In the process of questions and an- swers through which the president is passing there is much of interest and considerable of enlightenment. It is hard to see how any treaty could bind this country to a violation of its con- stitution in sending troops abroad, a matter that is in the hands of con- sress, but President Wilson admits that if the council made such a re- quest—and it could only be a request ere might be a moral obligation on our part to comply. If such a con- dition exists, 1t is imperative that it should be cleared up by a reserva- tion. as it probably will. With the relation of the league to internal affairs, the president gives explanation that is far from satisfac- tory. He was asked whether there was anything in either the league covenant or the treaty “which directly or indirectly in any manner imposes on the United States any obligations, moral or otherwise, of the slightest character, to support England in any way case of revolt in Ireland?” “There is not” the president said, and there is not. But he based his answer on the fact that “the only guaranty contained in the covenant is against external aggression.” That, too, is true. But if rebellion in Ire- land would not be ‘“external agsgres- sion.” as it would not, neither would the effort to suppress it be. and so, on tha president’s own theory, which is he correct one, we shouid, under the eague. have no relation of any sort to the controversy. The “aggression” on both sides would be internal. Yet Mr. Wilson holds that. under Article 11, we should have a right to make repre- sentations to the league in connection with a difference that he admies to be internal” to such an extent &s to make it impossible for this govern- ment to intervene on either side. If Article 10 does not apply, it is hard to see how Article 11 can. For if revolt on the part of Ireland would not be “external aggression,” it could only be because Ireland was not “external” to the British empire. If vere not, we could not interfere in n way, even by representations, without interfering in the internal or domestic affairs of the British gov- ernment. The two positions assumed by the president can not. we think, be reconciled. It looks like an at- tempt to have it both ways. In a war between the two peoples we would, under the covenant. be obliged to take no part on either side since the ag- gression on neither side would be “ex- al” If that is so we could inter- vene peacefully, with the consent of the league. omly on the theory that Great Britain was managing its do- stic affairs in such a way as to endanger the peace of the world— which strikes us as a rather desperate theory. EXODUS FROM GERMANY. Lovaity to their country while it was at war is not acting as a com- ng force to keep German citizens at home to assist in her rehabilitation, for it reported from Berlin that a eat rush of emigration has already gun. South America is the country wards which these men are turning Argentine, Brazil, Paraguay and agonia have announced that they weicome healthy Germans with- police records and free from Boi- svmpathies. The Berlin emi- gration office is telling the Germans that they are mot wanted just at pres- n the United States. Recognizing the distrust which might arise from any suspicion of| “colonization” or the flooding of the receiving country with undesirables, the Berlin governmental agencies have put themselves into communica- tion with all governments so that they may keep within the desired bounds. Statistics of the moving population show that it is the laborers and the industrial workers who are Sla}'ingl behind in their fatheiand, while the largest contingent of emigrants is composed of merchants, professional and technical men. Deserting Germany in her extremity now, these emigrants will bear no part in helping again to build her to a nation of the first importance nor will they again be caught in the mael- strom of war should that ever come again, as many prophets predict it ill, if the militarists remain in power and build up their resources in Ger- many. pe WARNING FOR PARENTS. A Norwich business man whose op- portunities for observation in differ- ent parts of the city qualify him to speak with authority, calls attention to the hold that the practice of “shooting craps” is gaining among Norwich youth, many of them of ten- der age. On the streets of Thames- ville, the West Side and Greeneville he has come upon little knots of young tellows, often mere boys, sometimes with as much as $20 in the game. Primarily this is a question for par- »nts and the fault lies with those who 40 not know what their