THE SOUTH BEND TIUBUNE, THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1917. 6 It's All In the Slant WHAT'S YOUR IDEA? -I A Paper for tub People, r. A. MfLiJes. orroii.

I cimnent back to the people. Ths new king will lo less a ruler a.nd mors of a figurehead. Americans will wondor why the Greeks could not complete the work and abolish kingships entirely, in favor of a republican, form of government. But while thoy jnay wonder at that It 1 gratify lug to know that Greece is now on America's side of the fight, although America bad nothing to do with tho diplomacy which unseated the king. It Is Important to know something of the military and strategic value of this change In conditions.

The change marks the first break away from the grip of the Teutonic EVERT day, when we pick up our paper, we glance at the top of the first page to catch the headliner, and that suffices us until the next day. There is so much important news would aot attempt to read all of It. FOR us more than average Interest attached to the abdication of King Constantino. This is an open season for abdications. It Is the easiest way out of trouble, in Constantino's case the ways were Greeced by the allies.

As fhe editor said of the egr, It was laid on our desk: There was a little lawyer man. Who gently smiled as he began Her dead husband's will to And. thinking of his coming fee, He said to her quite tenderly, "You have a nlcs fat leg-acy." Next morning as he lay In bed With plasters on his aching head. He wondered what in 11 he'd said. HAVE we, speaking as a nation, no individuality, no originality lhat we must speak of United States In the trenches as American Tommies or American poilus, or that we can think of no more fitting slogan than "Do your bit?" Isn't it enough that we should have adopted the tune of "God Save the King" for one of our national LIMERICK writers will observe that there ars no limitations in the present contest, except that they mut meter their feet.

The Tribune man is partly right. "Benefited" doesn't look as human as "benefitted." nor doe "diknaped" look as much like a word as "kidnapped." That far we are with him. However, if It were not for little things like these how would us literary fellers persuade the rest of the folks that we were as smart as we think we are? Such words have their uses.

It may be your ton, your brother, your father or your 'husband. Ht success and pood health as a fighting man depends not only on his training and bis abilities but also on what you do to help him. lie muat bav something more than mere soldierly ability; he must have great quantities of ammunition for his rifle or the cannon he aids' in firing, tie must have gas bombs, hand grenades, warm good shoes and boots, warm blankets and plenty of strength-building food. Supposing th's man belongs to the Infantry and is a part of the Pershing Torres which have joined the allies. One of those early morning attacks on the enemy I has ben arranged.

He Bboutd have a hand grenade, but because you failed him he has none.

The cannon behind him are supposed at this fateful moment to elevate their sights and keep the enemy hi Its trenches. Hut because you have ret helped the cannon is short of munitions and its fire ineffective. The enemy comes out of its trenches; it turns loose Its machine, guns and. Its -gas bombs. The attack Is a failure or a rartlul success.

Thousands of American lives are lost, not because the 'soldiers are not good fighters but be-j cause you failed to provide them with, 'munitions and proper supplies for their comfort and safety. Look at the matter in this way and ou will know what a liberty; bond means to the fighting It is the Liberty bond which supplies plenty of ammunition, plenty cannon, plenty of warm blankets and warm clothing and good food. Suiting Liberty I bonds helps the government get the supplies at once -and have them' on hand when the soldiers need them. That Is the only way they can be obtained. The amount of money in-; volved is so great that the help of every man.

Ths abdication of King Constantino, of Greece, is an excellent example of the kind of diplomacy which has figured in all sections of the world within the last few months. It Is the diplomacy ot Internal pressure polite requests growing stronger day by day and backed by threats of revolution and invasion.

The allies who forced abdication of Constantino because bis wife was a sister of the kaiser have contrary to ths usual diplomatic practice made their efforts no secret at all. Step by step they have wriggled and twisted Until ths Oreek populace, nlways more or less sympathetic, has threatened to dispose of ths king unless he stepped aside. The resentment of the populace Is founded on the fact that Constantino was inclined to bs an autocrat. His education and military training were under Teuton advisers. Ths Immediate cause of Ms dethronement was ths fact that be abolished the powers of ths Greek parliament and subjected ever' thing In I his nation to his own autocrat la mi.

Although Greece has retained Us feigning dynasty It has shifted gov- WIN I Won derful olor Combinations in New Bathing Suits empire, it Is an Important break because It comes at, the narrowest part of that territory oyer which the kaiser has exercised his power. Ths chances of tho Germans securing and maintaining a "home in tho snn" are considerably less. Turkey, which was deinded upon to furnish that horns In the sun, now is almost, surrounded by enemy armies. On the northeast and east are the Russians, on the south tho English forces in Asia Minor whose success Is Increasing dally. On the west and northwest are ths Greeks and the French.

