T OOKING at what war may mean from its most serious aspect, it •L-t seems appropriate at this time, says the Newburgh News, to quote from letters written by Alan Seeger, and American soldier in the For eign L ^ o n , who was noted as a poet, and who fell on the field at Beiloy-en-Santerre on the anniversary of American independence a year ago: “\Miat is Virgil’s line about the pleasure it will be some time to recall having one done these things? I have knowm that all along, through no matter what fatigue and monotony. Never have I regretted doing what I am doing, nor would I be anywhere else than wdiere I am. I pity the poor civilians who shall never have seen or known the things that we have seen and known. Great as are the pleasures that they are 'continuing to enjoy and that we have renounced, the sense of being the instrument of Destiny is to me a source of greater satisfaction. Noth ing but good can befall the soldier, so he plays his part well. Come out of the ordeal safe and .sound, he has had an experience in the light of which all life thereafter will be three times richer and more beautiful; wounded, he will have the esteem and admiration of all men and the approbation of his own conscience; killed, more than any other man, he can face the unknown without misgiving—that is, so long as Death comes upon him in a moment of courage and enthusiasm, not of falter ing 'or of fear; and that this may, if necessary, be the case, I shall strain all my will the day it comes round to our, turn to go into the furnace;-” In another letter is the same expression of satisfaction: “Had I the choice I w'ould be nowhere else in the world than where I To the WTiter, tears for the dead “should be sweetened by the sense that their death was the death which beyond all others they would have chosen.” “It is the shirkers and slackers alone in this war who are to he lamented.” German Talks of ^‘Next War.” ^ ENKRAL VON LIEBERT, in a speech at Rathenow, Prussia, is VJI quoted by the Deutsche Tageszeitung, according to a dispatch from Amsterdam, as saying : ‘W e cannot sign a peace before we have the Flanders coast, a colonial empire, and maritime bases. Should we not realize this now, we must prepare to w'ork for it after the vrar in view of the next war.” General Liebert’s speech was loudly cheered by his hearers, but it v.'as criticised by the German press. Vorwarts commented thus: “This may prolong the war until Germany has been so beaten that even our Pan-Germans cannot think of a ‘next time.’ ” All In the Open. A LL Americans are agreed that within our own lines in this country j r \ everything shall be above-board and in the open, says the Phila delphia Public Ledger. The government, however, has set up a very proper censorship and its agents are looking into the possibility of dis loyalty that works for ill with a vigor and a greater success than appear on the surface. Hence, the proposition made by Senator King, of Utah, that whenever the German-American newspapers publish any comment on the acts and policies of the United States, they shall print an English translation in parallel columns, is not only common sense, but a pro cedure that no true American can object t o ; that is, if there be any true Americans who are now issuing the strictly German-American publica tions. For the others there should be no consideration. All cables must be in the clear; the foreign mail is censored, so why not the articles and editorials of the foreign-langauge press? Again, Senator King is within the bounds of justice and reason when he suggests that the naturalized citizens who preach and would practice sedition shall be denaturalized by losing their citizenship. Why should we be thin- skinned about these issues when those who have fattened on the bounty of the United States would play it false? Let them come out into the open in acts and language and be judged squarely on what they really stand for- tka Pasquiy kad reutrned from a vacation of two werkai spent at As- kury Park, N. J.
