Whils so much is belng done to Suppreéss the activities of the seditious and to ohgek the work of the- agents of the ememy who are &till within our midst, evidence is now and then pres- ent to the effect that some of the plans devised for getting such peo- ple under control and knowing where they are are being allowed to run them- selves. In the matter of the registra- tion of the enemy allens it was obligatory for them to appear before the designated authorities and rgake a statement regarding their allegiarice get credentlals denoting compliance, and recel\'e~ instructions to the effect that they were to be restricted to cer- * tain localitles wherein they would not ¢ have oppartunity to cause any damage to war establishments or industries. Probably a large majority of the ¢nemy aliens responded to thig de- mand, But every now and then there is evidence furnished to the effect that there are not a few who have not complied and who do not intend to unless they are made to show their hands. This was strikingly il- lustrated in the raid which the fed- eral authorities made upon a number of German saloons and clubs in New York where out of the 800 who were arrested it was found that there were 53 enemy allens in that number who were without credentials. That is a arge proportion- if it prevafls throughcut the country and while fhose 63 are to be placed in a deten- tion camp until the war ends it can- not help being realized that any ‘and all others In like position should re- ceive the same treatment. Those who are dodging the law need a stiff les- son in enforcement. THE CHILD LABOR DECISION. There.1s bound to be deep regret. and at the same great surprigse over the decislon of the United States su- preme court which declares that the federal child labor law is unconsti- tutional and therefore null and void. This means that state’s rights are to Ke precedent to national welfare and t ofie of the highly Importan# steps hich was takex to bring about a reeded change is destroyed The decision does not affect laws which have been passed by states to tccomplish the same object as the ‘federal law, but it does mean that congress has not the right to say that conditions ecannot , exist in a state ch are detrimental to the nation and that without attempting to inter- fere with what is to go on within the state when it affects the state alone, congress cannot evén say what the conditions there shall be when they have an effect upon the rest of the country. It was through interstate commefce that congress intended to improve the child labor conditfons in certain states I declaring that the prodict of their iabor conld not be shipped into other states. Finding that such an offort to better conditions and uplift the race Is unconstitutional looks like a decided step backward. That fs.what creates 80 mnch surprise in connec- tion with the decision. But if the end «imed at cannot be secured through legislation enacted by congress it rmply calls for increasing the edu- cational efforts in the states where the improvement is needed and seeing that it ls brotight about by state leg- slation. The work”is too {mportant v be allowed’ to stop with *this de- xiston. —_—_— CROP OUTLOOK. Government -reports based upon sonditlons about the country. have Jeen very encouraging in regard to the wheat P that can be expected this ear. The indications at present are that It will go far beyond last year ind unless something unforeseen in the wav of damage ls sustained there are promises from the manmer in which the wheat raisers are responding to the sitnation that it will establish a new reeord. Such‘of course 18 most gratifying and it 18 to be hoped that the looked for resylts will be obtain~ ed. Thete can be no possibility of being too much wheat raised, in view of the demands which exist today for it > In addition, however, not a little satisfastion is to be gained from the reports to the effect that the corn groduction instead of falling down badly gives promise of beéing as large if not larger than ever. Here much depends upon conditions but the indications are now all that could be expected, and it i fully realized that it i 4 crop #pon which the nation places great dependenece. What is true of corn here is likewise true of it in Argentina, which country expécts 16 have large amounts to export this Not a little concern was manifested Here over the threatened lack of &eed, but if care has been exercised in the selection of the seed and it is a faet that the acreage planted to dorn will practicaily equal that of last year everything appears to bé moving as it should and there certainly .could not be any bettér time for bumper crops than during the presént year. We need all the grain which we can get for our trogps, cur allies and °our- selves, while neutrals stand ready to take all they can get. NO QUARTER FOR SWINDLERS. Just now a determined-effort is be- ing made to run dowr those who have been putting forth paintings as the actual work of an artist named Blake- lock who has come inte considerable prominence because of the interest taken in him resulting in his removal from an insane hospifal and giving him a chance to engage in his art. That he possesseg ability is evidenced by the fact that there has been such a studied effort to copy his work and put it out as original. Whatever may be the mental condition 6f the painter there can be no question but what he can tell the difference between his own product and that of someone else who has been copying his work. He has looked over not a few of such imitations and as the result he has not hesitated to brand them as frands, and the impression iy that a number of clever artists,who have not the ability to bring forth original work have been emploved in making copies of his plctures so nearly perfectythat it requires a judge of art to tell the difference, This is of course a swindle puré and eimple and it calls for the prosécu- tion of the guilty parties just as much as if they were enghged in fraud of other kinds. Not only is such work 4 rank injustice in so -faf as it con- cerns the artist but it is an impesi- ‘| tion upon all purchasérs of art who are made to pay the price of originals only to find out that théy havé in- vested in epurious goods. Thé running down of the guilty parties may not be the easiest sort of a Job but it needs to be carried on- assiduously until results are obtained. It is not enough td put them out of business but they should be made to pay the petialty the same ag if it wae a swin- dle of any other kind. There can be ud quarter fér swindlers. ANOTHER CHANCE FOR IRELAND What looks like an effort to relieve the high tension which has existed in Ireland for some time and bfing about a better! understanding regarding the participation .of the people of the T'merald Isle in the war is the procla- mation whi¢h has been isstied by the Jord lieutenant of Ireland, Viscount French, calling for the enlistment of 50,000 