Mr. Wilson on the Defensive,
Anything thnt Mr. Wilson says
with emphasis In n set speech to-day
la naturally Invested with slfjnlncance.
The mcetlnc of the Associated Art
yertlslnc Clubs of tho World In I'hll
adelphla on Thursday gave him an
opportunity to adjust himself to in
ternatlonal and political conditions as
they now exist, and In such a pres
ence he could make the most of it. If
Mr. Wilson', hearers expected him to
ay anvthlnc definite, or anything nt
all abont Mexican relations or the
Teat war, they wero disappointed
and they deserved to be. The con
crete anil the relevant are seldom, if
Tver, to be found In his addresses.
He Is sentimental, philosophical, and
eren psychological. Ho hits no nail
on the head. Ho docs no more than
Dcourngo Interpretation
Bo far as Mexico was concerned
Mr. Wilson's speech wns neither n
peace nor a wnr speech. It appealed
to, If It did not satisfy, both the advo
cates of Intervention and the pacifists.
Thus when the President said "I am
In fighting wood." his hearers pricked
up their ears, but what did he want
to fight for? Nothing very tangible
5 ballava most profoundly in the duty
af ovary American to exalt the national
eonackmantiia by purifying his own mo
tive, and exhibiting hi own devotion.
"America, th country which we put
flrat In our thought, should be ready in
very point of policy and of action to
Vindicate at whatever cost the principle
of liberty, of Justice and of humanity
to which we have been devoted from the
first You have not only got
to be Just to yooir fellow men. but ns
nation you have got to be Just to other
nations."
This anil nothing more concerning
the critlcnl relations of the United
States with Mexico or any nation
overseas. If application nt all could
be made. When Mr. Wilson deals In
such abstraction the average man,
whom he halls as n fellow democrat
("with a little M' "), and who Is nun

flfalrs of the moment, must wonder
jhnt he Is driving at. Hut he Is ready
fight for thee things "at nny cost
01 myself." I Vies Mr. Wilson really
now how to light for nn.vthlng?
In Mr. Wilson's observation that
"no small body of persons, no mat
ter how Influential, shall be trusted
to determine the policy and develop
ment f America." we fancy that men
of the critical faculty In his audience
must have discovered a thrust at the
Republican party. Hut In grsat eli
tes party lines are thrown down and
men think for themselvrs. "The pat
riotism anil energy and Initiative of
the average man." which he professed
to believe In, will pass upon his stew

If Mexico possessed ft stable Govern

the United States to submit to arbi
tration the question as to how far

hurjtlnr Is not only Indiscreet but
foolhardy.
enthusiasm for arbitration as a rea
sonable, civilised and benign method
of saving a quarrelsome world from
bloodshed Is not tmpralseworthy, but
It too often of late has led to use
less, even mischief making, meddling.
The murder of American men, the
rape of American women, the torture
of American children are matters that
cannot be laid before a peace tribunal.
The President of the United States
should not be asked at this crisis to
devote any of his valuable time to the
pleadings of even the worthiest men
and women who fall to realize that
recent events In all parts of the world
have postponed Indefinitely the mil

The PowerfBl Bmslan Advaaea.
In twenty-six rtnys, according to
their official advices, the Russians
have taken 20,1,000 prisoners. If the
eastern front of tha Central Powers
be regarded as one continuous line
from the Dwlna to the Rukowlna-
Moldavia (Rumanian) boundary, and
It Is one continuous line except where
Interrupted by mnrshes, the right of
that line has been turned and en
veloped. Rukowlna Is practically In the
hands of the Russians, and If the tide
of their mossed and militant human
ity, directed by the genius of Havat-
lokf, Is not stayed, the entrance of
Rumania Into the war with her 600,
000 splendidly equipped troops will
be a question of the "psychological
moment.''
Hy the occupation of KlmpoJnng
the Russians command passes Into
Hungary. In the llrst Oallclsn cam
paign they Invaded Hungary for a
distance of fifty miles, hut Macxeh-
sen's Irresistible advance through Qa-
llcla compelled the Russians to with
draw precipitately. Whether German
resources and generalship are equal
to the task of repeating the victories
of the spring of 1015 will soon be
known, for no time must be lost
If the Russian offensive, which Is
planned on a larger acale than aver,
Is to be broken up.

