So Germany is now being made "safe for democracy" under the astute stage management of Potsdam's All Highest. A little kow¬ towing to the majesty of the people, a kindly rapprochement between the new leading man, "Vox Populi, Vox Dei," and the old favorite of a hundred seasons, "Ich und Gott," a few Max Reinhardt lights and shadings.and those who want to think so can easily persuade themselves that Germany has been lib- eralized, parliamentarized and democ- ratized in spite of herself. in his letter accepting von Hertling's resignation as Chancellor the All High- est called loudly for a new order of statesmen."men who have been borne up by the people's trust." Borne up, that is to say. by and out of the masses whose negligible political status they have hith- erto shared. One of them, apparently, has already come to the front. He is the new Chancellor, Prince Maximilian of Baden, the heir of the reigning Grand Duke. Prince Max has interested himself, in an extra-official way, in the humane treatment of prisoners of war. He has also personally favored the restoration of Belgium. He seems to lack something of the ferocity and arrogance which are t he hallmarks of the modern shepherds of the German flock. So he fits into the stage picture of Germany turning away from Kaiserism and Kultur and putting her destiny into the hands of men who are akin to the humble and are upborne by their love and trust. How can the Allies any longer say evil things of Hohenzollernism when it gives the post held by Bethmann-Hollweg and von Hertling to this blameless South German prince? How can they question Germany's honor and good faith now that the Prussian Herrenhaus has at last yielded its opposition to giving every Prussian under fifty who can qualify for suffrage an equal and direct vote? At present those who vote in Prussia are divided into three classes. Each class has equal power in an electoral college which chooses Deputies, so that the minute minority in the two higher classes overbalances the great majority in the lowest class. Once the Kaiser concedes his subjects equality in the election of members of the straitjacketed lower branch of the Prussian Diet, who can ever say again that Germany has not joined the ranks of the free nations and that the people's will is not her supreme law? Germany, we also hear, is going to have an Imperial Cabinet appointed from the membership of the Reichstag and re¬ sponsible to that innocuous debating soci¬ ety. The Reichstag is a spare wheel in the German governmental machine. The Kaiser and the Federal Council furnish all the momentum. They will continue to furnish it. Yet when the All Highest gathers about him in his Cabinet a few pale Radicals, sycophantic Majority So¬ cialists and noisy Clericals of the Erz- berger type he will be ready to boast that Germany has already achieved a "place in the sun" alongside the liberal democracies of Western Europe. Yet it will be the same old Germany under all these ingratiating disguises. So long as Prussia is tied up to the Hohen- zollerns it doesn't matter who is Chan¬ cellor, who votes in Prussia or who sits in the Imperial Cabinet. All will still be servants under the rod of a taskmaster who bas no doubt that he derives his authority exclusively from on high. The word of the German government will still be without meaning; its pledges will still be a mockery. The Kaiser owns no ac¬ countability to any earthly tribunal. legal or moral. In him the evil genius of Germany is embodied. And we are war¬ ring primarily against that evil genius. Camouflage it as he may, it is his power which the Allied nations have banded together to destroy. And until it is destroyed and he and his dynasty are relegated to outer darkness there can be no genuine peace in tho world. Et Tu, Brute The re was still one spot.one damned .-not. .Neither the purity of Brisbane's Style reformed nor the advertised patri¬ otism of German-American brewers at »od transient space .rates could wipe it out. There was still the spot. "The brush! Quick, the brush!" the camou- fleur calls. And upon the page that has been the editorial citadel of light wines and beers is written this saintly picture: "Tho saloon should be closed -it is n pity that the closure cannot be imme¬ diately imposed.and upon the sito of every saloon should be built, a home, or a school, or a church to ntonc far as possible for the ovil work which the t-aloon bas done in its dny. "The manufacture of whiskey nnd other «itronp; distill- d alcoholic drinks, already prohibited fo the period of the war, should be suppressed for all time to come. And the manufacture of even the milder form of alcoholic drink can be profitably nnd properly prohibited during the war period and until a fair test can bo made of the efficiency of total prohibition." That is from Hearst's New York Anwr- itan yesterday. But whence comes that sad, defeated voice which seems to say: "Ach, Gott! Du auch, Hearst?" Our General That warm spot which American hearts have always felt for France has grown with every week of the war. It was undoubtedly the prime cause of our welcome acceptance of unity of command under French leadership. But there was also an intellectual sympathy, we think, with the French point of view which helped greatly. We. have much of the English practicality in our make¬ up. Wc have not less liking for the clear rationalism of the French mind. So it is that we have come swiftly to feel not only that Marshal Foch is a great general, but that he is even more, our general. We have heard no faintest word of national jealousy or envy from any American, soldier or civilian. Our men in France are as glad and proud to fight under the great Marshal as we are glad to have them. Not only his success, beyond all expectations, is responsible for this. There is a clearness of line, a swiftness of stroke, in the workings of j the F¿och genius that appeals strongly to the American mind. Our national way is different; it lacks the finish and (shall We say, even in war?) beauty of the French process. But it has something of the same bigness and sweep and devo¬ tion to the idea as against the particular fact. By all means let America confer her citizenship upon General Foch, as Mr. Hamilton Holt has happily suggested. He is ours by right of the affection and admiration in our hearts. He is ours by right of the joint sacrifice on French soil of the blood of the two great republics. Already by his service he is de facto citizen of the world.of all that portion of it which