boys are do- Ing or how they are spending or using their money. Laxity of parental su- pervision, indifference to where or how the boy spends his time gives the sprortunity for the formation of hab- Its, which sometimes come first to the parents’ knowledge when the boy is aaled into the police court. The do- mgstic tragedy is none the less acute ind harrowing, if the police court is happily avoided, and the revelation comes at home when the boy is call- ed to account for shortages and minor peculations which have -beent inspired by the wish to have more money to play the game. 2 There is a lessofi for parents in the Norwich man’'s observations. EMMA GOLDMAN. Considering the long fight she has made against law and order in the United States, it would -seem that Emma Goldman ought logically to be well satisfied if the sentence of de- portation takes her to Russia. She should there find all the absence of law and order which her soul craves. She was born in Russia, and in an interview given several years ago, said she was & member of the middle class. She came to America with a sister, when she was twelve years old. Later in life she married, but she did not live with her husband a great wh because she joined a group of radi- cals in New York, and one of her ear- liest determinations was that mar- riage should be abolished. She is op- posed to any form of law or any form of government, believing that every individual should have the utmost freedom of action, and should follow the dictates of his own conscience where right and wrong are involved. Following the Haymarket riots in Chicago, Miss Goldman became an ar- dent and active anarchist. She towred the country, delivering = incendiary speeches and urging revolt. At one time she was convicted on a charge of inciting a riot, and was sent to Blackwell's Island, near New York, where she served a year's sentence. The anarchist who murdered Presi- dent McKinley declared that he was inspired by one of Miss Goldman's lectures. She denied any extended ac- quaintance with him and asserted that the .ecture he attended was ve-y mild. When this country went to war Miss Gellman naturally opposed aay effort to 1aise an army. She and Alsxaunder Berkman—who once tried to murder Henry C. Frick—had worked together as fellow anarchists for several vears. They joined@ hands in helping ~bstruct the draft law and were sent to p-ison There will be few regrets when ine ship sails to bear her from tiese shores. MOONLIGHT SCHOOLS. Kentucky is recording a suceess in a novel educational experiment. It is moonlight schools, which are brinzing illiteracy in the state to the zero point. According to the 1910 census returas, Kentucky ranked fourth of the states in the Union in illiteracy, but this has given way before the moonlight school. It was the county school superin- tendent of Rowan county, Cora Wilson Stewart, who started the movement back in 1912. Miss Stewart had prob- ably never heard of daylight saving, but she decided there was lots of good moonlight going to waste that could be put to use in educational ways. She announced that the schools of her county would conduct “moonlight sessions,” which would be open to ail comers. The idea appeaed to the people and there were 1,200 grown-ups who attended on the open- ing night. They were thirsty for knowledge and they kept on coming. It was found that night schoois w:re Jus® &4 y-.ctica in the co t. 15 as cties There wis af 1emance in the attendance b found they c-uld have a el time coming together in their search for knowledge. The movement inaugurated by Miss Stewart spread to other states. It has demonstrated its usefulness and pop- ularity. Secretary Lane is convinced that the federal govermment can lend great assistance in spreading the movement and teaching the people. He may find it necessary, in certain districts or at certain times, to hang up an ‘artificial moon for the opening session of a school, but once opened, it will remain open, if teachers can be tound for the work. EDITORIAL NOTES. Shortages of about everything but trouble seems to be apparent these days. 3 Mexican bandits make up for their bad aim by the frequency with which they shoot. 5 Mr. McAdoo savs he will not dodge a presidential nomination. No more would his father-in-law. Japan denies that she has heard anything from the United States about the date for meving out of Shantung. Be chcerful, advises the U. S. health service, to ward off the influenza. That’s pieasant medicine that all can try. Turkey harries the Armenians afresh and tries to get the world to belicve she has a humble and coairite heart.

