A strike of railroad train men is ordered for Monday next, (Labor Day,) at 7 o'clock in the morning. The President and Congress are try- ing to avert it. If the strike be car- ried out it will tie up all the rail- roads in the country. As New York's food supplies would run out in two weeks, and other cities would suffer likewise, it means starvation to large numbers of peo- ple unless the trouble can be settled. We advise our readers to stock up with extra supplies, if possible. = HIRAM W. JOHNSON FOR SENATOR. Our readers remember that Gov- ernor Hiram W.

But $15 e) NOTES on CURIEN‘I’TOI’ICS. BY GEORGE WALLACE, Unwonthy 21.7110. Cries. (coxntixten.) Under this heading last week I made some comments on the silly ery thut President Wilson \has kept us out of war,\ It is clear, and was so set for-h, that the ery is not a statement of fact. We have certainly been in two wars during the past four years, for both of which President Wilson was responsible. My article also set forth the unfortunate fact that owing to Mr. Wilson's policy of not stand- ing up for the rights of the United States und its citizens, he had made this country an object of contempt among the peoples of other nations. MEXICAN MURDERS FOLLOW: MEDDLING, By meddling in Mexican affairs, contr to the rules of international diple c, Mr. Wilson caused Amer- icans to incur the hatred of every fac- wun in that country. This cost the lives of a great many Americans re- siding in Mexico, who would other- wise have remained unmolested-a number estimated at about 500, but no precise records can be obtained. The German and English govern- iments did not meddle with the exist- ing Mexican government. They fol- lowed the well settled rule that a de to government is the one to be nized. Thus they saved the Ger- mans and English residing in Mexico concluded that he might safely at- tack vessels on which American citi- zens were rightfully sailing; that if leaths resulted from the fight Mr. Vilson's policy would consist of noth- ing but words, words, words. The K judgement was cor- commenced by the Kaiser's govern- ment in the killing of one American itizen was continued from time to time, without let or hindrance, until fied by the American people, it will become an established fact in the eves of other nations that an Ameri- can citizen traveling abroad may be attacked and killed without redress. What Might Have Been Done, Had Mr. Wilson issued a declara- tion recognizing the fact that a state of war existed between Germany and the United States; had he then sent Ambassador Bernstoff home and re- called Ambassador Gerard; he would killed our citizens. Of course Con- gress might have been cowardly and refused to furnish such protection; in that event, the blame would not rest on the President. THIS COUNTRY Was WELL PREPARED, If this nation had recognized the fact that Germany was at war with United States, some people would and the Germans could not send an army to Ameri There would have OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE INCORPORATED ficuacs or oxnarauase, Rockwville Centre, Nassau Co., N. Y., Thursday, AUGUST 31, 150,000 square miles. taken' possession of all the German It has also islands in the Pacific Ocean. Great Britain, France, Belgium and Portu- gal have taken possession of the vast German possessions in Africa, Great Britain, as usual, taking the lion's share. Germany hus also lost the privilege of sailing merchant vessels on any of the seven seas. An occasional sub- marine crossing the ocean, at tre- mendous expense, does not alter the fact, One tramp steamer sailing out of New York would take more freight than could be stored in a score of Deutschlands, It is evident that the British navy can also, for years to come, prevent the Germans from car rying on ccean commerce with any other nation. The German vessels interned at New York may remain there until they are rotten unless the British consent to their sailing. Then the war news of the past few weeks or months indicates that even the military strength of Germany is weakening. Since the first of Janu- ary Austria has suffered enormous losses. The Germans seem to be pressed on every side while they have captured nothing; on the eastern bor- der they have certainly lost much to the Russians and there is no report of the Teutons having gained any- thing. The Germans are still very strong and can carry on war for a long time and cause the death of mil- lions more of human beings. But it is generally regarded throughout the world as a hopeless war, their posi- tion being worse than ever since Coumania joined the Allies. The Kuiser evidently realizes the actually established \peace on earth, good will to men\-had made it an tual faci among nations. That would have saved the lives of many millions of human beings since lost in war, but President Wilson had not «een \the vision of humanity.\ He it his name would have gone down the ages as the sreatest statesman of the centuries. A Washington, a Lincoln, a Jefferson or a Roosevelt, man or nation. VIEWED ON A LOWER PLANE, On a lower plane let us think of the great material advantage to the United States had the President adopted such a course, in agreement with the best ethics of Christianity. The result would have brought long continued peace to the United States and saved the expenditure of billions for \preparedness now demanded by the President and almost all po- concerning which our people have an nervous concern, All of this blessed- ness to our own country might thus have- been secured by the nation standing up to its duty in a great emergency. A timorous nation must always pay heavily for its cowardice. AMERICAN® WOULD THEN BE proto AND HAPPY as government protection was con. cerned; his nation would not be held 1916. Infantile Paraiyals Situation Improved Every Indication Points to the Gradual Abatement of the Epidemic Following the precautionary meth» ods pursued by Health Officera in the town of Hempstead, the abatement of infantile paralysis cases has been noteworthy during the past week. The falling off, not only in Freeport, but in Rockville Centre, Lynbrook and in points east where the epidemic was most severely felt, has been fa- vorable,. The health authorities are hopeful that the plague has burned itself out in the city and that the consequent effect on the villages, through carriers will be a healthful one, The discovery made by Dr. A. D. Jaques, of Rockville Centre and East Rockaway, in finding a girl willing to aid him in giving her blood for serum practice, has had its effect for good. Little Miss Ada Merrill, daugh- ter of Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Merrill of Long Beach, has solved a serious sit- uation as far as it concerns the state health doctors, Miss Merrill's im- mune blood (she is recovering from infantile paralysis) has effected three cases of infantile paralysis to the isolation hospital at Uniondale.
