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. Meals will befurnished at the navy mess at 23 centseach, 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

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
war conférence; we are proud of the worliof our bed Cross and its self-sacrificing

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
continue for a term of years suffering andsacrifice may obscure our vision; may dullour finer sense of justice; may lessen our
eagerness to reach the glorious goal we
have set for ourselves. 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. W.'s.the English haters, the open or secret pro-Germans, the Non-Partisan League andevery other un-American and pro-Germanforce will be led by the twelve great dailynewspapers and the seven magaz.ines pub¬lished by William Randolph Hearst. Thenwill come the true test of our dem^-racyand of our spirit, and it will be America'senemies at home who must be defeated firstof «11. The more we fight themless we will have to fight them later

All men while at the range are under thecommand of the commanding officer of therange and subject to his authority.The range is situated about four miles
from Caldwell, X. J., about twenty milesfrom City Hall, New York, and about four¬teen miles from Park Square, Newark. Itmay be reached most easily by the ErieRailroad, Greenwood Lake division, Cald¬well branch; by the Public Service trolleyfrom Newark to Caldwell, jitney 'bus ser¬vice from Caldwell to the range, or by auto¬mobile.Complete information as to routes, rates,