Slackers
and Arse Conscientious
Objectors
Great Rrltaln met the difficulty of
the "slacker" by a conscription hill
In dealing with the conscientious oh
Jector, however, she squarely con
fronted the question of individual
rights, always strongly rocognrznd In
Knglnnd nnd frequently udvnnced dur
ing the present war. When It was
reported that a group of men who
opposed military service ro sen
fenced to death, a statement; was dft'
mauded from the Government.
This Premier Asqrmt has Just
made In the House of Commons. He
said that men who put forward the
plea of conscientious objftctlon as a
cloak to cover Indifference In respond
ing to the national call "ought to be
treated with tho utmost rigor." but
that conscientious ohjectors who un
dertook "work of national Importance
would ceaso to be the subject of mili
tary discipline." The work referred
to Is evidently the non-combatant ser
vice nt the battle front, certnln defined
duties In the hospital and supply de
partments and the digging nnd repair
of trenches nnd defences.
The real. conscientious objoctors in
Great Rrltaln are found mostly
I among the Friends or Qnnkers and
the Plymouth Hrrthren. On the Con
tinent they would be found nmong the
Hunkers, Mennotiltes, kindred relig
ion bod lex ami the gypsies. The last

This utterance made In tense mo
menta preceding the civil war may
fully express this nation's attitude.
Systematic opposition of the country
may eliminate the conscientious ob
jector; but If he should exist and his
objection be genuinely based upon re
ligious convictions, It la Improbable
that he would be made the victim' of

"Overtlne" Patriots.
Pause must be given, It would
seem, to even the most fanatical of
pacifists on contemplating tha present
manifestations of the unchanged stuff
of Americanism. With the National
Guard in training camp or en rente
for the border (alas that their equip
ment Is so Inferior to their seal and
loynltyl), while the Plattaburga are
buckling down to work with enthusl
asm equal to last year's and a marked
increase of serious purpose ; with an
army of devoted women shouldering
the responsibilities of families tempo
rarily deprived of masculine preet
dence, whtla others prepare for
woman's work of mercy In wartime;
with employers promising to keep th
pny envelopes full and the Jobs open:
In the face of these erideneea of loy
alty and readiness to serve, what can
the ideallser, the slacker of any sort
the peace at any price preacher find
to ssy that will be heard!
In the midst of such a display of
vertebrate determination, a display so
far reaching nnd all embracing, when
all are doing so well, can any he said
to excel the rest?
Omitting, then, the suggestion of
comparison, we are Impelled to aay
that this paragraph In tha dally news
shines out with splendor:
"A reqoeet by Borough President
Masks yesterday for an expression of
opinion as to the beat war to meet the

ployees on military duty brought from
the employees of th Borough of Man

form the service of men called to the

rosrlble to continue all the actlrltlee of
the borourh without filling many of th
vacancies caused by the absence of regu
lar employees."
The service of those "who only
stand ant wait" is not enough for
these faithful employees of Father
KNicKuaocxca and nephewa of Uncle
Sam. Unable to go to "the front,"
they do not languish at home. They

Legitimate submarine warfare has
not been abandoned by Germany, but
not so many enemy and neutral mer

In any sacrifice of combatant rights
by Germany, but In the vigilance of
the British fleet and Its thousands of

Into tho midsummer hent of an arid

To tiik Kiutor or The sun Sir' I
read In the theatrical columns of The

I have, frequently seen and admired has
returned to Ixjndon to Join the army
Know-In? that at leaM 3. COO KiiKllsh
actoi were still In thl country, and
further noting that the London news
papers are denounclntr them for their
lack of patriotism and also decrying the
engagement of American actors for the
Ixmdon stage, the thought occurs to me
that some retallatlve move should lie
made, not so much for the protection of
tho American actor, because he can pio
let himself, but to force by such action
the return to their own home, which 1s
calling for them, of the thousands of
slackers now enjoying repjiectful and
considerate attention here.
I have watchrd carefully the list of

To thr Editor or Ths Si;n Sir: Al
though I am going to vote for Mr.
Hughe I think Mr. Wilson's policy it
weakness Is largely chargeable to his
knowledge tht he couldn't set tho rati-

