[ WAS an impressive send-off. months otarted New York will never forget its feclings yesterday during the hours of that brave tramp, tramp down its famous avenue lined with millions of intent faces. Some of the eyes that looked most eagerly were at times too dim to see. Some of the voices that might have rung out loudest were too choked to cheer. But pride, admira- ‘tion, the thrill of confidence and trust were there. ’ How could they have failed to be? As those thousands of clear- “eyed, elean-limbed boys swung down the broad, familiar thoroughfare who could remain unconscious of a lift of spirit and a warmer glow of certainty? : They needed no flashing swords or gleam of gold braid to make the crowds feel the glorious force of them. Their plain, dull uniforms only heightened the never-to-be-forgotten impression of their fighting) strength. One woman turned, with shining eyes, to say: “Why, I! never felt so sure!’ And the same was in every heart. | Let no one say this big city was not deeply moved by the solemn | significance as well as by tlic spectacle of yesterday. One felt it| everywhere, from the groups of workers pressing forward with hushed | voices through the side streets, eating hasty hand luncheons en route, to the big restaurants where the gay confusion of the midday meal, suddenly ceased and every one stood in silence as the orchestra played| “The Star Spangled Banner,” while the tramp, tramp down the avenue still went on. New York could never have afforded to miss this send-off to its soldiers. . In RE heating and urging it The Evening World felt sure that no difficulties encountered by the army authorities in arranging for it could outweigh its desirability and the certainty of its success. And 60 it has proved. Yesterday's send-off to the State troops was not only the greatest military parade that has ever marched through the city’s streets, but it was also the most inspiring, reassur- ing demonstration of their war strength that could have been brought home to the people of New York at the present moment, It was good for the boys. It was good for the city. Both will be the better for it. ne A SINGULAR SELECTION. Exhibit A—News despatch from Washington, Aug. 24: Secretary of War Baker to-day announced the establish. ment of a board of control for labor standards in army clothing. Louis Kirstein of Boston will be Chairman and the other two members are Capt. Walter E. Kreust, a reserve officer of the Quartermaster's Department of the Army, and Mrs. Florence Kelley, General Secretary of the National Consumers’ Leagu Exhibit B—From yesterday’s New York morning papers: Report of a Woman’s Peace Party meeting held at the Garden Theatre the night before; Miss Crystal Eastman introduced the speakers. All were bitter against conscription. Mrs. Florence Kelley, General Sec- retary of the National Consumers’ League, declared: “You are the widows of democracy! Democracy is dead and to-morrow its ghont will walk in the streets! If you are worthy mothers you will come down to breakfast to-morrow morning dressed in black, and you will wear black till the conscription law is repealed.” Is the War Department forced to seek its helpers among pacifist mourners and undertakers who: come to bury the republic?

Finally, after several days, Hannah Duston, with a young woman friend of hers by the name of Mary Neff, and @ boy nained Samuel Leonard- son, not yet in his teens, fell to the custody of one of the chiefs, as the war party broke up. They were in- formed that, when they reached the next village, they were to be made td run the gantlet—which meant a death by torture. “There is only one take @ break for liberty.” She motioned the boy to her side, and whispered to him to find out from the Indians if he could, by trickery, the exact spot on the head on which to strike a death blow. She knew his youth would suppre their suspicions and ald bim in his purpose, The youngster came back with information, pointing to his temp! That night, while the twelve In- dians were ‘sleeping around their camp fire, on the bank of the Morci- mac, secure in the conviction that the prisoners were only two women and a boy, Mrs, Neff rose trom the ground quietly, picked up a toma- hawk and bent'over the nearest war- rior, motioning the others to follow her ‘example, Ten minutes later the Indians had all been slain—killed by the desperate eee of two American women «ng & Oy.

The General Court of Massachusetts voted all three a generous reward. And even the Governor of Marviand sent Mrs. Dunston a pewter tankard as a mark of his esteem for her pluck and daring. The e: ploit sent a new w and hope through the colonies, and the Indians ‘© met by such a 4 termined resistance that they were driven back, ‘There are hundreds of Hannah Dus- tons among the American women to- day who can be just as resourceful and just as plucky in this great emergency. But they haven't heard the call ‘et. They don't appreciate the fact that we are plunged into the most terrific war with the most heartless foe we have ever faced. They don't sve yet the struggles and sacrifices which they, American women, will have to face before we are through. And the women of this country will largely determine the result of this war—as they have done in every great conflict of the past. Tt will soon be time for the Hannah Dustons of to-day to show them- selves.

More than twenty years ago Germany ald- ed in fdrcing Japan to give up the Ligotung peninsula, including Port Arthur, which had been ceded to Nip- pon by China as a war indemnity, In 1897 Germany seized Kiaochou. as indemnity for the murd@r of two Ger- man missionaries by the Chinese, Thus the nation which had forced Japan to give up the fruits of victory and drove her from the Chinese main- land had her occupied Chinese territory and created a strong naval base, which was an arrow polnted at the heart of Japan, Naturally the Japanese resented this, and when the gave the order to strike against Germany his people enthu- slastically obeyed his command, The “If the White Man's Lord haa| though this does not appear on the) fall of Kiaochou was a great blow to Germany, which had spent a hun- dred millions on fortifications, and correspondingly a considerable tri+ umpb for Japan, phoned.
