the work to be done in Russia. Its difficulties are summed up as politics), financial, transporta- tional and commercial. Wonderfully endowed with%resources and men, Russia neeiis ofganization. She needs the practical application of the Amer- ican gospel of efficiency. As Secretary of War Mr. Root re- shaped the army into an efficient tool, laid the foundation for Cuba’s pros- perity and freedom, and formulated the scheme of government that was to bring regeneration to the Philip- pines. As secretary of state he car- ried on the great policies of John Hay, brought order into the consular service, made diplomacy an inviting career for American youth to enter, and by his memorable circumnaviga- tion of South America succeeded in cementing the Latin-American repub- lics to us ina friendship of better un- derstanding. In the senate his con- structive statesmanship was for six years a driving force in national af- fairs. It is a strong helping hand that the United States holds out to the newest democracy. The failure of ‘Russia to do her part in the great war now, be- cause of the sudden shifting of poli- tical power and the complex prob- lems involved therein, would be a dis- aster of the first magnitude. At this distance it is impossible to judge of the true conditions, ‘but as- surances so weighty as to enforce conviction come to us pledging Rus- sia’s steadfastness. But it may very well happen that the Root commis- sion will be able to show Russia how to transmute her will into perform- ance. A greater single contribution to the task of “making the world safe for democracy” is hard to conceive. Just Fan i. Trying to, Please.