It was alike tribute to the entire American Iorces and to the -general who commanded those forces. The parade led by Per- shing, and in which marched 25,000 oversea men in helmet and full war regalia, artillery, cavalry, infantry, and all that goes to make up a di- vision, went over a five mile course of broad avenues, pelted with roses and deafened by cheers. It marched with colors flying and to the step of great military bands. There is noth- ing one can say or write that gives an adequate idea of the scene. And overhead great fleets of huge air- planes swooped and glided in “war formation” which is on .the lines of a flying wedge. To be sure the president was ab- sent, and the secretary of state is still on a fishing trip “up state,” but there were plenty of others to bid the men welcome, and not less than 409,000 spectators lined the streets and occu- pied reviewing stands for five hours while the long procession passed. And many on-lookers realized that could the 75,000 heroic American dead have risen, and those men who sleep on the fields of France joined in that great demonstration, the line would have been fifteen miles long and could not have passed a given point be- tween dawn and dusk. After a great ovation at the hands of congress the general came up to the press gallery and greeted each member personally. We have read of the Fershing smile. And don't be deceived about it. That smile is the real thing, in which = merry twinkle of the eyes form a big part. Moreover, “Black Jack” is of far complexion, burned to a bronze,'and has a pair of dimples that a girl might envy, all in contrast to his_military_bearing and dignity of carriage. He seems completely un- accepted the tributes. not as person- al, but for the whole army. Its no use trying to talk about any- thing that has not a military slant. It's in the air. The league. the treaty. the future military policy of the United States have been discussed by congress and committees, to the ex- clusion of all else. General Leonard Wood. as witness before the senate committee was the star porformer. He sat at the long table in the midst of senators and members of congress who listened eagerly to learn his views. The face of the general shows many lines of care, but is strong and clear cut. He expressed no opinion on policies of the past but when asked about the future struck straight from the shoulder. When questioned about matters in the United States he Answered freely, but to all questions regarding what took place oversea he invariably replied auietly. “T cannon answer. I had no opportunity to jude Whereupon everyone present recalled how Wood was shunted to a side track and kept In this country when the troops he had so faithfully trained were sent oversea. Here are some of the things Wood advocated: Universal military training for six consecutive months in the 19th yvear of a man’ age: then put him on the reserve list a standing army of not over 250,000 with a surplus of ‘15 per cent. offi- cers: not to put a large force in the Philippines as in the event of an at- tempt to wrest the islands from us it would be a sea force, and not a land force, that could defend them.i When asked what could be done with the g number of officers of high rank urged by the war department. General Wood tersely renlied: “Pay them.” Apparently his idea is that officers of the ranks of cantain, ma- jor, and colonel are much more need- ed in training a reserve force than those of higher rank. He expressed the, belief that colleges would co-oper- ate with the universal training sys- tem so men would not lose a scholas- tic vear by taking the military course. There is no doubt that a strong wundercurrent of opinion ex- ists here both in civilian and militarv cireles, that the United States will be involved in another war !within ten years—and that the country must he prepared to face it. whether or not fhe League of Nationx is ratified. All the same it is doubtful at this mo- ment. if the sugzestions of the war department or of General Wood will be complied with. for it is under- stood that a majority of the mili- tary committee of the house Is re- luctant to endorse a universal train- ing bill and will urge that instead of preparing men for war we shall make and have on hand a large supply of arms. ammunition and eguipment. on the ground that in the war just clos- ed we found it easy to raise an army but impossible to equip it at short notice. As a member of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce Con- gressman Merritt of the fourth Con- necticut district is getting hundreds of letters protesting against the enact- ment_of legislation along the lines of the Siegel bill to recuire all persons transacting business to obtain fed- eral licenses and to have cost marks on their goods in plain figures. The bill also requires many other inno- vations of a radical character to whioh merchants are filing strong ob- jections. There seems to be little probability that the bill will find fa vor either at the hands of the com- ittee or congress as a whole. Com- enting on the business conditions of today Mr. Merritt said he believed it was time for the level headed men of the country to come out in the open and fight for gafe and sane legisla- tion. Said he: “I think much radical legislation which has been suggested regarding general economic law and business principles would fail to vro- duce the results intended. T anticipate that next vear there will be no end of radical and socialistic ‘views put for- ward and the sensible and conserva- tive citizens who anpreciates what Americanism and\ the constitution