The downfall of Turkey and the collapse of the German dream of controlling the Bagdad railway seem more certain titan ever. Even if Russia falls utterly it Is likely that the kaiser's military rone will be cut In two and the Dardanelles may fall into the hands of our allies. Turkey probably will be ths next autocracy to crumble. CON GRESS "AND BOOZE. Congress now baa before It-another new bill to do something or other with the war time liquor question.

The senate agriculture committee on this occasion has prepared a measure which seeks to prohibit the use of grain or other foodstuffs in the manufacture of intoxicants. It also grants the president the power to take over existing stocks for war purposes. It must be conceded that his bill Is much better than tho recent one so amiably considered In the presence of the beer lobby. It seemingly has the merit of dealing with alcohol on a sane footing, regardless of whether tho poison is contained in beer or whisky. This bill at least attacks the problem of saving 7,000,000,00 pounds of food a year the rations of 7,000,000 The waste of food in drinkstuffs doubtless is the strongest possible argument for war time prohibition.

But the new scheme of the senate, while it may save the foodstuffs, fails absolutely to i save the stomachs, ths brains and the morals of the nation. Not only that, but-a reading of ths digests of tho bill Indicates that it is a cowardly bit of legislation. It again leaves It to the president to determine whether, the law shelf or shall not be effective. Are congressmen afraid of tho whisky ring and tho brewers trust? War time prohibition has been proposed not merely as a food saving measure but as a man saver. Booze can destroy In a day or two all tho stamina that a training camp can put in a soldier.

It is doing it 'right now near nearly every training camp, as reports from Philadelphia, Fort Sheridan and Fort Benjamin Harrison show. It is doing it in spite of the fact that congress recently passed and made operative" a law forbidding saloonkeepers to sell drinks to soldiers in uniform. What do the boose dealers care for a law, even If it Is a federal law? Their business is founded on disrespect, evasion and defiance of the law. This whole liquor question Is to be decided within a few days. A dry nation will be a sober nation.

With pro-hibtioa effective thousand of men engaged in the making or selling of the poison' either must join the fighting forces or go to work for a living. They are needed In the wheat fields at once. Voters will do well if they believe in this dry nation idea to writs or wire their congressmen at once. TJrge them to stand up straight and fight tho liquor lobby. Show them that they hare the support o( their constituents.

Some congressmen have not yet absorbed the idea that it requires more moral courage to be awar time lawmaker than a peace time legislator. Show them that more is ex-pec ted of them. Among the" startling disclosures which tho conscription law has brought to light is this: Hundreds of aliens and even alien enemies have been voting for years In the United States without so much as making an effort to become citizens. It Is to be hoped that the government turns over to the proper state and local authorities the full names and addresses of these men so that further frauds may be stooped.

This' little island off tho New Rutland coast Is a terminal moraine; that Is, a great mass of gravel and rock, pushed -out into, the ocean by the too of tho Ice cap that once sat upon North America.

After being no th i ng but a terminal moraine for a good many eons, Kan-tucket was sett! ed by colon la 1 Ne Englanders and became one of the greatest -whaling ports in the world.

The discovery of petroleum was the first blow to Nantucket's greatness and the civil war, which carried away many of its young men never to re- urn was the second.

Then after the war the greater movement westward began. By 1870 the last whaling vessel had made port at the island, and the wharves were rotting and the cottages tumbling down. Nantucket became a drear place a home of old men and of their memories. But Nantucket still had sweet sea breexea and smoothly rounded hills and surf-patted beaches. The people that play in the summer found this out and came to the island.

Cast oft by Industry, Nantucket took pleasure for her second love. And now she a busier place than ever; for great tourist hotels have taken the place of her warehouses; tiny pleasure boats crowd the docks where the whalers used to ride; and her streets, once rank with the smell of oil and crowded with seafaring figures, are now filled with the tints and flutter ot fashion. WAR RISK INSURANCE. Without action by congress, the bureau of war risk insurance would come to an end in September, but the passage by the house on Saturday last of the bill to continue the bureau, which passed the senate a short time ago, apparently Insures the maintenance of its activities. Tho bill referred to re-enacts the provisions of the existing law, but widens the scope of the bureau's operations by authorizing it not only to effect insurance upon vessels and cargoes but also to Insure the masters, officers and crews of American merchant vessels against loss 'of life or personal injury from war risks, as well as to provide compensation during detention by an en.

eray of the United States -after capture. The bureau Is to have a director with a salary of $5,000 a year. Changes made in. the bill by the house since its passage by the senate will, as usual in such cases, have to be dealt with in conference, but an early agreement is looked for. It is also announced that, the government has in contemplation a plan for the Insurance of the life of every officer and private in the military and naval service at a flat rate of S4.000, without premiums, in lieu of pensions.

