A SPECIAL JOB FOR THE POLICE. OCIALIST-PACIFIST riots in Chicago and Cleveland yesterday | S gave point to the warnings of the National Security League that anti-war organizations are busy and that “quietly by under- ground methods, their propaganda, coupled with that of those who| would weaken the United States and benefit Germany, is being, spread broadcast.” While there is little likelihood thet, in the face of an overwhelm-| ing impulse of sound Americanism, these pacifist demonstrations will grow to dangerous proportions, there is every reason why they should not even be permitted to assume « hectic violence and lawlessness caloulated, with the help of exaggeration, to delight Berlin. One week from to-morrow the nation will enroll its male citizens between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one on a great war roster, The significance and purpose of that day must not be in any degree, however slight, obscured or marred. Attorney General Gregory reminds all malcontents that under the Federal Law any two or more persons who conspire to “hinder, prevent or delay the execution of any law of the United States” can be punished by six years in prison. Between now and Registration Day, June 5, it should be the special care of the police in every city in the United States to prove to anti-draft agitators and other unpatriotic manifestants that allies| of Germany who directly or indirectly seek to take advantage of this} nation’s devotion to the principle of free speech in order to work for its enemies, will be treated as they deserve.

The game played by the food gamblers and the price boosters has not ceased. It bas only become more surreptitious. There is just one thing that will stop it and that is authority. The public cannot of itself create that authority. It must, look to Congress. And unless Congress acts with courage and conviction to assure American consiimérs that they will not be forced to give all they can earn and more to satisfy the uncontrolled rapacity of; those who produce, distribute or gamble in lify’s first necessities, the bottom is going to drop out of American prosperity. er The latest German air raid on unprotected British coast towns killed twenty-seven women and twenty-three children out of total casualties of 76 dead and 174 wounded.

The delightful spectacle into which Miss Eleanor Schorer of The Evening World, Park Commissioner Cabot Ward and Supervisor William J. Lee and his assistants in the Recreation Bureau had put so much talent and skilled preparation furnished a perfect example of the way to get the most and best out of public playgrounds, A public that finally comes to look upon its parks as the natural and valued setting for such entertainments is not a public that wan tonly destroys park shrubbery and ecatters luncheon remains and papers over park lawns. “Young Manhattan” started off the out-of-door season of 1917 with a fine illustration of what parks are for. New York should utilize them oftener for similar purposes, thereby teaching young and old to regard them with more rea! appreciation and therefore with more real respect.