mean, should not sit idly’' by and let the agitators alone do the agitating.” We read “Human Interest” stories by the score and wonder if they are the real thing. Here is one the writer will vouch for, as it occurred in his »presence. The night before the Pershing parade a. little grey- haired woman from Wisconsin, speak- ing English with a strong foreign ac- cent was talking in the lobby of an up- town hotel, and wondering if she could pick out “her boy” from the ranks of the 25.000 soldiers who would pass her in the parade. “T haven't seen him for more than two vears” she said. “He's with the First Division and there's only he and T left.” she added, glancing down at her black . dress. The morning of the.parade the lone-| Iy little lady was up early and hear ing the tramp of many feet leaned far out of her window in the early morn- ing mist, to watch a sectign of the in- coming soldiers march down the av- enue past the hotel. to' their place of mobilization. Hundreds of such sec- tions were scattered all over this great ‘eity of 400,000 veople, yet the first thing the mother saw, was her boy— marching erect with steady tread and eyes forward, wearing four stripes and the Sam Browne belt of foreign ser- clothes from khaki, to the pretty girl him. ‘there’s something wrong about this, Genevieve.” , “About what?” i the pretty &irl, looking about her in some alarm. “Well,” said the young man regard- ing her seriously, “T've h-:ke: one week now and you haven't d me once whether or not I didn't fall in love, and if I didn’t why didn't 1. You haven’t even asked whether I thought French girls prettier and more sylish than the home grown oOnes. You have displayed not the slightest prop- er anxiety as to the state of my emo- tions. You have taken me absolutely for granted.” “Well, my goodness!” she gasped. “You ought to be thankful instead of fussing about it.” “Huh!” the young man said doubt- fully. “I don’t know at all. Every oth- er chap I know has had the dickens of a time trying to explain to his girl even when there wasn’t anything to ex- plain - and attempting to soothe her ruffled spirit. I have seen them tear their hair and wish to goodness May and Dorothy and Heien would use 2 little sense and forget all that rot and have peace. And here I haven't had even the littlest bit of a worry. It doesn’t seem right. Don’t you care whether or not I fell in love with a French girl?” “Well, did you?' asked tho pretiy sirl. “That’s not at 2ll right ' frowned the young man. “You ecah’t drag con- fession from a man in such a point- blank fashion. You must approach the subject differently. A sizh or two and a sad look—" “Don’t be_ siliy! “Well, we've got to straighten this out,” he persisted, “otherwise I shall never be convinced that you really love me. Do you mean to say_that all the while I was gome vou didn't have a pang of jealousy or worry at al :Or fear somebody would snatch e —I don’t knowy” she confessed. “Maybe I did rather wonder. Only T didn’t let it bother me much.” “Because you had such faith in me!” said the young man triumphantly. “Nope,” the pretty told him, ‘1 T o bothering and can have him.” “If you weren’'t so pretty,” sald the ‘wouldn’t young man gloomingly, ‘you have been so ‘lry.‘;w know there were a dosen others just waiting "or you to look at them. Why, Tom Hunter's girl cried all the fi ev- he got home Dbecause said she just knew Tod was some- thing back. He nearly lost mind. She said in every magasine story she had read during_the last two years the handsome Ammerican soldier lost his heart to some lovely French girl and heroically from her to re- turn a blighted being and fulfill his engagement with the girl back home. She said she just knew Tod was pin- ing for whomever he had left over there and she could be noble, too, and he was to take the next boat right back and forgét about her and her broken heart. And Lester White's girl made him describe every French girl he had spoken to while over there. I've been all primed up for something of the same sort and I hayen't had it. Such sublime trust isn’t natural!” “T worried about your being killed,” she_told him softly. “Yes,” he admitted. “Honest, Gene- vieve. wouldn't you care a particle if I ha irted with some other girl?” ‘re you trying to tell me some- thing?” she asked. “Huh!” the young man sald myste- riously. ¥ The pretty xirl leaned across the ta- ble and regarded him severely. “Gene Phillips,” she said in a low, Intense tone, “you might just as well tell me all about it right away. When you be- #an talking this way T knew there was something—who was she> Has she written you since you got home? Why did you never mention her? Letting me think you never thought of anyone but me—tell me right away—" “There!” sighed the voung man con- tentedly. “that's better. Gee. Gene- vieve. T thought you didn't care any- thing about me. There wasn't singie, solitary girl T looked at all the while T was over there!” “T don’t believe it!” the pretty girl stated firmly. “And I'm never roing to ston till T find out every single thing about it."