TROOPS TO FRANCE
By order of the president, General Pershing will lend an ox
peditioarn force of 25,000 regular army soldiers into France as
soon as he can prepare them and arrange transports. Within
a short time the American flag will he on the fighting line, and
her soldiery actually participating in the great world war.
The thought of it is horrible. Yet through one’s tears
there springs the hope that out of the supreme sacrifice which
their government requires these brave men to make, there shall
flower a new American spirit, a diviner reverence for republi
can fundamentals, and a perfecter love for the freedom which
is ours.
Perhaps our example brilliantly may light the way so that
the sordidness of European politics, the geographic boundaries
blood red with the tragedies of selfish generations, the hateful
rivalries of money-changers and the poisoned tariffs of an un
mitigated industrial strife, shall be purified; perhaps what we
maintain is an utterly unselfish crusade in democracy’s behalf
shall illuminate for Europe and the world some truer way to
the righteous salvation of states and individuals, and embrazon
upon the glorious shield of the American republic a new pledge
of devotion to the ideals of the mass and to a truer culture to
which the meanness of money-jingling and snobbery shall be
unknown.
Unless we enrich the spiritual life of the world by this pro
cedure, it is a vain and murderous sacrifice, and no sane man
should be permitted to utter one syllable of boasting over the
profits he is making from it. What a grievous savagery is on
veloped in that state of mind which gloats over profit making
—a profit taking which in reality runs in agony from the alter
ies of our neighbor’s sons!

“POTATRIOTISM” NOT ENOUGH
George W. Anderson, United States attorney in Boston, re
pressed nothing when he spoke before the house agricultural
committee in Washington recently, but predicted, in easily
understood English that unless the government takes a hand
in the food situation, “there will be a phenomena in America
inconsistent with law and order.”
There’s no use trying to wool this question over with se
cretive language, nor defer action by uttering optimistic pro
phecies. The present and immediate future have to be dealt
with and the sybil on her tripod offers no solace.
The food situation may affect the whole army progran
here at home. The problem is one that will not be settled by
kitchen gardens and “potatriotism” alone. Speculation and
hoarding must be dealt with.
-:o;
San Francisco, which has been making five cuts of pie
hereafter will make nine, so that a pie which retailed, disjoint
ed, at 25 or 50 cents, owing to the brand of china upon which it
was served, now will sell for 45 or 90 cents. Thus pie, notwith
standing its career of tragedy, double dealing, heartache am
ingratitude, assumes a position in the world quite equal to that
of shortcake and chocolate blanc monge, which is one of the
regrettable denouements of war. But the diminished slab car
ries a diminished charge of woe, which is a compensation, and
not many will buy two cuts where they bought one before
World welfare would not be injured were pie to go to $1?
a cut.

The Seattle Labor Council lias severed relations with tin
T. W. W. This is what union labor must do, and will do.
wherever it has undertaken friendly participation with the
radical body. The I. W. W. lives too far from the law, too close
to criminality, too intimately with roving shiftlessness and ir
responsibility for sane unionism’s sociable and business atten
tion. It is a reminder of the desert Bedouins—here today
there tomorrow, vengeful, unthinking and surprising in its
quick and unreasoning onslaughts. Its vision is narrowed by
useless hatreds. Active and intelligent union labor leaders
everywhere recognize it as a menace to their cause and to order
ly government.
-:o:—:
The American soldier will receive, under the new law, as
much in a day as a Russian soldier receives in a month, but il
should be remembered that American clothing and American
spuds are cheaper in Russia than they are in America. We hav<
to pay ourselves handsomely in the United States in order t<
compensate ourselves for the various methods by which wt
pennit ourselves to be gouged.

Four New York editors have struck for higher—wages
Even the lowliest worm will turn in time. The editor, tliougl
noted for shear patience, cannot, like the cockroach in his desk
live on paste. No, Elizabeth, a diet of gum tragacanth alont
will lead irrevocably to glum tragedy’.
-:o:
Some of the observers of distant bodies profess to be mud
interested in a race between Turkey and Russia to the bone
yard. Seems to be a question whose feet are growing tin
colder. Thoughts of that warm water port ought to help drivi
the chill away.
-:o;
An oil shortage within five or ten years is predicted. By
a simple process of deduction it is assumed that the period re
ferred to will witness the marvelous upbuilding of Chicago Uni
versify and a few other notable institutions.
-,-;o:
Among many other things for which we ought to fall upoi
our patellae in grateful obeisance is the fact that we don’t have
to remorize the names of the new Russian cabinet.
-;o:
If accounts are true, the Germans suffered as serious a do
feat at Petrograd as they did at Bullecourt and Roeux.
-;o:
Early to rise and late to bed will be the program if congress
puts through that daylight saving plan.