is fighting the battle of civilization. Let us welcome the oppor¬ tunity to ratify fate. The Wounded Marines The argument that a wounded soldier makes for the Liberty Loan is as lin- answerable as a machine gun bullet. It is complete before a sound is uttered. Most Americans wish only to shake hands.before they hurry off to sub- scribe. I That is why the wounded marines of Belleau Wood.now Bois de la Brigade des Marins Américains.were the best j pleaders for the loan in the city this week. If there is any false, squeamish- ness about seeing a wounded soldier any- where, the sooner it is recovered from the better. We shall have many of them. And by the new wisdom in the treatment I of injured humans they are to be active and useful members for the rest of their lives.with a little extra honor and good wrill to the end. That honor has already begun. The cheers for our marines were heartfelt and long. So, ! too, were, the bond subscriptions in their wake. j We won't go through the form of put- j ting in words the argument that these 1 men made wherever they appeared. But .have you made your sacrifice in the name of the wounded American soldiers? What Are the War's "Real Costs" ? It is a long time since we have heard very much about the "economic exhaus¬ tion" that was to bring a speedy end to modern wars. The plain facts appear to be that the burdens of this gigantic war are not relatively greater than were those of previous wars of like duration. In other words, the effort is very roughly proportional to the capacity, or, if you please, the actual "war power." We know now thht the war effort can- not be measured in dollars or in pounds sterling. If it could, then the "exhaus- tionists" would have been right and the war could never have continued as long as it has. But it is obvious that a nation cannot spend one hundred per cent of its income on war and go on living. Yet this is exactly what England, for ex- ample, has seemed to be doing. At the beginning of the war its estimated an- nual income was around eleven billions of our money. Its actual war disburse- ments this year will considerably exceed this. Yet the nation is well fed and, on the whole, prosperous. To do away with this apparent contra¬ diction in terms, Professor Pigou, of Ox- ! ford, has proposed a definition of "the war's real costs." Those costs, says Pro- fessor Pigou, are measured by "the things we do without"; in other words, I by the sacrifices we make. This has in- teresting implications for our immediate task over here.that is, raising the largest war loan in history. A great many people doubtless measure their ability to subscribe for bonds by their current surplus at the bank. They do not consider what they may eaerifice in their expenditures. So far as the war needs of the nation are concerned, the one is just as important as the other. A dollar taken from tjat feftjjl and given to the government may bo a dollar deflected from some rather useless em¬ ployment. But that is merely a guess. A dollar saved from current expenditure means a dollar less in Hie millions of million.-; of dollars that are bidding for goods and comforts and luxuries against, the government. If tens of millions of people save these dollars of needless ex¬ penditure the effect is tremendous. In the aggregate it means billions less of money bidding against the government's billions, to make the war cost twice, and possibly three times, as much as it other¬ wise might. This is the real meaning of buying bonds with savings as against buying with surplus funds. The great majority of the three or four millions who are to go to France make serious sacrifices in their incomes and prospects. It is up to the hundred million or more who remain at home to try to do as much. And such sacrifices are in reality only shrewd an¬ ticipation, for the plain fact is that if we do not make these sacrifices now we shall pay the bill later, from our incomes, in the added cost of the war. For a statesman who hau been accel¬ erating in so many ways the conduct of the world's greatest war Edwin S. Harris, chairman of the. New York Democratic State Committee, has recently been ex¬ hibiting strangely pacifistic tendencies. He doesn't want to drop his office for reasons which seem good to the Demo¬ cratic nominee for Governor. Yet ho hesitates to fight the issue out to a finish with his critics and his fellow committee- men. An unyielding consciousness of well-doing in a world of pitfalls should react with a little, more militaristic vigor. It should be made of sterner stuff. Damascus and After By Frank H. Simonds Copyriyhi, l!tl8, New York Tribune Inc. THE struggle for Northern France and Belgium and the astounding change in the Balkan situation have served to distract attention from the very great events in Asia Minor and in Syria; yet it is hardly too much to say that the consequences of Allenby's vic¬ tory in Palestine may include the great¬ est revolution in five centuries in West¬ ern Asia. On the military side it is clear that the British victory north of Jerusalem, fol¬ lowed by a vigorous exploitation of that victory, has resulted in the clearing of a large section of Syria and the comple¬ tion of the conquest of Palestine. Da¬ mascus has fallen. Beirut is certain to be in Allied hands within a few days, and the British are sweeping north along the Aleppo-Damascus railway. All or¬ ganized Turkish military force in Syria has disappeared, and the problems of the British commander aro those of trans¬ port rather than of strategy. As it stands, Allenby at Damascus if about two hundred miles south of Aleppo with a clear road before him. Alreadj the situation of the Turkish forces ir Mesopotamia has become dangerous, am it is a matter of life and death for then to retire over the Bagdad railway fron Mosul to Aleppo before Allenby gets U the latter city and thus cuts their onh line of communications by rail or b: decent road with Anatolia and Con stantinople. In the next few weeks, therefore, wi are to see a rapid change in the East The British army which captured Bag dad will push north and west along tlv railway and the Tigris and Euphrate valleys to a junction with Allenby abou Aleppo. The Turkish army will have t retire to and beyond Aleppo, and cai hardly hopes to stand until it reaches th country north of the Gulf of Alexan dretta, where Alexander the Great wo I j famous victory of Issus. This means that Palestine, Syria, Me.' opotanaia and the Arabian littoral ar lost to the Turk. It means more: at las the