Insurance for partial or total disability is also included in the project, arguments In support of. which, are drawn from the success of the war risk insurance PUBLIC THOUGHT NEEDED IFort Wsyns, Nws.J People are wearing, eating, drinking and sleeping war. And we may take It for granted that September comes and It will be up to us to name our delegates, the public will be so thoroughly absorbed by the mobilization of our conscript troops that the convention will be practically forgotten by a great majority of us. Few, indeed, will give the matter any honest attention and as a consequence there will be a perfunctory discharge of a very solmen obligation on election day. The issues will not be properly understood by the average voter and delegates will be elected by those who do not know and do not care what their attitude is on matters of great pith and moment At the time this convention law was passed the News deplored It ai untimely, yet it did not then realise just how untimely it was destined to turn out.

Unless there is a sudden and an unexpected awakening on tho part of the people of this state the election of delegates will be a farce and the convention a travesty. finest in every way we have shown.

A school journal announoes that? the latest histories published contain1 chapters devoted to the Liberty loan. This recalls the study of Liberty loan of other days la McGuffey's history. Many young-old Terre Haute boys will recall It. They did not call them so, but those loans the struggling America a republic secured during the war for independence were quite as much Liberty loans as the loan of to-day. 1 Titers were five patriots instrumental In securing these early loans, without which tho republic could fnot have pulled throurh.

They were Franklin, Adams, Morris, Lee and Livingstone. It was in ITS that John Adams made his attempt to secure the first Dutch loan. The cautious Hollanders were not easily convinced. Finally they let the new nation have 6.000,000 guilders, about $2,000,000. the first Installment reaching America in 1711.

The interest on this loan was five per cent. Franklin negotiated the French loan, which was of an Indefinite and uncertain character. He reported In 1713 that the total Indebtedness to France was IS.000,009 Uvre. The Hvre was worth about 10 cents. There was an actual loan of 1.000.000 litres Included In this amount and what wascalleo! a gift of 6,000,000 llvres.

This was to be spent In France for supplies. The 1.000,009 livre loan was paid in exports, chiefly tobacco. The actual amounts! recived from France were a few mil-: lions, and this was offset by the sale supplies its profits And manipulations. It has been remarked by a leading financial authority that while the founders of the republic were greatly indebted to France, their actual money obligation was Inconsiderable. The real Liberty loans, genuine oh-1 ligations based on strict business principles, were the loans from the Holland bankers.

The first Dutch losn came. In 1782. Congress, pressed by growing drew this loan so rapidly that it was all spent before the last installment came. In alt there were 11 such loans, averaging between 2.000,000 and 5.000,-009 guilders each all of them placed In Holland during the revolution an In the 10 years following peace. All were paid in due time but there is a large obligation of gratitude still unsettled.

These Holland guilders may be call ed the original Liberty loans. I I 1 GERMANIC SOCIALISM. ISprlnctWld. Hut, Bioblci.l John Spargo. the well known socialist writer, in explaining, further his withdrawal from tho soclalUt party, touches on a weak point Jot the orsanUatlon as a force in American politics when be says: "The party has proved Itself to be wholly incompetent to conceive socialism in terms of American life and expert ence." Orthodoxy, tested by acceptance of the theories of Karl Marx, has been of muoh more Importance to the party leadership than knowledge of pressing American problems and intelligent participation in their solution.

Mr. Spargo himself has been one of the staunchest defenders of Marxism, but has emphasized the faot, overlooked by many of his comrades, that Marx, though a theorlzer, was an intense realist, and as a leader faced truth as he saw it. He was "no Marxist," as he often said. That sectarian devotion to theory, without regard to new things in the world since the theory was made, easily grows Into blind acceptance of the pronouncements of strong personalities in the leadership or the sect is evidenced by the socialist party's pro-German pacifism since the war Whether a new socialist party, not made In Germany or unduly devoted to Germany's interests, can make Its way speedily, as Mr. Spargo hopes.

INsw Tork World.1 The Chamber of Commerce -f of the United States would have it made i clear "that the banks canpot take care of the (Liberty loan) bosnds; the bonds must be bought by individuals." We do not suppose there is any lack of popular understanding: this matter. It must be commonly known that the banks which are subscribing for the bonds in mlllons and." tens of millons of dollars are doing se for customers and stockholders and employes. It is only because individuals are subscribing so generally and heavily that they are thus subscribing! But it will be well for any. halting individual investors to remember, and sink the fact into their that in so far as any banks are buying Lib erty bonds on their own exclusive ac count they are doing it in the belief that the bonds will ultimately com mand a handsome premium, Are there to be any laggards on this score?