Irishmen, and following that that there be from 2,000 to 3,000 gnlist- ments each month in order to make up for the losses in thé ranks of the Irish troops. It was only a short time ago that the decision had been reached to put conscription into effect in There are already many Irish spldiers fighting with the British but the pro- portion is not in keeping with that of the rest of the United Kingdom al- though there is every reason why the Irish should oppose the advance of the Germans as well 4s other Brit~ ons. The draft was decided upon in or- der to see-that Ireland did its part. It was evident that it would arouse op- position and it did, but it is perfectly]| apparent by thé new move that the British ministry will be satisfied if Ireland shows itself willing to do its part through volunteering. How such an appeal is going to be received re- mains to be seen. It is a case where Ireland is to be given another chance and it it responds in accord with the provisions set forth there dre reasons to believe that it will mean the end of the effort to enforce conseription. In other words Ireland has been given an. alternative to conscription. EDITORIAL NOTES. When a German drive slows down it is not an easy task to get it to go- ing again, —— o The Germans bormb hospitals just as if they were anxiotic for the allles to adopt like methods in retaliation. The Americans are showing that what they did at Cantigny they can be expected to do whenever occasion requires. e — The allles’ reserves in Franee ap- pear-to be doing just what is expect- ed of them and included therein are lo be found the Americans. The plarf of Germany to spank Swe- den for entéring into a commerecial agreement with the United States is only what must have been expected. The man on the corner says: If you notice a fellow acting a bit. chesty, overlook it, he has probably just re- ceived a part of his néxt winter's coal, Germany ls striking at the past present and future when it bombs hospitals with their wounded, and nurses and attacks schoolhouses and Aurseries,, Thfre can be no question but what Germany is doing its utmost to spur vs on to our greatest war endeavors. 1t certainly cannot discourage us by its .tactics, No one ever héars anything about sclf .determination in the Russian provinces these days, and the worst of it is that it will never be heard of again if Germany has its way. One of the submarine commanders declares he has been in these waters for two months, but no one ever heard of a U-boat keeping quiet that long, unless it was Davy Jones. et g ‘When the woolen manufacturers de- cide to make no more olive drab and khaki cloth except for army use it is A wise decision.

Hg sprang to STORIES OF THE WAR 8ea Plane Training in Italy. (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press): American admiration for Italian éfficiency and hospitality is one of the sentimental facts which has developéd here since thé establishment of ah Amefican Seaplané Training Camp, in Italy, on the edge of an inland lake by joint asre~eren‘ of the navy de- partment of the two nations, “We can't s.y cuough nice thifigs about our Italian friends from any point of view,” explained the American commander of the students, Their efficiency is only equalled by their ca- pacity for friendship., Their hospital- ity is unbounded. They don't seem to be able to do enough for us” “This ig certainly no place for boob fiiers,” declared one of the young en- signs who, having obtaified his brevet at H*acola, Florida, has come down here'With a group of otheérs.to learn the Italia water machines” The Italian instructor pilots are all crack men and can detect a defective motor when the | maching is two thousand feet high! and flying at eighty miles an hour. ‘When a man léarns to fly here he can| fly anywhere in any machine.” H F The training camp here is one of the ! many dozens that have been establish- | ed all over Italy in connection with Italy’s ambition_to conquer in the air. ‘When Senator Pio, Foa complained ir the Italian senate that there were so many aviation camps in Italy that ground useful for grain cultivation was being unduly occupied, he was not very far wide of the mark. For the past two years Italian offi- cers have beén insisting that victory | would come only through the air, and | these camps are the result of tie effort in that direction. Accordinz to Commissioner General of Aeronau- tics, Chiesa, Italy today has 40.000 men. in various branches of machine mdnufacture, 5 That American aviators are at last coming into Italy first for train- ing and later for fighting is a subject of satisfaction to all Italians and par- ticularly to the Italian Aviation Corps. As a mark of Italy’s pride at hav- ing Americans to train, one of the navy's most &'stinguished air mn- chine officers was instructed to build the camp. He is'technically in charge lof the camp, with &n American com- mander to control the training of the American students. The work of turning out men for active service either as .observers or pilots has gone on rapidly. The big problem is to keep the men flying, to| give them the practice necessary to make an all-around man. Thirty hours in the air is generally required for each man. This geems like a small amount of time until it is realized that this means at least 120 flights of 15 minutes each and that it ie not al- easy to give each man as much as one flight of 15 minutes a day. Flying is like farming. It is regulated by the weather. Seaplane flying is ' quite difficdlt, but in seaplane flying the landing cannot be made without dan- ger if there is mist haneing over the water or if the water's surface is mirrorlike, sirce in either cdse the flier cannot judge distances and in nosing preliminary to landing he,may hit the water too soon, drown him- seif and wreck a valuable machitie. Further, every coudition varies ac- cording to the type of machine being used.

The British Tabor Unions are loyal supporters of the war. But the whole British Labor party also includes a number of Soeialistic organizations, twhich are non-union, and often paci- fistic. The former organization sent a del> egation here last fall which did much to encourage Ameérican Labor ia its patrietic stand against prema‘ure peace. The litler organization now prepares 1o send a delegation over and - Mr. Gompers, to try to induce them to al- jlow American delegates to attend an International Socialist Conference. They sh2l! not pass! Why? Henderson, the British So- cialist, has said that only such a con- ference can end the war. There are socialists in France and Italy of the éame opinion. And in stich a ference,~the loyal Labor of Bngland and America would be swamped by thed disloyal pestilent pro-German agitators. ‘Two-thirds of the 1ast conference of British Labor voted against the Paci- fists, and yet now these Pacifists are plotting to pack a new Internationai ‘Conetence . with followers of their deadly defeatist program.