Turkish domination of the Arabia world has come to an end, and with th political goes the religious authority The Osmanli have now lost all the hoi cities of the Mahometan world. Mece and Medina are in the hands of an Ara sovereign, recognized by the Allies undc the title of the King of the Hedjaz. When the war is over Syria, Mesopi tamia, Palestine and the remainder of tl Arab provinces of the Turk will be di iinitively separated from the Turkis Empire. But there remains the problei of Armenia, and when the British armii have reached Mosul they will be able t send troops north to Diarbekr, Kharpi and even to Erzerum. Thus, in a vei real sense Allenby's victory has alreac insured the liberation of both the Ar; bian and Armenian peoples. At no di tant date we may hope to see the Tui thrown back into his own proper land those of Anatolia, peopled mainly t Osmanli. And the changes taking place in Wes ern Asia are likely to endure. The liqi dation of the Turkish estate in Euro] has been a long, difficult, dangeroi process. But the liquidation of the Tu kish estate in Asia promises to be a f simpler task, accomplished, as so often history, as the result of u single treme dous military success. But we are all of us more interest in the German than in the Turkish 6 ! pect. The Germans planned te domina Turkey, to control the Mahometan woi through their control of Turkey and exploit the religious fanaticism of 30 000,000 Mahometans to their own pro! The Bagdad railway was to give t German-controlled Turkish Empire j litical and economic unity and to enal the Germans to carry Turkish armii commanded by Prussian officers, to t frontiers of Egypt and of India. Gi man dreamers saw in the plan thus oi A DISORDERLY RETREAT lined the foundation of a German su- premacy in Western Asia and in North¬ ern Africa. The pathway of Alexander the Great was to be reopened for Will¬ iam II. The dream has vanished. German communication with Turkey has been doomed by Bulgaria's collapse. Mittel¬ europa, which two years ago extended from the Baltic Sea to Bagdad, is already being thrown back behind the Danube, and the recession is now certain to ex- tend much further. But with Germany separated from Turkey it remains neces¬ sary to deal with Turkey now and for the future, that there may be no return of the German to Asia Minor. In this situation it is not as simple for the Turk to make peace as it was for the Bulgar. Bulgarians know that they must sacrifice Serb, Greek and Ruma nian conquests, but would expect to retain Bulgarian lands. The Turk, on the con trary, can expect to save relatively little of bis still great empire. Not imperial- I ist it- ambitions on the part of his ene- mies, but the crimes o\' the Turk against his subject people, have determined Allied policy. In a very real sense, therefore, Allen¬ by's victory promises to prove one of the momentous events of Western Asiatic history, and already as an immediate' consequence a great empire is crumbling lie fore our eyes. A New Rifle Range To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: The great new navy riñe range on the Great Piece Meadows at Caldwell, N. !.. is now open. The range affords opportuni¬ ties and facilities for rifle practice abso- lately unprecedented in this part of the country. Tu quote from the official orders of the Navy Department governing the conduct of all navy rifle ranges, of which Caldwell range is our : "It is the desire of the Navy Department to cooperate Lo the fullest extent, possible with its facilities in carrying out the pro¬ visions of Section 113 of the national de¬ fence act, approved June -'!, 19)6, requiring that al! ranges which may have been con- structed in whole or in part with funds pro¬ vided by Congress shall be open for use by those in any branch of the military and naval service, and by able-bodied male eltl- zens capable of bearing arms." This range will be "open to troops of the, army, state troops and all able-bodied male citizens capable of bearing arms, especially those about to be called into the service of the United States." The officers in charge uf the range espe- cially desire that a systematic effort be made to senil to the range every possible man who is registered and about to ^o into Federal service-. They will give every such man as much instruction in rifle, pistol and machine gun shooting as he will give the time to take. No greater service con be rendered by your organization at the pres¬ ent critical time than to take immediate and energetic action with a view to sending every possible registrant, in organized bodies or as individuals, to this range, that he may learn to shoot, the service arms be¬ fore beinp: calle,1 to the colors. Barracks and mattresses are provided. Every man remaining over night must take his own blankets, and is advised to wear a uniform or old clothes end to take a poncho to use when shooting prone. Meals will be furnished at the navy mess at 23 cents each, or 50 cents per day.payment cash. The range is equipped with rifles (Spring¬ field and Enfield), pistols and machine guns (several types i, all of which are available for use by transients practising at the range. The range has a supply of ammuni¬ tion, and it is not necessary for visiting parties to bring ammunition. The perma¬ nent ranpe force provides an instructor or coach at each tiring point. Machine pun schools for special ínstruc- tion of men as machine gun operators will I bo conducted. Men will be entered in these In Hearstless Nevada The Nevada Stale Council of Defence has barred all Hearst 'publi¬ cations from circulation. A ftertuard the following statement icas issued' By H. A. Lemmon Director Nevada Stale Council oj Defenct IT APPEARS to be Mr. Hearst's intention to flood Nevada with circular letters containing among other things this pathetic appeal : "The State Council of Defence . . knowingly or maliciously has used its great power to hurt an innocent man, or else has suddenly become blinded to the facts, and on the strength of hearsay or paid propaganda does .Air. Hearst and his paper a great injustice." And then again, in another appeal, which I assume he will distribute, declared that the opposition to his publications may be due to the big interests, which do not ap¬ prove- of his policy of public ownership, abolition of booze, clean politics, better wages and hours, etc., etc. The man who wrote the stuiT is either a liar or an idiot, and the cleverness of it eliminates the lat¬ ter hypothesis from my mind. Above all, Mr. Hearst