—Chicago News. a moment later the little woman was held in his strong, young arms, and the little group of men standing near weren’'t ashamed that their eves grew moist. Gleaned from Foreign Ex. changes No one nas yet told us why hand- kerchiefs are square, but a reader re- minds us that they were unknown be- fore the early part of the 16th cen- tury, Venice being the place where they made their first appearance. Otto Fichel, German autherity, says that the Gérmans were slow te tadopt the new idea. They first used them in 1580, and eoon afterwards sumptuary laws were énacted in most German states forbidding any person -of plebian birth from blowing his nose with a handkerchief. This restriction remained in force for over 200 years, and was enforced even on the stage. So recently as 1790 an actress was officially reprimanded or disregarding it in a Berlin theatre. She excused herself by pleading that she had not used a handkerchief, only “a little linen rag.” . Schoolmasters who forbid their pu- pils to wear soft collars should study the manifesto issued by Leighton Frooks, founder and président of the Anti-Collar league, which has a large membership in the United States. Mr. Frooks maintains that when a man bares his neck he sharpens his wits. for collars stop the free flow of blood to the brain. No author eéver wrote anything worth reading when wearing a collar. ° President Wilson always removes his collar when pen ning his messages. And Bdison has to take off his collar before he can invent | anything.” Mr. Frooks goes on to say that “there are few men who &6 not wish at some time or other collars were never invented.” and there he happens on a great truth. The opnosition to Wagner's music in Paris recalls the outery against its production in this country 0 years ago. English opposition, however. stems to have been not patriotic. but relig- ious, for Dr. Hueffer, musical criti¢ of the Times in the early 'Tbs, records that his praise of Wagner brought him many letters. almost all denouneink the new music as “blasphemous,” and threatening him with anyting from ducking in a horsepond to beating to death if he continued to uphold it. King Victor Emmanual of Italy, who as made 80 splendid a gift to his peo- vle. is a living advertisement of the berefits of a Spartan eddcation. He was a very delicate child hiz father Adetermined upbringing in the hope of overcoming natural delicacy. There was no relax- ation of the code laid down. . One dismal morning it was repra- sented to his tutor that he had a cold. and had better not take his usual ride. “If there were war.” said the old mar- tinet. “would the prinea stay at home beronse he had a cold “There {s no srguing with these nld soldiers, ald the doctor, as he sub- mitted. A word to manufacturers: There is one thing which ought to be said very plainly and at once to British manu- facturers who are complaining of the restoration of German and Austrian competition. The British consumer is not goin& to pay more for an inferior article simply because the profiteer behind it is British. If the Americans, who are said to be asain importing German dyes, find in consequence that they can sell their textiles in the world markets more readily than the British textile manufacturers who are strictly confined to the use of British dyes. then it will become necessary for the British, in self-protection, to import German dyes also. 1f our lens makers cannot sell lenses at less than four or five times the price of highly satisfac- tory German lenses, no tariff in the world will preserve them even the home market indefinitely. It is neto- rious that the ordinary household glass which took the place of the Aus- trian glass in this country in the early. years of the war was not only much dearer than but much inferfor to the imported glass. g The German piano has a good name, and if the British piano manufacturer wishes to hold the piano market given him by the incidence of the war he must not inerease the ‘price so_much as the quality.

His long and inconsequential reign is recalled chiefly because he puzzled lexicographers by leaving on his books, pottery and having inscribed on his tomb, the initials ‘A. E. I. O.

The most generally accepted explanation is that the initials stood for the Latin, ‘Austriae Est' Imperari Orbi Universo, meaning, ‘All the earth .pon its thriving industries and fas growing commerce. “Magyar gerrymandering caused it to be anneéxed to Hungary in 1870, despite the protest 6f Croatia to which it had belong since the revolution of 1848-49.

Italian and Slav, with the Italian slightly predominant. Only about half the remaining tenth were Hungarians. The ~Slavs included Croats, Serbs and Slovenes. As im- portant to Hungary as are -New York or Boston to the United States, Fiume's total population is not much greater than such suburbs of those Amerioan ports as East Orange, N. J., or Brockton, Maas. “Fiume is situatéd on the northeast shores of the Gulf of Quarnero, only seventy miles. by rail, southeast of its trade rival, Triéste. Acrogs the bay is the popular summeér resort, Abbazia, famead for its évergreen laurel and pro- fusfon of roses. to which tens of thou- sands of visitors formerly thronged each summer. “The older town. distinotively Ttal- ian, is built 6n the hillside, overiéok- ing the gulf.

They advise instead a “waiting game,” excepting that Commissioner .Curtis will be forced to restore the men to their former positions. The advice of lawyers, when they counsel against gcing to law, is always good. The lawyer who says “idon't sue,” is generally about 100 per cent right. Tn the Boston case the advice of the lawyers i8 borne out by the common sense of the situation Men who viol- ated their oaths of office and deserted their posts have small chance to sue in court for enforced reinstatements. And the lawyers know it. The situation can be easfly remedind, however, from the A. F. of L. view- point. Simply take the courts into the A F. of L. and let the judges Know what the interpretation of the laws must be according to the pules of the union. 1f any judge is “fresh” and refuscs to obey the mandates, call a cnapel meeting and dissharge him.
