AN EPITOME OF OUR VIRTUES
Rene Viviani, Fiance’s vice-premier, in a statement to the
press, «|nai• 11 in its French effervescence, lauds President Wil
son’s message as “incomparable” and “the most perfect char
ter of human rights” and declares that it eptitomizes the vir
tues of the American “race”—“long suffering patience before
appealing to force; and force to avenge that long suffering pa
tience wlum there can be no other means.”
-:o:-—
ALL ARE NOT WITH AUTOCRACY
“The people in Germany are not always with this auto
cracy,” said Janies W. Gerard, former United States ambassa
dor to Germany, in Boston recently. “Much of the information
which has been given to me about the prison camps has come
from the very guards of those camps and from anonymous let
ters received from Berlin and even from notes slipped into my
pockets as I walked through the stri*ets of Prussia ”
-:o;
G0 TO IT, THEODORE
“Dee lighted!” said Colonel Theodore Roosevelt when
they told him American gunners had “winged” a German
diver. “I am rejoiced! Thank heaven some Americans have
at last begun to hit. We have been altogether too long at the
receiver end of this ubmnrine warfare,” and the colonel short
led gleefully as the Associated Press gave him details of the S.
S. Mongolia’s light with one of the kaiser’s submarines.
Whatever may be a critic’s opinion of Colonel Roosevelt
politically, lie can hardly help liking the “pep” the colonel
puts into both his talking and fighting. The colonel’s “ginger”
is inspiring and his most unrelenting political opponent is
prompted to put a sword in his hand, send him to France with
bis American legion and when he is once there give him a slap
on the back and say, “Go to it, Theodore!”

HARD TO HATE OUR ENEMY
Ilow hard if i- f(> hate our enemies when those happen to
be a people with whom we lived in kindly neighborliness before
becoming embroiled in war is shown in the haste we make to
personalize* enmity.
We have no quarrel with the German people, but with the
mi I it ui > autocrats, declares President \\ ilson. Tin* answer
Germany makes is an “Answer to Wilson!”
The German government has just ccnoluded its advertis
ing campaign for subscriptions to its sixth war loan, say dis
patebes I ram Switzerland. I nder flaring headlines, say these
reports, the advertisements have appeared in all German pa
lters with the caption, “The Answer to Wilson!” In tin* body
ot the advertisement appears the statement:
“.The German war loan gives an opportunity to show Wil
son wlmt the Kerman poop!d>oany tuiWk. i.et every one sun
scribe, and thus will tin* right answer be given to Wilson.”
They insist upon making Wilson the “goat.” We can
only hope that we are not as far wrong in putting the blame on
the kaiser and his military autocrats as we know the govern
ment is in believing that the stand taken by the United States
is “Wilson’s” rather than “America’s.”
-:o:
MOBILIZED WOMANHOOD
A\ lion lile has settled again into tin* every day routine—
tar away as it may seem, that time is bound to come—the world
will look with new respect on its women. Just as the woman
movement was beginning to assume real proportions, the great
est test came. Women met it successfully. Whatever may or
may not be said about women after the war, there will be a few
arguments against equal rights, worn and ragged with long
and constant use, that won’t be used any more, you may be sure
of it. Already these arguments are in the discard.
System and eltieiency are probably the most valuable les
sons that the women have learned, at what cost they themselves
best realize- And the women of America are profiting by all the
experiences of their foreign sisters, now that they are standing
just on the border of the valley of the shadow of war and hor
ror and untold misery of which death may be the least hard to
» M H I .
Tacoma Women arc being mobilized for service in an effi
cient manner that they would have found hard to believe pos
sible a tew months since. A small army of Red Cross women
have pledged their support to their country, and the suffering
of the world, and are stitching away daily on the implements
ot merciful warfare—the warfare* against disease and disaster
that trail in the walk of the war god’s legions.
I lie National League for \\ omen’s Service already has list
ed nearly a thousand girls and women. These are not enrolled
for obligatory service. If, when the need comes, they are not in
a position to give Ihe assistance which their enrollment tenta
tively pledges, no one will expect it of them. They merely have
been listed with Tacoma’s classified womanhood, card cata
logued and indexed, in a clearing house of occupations.
The service is not without recompense by any means.
There are many women whose work for the government even at
better pay than they now command, would be invaluable. They
are highly trained, efficient business women, dependent on
themselves for support, with perhaps others dependent on
them. Some women can only afford to volunteer a little of
their time, some ball their time, and none of them are making
any promise to help, except as they can; but the government
will know those of its women among whom to seek for assist
ance when it needs assistance the most.—Tacoma News.
-:o:
(taunt old General Hunger seems to be making great head
way with his spring drive. “England Faces Famine” is one
headline, “Thousands Starving in Constantinople” is another.
-:o:
Congressmen spending valuable time discussing the army
bill may give a striking refutation to the old saw, “talk is
cheap.”
-:o:
\V hv not get up at dawn, go to bed at sunset, scratch
gravel, save daylight and cluck like a hen?
-:o:
Congress is in danger of making “muddling through'* au
apt phrase in the United States.