now desires to be judged only by his editorial utterances since the United States has been in the war, but cries "King's Ex." on anything that went on before. Compelled to Kiss the Flag Mr. Hearst is in the position precisely of the detected pro-German who is compelled by a delegation of outraged citizens to kiss the American flag. He is vociferous in his suddenly acquired loyalty, but many of us will still persist in judging his character and heart from what he said and did previous to last May, when the new espion¬ age law into operation. It is trite to say that we are fighting for an idea.or, to put it in another form, to destroy an idea. England and France and Cnnada long since prohibited the circula¬ tion of the Hearst newspapers in their do¬ mains. Likewise they denied his corre¬ spondents the right to use the cables. Such was the attitude of our allies, giving of their lifeblond to a cause for the support of which we have pledged our last dollar arid our last man. However, it is but fair to Mr. Hearst to state that the belligerent nations are not of one mind. The Kaiser spoke very highly of Mr. Hearst to Mr. Davis and character¬ ized the Hearst, nawspapers as the only "fair paper» in America." Bolo Pacha testified also for Mr. Hearst, and in an eulocv of him dilates uun the peculiar characteristics of his idol which would most probably appeal to a convicted and later-to-be-executed traitor like Bolo. Kaiser, Bolo And Hearst So we have the Kaiser, Bolo Pacha and Hearst on one side, and England, Canada and France on the other. The vote hardly stands three to three. Just previous to our entrance into this war- but at a time when it was plain to Mr. Hearst that we would be in it Mr. Hearst, in speaking of the President of the tinted States, said: "If this country is going into war we don't want a schoolmaster in the White House; . we want a commander in chief who knows his business, and not a vacillating, incompetent who doesn't know cither his business or his own mind." If President Wilson was a "vacillating in¬ competent" a bit over a year ago, he must still be so in Mr. Hearst's mind. Mr. Wil¬ son hasn't changed. Over his own signature Mr. Hearst Justi¬ ne.! the sinking of the Lusitania, which murderous act embraces one of the funda¬ mental purposes for which we went to war -.¦ h < ¡ermany. Germany was very anxious to stir up trouble between the United States and Japan. Has any American forgotten how assiduously Hearst lent the power of his journals for this purpose? Since We Have Been at War But then it isn't necessary to speak of the days before the United States entered this conflict. If constant readers and loyal ones.of "The Examiner" and other Hearst publications.are not aware of the fact that their opinions and their reason are still be¬ ing undermined that fact is the best possi¬ ble proof of the extreme peril which lurks in these organs. Since we have been at war" Hearst has opposed our programme of sending men, food and supplies to assist our allies and called upon Congress to prevent it (April II). President Wilson has most nobly pictured the reasons we are in this war. Mr. Hearst throws the falsehood in President Wilson's teeth by asserting that "the pain¬ ful truth is that we are being practically used as a mere reinforcement of England's future aggrandizement" (April 24), and again on March 23, "This proposition that we shall finance the Allies and send our boys for cannon fodder is a Wall Street proposition and nothing else." Mr. Hearst is not alone in this opinion. Every unhung 1. W. W. and every other form of traitor still at large in the United States is even now preaching from this same text. Slurs Upon the Great Undertaking Since we have been at war Hearst has lent the power of his publications to at¬ tacking our motive in entering it; to at¬ tacks -on our allies, with whom we have cast our fortune and our future existence. One of the outstanding features of the war, in so far as America's entrance, is con¬ cerned, is the selective draft. Is there a true American who is not proud of it? I think not. Yet on June 20 Mr. Hearst said: "Further service, in the war should be a matter of choice for Americans. . These papers have said consistently and will continue to maintain that the Ameri¬ can soldiers who go to France should go as volunteer;«, and not as conscripted men sent by the will of government." How heartily the German staff must echo thut though¦ We had a meeting in Reno yesterday, a war conférence; we are proud of the worli of our bed Cross and its self-sacrificing members. What do they think of the Americanism of a man who will publish, "When those men come heme and find what has been done in their absence they are apt. to make life disagreeable and unsafe for the eminent Red Cross. Y. M. C. A., Wall Street thieves that have been making hay while war lasted and robbing democ¬ racy"? (last July When That Time Comes Under no circumstance:, must any f >rm of propaganda be tolerated which will tend -1 tu weaken the hands of the President at the final peace table, and yet Mr. Hearst. since we have been at war.has repeatedly and offensively sought to discredit the basic principle underlying every one of them. Possibly that is why the Council of De¬ fence saysc it cannot trust him. Possibly they fee! that should this war continue for a term of years suffering and sacrifice may obscure our vision; may dull our finer sense of justice; may lessen our eagerness to reach the glorious goal we have set for ourselves. When that '¡me comes the soil will be fallow for just such insidious undermining of our determina¬ tion as Hearst hus proved himself master of, and it is reasonable to assume that his future course will be charted y h and present one. When that time comes it is reasonable to believe that thr I. W. W.'s. the English haters, the open or secret pro- Germans, the Non-Partisan League and every other un-American and pro-German force will be led by the twelve great daily newspapers and the seven magaz.ines pub¬ lished by William Randolph Hearst. Then will come the true test of our dem^-racy and of our spirit, and it will be America's enemies at home who must be defeated first of «11. The more we fight them less we will have to fight them later In the Matter Of Brisbane In the circular \'\:¡\' ¦. li.-arst is distributing in N< peal editor, Arthur Brisbane, and B'l \vork for the government. Mr. Hi not alone in his enthusiasm over Mr. Bris¬ bane's talents. The "Kölinsche Zeitung-' of Berlin say., thai Mi.

