UNDESIRABLE AND ALIEN.
Congress has lifted up its wan
of power, and passed a law whicl
will bar out a motley mob of inim
ical aliens, waiting in every port ii
Europe to descend upon this coun
try. Bolshevists and anarchists
free-lovers and fanatics, half-brainei
agitators, unable to be heard in thi
din of industry in reconstructed Eu
rope, have been looking to Americs
as a long of gulls and gold.
It is well enough to shut from oui
ports anyone who may contaminate
these ports or this soil, comments
the editor of Ford’s International
Weekly. And it is wise to be sus
picious that our late enemies would
rejoice to thrust upon us hundreds
of men and women who would work
to distract and divide our people,
and in some way wreck both our
prosperity and our peace.
But—while we are shutting out
incarnate undesirables from the door,
let us also be sure we are not
cultivating undesirableness in the
sitting-room. We should be sure we
are not cultivating it in our hearts
or in our shops or in our churches.
The unwashed alien who comes
to us with pictures of Bolshevik
looters worn next to his maddened
heart, is an alien indeed. He is
strange and hostile to our institu
tions and our liberties.
But the man of American birth,
of American wealth, who so treats
his foreign employes that they re
gard all employers as enemies—that
employer is also alien, even though
he is native-born. The politician who
corrupts our government at its foun
tain, the business man who sells
shoddy for silk or grinds the poor
to make pennies, these newspaper
which serves private interest- in
stead of the public good, these are
quite as hostile to our institutions
and liberties as the latest-arrived
Russian radical.
Not all of us are alien. Not all
of us are undesirable. Not all for
eigners are undesirable aliens. But
let us never forget, if we do the
smallest thing contrary to the best
interests of our country and our
countrymen, we are serving the
cause of unknown enemies. Native
born though we may be, we are in
spirit alien and undesirable, and the
stranger from Mars would find a
true American not in us, but in
some man of alien birth who has
acquired a true American heart.
HELPING POLAND.
Clothing for babies, made by Am
erican women in all parts of the
United States, filled an entire car
in a large trainload of Red Cross
relief supplies which recently left
Paris for Poland. Other important
items which made up the 50-car
relief special were refugee clothes
and hospital garments, foodstuffs,
medicine, hospital supplies, and farm
machinery.
Aid to orphanages and children’s
homes is an ever-increasing activity
of the Americans in Poland. At
many points along the old Russo
German front, east of the River
Bug, where the country was swept
s
• bare of everything, they have fur
l nished equipment, food and clothing
l, to help the Poles establish orphans’
1 j homes, to care for the lost children
■ j who are constantly drifting across
1,' the border with refugees returning
'ifrom Russia.
!
’ j Existing orphanages which have
, been found sadly in need of food
' | and clothing to care for their charg
i es have received condensed milk and
j other food supplies, and children’s
| garments and dress material. In
' some districts the Americans have
, hired carpenters, paying them with
; flour, to make little beds, benches
| and tables for children’s homes that
!had been stripped by the war.
j In other places local sewing cir
jcles have been started, making over
i badly worn garments that have been
j collected in the United States, into
j children’s clothing. Odds and ends
i of materia! found in bales of refu
, gee clothing have been similarly
j used for the children. The burlap
which formed the bales themselves:
is made over into bed sacks for the
children’s beds.
WILSON AND GOOD ROADS.
i The need of doing everything,
'possible to promote production along
economical lines, to improve mar
keting and to make rural life more
jattractive and healthful, is obvious,
■President Wilson pointed out in his
message to Congress at the com
mencement of the regular session
.last month. 1 would urge approval
of the plans already proposed to the
Congress by the secretary of agri
culture, to secure the essential facts
required for the study of this ques
tion, through the proposed enlarged
programs for farm management
studies and crop estimates.
I would urge, also, the continu
ance of federal participation in the
building of good roads, under the
(terms of existing laws and under
the direction of present agencies;
the need of further action on the
part of states and the Federal Gov
ernment to preserve and develop
our forest reservoirs and supply
through the practice of better for
estry methods on private holdings
and the extension of the publicly-'
owned forests; better support of
country schools and the more defi
nite direction of their courses of
study along the lines related
to
rural problems; and fuller provi
jsion for sanitation in rural districts
.'and the building up of needed hos
ipital and medical facilities in these
localities.
BRITISH PRELATE IS
WORRIED OVER BIRTHS
_
LEICESTER, Eng.—The declining
, birth rate in England is attracting
‘the attention of many thoughtful
jmen. The Bishop of Birmingham
ideclared at a recent church con
igress here that “it was the duty of 1
jthe church to encourage child-bear
ing, for the need of the nation was
nowhere greater than for the in- *
creased production of healthy chil-**
dren." *

j BERLIN.—A series of telegrams
alleged to have been sent in the
early stages of the war by the then
German Crown Prince Frederick, to
the emperor, the imperial chancel
lor, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg,
Count Ernst von Reventlow, editori
al writer of the Tages-Zeitung, and
others, containing criticisms of men
and events, is published by the Vor
waerts.
In February, 1915, the crown
prince is said by the newspaper to
have wired to the chancellor, ex
pressing disapproval of an editorial
in the North German Gazette dis
cussing the war aims. He also ex
pressed disgust with Professor Hans
Delbrueck, of the University of
Berlin, and others whom he desig
nated as “recluse idiots.” Del
brueck especially appears to have
tried sortly the patience of the im
perial heir, who, under date of De
cember 20, 1914, wired his father
as follows:
“Professor Delbrueck, of Berlin,
has written an unheard of article
in the Prussian yearbook in which
he displays the most vulgar and
most unpatriotic sentiments. I ur
gently beg you to remove this fel
low from the university. If he has
influential friends in higher civilian
alter the case."
The Vorwaerts expresses the be
lef that Delbrueck, whom the paper
describes as “Bethmann’s intellectu
al paladin, a man who was pious
in his devotion to the Hohenzol
lems,” will be surprised and amused
when he learns of the proposed
Christmas gift the crown prince had 1
in store for him five years ago.
In a message to Reventlow the
:rown prince complimented the Pan
German editor for his rebuke to
Editor Zimmerman, of the Lokal
Ar.zeiger, who, early in 1915, ven
tured to discuss war aims. That
same day the Hohenzollern scion
telegraphed to August Scherl, editor
t>f the Lokal Anzeiger, thus:
“I regret exceedingly that your
sditor, Zimmerman, has been allowed
to write such nonsense. All of us
recognize only one war-aim: ‘Down
with England’/’ '
The \ orwaerts states that the
.•rown prince apparently inherited
from his sire not only the “gift of
jab.” but also a fondness for tele
rraphing. The paper concludes.
“With such pleasantries this army
eader and dangler after petticoats
imused himself before the enemy.”

NEW YORK. — Regular pistol