Itoosovelt, Taft and Hughes,
To ths Editob or THR Hvh KW: I
have read your paper morning and eve
ning for sixteen years, and am not go
ing to stop now, no matter what you
print. Just returning from a three day
visit with our company at Mount Gretna,
I feel I must write ou that the men
nnd the relatives and friends of the
men who are aasemhled ther ready to
give their lives for their country have
no sympathy with campaign attacks on
tho President nt this time. We are
mobilizing our mllltnry force, nnd may
In a few day be at war. The people
are not thinking about whom to vote
for next November. There is plenty of
time for that.
Mr. Hughes should go ahead with his
campaign schemes, complete the ar
rangement of all the varlou deal and
ln the early fe.ll try hie best to con
vince the people that he could have
done better than Mr. Wilson hns done
and Is better able to nit the Presidential
shoe for the next term.
It I easy to call a man Incompetent,
Inefficient, uncertain, wabbly. Ac To
me the word are detestable, and for
some time have been worked to death
by carrle thinker ami talker. All
our PrtsldentH have tieen abut-ed, nnd
alwas at critical periods Ilk the pres
ent one.
If Ths 8t'N wer printed In small

ho would probably not appear too con
splcuously ln public places.

The Horse' Ferl.
To the KniTOK or Titr. Sun Sir; Those
zealous followers of oUI saw and wise
a)lnga iJiould know whence the saws
emerged before following too blindly
"Never map horces when crossing a
stream" was not Intended to forbid the
swapping of horses, but to point n Joke
on the unwise. It waa the good old
Saxon monk Wlddlbald, I think, who
told the story of the keen horse trader
who owned a horse with a bad foot.
and who lay In wait for a foolish neigh
bor once und when ho saw him riding
across the ford, boldly Tode In to meet
him and proposed a trade. The defective
horsn whs handsome enough, nut the
neighbor was only foolishly wise.
"Is he sound?" asked he of th wise
one.
"He I perfectly sound a you see
him." was the answer.
nut as the hore' feet wera under
water, the foolish trader had a lesson
to learn when he reached home. The
good monk's wl?e saw whs therefore
uttered In Jest.
Now, we know th feet of President
Wilson. He has had them In so much
hot water of his own making that he
han had to lift them up for relief. We
know the defect In the feet.
We know also the feet of Hughes.
The -wise man who know will swap In
the stream horses or Presidents.

figured, delayed proceeding lo hi, 1, Hn
extent mat the committee had to u,. i., i
last day.
Nothing wns divulged omVlullv uboui
what happened In the closed sessioii bm
rumors were many. It was said Hut
Itohln had been called to tut about
real estate transaction during Mr Will,
cox's chairmanship. At any rate when I
he committee convened In open ssi-ka.
Mr, Willcox said he hud nppenrrd no! 1
n connection with anything Ilnbln hail
o say but to make a statement roverlnt
his views of the entire dual subway
negotiations. He received permission i
submit such a statement to the com
mittee before Its report Is made to tl.e
Legislature.
Robin's testimony largely concerned
his experience In setting a franehlm
for Ihe South Shore Traction Company
o run a line from Patchogun to tie
(Juecnsboro llrldge. He said his deHlltiri
with the Tammany adminletrHtion were
most pleasant but when thn Mltchel
regime began it was different lie a'.so
attacked the Public Service Commleelor..
The commission at first vetoed the fran.
chlse that had been granted by the Me
Clellan administration. In connection
with the Inter efforts of the company
Robin made sensational chalces.
He alleged that nn employee of the
city In the Hoard of Kstlmate'a bureau
of franchise had told him If he did no'
'come across with Ks.opo" he would
have a hard time fretting hie franchise
Itohln said he did not "coma acroan

the committee that tho Mouth Shore roal
was not built during 1309-10-U-i:
because the city would not permit !t,
ilthough frienda of the city administra
tion were allowed to run n line acron
the bridge, and succeeded In s-llll.t; real
estate near the Queensboro pl.iz
Itohln said that when he reltnqu!she1
the South Shore road to other personi
there was no morn trouble and elr.ee
the road was built It made money
itohln charged that the Public Servi'e
Commission acted ns a bulwark amun4
existing coriKirntlons ond told the com-
mltteo thnt not more than ten miles o!
new railroads had been built since the
act went Into effect. As to the Com
missioners ln general he said ; "Some
are honest. Some are human " Mr
Mota asked him to explain, but Sena'nr
Lawson, who figured In the telephone t.
tension case eiome month ago, re.
marked; "I think thnt Is very well
put. Robin denied any "graft in con
nection w ith his projects and said he sit
the franchise on Its merits alone,