All men while at the range are under the command of the commanding officer of the range and subject to his authority. The range is situated about four miles from Caldwell, X. J., about twenty miles from City Hall, New York, and about four¬ teen miles from Park Square, Newark. It may be reached most easily by the Erie Railroad, Greenwood Lake division, Cald¬ well branch; by the Public Service trolley from Newark to Caldwell, jitney 'bus ser¬ vice from Caldwell to the range, or by auto¬ mobile. Complete information as to routes, rates, time tables, etc., will be furnished by Daniel DeV. Harned, chairman transporta¬ tion committee of the Associated Rifle Clubs, 154 Nassau Street; telephone, 5460 Beekman. In battle a man's best friend is his rifle. Let us do our part in teaching him to use it. There will be a public opening of the range on Saturday, October 5, all day, with interesting exhibition» by the permanent navy range forces. Everybody is welcome to give the largest rifle range in the world a great send-off. WALTER G. LIBBY, Secretary, Associated Rifle Clubs of N. Y. and N. J. New York, Oct. 2, 1918.

Stooping to "Democracy"The Kaiser-, too, is willing to pay a

gentleman's price for peace. So Germanyis now being made "safe for democracy"under the astute stage management ofPotsdam's All Highest. A little kow¬towing to the majesty of the people, a

kindly rapprochement between the new

leading man, "Vox Populi, Vox Dei," andthe old favorite of a hundred seasons,"Ich und Gott," a few Max Reinhardtlights and shadings.and those whowant to think so can easily persuadethemselves that Germany has been lib-eralized, parliamentarized and democ-ratized in spite of herself.

in his letter accepting von Hertling'sresignation as Chancellor the All High-est called loudly for a new order ofstatesmen."men who have been borneup by the people's trust." Borne up, thatis to say. by and out of the masses whosenegligible political status they have hith-erto shared. One of them, apparently,has already come to the front. He is thenew Chancellor, Prince Maximilian ofBaden, the heir of the reigning GrandDuke.

Prince Max has interested himself, inan extra-official way, in the humanetreatment of prisoners of war. He hasalso personally favored the restorationof Belgium. He seems to lack somethingof the ferocity and arrogance which are

t he hallmarks of the modern shepherdsof the German flock. So he fits into thestage picture of Germany turning awayfrom Kaiserism and Kultur and puttingher destiny into the hands of men whoare akin to the humble and are upborneby their love and trust.How can the Allies any longer say evil

things of Hohenzollernism when it givesthe post held by Bethmann-Hollweg andvon Hertling to this blameless SouthGerman prince? How can they questionGermany's honor and good faith nowthat the Prussian Herrenhaus has atlast yielded its opposition to giving everyPrussian under fifty who can qualify forsuffrage an equal and direct vote? Atpresent those who vote in Prussia are

divided into three classes. Each classhas equal power in an electoral collegewhich chooses Deputies, so that theminute minority in the two higher classesoverbalances the great majority in thelowest class. Once the Kaiser concedeshis subjects equality in the election ofmembers of the straitjacketed lowerbranch of the Prussian Diet, who canever say again that Germany has notjoined the ranks of the free nations andthat the people's will is not her supremelaw?Germany, we also hear, is going to

have an Imperial Cabinet appointed fromthe membership of the Reichstag and re¬

sponsible to that innocuous debating soci¬ety. The Reichstag is a spare wheel inthe German governmental machine. TheKaiser and the Federal Council furnishall the momentum. They will continueto furnish it. Yet when the All Highestgathers about him in his Cabinet a fewpale Radicals, sycophantic Majority So¬cialists and noisy Clericals of the Erz-berger type he will be ready to boastthat Germany has already achieved a

"place in the sun" alongside the liberaldemocracies of Western Europe.

Yet it will be the same old Germanyunder all these ingratiating disguises. Solong as Prussia is tied up to the Hohen-zollerns it doesn't matter who is Chan¬cellor, who votes in Prussia or who sitsin the Imperial Cabinet. All will still beservants under the rod of a taskmasterwho bas no doubt that he derives hisauthority exclusively from on high. Theword of the German government will stillbe without meaning; its pledges will stillbe a mockery. The Kaiser owns no ac¬

countability to any earthly tribunal.legal or moral. In him the evil genius ofGermany is embodied. And we are war¬

ring primarily against that evil genius.Camouflage it as he may, it is his

power which the Allied nations havebanded together to destroy. And until itis destroyed and he and his dynasty are

relegated to outer darkness there can beno genuine peace in tho world.

Et Tu, BruteThe re was still one spot.one damned

.-not. .Neither the purity of Brisbane'sStyle reformed nor the advertised patri¬otism of German-American brewers at

»od transient space .rates could wipe itout. There was still the spot. "The

brush! Quick, the brush!" the camou-fleur calls. And upon the page that hasbeen the editorial citadel of light winesand beers is written this saintly picture:

"Tho saloon should be closed -it is n

pity that the closure cannot be imme¬diately imposed.and upon the sito ofevery saloon should be built, a home, or a

school, or a church to ntonc n» far as

possible for the ovil work which thet-aloon bas done in its dny."The manufacture of whiskey nnd other

«itronp; distill- d alcoholic drinks, alreadyprohibited fo the period of the war,should be suppressed for all time to come.And the manufacture of even the milderform of alcoholic drink can be profitablynnd properly prohibited during the war

period and until a fair test can bo madeof the efficiency of total prohibition."That is from Hearst's New York Anwr-

itan yesterday.But whence comes that sad, defeated

voice which seems to say: "Ach, Gott!Du auch, Hearst?"

Our GeneralThat warm spot which American

hearts have always felt for France hasgrown with every week of the war. Itwas undoubtedly the prime cause ofour welcome acceptance of unity ofcommand under French leadership. Butthere was also an intellectual sympathy,we think, with the French point of viewwhich helped greatly. We. have muchof the English practicality in our make¬up. Wc have not less liking for theclear rationalism of the French mind.

So it is that we have come swiftly tofeel not only that Marshal Foch is a

great general, but that he is even more,our general. We have heard no faintestword of national jealousy or envy fromany American, soldier or civilian. Ourmen in France are as glad and proud tofight under the great Marshal as we are

glad to have them. Not only his success,beyond all expectations, is responsiblefor this. There is a clearness of line, a

swiftness of stroke, in the workings of jthe F¿och genius that appeals strongly tothe American mind. Our national wayis different; it lacks the finish and (shallWe say, even in war?) beauty of theFrench process. But it has something ofthe same bigness and sweep and devo¬tion to the idea as against the particularfact.By all means let America confer her

citizenship upon General Foch, as Mr.Hamilton Holt has happily suggested.He is ours by right of the affection andadmiration in our hearts. He is ours byright of the joint sacrifice on French soilof the blood of the two great republics.Already by his service he is de factocitizen of the world.of all that portionof it which is fighting the battle ofcivilization. Let us welcome the oppor¬tunity to ratify fate.

The Wounded MarinesThe argument that a wounded soldier

makes for the Liberty Loan is as lin-

answerable as a machine gun bullet. Itis complete before a sound is uttered.Most Americans wish only to shakehands.before they hurry off to sub-scribe.

I That is why the wounded marines ofBelleau Wood.now Bois de la Brigadedes Marins Américains.were the best

j pleaders for the loan in the city thisweek. If there is any false, squeamish-ness about seeing a wounded soldier any-where, the sooner it is recovered fromthe better. We shall have many of them.And by the new wisdom in the treatment

I of injured humans they are to be activeand useful members for the rest of theirlives.with a little extra honor andgood wrill to the end. That honor hasalready begun. The cheers for ourmarines were heartfelt and long. So,

! too, were, the bond subscriptions in theirwake.

j We won't go through the form of put-j ting in words the argument that these1 men made wherever they appeared. But.have you made your sacrifice in thename of the wounded American soldiers?

What Are the War's "Real Costs" ?It is a long time since we have heard

very much about the "economic exhaus¬tion" that was to bring a speedy end tomodern wars. The plain facts appear tobe that the burdens of this gigantic war

are not relatively greater than were thoseof previous wars of like duration. Inother words, the effort is very roughlyproportional to the capacity, or, if youplease, the actual "war power."We know now thht the war effort can-

not be measured in dollars or in poundssterling. If it could, then the "exhaus-tionists" would have been right and thewar could never have continued as longas it has. But it is obvious that a nationcannot spend one hundred per cent of itsincome on war and go on living. Yetthis is exactly what England, for ex-

ample, has seemed to be doing. At thebeginning of the war its estimated an-

nual income was around eleven billionsof our money. Its actual war disburse-ments this year will considerably exceedthis. Yet the nation is well fed and, onthe whole, prosperous.To do away with this apparent contra¬

diction in terms, Professor Pigou, of Ox-! ford, has proposed a definition of "thewar's real costs." Those costs, says Pro-fessor Pigou, are measured by "thethings we do without"; in other words,

I by the sacrifices we make. This has in-teresting implications for our immediatetask over here.that is, raising thelargest war loan in history. A greatmany people doubtless measure theirability to subscribe for bonds by theircurrent surplus at the bank. They donot consider what they may eaerifice intheir expenditures. So far as the warneeds of the nation are concerned, the oneis just as important as the other.A dollar taken from tjat feftjjl and

given to the government may bo a dollardeflected from some rather useless em¬

ployment. But that is merely a guess.A dollar saved from current expendituremeans a dollar less in Hie millions ofmillion.-; of dollars that are bidding forgoods and comforts and luxuries against,the government. If tens of millions ofpeople save these dollars of needless ex¬

penditure the effect is tremendous. Inthe aggregate it means billions less ofmoney bidding against the government'sbillions, to make the war cost twice, andpossibly three times, as much as it other¬wise might.

This is the real meaning of buyingbonds with savings as against buyingwith surplus funds. The great majorityof the three or four millions who are togo to France make serious sacrifices intheir incomes and prospects. It is up tothe hundred million or more who remainat home to try to do as much. And suchsacrifices are in reality only shrewd an¬

ticipation, for the plain fact is that if wedo not make these sacrifices now we shallpay the bill later, from our incomes, inthe added cost of the war.

For a statesman who hau been accel¬erating in so many ways the conduct ofthe world's greatest war Edwin S. Harris,chairman of the. New York DemocraticState Committee, has recently been ex¬

hibiting strangely pacifistic tendencies.He doesn't want to drop his office forreasons which seem good to the Demo¬cratic nominee for Governor. Yet hohesitates to fight the issue out to a finishwith his critics and his fellow committee-men. An unyielding consciousness ofwell-doing in a world of pitfalls shouldreact with a little, more militaristic vigor.It should be made of sterner stuff.

Damascus and AfterBy Frank H. Simonds

Copyriyhi, l!tl8, New York Tribune Inc.THE struggle for Northern France

and Belgium and the astoundingchange in the Balkan situation

have served to distract attention fromthe very great events in Asia Minor andin Syria; yet it is hardly too much to saythat the consequences of Allenby's vic¬tory in Palestine may include the great¬est revolution in five centuries in West¬ern Asia.On the military side it is clear that the

British victory north of Jerusalem, fol¬lowed by a vigorous exploitation of thatvictory, has resulted in the clearing ofa large section of Syria and the comple¬tion of the conquest of Palestine. Da¬mascus has fallen. Beirut is certain tobe in Allied hands within a few days,and the British are sweeping north alongthe Aleppo-Damascus railway. All or¬

ganized Turkish military force in Syriahas disappeared, and the problems of theBritish commander aro those of trans¬port rather than of strategy.As it stands, Allenby at Damascus if

about two hundred miles south of Aleppowith a clear road before him. Alreadjthe situation of the Turkish forces irMesopotamia has become dangerous, amit is a matter of life and death for thento retire over the Bagdad railway fronMosul to Aleppo before Allenby gets Uthe latter city and thus cuts their onhline of communications by rail or b:decent road with Anatolia and Constantinople.

In the next few weeks, therefore, wiare to see a rapid change in the EastThe British army which captured Bagdad will push north and west along tlvrailway and the Tigris and Euphratevalleys to a junction with Allenby abouAleppo. The Turkish army will have tretire to and beyond Aleppo, and cai

hardly hopes to stand until it reaches thcountry north of the Gulf of Alexandretta, where Alexander the Great woI j famous victory of Issus.

This means that Palestine, Syria, Me.'opotanaia and the Arabian littoral arlost to the Turk. It means more: at lasthe Turkish domination of the Arabiaworld has come to an end, and with thpolitical goes the religious authorityThe Osmanli have now lost all the hoicities of the Mahometan world. Meceand Medina are in the hands of an Arasovereign, recognized by the Allies undcthe title of the King of the Hedjaz.When the war is over Syria, Mesopi

tamia, Palestine and the remainder of tlArab provinces of the Turk will be diiinitively separated from the TurkisEmpire. But there remains the probleiof Armenia, and when the British armiihave reached Mosul they will be able tsend troops north to Diarbekr, Kharpiand even to Erzerum. Thus, in a veireal sense Allenby's victory has alreacinsured the liberation of both the Ar;bian and Armenian peoples. At no ditant date we may hope to see the Tuithrown back into his own proper landthose of Anatolia, peopled mainly tOsmanli.And the changes taking place in Wes

ern Asia are likely to endure. The liqidation of the Turkish estate in Euro]has been a long, difficult, dangeroiprocess. But the liquidation of the Tukish estate in Asia promises to be a fsimpler task, accomplished, as so oftenhistory, as the result of u single tremedous military success.But we are all of us more interest

in the German than in the Turkish 6! pect. The Germans planned te dominaTurkey, to control the Mahometan woithrough their control of Turkey andexploit the religious fanaticism of 30000,000 Mahometans to their own pro!

The Bagdad railway was to give tGerman-controlled Turkish Empire jlitical and economic unity and to enalthe Germans to carry Turkish armiicommanded by Prussian officers, to tfrontiers of Egypt and of India. Giman dreamers saw in the plan thus oi

A DISORDERLY RETREAT

lined the foundation of a German su-

premacy in Western Asia and in North¬ern Africa. The pathway of Alexanderthe Great was to be reopened for Will¬iam II.The dream has vanished. German

communication with Turkey has beendoomed by Bulgaria's collapse. Mittel¬europa, which two years ago extendedfrom the Baltic Sea to Bagdad, is alreadybeing thrown back behind the Danube,and the recession is now certain to ex-

tend much further. But with Germanyseparated from Turkey it remains neces¬

sary to deal with Turkey now and forthe future, that there may be no returnof the German to Asia Minor.

In this situation it is not as simple forthe Turk to make peace as it was forthe Bulgar. Bulgarians know that theymust sacrifice Serb, Greek and Rumanian conquests, but would expect to retainBulgarian lands. The Turk, on the con

trary, can expect to save relatively littleof bis still great empire. Not imperial- Iist it- ambitions on the part of his ene-

mies, but the crimes o\' the Turk againsthis subject people, have determined Alliedpolicy.

In a very real sense, therefore, Allen¬by's victory promises to prove one of themomentous events of Western Asiatichistory, and already as an immediate'consequence a great empire is crumblinglie fore our eyes.

A New Rifle RangeTo the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: The great new navy riñe range onthe Great Piece Meadows at Caldwell, N. !..is now open. The range affords opportuni¬ties and facilities for rifle practice abso-lately unprecedented in this part of thecountry.Tu quote from the official orders of the

Navy Department governing the conduct ofall navy rifle ranges, of which Caldwellrange is our :

"It is the desire of the Navy Departmentto cooperate Lo the fullest extent, possiblewith its facilities in carrying out the pro¬visions of Section 113 of the national de¬fence act, approved June -'!, 19)6, requiringthat al! ranges which may have been con-structed in whole or in part with funds pro¬vided by Congress shall be open for use bythose in any branch of the military andnaval service, and by able-bodied male eltl-zens capable of bearing arms."

This range will be "open to troops of the,army, state troops and all able-bodied malecitizens capable of bearing arms, especiallythose about to be called into the service ofthe United States."The officers in charge uf the range espe-

cially desire that a systematic effort bemade to senil to the range every possibleman who is registered and about to ^o intoFederal service-. They will give every suchman as much instruction in rifle, pistol andmachine gun shooting as he will give thetime to take. No greater service con berendered by your organization at the pres¬ent critical time than to take immediate andenergetic action with a view to sendingevery possible registrant, in organizedbodies or as individuals, to this range, thathe may learn to shoot, the service arms be¬fore beinp: calle,1 to the colors.

Barracks and mattresses are provided.Every man remaining over night must takehis own blankets, and is advised to wear auniform or old clothes end to take a ponchoto use when shooting prone.

In Hearstless NevadaThe Nevada Stale Council of Defence has barred all Hearst 'publi¬

cations from circulation. A ftertuard the following statement icas issued'By H. A. Lemmon

Director Nevada Stale Council oj Defenct

IT APPEARS to be Mr. Hearst's intentionto flood Nevada with circular letters

containing among other things this patheticappeal :

"The State Council of Defence . .

knowingly or maliciously has used itsgreat power to hurt an innocent man, or

else has suddenly become blinded to thefacts, and on the strength of hearsay or

paid propaganda does .Air. Hearst and hispaper a great injustice."And then again, in another appeal, which

I assume he will distribute, declared thatthe opposition to his publications may bedue to the big interests, which do not ap¬prove- of his policy of public ownership,abolition of booze, clean politics, betterwages and hours, etc., etc. The man whowrote the stuiT is either a liar or an idiot,and the cleverness of it eliminates the lat¬ter hypothesis from my mind.Above all, Mr. Hearst now desires to be

judged only by his editorial utterancessince the United States has been in thewar, but cries "King's Ex." on anythingthat went on before.

Compelled to

Kiss the FlagMr. Hearst is in the position precisely of

the detected pro-German who is compelledby a delegation of outraged citizens to kissthe American flag. He is vociferous in hissuddenly acquired loyalty, but many of us

will still persist in judging his characterand heart from what he said and didprevious to last May, when the new espion¬age law into operation.

It is trite to say that we are fighting foran idea.or, to put it in another form, todestroy an idea. England and France andCnnada long since prohibited the circula¬tion of the Hearst newspapers in their do¬mains. Likewise they denied his corre¬

spondents the right to use the cables. Suchwas the attitude of our allies, giving oftheir lifeblond to a cause for the support ofwhich we have pledged our last dollar aridour last man.

However, it is but fair to Mr. Hearst tostate that the belligerent nations are notof one mind. The Kaiser spoke very highlyof Mr. Hearst to Mr. Davis and character¬ized the Hearst, nawspapers as the only"fair paper» in America."

Bolo Pacha testified also for Mr. Hearst,and in an eulocv of him dilates uun thepeculiar characteristics of his idol whichwould most probably appeal to a convictedand later-to-be-executed traitor like Bolo.

Kaiser, BoloAnd Hearst

So we have the Kaiser, Bolo Pacha andHearst on one side, and England, Canadaand France on the other. The vote hardlystands three to three.Just previous to our entrance into this

war- but at a time when it was plain toMr. Hearst that we would be in it Mr.Hearst, in speaking of the President of thetinted States, said:

"If this country is going into war wedon't want a schoolmaster in the White

House; . we want a commander inchief who knows his business, and not a

vacillating, incompetent who doesn'tknow cither his business or his own

mind."If President Wilson was a "vacillating in¬

competent" a bit over a year ago, he muststill be so in Mr. Hearst's mind. Mr. Wil¬son hasn't changed.Over his own signature Mr. Hearst Justi¬

ne.! the sinking of the Lusitania, whichmurderous act embraces one of the funda¬mental purposes for which we went to war-.¦ h < ¡ermany.Germany was very anxious to stir up

trouble between the United States andJapan. Has any American forgotten howassiduously Hearst lent the power of hisjournals for this purpose?

Since We HaveBeen at War

But then it isn't necessary to speak ofthe days before the United States enteredthis conflict. If constant readers and loyalones.of "The Examiner" and other Hearstpublications.are not aware of the fact thattheir opinions and their reason are still be¬ing undermined that fact is the best possi¬ble proof of the extreme peril which lurksin these organs.

Since we have been at war" Hearst hasopposed our programme of sending men,food and supplies to assist our allies andcalled upon Congress to prevent it (AprilII). President Wilson has most noblypictured the reasons we are in this war. Mr.Hearst throws the falsehood in PresidentWilson's teeth by asserting that "the pain¬ful truth is that we are being practicallyused as a mere reinforcement of England'sfuture aggrandizement" (April 24), andagain on March 23, "This proposition thatwe shall finance the Allies and send ourboys for cannon fodder is a Wall Streetproposition and nothing else." Mr. Hearstis not alone in this opinion. Every unhung1. W. W. and every other form of traitorstill at large in the United States is evennow preaching from this same text.

Slurs Upon theGreat Undertaking

Since we have been at war Hearst haslent the power of his publications to at¬tacking our motive in entering it; to at¬tacks -on our allies, with whom we havecast our fortune and our future existence.One of the outstanding features of the war,in so far as America's entrance, is con¬cerned, is the selective draft. Is there atrue American who is not proud of it? Ithink not. Yet on June 20 Mr. Hearst said:"Further service, in the war should be amatter of choice for Americans. .

These papers have said consistently andwill continue to maintain that the Ameri¬can soldiers who go to France should go asvolunteer;«, and not as conscripted mensent by the will of government." Howheartily the German staff must echo thutthough¦We had a meeting in Reno yesterday, a

When ThatTime Comes

Under no circumstance:, must any f >rm

of propaganda be tolerated which will tend -1

tu weaken the hands of the President atthe final peace table, and yet Mr. Hearst.since we have been at war.has repeatedlyand offensively sought to discredit the basicprinciple underlying every one of them.Possibly that is why the Council of De¬fence saysc it cannot trust him.

Possibly they fee! that should this war

When that '¡mecomes the soil will be fallow for just suchinsidious undermining of our determina¬tion as Hearst hus proved himself masterof, and it is reasonable to assume that hisfuture course will be charted y hand present one. When that time comes itis reasonable to believe that thr I. W.
